The King of Old School

I think getting back into the WWE was always the end game for Punk, despite what he said on AEW TV.

Punk finishing his story before Cody is pretty funny thinking about it.

Rock/Roman, Cena/Cody & Rollins/Punk would be my main 3 bouts for Mania.

Next weeks line up looks tremendous

Quote

* AEW TNT Championship #1 Contenders Match: Bryan Danielson vs. Swerve Strickland
* AEW International Championship Match: Rey Fenix vs. Jon Moxley
* AEW Women’s World Championship Match: Saraya vs. Hikaru Shida
* Adam Copeland vs. Luchasaurus
* Jay White vs. Hangman Page
* Chris Jericho vs. Powerhouse Hobbs

Swerve/Danielson. Bit of a shame it's a throw away match for a TNT title shot though.

Don't really like Gargano at all, but back tagging with Ciampa is probably the best way for him to go if he has to be on Raw.

Cody Rhodes though dear me, has there been a week since Wrestlemania where he hasn't interacted with Judgement Day?

Part of me would have like to have seen Edge level Darby with the chair and align with Christian rather than feud with him.

Really hated the lights out and video before Edge's debut, definitely took something away from the initial pop/reaction.

Imagine they just did the "You think you know me" without any of the nonsense beforehand, would have been a pop to rival LA Knight.

Imagine thinking Cody should "finish his story" when you have LA Knight in the building. Nobody is getting close to that reaction for a neck breaker.

Go finish your story with Seth, Cody. This is LA Knights game.

Riddle me this. Absolutely not. 

Why?

Riddle released.

Definitely one for AEW, he's too good not to be on mainstream TV.

Roman is definitely beating Hogan's record isn't he? I think that would be around September 2024 time?

Have Roman beat The Rock with the title on the line at Mania, and give Cody a nice win over Cena.

I reckon we get Roman/Knight at the Saudi show by the looks of things.

Then hopefully Roman/Rock at Mania to headline night 2.

Give Cody Cena or something on night 1 if they don't want him to have Seth's title.

No way is Joe winning the belt next week.

The merger looks like it's going through today, as of tomorrow the WWE is no longer owned by a McMahon.

No real changes up until now, but do we think we'll see some from this point onwards?  

None at all I would wager.

I think he will still be around as a "special attraction" after his daughters 7th birthday and be on a like a Lesnar schedule.

Danielson/Omega at Wembley sounds a great way to bow out for 6 months or so.

Got a sweet gig Cody has.

This is the problem with the brand split, he's either facing the same guys i.e Judgement Day over and over again or strolling out and talking absolute bollocks.

I really can't see the crowd being as hot for Roman/Cody 2 as they were for the first one.

Cody/Seth seems a better idea for Mania to me with there backstory of feuding last year.

Looking forward to seeing Santana as a singles. Definitely has a bit about him, could see him being a huge babyface this time next year.

LA Knight has to win the Rumble and face Roman at Mania.

Who on earth wants to see Reigns/Cody again?

I love Samoa Joe.

He loses every high profile match he is in though so it's very hard to get invested in the MJF feud.

What I don't understand with the Jey Uso storyline is that he quit WWE a few weeks ago, and had his profile moved to the alumni section.

Why are Smackdown getting someone in trade for him?!

Punk winning the 2024 Rumble 10 years after his last appearance with the company seems too good to pass up on.

Make it happen, H! 

If this isn't a work then what's the point.

What’s the ceiling with Chad Gable? Is it too late to go full Kurt Angle with him? He’s a fantastic little worker.

I hope he can get something going as i think he is fantastic, especially in this current character.

Unfortunately I think he has been booked as a loser for too long for the fans to genuinely care about him.

Just call him "E" and be done with it

I would say the Bucks and the Gunns will get moved to the Omega 6 man match to make it a 10 man if FTR can't defend the belts.

I hope one of the mystery partners is Daniel Garcia. Always thought he would be a perfect fit for the BCC anyway before the teases with Danielson. Santana and Ortiz would be good too but isn't there something about how they are no longer mates in real life now?

Not having Orange Cassidy defend the INTERNATIONAL Championship on the biggest international show they will ever have is an incredible own goal.

"Zero Hour" starts at 5pm, main show starts at 6pm. 

Going to guess that altogether we're looking at around 5 to 6 hours of wrestling.

The crowd will be fucked by the time MJF/Cole comes around.
