That first one still stinks. You can see how her legs are still dragging below her like she doesn't have the ability to flatten out at all once she jumps. The angle almost helps it, but not really.

Speculation is currently Kay Lee Ray (as the NXT NA division doesn't need her, plus its very likely she drops the UK Women's title to Meiko) on the UK side of things, and Io Shirai on the NA side, at least among the women. Both RAW and Smackdown desperately need more women, since Rhea has been almost a complete flop on the main roster, and Bianca has cleaned out the entire Smackdown Women's Division already.

As for men, the only people I could see being called up is either Kross or Balor.

Rhea might be kind of a flop but maybe thats because she's been given less time than Reginald the no socks accoutrement to the ladies division.

Apparently she's always sucked at the splash, maybe she shouldn't do it. Turn it into a falling elbow or something jeez.

He talked about it on a podcast once. If I remember right, he and Jim Neidhart were trying to stand out and the person making their gear suggested hot pink, Vince saw it and loved it and that was that.

You just know that if Io ends up on RAW she's going to end up putting Charlotte over so WWE can try and spin her as the best in the world instead of Io.

He's involved with Joel Greenberg who's the tax collector for Seminole County. Matt inappropriately received state money from Greenberg who was funneling cash to all of his friends as tax collector. Oh and at the same time Greenberg was the in-between for Matt Gaetz and underage prostitutes. All of that poo poo got revealed after Greenberg started being investigated because he tried to accuse his opponent for tax collector of being a pedophile school teacher.

Edit: clarified that it's Greenberg who was actually involved in trafficking. Matt was just defrauding the government with someone involved in trafficking.

That feels really, really likely.

Also I don't think they're calling up Balor. Roderick Strong maybe.

Karrion Kross reign of terror being aborted to job him out on main event would be hilarious.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



We gotta remember that current NXT storylines play little to no part in the decision to call someone up, best exemplified when Gargano and Ciampa got called up as DIY in the middle of their story then immediately Ciampa got injured and the call-up canceled.

I think the best example is having someone finish a match and win the belt with their arm fallen off only to vacate because their arm fell off so Vince could have Keith Lee THAT WEEK with no exceptions. Everyone involved in that looked terrible.

And then Keith Lee got put in unflattering gear with poo poo music, used a handful of times then disappeared because of covid/being large/vince’s dementia/etc.

They used to pull this poo poo with OVW callups too, and it drove Cornette nuts.

I know Cornette is a shitbutt dildoman but it's a valid complaint.

So the flipcause site they're using to sell tickets currently has this lovely duo on the poster as well. The event's in a bowling alley so who knows if anyone's wrestling.



But interestingly, it also collects "recent activity" aka people who bought tickets.



That's the "District Senior Executive Aide for Rep. Anthony Sabatini" from her linkedin, and Sabatini is one of Joel Greenberg/Matt Morgan's pals.

There's a few other business owners and lawyers and such on the activity page but it's very much a Q scam.

WWE being WWE, expected OVW to be self sufficient on top of a feeder for WWF. Cornette was bitching about sold shows he already paid out on fliers and radio spots so its kind of a wash.

For those blessed enough to not be watching RAW because you don't hate yourselves enough, they just announced a new match for Hell in a Cell:

Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair for the RAW Women's Championship. Note that this match came about after Asuka beat Charlotte last week, but then Charlotte won via rollup this week so...she gets a title match.

I got a taste for blown saves
For anyone who didn't watch (which is most people I think): Rhea did a backstage segment where she told Charlotte nobody likes her because she doesn't give anyone any respect

She proceeded to have a match against Nikki Cross where she promised to win in two minutes or she loses. She spent the first minute mocking Nikki and doing the checking your watch thing. She spent the second minute beating the poo poo out of Nikki, but forgot about the time limit and so "lost" when two minutes expired while she was busy kicking Nikki's teeth in

Nikki proceeded to dance around the outside of the ring and do the nyah nyah thing where you put your thumb against your nose and wiggle your fingers while Charlotte came out and mocked Rhea and the announce team buried her for losing

Bobby Lashley complains about how Drew McIntyre won't leave him alone no matter how many times he loses, Drew says he needs the belt back. Kofi Kingston says he won last week, he deserves the shot, and Drew should go to the back of the line. Adam Pearce announces a #1 contendership match right now
Drew and Kofi fight to a double DQ when Lashley attacks Drew and MVP attacks Kofi. Drew and Kofi fight them off postmatch
Nikki Cross interrupts a conversation between Charlotte and Rhea Ripley and says she could beat either of them. Charlotte says Ripley should have two minutes to beat Nikki, Ripley agrees
Nikki wins a 2-minute Beat the Clock challenge over Ripley when Rhea can't beat Nikki before the time limit ends. Charlotte laughs
Pearce says Drew/Kofi rematch next week. Pearce tells Lashley if him or MVP interfere or are even ringside again, he's suspended 90 days without pay
Charlotte defeats Asuka. Again
Cedric Alexander spends five minutes saying it's okay that he got kicked out of Hurt Business because he's still in his prime with years ahead of him and doesn't need to retire
Cedric defeats Shelton after an eyepoke
Riddle defeats Xavier Woods with an RKO
Jaxson Ryker defeats AJ Styles after Elias interferes. Postmatch Omos chases them both, Elias trips up the ramp and gets tackled nearly through the stage
Sheamus defeats Humberto Carrillo. Postmatch Sheamus kicks his rear end some more, but Ricochet makes the save
Natalya and Tamina retain the women's tag titles over Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax after attempted distraction from Reginald backfires, Shayna tells him to leave, and fire pyro goes off as he goes up the ramp blinding him, letting Natalya roll up Shayna. Shayna checks up on Reginald postmatch, then yells at him and challenges him to a match

It's utterly remarkable how WWE has made both Rhea and Charlotte utterly unlikable assholes in totally different (but also similar in a way) fashion!
