Also apparently Angel Garza is the 24 /7 Champion now? I looked up to see when that happened and supposedly it was at a TikTok New Year's Eve Party? :wtc:

I actually expected much more of that when the title first got announced before it became the conga-line chase roll-up win belt.

WWE could probably do better with The Hand than The Defenders and season 2 of Daredevil did. For a global crime syndicate, The Hand seemed to have less henchman than Retribution.

At least with the Hand it will make sense on how Bray returns, since they're all about resurrections.

Fiend - Joker
Alexa - Harley Quinn
Rambling Rabbit - Elektra

The thing is, goddamn near anyone who makes it to the WWE's main roster COULD have worked. It's extremely rare that someone makes it to the main roster without having some sufficient level of quality to be a wrestling star. Adam Rose could have worked. Bo Dallas could have worked. If they'd had No Way Jose laugh and party and then beat someone to death with his bare hands every week, he could've worked too.

I hope when Apollo turns heel on Big E its him doing his "just happy to be here" smile while mercilessly wailing on Big E with a chair

TJP saying the riots are deserved because the elections were rigged makes me regret ever saying dolph ziggler's twitter game is as bad as his. Dolph didn't deserve that.

The cruiserweight title was cursed the second they made him the first champ

Lol, WWE had a chance to take the title off an accused abuser and put it on their hottest new talent in the division and loving whiffed it.

I thought he wasnt the cruiserweight champ tho. Wait, which belt isn't in lineage with TJP? Cause I'll call that one the real title.

On the other hand, do you think they'll survive being moved up to the main roster? Why would they want to go to Raw or SmackDown, where an out of touch, insane old man is likely to job them out to loving Baron Corbin and then blame them for not catching on.

Are there any actual women's tag teams left in the whole company?

Actually almost all women are paired off so they can do women's title and women's tag title storylines at the same time. The ratio amount of double champions in that young title's lifespan is absolutely insane, the writers just love being able to kill two birds with one stone only having to write one women's title program.

Even peyton without billie is somehow still in the tag division. As for NXT not many women teams overall but to be perfectly fair, makeshift tag teams mingling with a handful of established ones has been the tourney's gimmick every year. Randomly pairing off women isnt much different than what almost every former winning team did.

The last Rumble I remember is the one Nakamura won and I was genuinely excited because like an idiot I thought that meant WWE would finally have a Japanese World Champion.

Unpopular opinion, I unironically liked the Brock gauntlet last year. I wasn't in "OMG X GOT BURIED (okay maybe a tiny bit for Morrison since he JUST got signed)" mode and was just enjoying the raid boss. 2nd half of that rumble was back to "7 guys snuggling in corners" mode if you prefer that.

If you’ve ever wondered what the three faces of Foley thing would be like if it were ten times stupider and performed by a much worse wrestler with dogshit creative surrounding it, well that’s the Bray/Fiend/Mr Rogers gimmick.

So Bray is getting 3 rumble spots?

HIM is a great creepy villain and Bray should imitate him instead of whatever the Fiend is. Not entirely sure about the legitimacy of lobster claws in non-DQ matches tho...

I cant quite gauge any weapon. Remember HitC2019 when The Fiend used a giant hammer and it was fine but when Seth went to use a little hammer the ref was like "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

I wonder if Adam Pearce is going to be entered in the Rumble match since he was denied his title opportunity.

He's not medically cleared to compete. The match with him and Roman being called off wasn't a planned swerve.

Had a feeling Elayna signed after suddenly vanishing from the Dark tapings, but still a bummer. She's a good pickup for that women's division, ya know, if they can find some time to get her in that already stacked division.

A bunch of women shoulda been called up to main roster after the 10th time they had to feud the women's champ with tag champs because 95% of the division is jobbers. I can't blame any of the women for signing with NXT tho, being in AEW's women's division feels like career suicide until AEW starts caring about it.

This whole thing with Undertaker calling new wrestlers' locker room soft cause they play video games backstage and Woods saying they'd rather be playing games in the locker room than doing drugs reminds me of the time Disco Inferno tried to defend old wrestling locker rooms. I dont remember precisely what he said the Steiner Brothers did to him but I think it was some weird sexual stuff and Disco defended it by going "That was just them showing that they liked me! Nobody ever picked on anyone they didn't like, that's how you knew you were one of the boys." Yeah I think I'll take the locker room where to become one of the boys you just gotta play in a Mortal Kombat tournament.
