Probably demanding to retire Lesnar, and going after Heyman, when he says that he'd already retired. Then they'll have Lesnar win his final match against GUNTHER at SummerSlam, that way he goes out only taking the loss to Oba, since he didn't want to take two losses.
I reckon Brock hasn't retired, and that he shows up at SummerSlam to face GUNTHER as his actual final match. GUNTHER will probably hound Heyman for months that he owes him, and try to goad Brock in to facing him, so he can retire him. They'll likely have Lesnar go over GUNTHER, go out with a win.
Would've 100% been Jade/Bianca at SummerSlam. They had to put the title on Rhea, because SmackDown is lacking big stars to feud with Jade. Charlotte would have been the only real choice. They should have built up Giulia and Jordynne better than they have. I don't think anyone wants to see Tiffany.
I do like the call back to Elimination Chamber, where Cody was distracted by Drew, resulting in Randy winning. Pat being the distraction for Cody to win works, but I still would rather Pat not be involved at all. Just glad they cut their losses, and pivoted. #WrestleMania
So Fatal Influence is 100% turning on Jacy Jayne tonight, right?
One of Kodo Fuyuki’s dying wishes was to wrestle Shinya Hashimoto one last time in a barbed wire deathmatch at Kawasaki Stadium on 5 May 2003. Fuyuki passed before it could happen, so Hashimoto and Kintaro Kanemura carried his ashes into the wire as his wife sobbed at ringside.
Said that myself earlier. Would be in bad taste, but at least it would actually make sense of what we were watching.
It's beyond parody at this point. Listened to the Cultaholic podcast at work earlier, and the big question of "Are Celebrities Ruining Wrestling?". I agree about it being up to the booker, but it's every week now, there seems to be someone new getting thrust into storylines. It's excessive.
It was very bizarre, and that's even prior to them being taken over by TKO. I know he has a big fan in Ari Emanuel, but it's getting a bit ridiculous the more he's thrust in to wrestling stories.
Although he has been gone for a while, I don't think anyone has recovered from that long dreadful stretch.
His NXT run, facing Adam Cole, War Games and The Kings of NXT stuff, at least to me, was pretty decent. Main roster Pat, has been largely ass.
Hopeful the Randy thing results in a faction.
His initial commentary run on the main roster was good, because it brought out a side in Michael Cole that had not been seen in years, and he was something of a breath of fresh air.
They continued to be overly reliant on him, which I feel turned everyone against him.
The thing with Pat McAfee, in WWE, is the overexposure.
He was very much used excessively for a long time. Whether it be Nakamura or Jey Uso, his unnecessary involvement every time in their entrances/segments was too much.
Going to be Eli Knight, because they don't want him and LA Knight to be so close in name. Explains him getting called EK on a couple of occasions last night on NXT.
I still can't believe WWE fumbled this trio. The best option was to have GoD side with Jacob Fatu. The one and only time they didn't make them look silly, was when they showed up in NXT to attack The Street Profits. They looked like a big fucking deal.

Asuka vs. Kairi Sane vs. IYO
Giulia vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Chelsea Green (US)
AJ Lee vs. Becky Lynch (IC)
Nia & Lash/Charlotte & Alexa/Bellas/Bayley & Lyra/Raquel & Roxanne (Tag Ladder)
Jade Cargill vs. Rhea Ripley (WWE)
Stephanie Vaquer vs. Liv Morgan (World)
Apparently EVIL wants to start in NXT to get used to the WWE style. Nice, so what we thinking, The Culling or Chase U?

Got to be Aleister Black, right?
I think if David Finlay had joined WWE, they would have looked better. I'm not interested in them, they don't seem like they could make it on the main roster. If it was a trio of Charlie Dempsey and The Finlay's, I think they would have stood a chance.
Finlay made the right choice joining AEW.
I don't know about Fantastica Mania, but is it Chris Charlton? I know when I watched, he was doing translations, but he was indefinitely suspended a year or two ago, due to anti-AEW comments that TK didn't like. I assume he hasn't returned.
Aye, very fucking good. Just put NXT on, to find that from the 12th minute on and through the entire broadcast, it's just weather shit to do with the storms. Absolutely ridiculous, I understand areas relatively nearby were getting it, but it should not impact areas that are without storms.
Spurs
or if*
Good to see, wish WWE would use him.
I do wonder if #WWE will stick with the 14 match formula for WrestleMania this year, of they'll up it. With the amount of talent now on the main roster, it shouldn't be an issue to have 16, with 8 per night.
I fully expect that IYO will win the Gauntlet next week and go on to face AJ Lee for the title next time she's on RAW, but Becky will get involved and ruin the match, resulting in a triple threat at WrestleMania. Everyone else has a tag team or a built-in feud, IYO would be the odd one out if not.
Mon the Rangers.
I personally would have preferred the triple threat with Drew, Cody & Jacob, but having Randy as part of the mix probably isn't the worst thing, adds more jeopardy to Cody's story, as well as Jacob, both feeling rightly aggrieved by Drew. Orton may take the fall or win his 15th, no in-between.
With that said WWE never gets it right, when it comes surprise reveals, especially "what's in the box". Fans are naturally going to think it's a massive star when you spend weeks hyping it. The same goes for mystery tag partners/opponents for big events. Made worse when there's bigger free agents.
