Best way to give a young up and comer some rub is to pair them with a megastar so maybe they have big things planned for bear country

Cody Rhodes has signed with WWE, multiple WWE sources have confirmed. Rhodes inked his deal about 10-14 days ago.

The current plan is to have Rhodes debut Wrestlemania weekend with the early word among those in the company being that Rhodes will be on the Raw brand.

If he does face Seth, one of three things is almost certainly going to happen:

1. Cody comes in as a face and in his debut match goes over Seth Rollins, a guy who crowds are currently super behind and who has been kind of dicked around in the booking for several months now
2. After refusing to turn heel in AEW for months, Cody debuts as a heel in WWE
3. Cody loses in his first match

Excited to see where it goes

I'm just receiving word that WWE's biggest suppliers of silver facepaint and star-shaped design templates have both informed their employees that layoffs won't be necessary after all, they just got a huge set of orders in from Vince personally :unsmith:

Gonna stick this here just in case.

Joey Janela is apparently done with AEW when his contract expires early May.

https://youtu.be/mnbm0sTUBzk (34:38 he starts talking about AEW contract). Seems to have some kind of heat with Christopher Daniels for being "unsafe". I really get the impression he doesn't want to leave.

Gresham won the PROGRESS title from Cara Noir. This is a very strange situation.

Chris James 2
Aug 9, 2012


Can't say I'm unhappy to see a title vs title match end with a result more definitive than a draw, and this was a much more likely result than ROH champ Cara Noir. Definitely don't know where it goes from here though; obviously ROH is owned by AEW and Gresham's been backstage there recently, but also there's been no change in WWE's partnership with PROGRESS

They've cut all of Gresham's matches from the PROGRESS chapters uploaded to Peacock I think, it's just weird because like.. are they just not gonna have those title matches he has on there now either?

Venomous

I mean, okay then

tbh this is the first I've heard of anything relating to Progress since #SpeakingOut happened, so good on Gresham I guess

I guess there are two possibilities from here on out:

  • Gresham wins at Supercard Of Honor, meaning he's only a transitional Progress champion, so he'll be beaten in a month or so by whoever else is big in Progress rn I guess
  • Bandido wins at Supercard of Honor, meaning Gresham will have a relatively long Progress title run, eventually leading to him joining the Fed

idk, maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see Gresham joining the Fed

Could be an incredibly big brained play to get people to move over to Progress on demand to watch the title get defended

I'm guessing TK wants to move all the ROH belts to whoever he has under contract as soon as he can, but we don't know where Gresham's going to land yet.

It's also possible that WWE just won't care. AEW & WWE both have simultaneous working relationships with Impact. There was an episode of Impact where Gresham had an ROH title defense while commentary was putting over Mickie James appearing in the Royal Rumble and mentioning Christian being the previous Impact champion. Kind of gave me Awesome vs Taz in ECW vibes.

There's no working relationship with Impact and WWE, they just wanted Mickie James cause they realized too late they don't have enough women on the main roster to fill a Royal Rumble and for some reason outright refuse to use anyone from NXT

Yeah, the usual Twitter WWE stans were jizzing all over themselves about how WWE had opened the forbidden door, and outside of Mickie's appearance in the Rumble, precisely jack poo poo else has come of it

Dragunov showed up a few weeks ago with the NXT UK title so there’s still a slight relationship there. A lot less NXT talent than they’re used to be though
