I like that in AEW it feels like a sense that if you can get over then the company will go where the fans lead to an extent - Orange Cassidy main eventing? The rise of Jurassic Express and The Acclaimed - where in WWE if you step off the plan you’ll be punished for it (Rusev, Zack Ryder) And I know I’ve said it before but its crazy that WWE would rather do that than make the ‘wrong’ money by using those guys. But sometimes they go cold on pushes. Like Orange had a feud with Jericho, then sort of disappeared back into Best Friends, and only recently got back into the fold with Adam Cole. Same for Men of the Year.. Inner Circle.. Lance Archer disappeared for a while prior to his injury. Brian Cage as well. Cage apparently can’t or won’t tour due to his lack of vaccination. Like a man who looks like that is concerned about what might get injected into his body. |

If Punk beats MJF.... This is actually a big moment for the company. The only right choice is for MJF to win and if Punk beats another hot young talent its just going to add to the he only came back to feed his ego feelings. I get that he needs wind because he’s such a big star and just feuding with him will raise anyone’s profile but you’re right he needs to give the rub in the ring too. My prediction is that this feud is about getting Wardlow not MJF over and that if he doesn’t turn this week he’ll cost MJF the match and its the first big step to breaking away. |

No way, unless the plan was to give him the win then have Randy steal his Mania spot along the way

To be fair it took a botch to really get her over Hmmm don’t agree with that. Fans were begging for someone to pull the trigger with her. Those first MiTB matches especially. And then the fans popped like crazy when they turned her heel (even though they weren’t supposed to) and refused to boo her no matter how heelish they made her. Nia smashing her face in was just the icing on the cake. |

Also I'm guessing Bobby is a face now? He was slapping hands with all the fans. |

They really thinking of doing champ vs champ at WM?

Would it be beyond them to do a triple threat and have Brock walk out with two titles like Becky did

Not really but think that would be a bad decision unless they are ending the brand split.
For me personally it should have been Bobby/Seth/Owens and AJ for the title and Drew vs Reigns vs Brock for the Universal.
Drew more than deserves that big win in front of an actual crowd.
Becky vs Belair
Charlotte vs Ronda
Orton vs Riddle
Raw tag champs vs Smackdown tag champs
Sami vs Nakamura IC title
Priest vs ?
Sounds like it could be Shane vs Theory
Also... damn those suck more than Shane's did

Brock is entering the Chamber?!
How many title opportunities does he need?

Brock is entering the Chamber?! How many title opportunities does he need? So he's now the no.1 contender for the Universal title having declared he will face Roman at WM and in the chamber match for the WWE title as he entitled to a rematch(That Big E never got..) So since returning at SS. He automatically got a title match at the Saudi show. Was then to have a rematch at Day 1 before being put into the WWE title match last minute. Lost the belt at RR but was somehow allowed to take someone else's place and won it with just 2 minutes work. Now I've always been a fan of Brock and have enjoyed this current version but this stuff is just silly. Oh and I could happily watch AJ vs Rey feuding for the title. All in a couple months. |

So the dirt sheets have gone from,
Shane booked the Rumble and pissed everyone off, to no he didn't here a list of who actually booked it.
To going to be competing at Chamber and WM to let go.
They really do just pull stuff out of thin air in regards to WWE

Yeah so many of the wrestling news sites (like Wrestling Inc, What Culture) are pure bullshit. The only sources I trust to have insider knowledge are Keller, Meltzer/Alvarez and more recently Andrew Zarian from the Matt Men podcast.

Meltzer is terrible and constantly wrong.
This this week alone he said Brock wouldn't be at Raw or competing at Elimination Chamber.
They all just spew utter nonsense and people actually pay them for it.

Watched NXT and if they changed a few things it could be such a good show and still be more WWE than Indie like it was before.
Definitely need to dim those lights during matches.
Up the crowd size.
And probably most importantly treat it as a 3rd show rather than developmental and have wrestlers from Raw/Smackdown on it more.
But also acknowledge it on those shows. Impact saw a big ratings increase thanks to the attention it got from Mickie being at the Rumble.
No surprise Bron can deliver a sweet spear.
This was great as well
(Match is worth a watch)
Also pretty funny they had to keep cutting to black whenever Raquel kept falling out her top. First Rhea now her this week.

Oh no doubt. Nobody has to this day topped Goldberg's, IMO. Rhyno's gore was incredible though.
Scottie Jr's looking good though.

Edge was always too skinny to spear. By the time he got enough beef on him, he had neck issues that made spearing people dangerous.
