Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

The joker is gonna be Nick Gage to capitalize on the hype from Dark Side of the Ring. He's gonna join up with Mox and Eddie Kingston to create the "New MDK" where it stands for "Mox, eDdie, nicK".

Also David Arquette is gonna beat Omega to set up Gage/Arquette 2 for the belt, this is what's known as long term booking.

I'm less expectant of a Speedball battle royale surprise especially since they haven't been using Veda at all since the women's tag tournament.

Maybe someone from Impact is the battle royale surprise? Could be Andrade, of course, but I dunno.

This also assumes there's a surprise entrant. The last tag team battle royale didn't have any surprises, did it?

PAC and Penta have IRL heat and haven’t been on screen together since DON 2020, which is why the trios tournament never took off. Any time you see them in a match, it’s always a composite shot

Didn't this rumor start on Cornette's podcast? Yeah, that's a guy I'm really gonna trust to have the inside scoop on a bunch of wrestlers who want nothing to do with him.

But also, who gives a poo poo? It neither enhances nor detracts from my enjoyment of the product to know if Cody and the Bucks are still pals.

Like, almost all of the references I’ve seen to this have been in the context of “but Meltzer is too much of a coward to report it,” which also: who cares?

I guess the idea is that they all hate eachothers guts (or at least Cody and Kenny or The Bucks) do so the company is going to fail because they're all unprofessional and can't work together.

the only weird thing to me is how completely discrete the border between CodyWorld & The Elite is, like he hasn't interacted with any of them since ... when? so yeah, but these guys have the best show on cable TV in a year and a half of building, and there's enough airtime and side hustles for the entire roster to wet their beaks (between dynamite, internet shows, indie dates, vlogs/podcasts, merch, etc)

it'll be interesting to see how if ever Cody interacts with Omega or Hangman or maybe the Nightmare Bros interact with The Bucks, not that it has to happen, but if eventually it does

I'd put money on Cody screwing over Hangman at some point and reuniting with The Elite.

i'm always a day behind on this stuff because i'm on the west coast so i dont watch live but i just wanted to say i really enjoyed the stagecraft? visual storytelling? of darby having the headlocks/chokeholds sunk and working on miro but then he has to break them because of the injury he suffered falling down the stairs. my kid calls that sort of thing "character development" and the E never, ever had it

Darby did a really good job of selling the shoulder during those submissions, having to change arms, and Excalibur did an awesome job pointing it out and that Darby was changing his grip trying to hold on
