Wait is Roxanne really going up this week? Why not put the belt on Davenport who might be the only credible female on the roster after the call ups? (I love Jacy Jayne but less than 50/50 booking to Gigi and then the booking with Hail has done her no favors). Is Giulia more likely to work heel or face? English mic skills aside (I have no clue) she looks like the most marketable Japanese female star to come across the sea.

If this is true...I would have much rather seen them keep Roxanne down in NXT with the title, and continue her "bad girl" gimmick down there (i.e. tearing through her competition, and building her character), than have her make the jump up to the main roster and get buried under all of the established women on either/both RAW and/or Smackdown.

I agree with you that Roxanne is going to get buried beneath the established and other new talent on the main roster. Not to mention they are debuting a secondary women's singles belt in NXT. Guessing Bayley may not have a super long reign but Rhea is going nowhere and there is just too much established "who's next" talent for the belt Bayley has right now and Lyra has no shot at a belt soon either.

Love that kayfabe there were like twenty additional members of the Bloodline just chilling in a suite somewhere watching their supposed Head of the Table get his ass kicked, one former member spearing his brother off of a ramp, and their supposed enforcer getting thrown through a table by an out of shape John Cena, and not a single one of them felt moved enough to go help out during a bloodline rules match.

Also we gonna get a Rikishi appearance with Jacob’s debut?

But AEW is airing footage from backstage at All In on Wednesday!
Bucks vs. CM Punk gonna be sick...
if Tony ever gets sick of their stuff and they finally have a run in WWE.

I enjoy a fair amount of AEW's in ring product, and they have a lot of stars I really like too. But man every time Tony gets given a golden opportunity to make lemonade and print money when real life goes off script he somehow just adds a second serving of lemons.

If all the glitches and obvious hints to Uncle Howdy were instead just hinting towards Matt Hardy, I take back every good thing I ever said about the HHH Era. But I’m guessing they’re just forming a huge ass Wyatt 6 family tribute stable with all the people he worked with who are still alive?
Man, I want this to work out so badly. So so so badly.

That was fun. Hernandez said I’m impressive for the amount of time I have in the game. My biggest weakness being I don’t buy into myself and lose a little confidence when something doesn’t go right. I also got to chop (and get chopped) by him a bunch. Lol
