Jericho and Guevara Vs SCU for the tag titles Moxley promo PAC Vs Hangman rubber match That's what's official. Presumably we'll get follow up promos from MJF and Cody after the Full Gear angle. I'd also like to see Dustin trying to get some revenge on Hager.

Rusev would literally be so awesome anywhere else. I'd love to see him in a G1.

In January or February, he could conceivably debut as the difference maker for The Elite in their feud with Inner Circle. That's still got plenty of juice so there's really no need to rush him in until that starts to lose a little steam.

Every Wrestlemania should end with a montage set to Jupiter. All of Planets bangs.

They were randomly heels just as Alexa and Nikki were randomly faces

They also booked Cena like an afterthought a lot of the times during the last runs that he had, in a way you'd almost think was designed to show that he wasn't that special.

Have you told us your opinion on PAC yet?

Sempervive from the Observer was there last night apparently and said the same thing about the crowd being hot throughout

I doubt they're going to do this but I kinda hope they align MJF and Tully so you can have a reason for the friendship/turn and have a wider story about Tully getting Cody's old friends against him. I also think that, to get around the no title matches stip, they should consider introducing a secondary title and letting Cody run with it in the way that Nakamura got the Intercontinental Title over in New Japan a few years back.

Well yes but it's not like they were obliged to do this story

Can't be the only person who would've just preferred a match between these two instead of the torture porn

It's a nice get around for the stip because Cody lost without actually giving up

Has the crowd actually been shitty or is it just Twitter people looking for something to complain about?

Spears should be a pin eater for a larger Tully stable. That's about it.

Honestly, they need to either cut bait on Ross or just save him for big title/Cody matches if he can't get with the programme

If The Revival actually do jump when their contracts expire, they'd make such a good faction with Page and Tully.

Should've kept Taz at least

Don't know the number but Meltzer said it ended up selling well

I don't know who any of the sites are outside of the Observer and a handful of others really. Usually the shittier newz sites wouldn't post something as detailed as this I'd have thought.

What an idiot

You can run a Jericho rematch, you can do PAC, I think Hangman is going to turn soon (maybe he can go with Tully) and MJF is obviously going to turn down the line as well. Babyface vs babyface with Omega or Moxley can work as well. There are definitely feuds to be had. But ultimately, I think if Cody wins the belt now, it'll go back to Jericho in like January.

Realistically, anyone who thought there was a boom period coming in October 2019 was very naive. WWE has dominated the landscape for twenty years and have been running off audiences steadily while reinforcing their vision of wrestling as the only one in the eyes of most people. They have such institutional rot that it would take them years to turn around fan perceptions about them even if they started producing amazing shows consistently. AEW is trying to carve out a niche from nothing in that monopolised environment. They haven't been a runaway success like WCW 1997 or whatever but they're going steady, producing good shows and gradually getting new people over with the fans. Yeah there's room for improvement but I think they're doing well in a tough environment and the changes they need to make are minor enough that it's conceivable that they can find that ideal formula for weekly TV. They need patience for a long slog.

It's amazing how much Reigns feels diminished as a star since his comeback, which really should've been the thing to catapult him to the level they'd originally wanted him to be. Guy is a good worker but he's been stuck with Drew, Elias, Shane and Rowan since he came back and now he's dropping falls to Corbin with Ziggler and Roode as seconds. He's stuck deep in the midcard vortex when he could've been feuding with Bryan and having great matches.

Question for AEW is whether the PPV will boost the TV numbers for next week and what the next slate of marquee feuds are. Question for NXT is whether the boost from the main roster stuff is sustainable or if the numbers die off again post-Survivor Series.

Does the NXT crowd accept anyone as heels though?
