Goddamn, I want to see Julius Creed and Claudio have an amazing feats of strength contest

He was in the house here in Pittsburgh when Nakamura faced Seth, he might be down with doing it.

So I guess Tegen Nox's gimmick now is "living Rainbow Brite doll"

Man's being demonized for not being gaslit into forgetting how many times the Bloodline did him dirty.

Nana seems like a genuinely good dude and he's clearly having the time of his life out there and who doesn't want to root for someone like that.

Every week it is more and more obvious that Brody has outgrown the HOB and should be smashing fools and winning belts. He's got a unique look and the scary monster aura of his namesake, I can easily see him tearing through a crowd terrifying people like Bruiser Brody. As far as Swerve, dude just Gets It. Man has so much swag he got the babyface reaction in a feud where he broke into another man's house and implicitly threatened an infant. The in ring stuff was always excellent, but all the pieces have really come together for him and taken him to the next level.

Also it's interesting to see the AAA mega title and their cruiserweight title on Rampage and Collision this week, considering AEW is now best bros with CMLL. One would think either AEW is under the impression CMLL doesn't watch US TV, or they were just schmoozing them to get Mistico for a few dates. Either one is just as likely to be correct.

People still aren't accustomed to the ebbs and flows of two national companies after, what has it been now, 4 years and change that AEW has been around. So many folks acting like AEW is going to curl up and die because WWE got hot again. Their shows are still good, tickets seem to be selling decently (admittedly not as good as they were), and the sun still comes up in the morning. They are still almost certainly getting a big bump on their next TV deal, and the company just reported big profits for the year.

Claudio and Brody King out here beating the piss out of each other

His quads look like they could explode at any moment too. Clearly he wasn't forgetting to take his vitamins while he was away. LA Knight getting that Attitude Era level pop making the save was good shit, pal

Gagging at the thought of KO having to do the honors for Logan Paul

WCCW had better crowds at the end, but it was a depressing mix of no-names and past their prime guys. At least vegetative state AWA still had Larry Z kicking around until the end.

Honestly that's all they ever saw it as. WWE Network exists so they didn't have to split the PPV profits with cable companies anymore, and their commitment to classic content was lackadaisical at best,

holy shit Christian, I fully apologize for ever doubting brother @C.S.

man those jabronis they got to be security for the Edge/Christian segment looked like they legit got four random people out of the crowd.

Nice to see Dante Martin back after he Sid'd himself going through a table.

Punk saying everyone in the back welcomed him with open arms was probably the biggest whopper in a promo full of them. Him feuding with Seth will be interesting. Clearly they are playing as Seth upset this hypocrite is back in his company, but at some point it's going to make him the face since he's 100% correct in what he's saying. I get that they (rightly) assumed Punk would be so over there's no way to have him be a heel, but it's kind of weird how it's the guy who remembers history like it was that's the bad guy here.

I would venture the "new direction" is AEW wants Jimmy Jacobs and not him.

The SS match was a banger, but why does Miz get another shot? It was a straightforward W for GOONTA it's not like there was some kind of shenanigans involved.

Also lol at Xavier Woods sporting his outside-of-WWE name on his Preds jersey against the Creeds no less.

Let's not gloss over the biggest news from Raw, Indus Sher and Veer's fabulous hair are back baby!

IIRC Roman/Rock was going to be the endgame of the Bloodline angle at the start and for various reasons it never happened.

It was both, imo. Hunter didn't have to say anything other than "you'll see her soon" but he had to make a comment that not only took a jab at the competition but also backhandedly insulted her in the process. My guess he was still riding the high of his big move and couldn't pass up the chance for another dig.

You figure Hunter was able to mend fences with Bruno after everything that went down, so there's no limit what the man can do.

Randy having works with Jey because it was the Usos that put him out is one of those things I have to get used to in post-Vince WWE as it still surprises me when continuity happens.
