The fact it’s taken Gable this long to be able to show his charisma (yes I know it’s off one meathead word) is nuts. He wasted a whole year as “Shorty G”.
Granted Otis was the most over he had been and they turned him heel (which I still think was dumb) but this pairing has been good when they’re allowed to be funny jocks

It’s smart to hold him off until Mania. Milk the anticipation I guess.
Have him answer Seth on Night 1 and the match on Night 2. Still seems so weird for this to be happening.
Cody winning MITB, challenge at Summerslam, win the title, make him seem like a major player
If not, he’ll be in IC/US purgatory and be the same guy he was when he left,

Zelina & Mella vs Rhea & Liv vs Naomi & Sasha vs Nattie & Shayna is booked for Mania
Boy they really just have never given a shit about the women’s tag division have they? The most randomly “eh, throw’em together, fuck it” bunch of pairings.

Sasha being stuck in this mishmosh of a match is pretty embarrassing to be honest. Rhea too.
Why not have Sasha vs Rhea, RAW vs SD, winner gets a shot at their respective brands champion at the next PPV. Those two could tear it up in a Mania match.
You already would have your next title feud in place with whoever wins between Ronda/Charlotte & Becky/Bianca.
But whatever.

Gable Steveson just won another National Title and took his wrestling shoes off post match and retired. Commentary kept talking about how WWE is on the horizon.
Fuck it, have him show up at Mania. You already drafted him.

The most randomly “eh, throw’em together, fuck it” bunch of pairings. They made sure to throw the two blacks together though. That train is never late in WWE. To be fair, AEW has done a lot of it too. Without Googling, I'm going to assume that Private Party, The Acclaimed & The Martin's were already teams prior to AEW so they don't count. 2 days ago on Rampage, it looked like we're getting a pairing of Swerve & Keith Lee. Prior to that, we had Jay Lethal making the save for Dante Martin. Before that, we saw Lio Rush & Dante together...... before Lio Rush does things that Lio Rush does. Powerhouse Hobbs was teamed up with Ricky Starks. Also without Googling, I'm convinced that Red Velvet and/or Brandi/Big Swole had variations as well. Brandi/Awesome Kong was a thing for a minute too. Scorpio Sky seems to be immune to this line of thinking. Same with Jade Cargill thus far. (And I suppose a few others to date: Sonny Kiss, Nyla Rose, Lee Moriarty, Lee Johnson) Can't think of any black managers in AEW which is kinda weird. |

All fair points, KS.
Bottom line: This shit needs to stop in wrestling.

Where’s Alexa Bliss?
They had those dumb therapy session vignettes that went on (what Twitter said) for like a month straight, she came back the same fucking character in Saudi and she’s missing again. Probably won’t even be on Mania (unless something happened tonight that I didn’t see talked about online).
Man, that Bray Wyatt/Fiend storyline did a number on fucking everyone involved didn’t it? Though I’m not surprised Orton walked away pretty much unscathed.

Hey, Joe found Veer!

Veer might be slowly making his way to RAW, but he’s been 13-0 on Main Event since those vignettes started last NOVEMBER.
Win Loss records mean nothing in WWE, but he’d be in the Top 5 rankings probably for a quick Dynamite or Rampage match for sure.

1. I’m happy Trips is healthy (I’m assuming)
2. I wish he’d go rogue and lay into Vince for taking his creation of the last 10 years, scrapping everything, firing nearly all his friends and the result being pretty much lower/equal ratings.
3. Trips is a company man through and through, so I expect a nice plug for Takeover & Mania weekend
4. I assume Stephen A will be yelling and mad for some fucking reason.
I’ll just read the cliff notes after it happens.

Not the place I'd go with a heart condition, but it's happening. Viral Pneumonia; had fluid in lungs. Then they found very low ejection fraction; went into heart failure and underwent heart surgery. Now has a defibrillator implant; retired from in-ring competition. |

It’s weird to say, but thank goodness he’s done wrestling and something catastrophic didn’t happen in the ring. I know stepping away from the ring must suck for him, but his health is the most important thing.
I wonder if he’ll be back in any capacity? I’d prefer him being in a behind the scenes role but the stress that comes along with that, I don’t even know if that’d be good for him.
Kind of fitting his last televised match was with Orton though.

Rick Breakker & Scott Steiner are going into the HOF. Much deserved.
They need a delay for Scotty.

Well so much for announcing Cody night 1 and wrestling night 2
Seth will know his opponent when he’s in the ring.
Oh well. Seeing Cody back is still going to be weird.

Didn't the NFT's they tried with Cena die miserably previously? The whole NFT thing is a giant scam.

It's rumored Edge will be getting a faction. I'm watching this Andre Battle Royal. What about Edge, Priest, Dijak, and the Vikings?
