British Strong Style and TUE are obvious. I'd say add a 4th or 5th man to each crew and do old-school, but if they do the same as last year, I guess War Raiders and... Lars maybe?

If they are still beefing at the time, which they will be, Undisputed Era with Ciampa vs British Strong Style with Gargano would rule. Maybe throw Ricochet and Dream (or whomever Ricochet is working with at the time) in for some razzle dazzle

I'm so mad about this, because I try not to fly down to LA more than once a year and we're already going to Universal for Halloween but Ricochet might do a half-gainer onto Aleister Black off a cage and then they might kiss.

I hope they decide the guys/gals can use both rings in other matches, because not letting, say, Ricochet do wacky poo poo with that set-up is silly.

War Games was awesome and I'm not even mad they didn't put a top on the cage. It's a thing I love about the match, but it didn't ruin anything. Finally seeing one in person ruled.

Also, anyone else thinking Gargano has full-on snapped and will cost Aleister the title against Ciampa? Either because he's gone full-evil or because he wants to make sure Ciampa has the belt so he can beat him for it?

Keith Lee will probably be soon after Takeover Brooklyn.

Io depends on how far she makes it into the MYC. Everyone else is anyone's guess.

All the girls will be in the MYC.

Keith Lee apparently has to be re-trained/taught to adapt to WWE. I don't think that's unfair or an outrage a lot of his stuff is very indie.

There's an NXT taping on Wednesday. If there was going to be an immediate debut it would be Deonna as she knows the drill. Done a bunch of NXT enhancement matches over the years.

100% serious question, how do people who argue HHH is/will be as bad as Vince when the time comes explain NXT (and 205, though that's been a little worse recently)?

NXT is allowed to be a loss leader as it serves a purpose other than just making money. It also only has to be 45 minutes (+ads). Raw and SD do not have either of those luxuries and inherently have to play to a different audience and dilute the content further, regardless of who is in charge.

I do think HHH will be better than Vince, but it won't be a night-and-day change and it won't mean Raw will be anything like NXT. They will always be different shows with different requirements and intentions.

I didn't mean to suggest HHH will make Raw like NXT. All I mean is that he has demonstrably shown a different attitude than Vince about... well, a lot of things and while he is far from perfect, I think the consistency of NXT has shown that a HHH-run ship, even on the main roster would be better than the whims of a possibly senile man who was bonkers as poo poo to begin with.

HHH is, if nothing else, way less crazy than Vince, so maybe people will not be banned from using simple words like belt and hospital and bruise, which itself will go a long way to making the product less hostile to watch
