Wouldn't surprise me if they filmed all the matches with different endings just to squash any leaks.

As always, betting odds are betting odds, especially for something that's already been taped that nobody has leaked yet. I don't think any/all of these are necessarily the results, just posting them because some in other threads expressed curiosity. Currently for Mania: Aleister Black -700 Otis -170 Edge -500 Elias and King Corbin -120 both Sami Zayn retains -200 Sasha wins SD women's title +100 Miz and Morrison retain +100 Shayna wins Raw women's title -180 Drew McIntyre wins WWE title -350 Rhea retains NXT women's title -175 Kevin Owens -230 Fiend -500 Undertaker -400

It's really amazing how much they hosed up Devitt, they went to the wall with him out of the gate on the main roster and, you know what? It was working! Then he busted his shoulder because of a misfired barrier bomb and before too long they're painting him pumpkin orange and setting him to wrestle Bray in drag Wish I still had that screenshot of his stare into the middle distance that screams "I left an Armani endorsement behind for this, I was on billboards in Tokyo like three years ago, I think I hosed up bigly" during a backstage interview in the middle of his Corbin feud.

I do sincerely wonder if he made the demand to go down to NXT so that he could quietly slip out the back door when his contract finishes (it's hard to figure out when it ends, I've been googling around - he went to NXT in 2014, he would have signed an extension when he went up to the main roster in 2016, but I can't seem to find anything about a new contract since then, it just disseminates into him marrying the lady from Fox Sports and him returning to NXT) especially now that he could work both a cable TV wrestling product outside of WWE and have a big return run in New Japan. I wonder how annoyed he must be with Hiromu being like probably the #3 star in New Japan behind Naito and Okada. Actually, I imagine he's just incredibly annoyed overall after being so fundamental in the creation of Bullet Club and watching almost everyone else that got attached to it being bigger stars than he is. In his current promotion? AJ is in the sweet zone of perpetual upper-card, main event status. Elsewhere? The Bucks and Kenny and Cody have their own loving promotion. Even the Kiwi young boy he and Fale got into the Inoki dojo has already held the most prestiguous title in wrestling and is a cemented main eventer and is one of the most over heels in wrestling. And here he is, on NXT. Not even doing much of anything of note. I can't remember the last time anyone talked about Finn Balor since that time he did a Pele kick while slipping out of his leather jacket for his heel turn. Poor Fergal.  He apparently mentioned last year he sees about another eight years left in him, I can't imagine he intends on spending most of those in WWE at this point, especially not when Tony and TNT would love to flip open the checkbook for him.

I never really thought about that but yeah, holy gently caress. Devitt really got karmically hosed by signing that WWE contract and watching the Bullet Club absolutely blow up and completely change the business and make like a dozen careers. Its so weird that he's like the 6th most successful member at best.

Devitt, Anderson, and Gallows escaping WWE and hitting NJPW/AEW would be loving insane business. But yeah, it doesn't sound like Anderson and Gallows are going anywhere.

In retrospect it's pretty wild that Devitt was the only BC leader to not hold the IWGP heavyweight title. I know he challenged Tanahashi and Okada and worked the G1 as a junior, but was there ever a plan to move him up to permanent heavyweight before he left?

poo poo, an Apollo 55 reunion would probably move some tickets. Don’t know if Bushiroad would spring for “You’re The Best”, though. And it wouldn’t be quite right without it. But imagine them running Devitt/Ibushi now. Or, wait for it: Real RocknRolla vs. The Aerial Assassin. Mostly I think I miss the guy who reacted to an Anderson/Okada chain of reversals like so:   RAINMAKAAAAAAAAH Never mind his potential AEW matchups. Imagine Devitt/Darby. Devitt/Guevara. Devitt/Omega for the first time since like BOSJ 20 or whenever their last match was. He’s got so many more money matches outside of his current spot than he ever would inside, and while he said he did his art, now he’s doing his money, it’s gotta be real enticing to be able to do both. E: Benne posted:In retrospect it's pretty wild that Devitt was the only BC leader to not hold the IWGP heavyweight title. I know he challenged Tanahashi and Okada and worked the G1 as a junior, but was there ever a plan to move him up to permanent heavyweight before he left? From what I remember that was a big part of him leaving: the junior to heavy shift was even rarer back then than it is now, and dude isn’t especially big (remember this was a time before ZSJ was a socialist beanpole stretching everyone), so he felt like he hit the ceiling and wouldn’t get the shots even as they fed him crumbs like the G1 run and the title matches. Had he stuck around, as the promotion changed, they probably would have said “gently caress it, he’s done everything he can in the juniors and women love him, let’s make him heavyweight and get that easy money”. But I imagine if he ever does pull the trigger on going outside of WWE again, he’d make more money out of New Japan with the return run than he would sticking around.

I wasn't even necessarily thinking of the matchups so much as those obvious stories of OG Bullet Club vs Bullet Club/Elite and the idea of Devitt walking around with a giant chip on his shoulder that all these guys got over on his gimmick and won world titles and made millions and started companies. Like seeing him walk into AEW and tell Cody, Omega, and the Bucks that they owed him everything including the promotion while Cody's basically "I don't know you, you never did a thing for me, I don't owe you anything" is making me giddy to think about.

I'm telling you. Devitt walks into AEW and calls out the Elite saying they owe him for making the Bullet Club, making them, and making AEW possible. Bucks are kinda iffy about it because they know he's being a dick but they WERE in his Bullet Club and they turned on him. Omega is kinda iffy but hostile because he wasn't in Devitt's BC but they have history and unresolved poo poo. Cody is just "I don't know you, you didn't do anything for me, only people who helped me get where I am are my family." Hangman's drunk somewhere. Then Gallows and Anderson attack and the place goes insane.

Devitt/Guevara is a funny thing to consider, when I've felt the latter is kind of a young version of the former right now, or at least has that kind of potential

I can't imagine Devitt staying past his current contract if theres money elsewhere. You know that even if he says he's done his art, this isnt how he wanted to end his prime. Even if he doesn't want to go back to Japan full time he could easily do appearances and get paid well to not do the brutal road schedule WWE expects just to job because Vince thinks he's short.
