honestly Jade's storylines in AEW were worse and less consistent than the average WWE storyline so i don't think she has much to lose by going. she had baddies and mark sterling and then red velvet became a baddie and then red velvet wasn't a baddie and she had stokely hathaway instead, and then kiera hogan disappeared? and then bow wow sent her a video. and then she had mark sterling again. and then leila grey was a baddie for a while, until she also disappeared? idk.

They didn't come up with that they just shifted his all caps from one name to another.

Total fuckin' silence.
Most of their renames suck but I actually came to like Daniel Bryan. Might help that I wasn't familiar with his work beforehand.

The women's renames also seem to be less offensive on the whole, give or take a DOUDROP or two.

She needed the over changing menagerie of spinning plates: the streak, the belt, the lawyer manager, the baddies, the baddie drama, the non-lawyer manager, C-list celeb feuds, all of it to hide the fact that she was a lovely wrestler.

Now, WWE is much better at the spinning plates distraction because they have to cover for a lot more lovely wrestlers than AEW does, BUT WWE is also very lazy when it comes to people they don't care about and they have a difficult time staying focused on people they do care about, so... who knows.

As for gimmicks I would guess it's either a bland, great athlete gimmick where she mimes playing basketball like she did sometimes in AEW but like she does it all the time, or they make give her a wine-throwing Real Housewives gimmick because her husband is a famous sports guy.

Which, actually, a Real Housewives gimmick is not that bad of an idea. She can have a group of minions like Chelsea Green bragging about her indy wrestler husband and maybe some third lady.

initially he was called Gunther Hitler until someone pointed out Hitler was a famous Nazi name and they were like "woah, what? we didn't know that, our bad." And they dropped the name and started working on Dom's Wrestlemania video package.

on one hand, he did explicitly say when he took back the company that he was only staying in charge long enough to organize and execute the sale of the company

on the other hand, he's a loving carny piece of poo poo so i'll believe it when it actually happens

turn it all around

The blurbs in that article don't really tell me the whole story so for simplicity's sake, selling his shares != exiting the company, right? He could still stay on in whatever his dumb role running WWE is without his shares?

It sounds like this is also partly TKO covering themselves if they need to cut him quickly due to all of the poo poo he has going on legally as well?

jade is going to do very well in wwe - her charisma and look will be enough to vault her over the trash they'll write for her to say

although I thought athena should have gotten her push in aew because I'm a huge athena mark I hope she's successful in wwe too because they're both great

I was under the impression Vince wanted the TV deals done before selling. He succeeded for Smackdown at least but Vince gonna Vince.

As for Raw and NXT? I see Raw going to Tuesday and NXT to Thursday. Impact likely isn't big enough to worry about. Obviously the NFL will be a issue but they'll be on Amazon minus 4 games (Season Opener & US Thanksgiving). It's also the developmental brand.

I very much enjoyed Shelton Benjamin's recent work.

Not him being on TV, coz I don't watch WWE and I don't think they used him much. But more him getting to goof around and play video games and muck about with his friends on UUDD. Friends who clearly like him and enjoy his company.

He was also loving awesome back in the day with WGTT, but that goes without saying.

Even if you discount the lawsuit made against him, the guy is clearly a bad person. He has caused a lot of people pain and that is just the stuff we know publicly. I hope he gets well for the sake of his children.

My favorite Riddle memory is when Seth called him a bitch-rear end loser whose family left him, then he pinned him in the middle of the ring, proving that he is, in fact, a bitch-rear end loser whose family left him.
