There's rumours in various places about who "Infinito" is, with Bryan Danielson being a popular choice.

Danielson is versatile enough that if he doesn't want to be recognised under a hood, he can switch up his style and it'd be very hard to tell.

Cody also said he didn't care about the name Cody Rhodes and he would always just keep being Cody. Then the second he could use the Rhodes name it was a big celebratory moment and he kept using it.

Rule number one: Cody lies.

I am all here for Cody doing his equivalent of the Very Mysterious Ice Cream bit.

and for people working fun gimmicks under hoods for dark (or Dark) matches.

I'm going to stab you. Offline. With a real knife.


Was at AEW last night, Rampage is going to be all over the place

Danielson and Kingston have a loving wild match, Boston got lucky with so many bangers last night. After the match Kingston is asking for a mic but they won't give it to him and he gets PISSSSSSSED, so much so that it bleeds into an interview with Punk backstage

Dante Martin and Matt Sydal have a disappointing match. I mean, its solid, but was probably expecting more.

Britt vs Abadon is pretty.... not good. Two botched table spots and some tack spots that were interesting but pretty slow. But to be fair, Brit may have injured herself somehow(like a stinger?) (The Mark Henry interview bit right before is as glorious as you can expect with Abadon)

britt has already apparently been working injured her title run and abadon is not a good wrestler so not a surprise their match wasnt good.

no, she's been injured and they've kept the title on her because she's the most over woman on the roster

Does Britt really have a good match outside of that one bloody brawl with Thunder Rosa?

really good workers can put on great matches with her because her basics are solid and her charisma is top tier but it breaks down against women who can't carry the lion's share of the workrate department imo.

I like to compare her to mid 2010s Miz but people like her more and she's probably better at catching people.

Honestly what's more worrying to me than anything is that she apparently keeps getting hurt.

She's been putting on decent matches lately despite working injured. So we haven't seen at her full AEW strength for past couple of months.

I thought her DoN and All Out matches this year were fantastic, the latter really surprised me (especially since it was Statlander's first big singles match after returning IIRC).

I agree. She's an OK worker, but not the best by a mile. Let Tay lose. Give it to Thunder. She's the only face I see who is even close to her heat, but she needs time.

Britt and Kenny should just both lose the titles at Full Gear, they've both been working while injured for a really long time and both could benefit from time off. I don't think it'd be the worst for Britt to drop the title; not every belt run has to be 7+ months / only get dropped at a PPV.

Britt isn't and shouldn't lose the title to anyone but Rosa.

:yeah:

Dr. Britt should certainly only ever lose the belt to Rosa (and probably soon, maybe at the equivalent of “Winter is Coming” this year), but Serena Deeb is swiftly working her way up to “end boss of the women’s division” in my mind and could easily slot in to take the belt off Britt if need be (though Britt would have to pivot to full-face instead of a heel that fans still love).

Just rewatched Deeb/Riho from DoN 2021, and yeah if Deeb can stay healthy she’s a shoe-in for a title reign down the line.

Deeb is 100% the heel the womens division needed. Her run with the belt at some point next year is going to be good stuff.
