Pretty sure all of them are up just after WrestleMania, give or take a month.

it'd be cool to have a legit shocker of a debut outside of Mox who was maybe-kinda-sorta expected beforehand but still a big entrance. But I can't think of many other free agents or defections in 2019 that would be possible to get a decent pop.

Bring in the original Mrs. Fandango.

Come on turning Best Friends heel and making them Jericho’s goons like we were fantasy booking 10 pages ago.

Would also accept Evans/Angelico in goon roles, but would not expect to see them plugged into this match.

That would probably make Chuck super happy, Chris Jericho's heel run in WCW is why he became a wrestler

I'm really hoping Scurll comes over.

I'm not even gonna bother feigning like this is possible but, has Balor re-signed yet? Heard he was still a holdover who hadn't signed a new deal yet and possibly his contract was coming up.

He’s been granted a 2 month leave of absence post SummerSlam so that will probably get tacked on his contract if he doesn’t re sign

Also didn’t he just marry or get engaged to a Fox Sports personality? I’d be surprised if he leaves.

That said, it didn’t stop Moxley.

Devitt has not resigned at this point. He has a lot of options. I know he hasn’t been happy with his WWE career. I know he has expressed desire to work in both the UK and Japan more.

The time off I have heard is WWE giving him time away to think about his options.

My opinion is if he leaves he will be a mega star, possibly bigger than Mox. If he stays he will be a upper mid carder that they will use the silly Demon thing to sell merch and make a ton of money.

I think the ceiling for him is higher outside.

that's all news to me, as I always had the impression he was a very easygoing guy who'd be 100% fine with making shitloads of WWE dollars and doing whatever they wanted him to do.

If he went back to how he was in NJPW he'd no question be a huge loving deal; he should have always been a Top Man in WWE and would be an instant megastar anywhere else. It's a shame he's been such a bloodless promo because his work in Japan was very intense and fiery; I always thought he was an excellent villain.

I think if there were no other options he would probably be fine being a WWE yes man. A big reason why he left NJPW was he wanted to be a bigger name overseas and was pushing for more of a US and Euro expansion but they were not interested at that time. Now with NJPW wanting to be a player, AEW being a major player and a ton of options around to not only make money but to have a much higher profile it makes sense for him. Guns and Gallows were all but gone until WWE came back at them with a stupid, stupid offer. But then again they are not stupid enough to think they have the upside of Devitt on the outside either.
