Not likely according to this interview -Â https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF56ESmomBA If you haven't got time to listen ; he's OK but the neck is still nowhere near "ring ready" and at 38 he's saying it's within the next year if it's going to happen at all, so he might be done.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 20 Paid Members Share Posted August 20 Starting to have confidence that WWE actually know what they're doing with this guy. This is stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted August 20 Paid Members Share Posted August 20 It’s actually one of the few acts where teasing animosity should mean something, because they’ve put the work in and been such a unified front for so long, but no thanks. I just don’t want to see it. It’s like turning Rey Mysterio heel. Just no. The New Day do not turn on each other. Ever. The only acceptable conclusion is that the whole thing is an elaborate ruse that somehow results in Karrion Kross losing a Loser Leaves Town match. He fucks off, Big E returns, everyone hugs, and they fly in the remaining cast of Saved by the Bell to sing, “Friends Forever.” Other quick thoughts… Pete Dunne vs. Sheamus was brilliant. Best Pete Dunne has looked on the main roster. Amazing finish. A real, “fucking have it!” moment. Another solid 6.5 promo from CM Punk. He’s a constant disappointment in these segments. I swear you can almost feel the frustration from Drew at this point, always having to come out and get this stuff over the line. It’s funny, because watching the last two weeks you can tell everyone’s got a sulk on about how their Summerslam match was received, and yet they still managed to once again undermine the whole thing announcing those stipulations. “I hate you, I want to murder you, this isn’t about monologues or bracelets anymore, so we’re going to have a strap match…WITH GAME SHOW RULES!” Urgh. Nothing says blood feud like competing to touch four turnbuckles. So rubbish. Like Ronnie Pickering challenging you to a 100 meter race. It’s been nearly a year! Have a proper fucking fight! Amazing reaction to the Wyatt Six. Such a smart decision making them babyfaces. Everything involving The Judgment Day continues to be great. Dirty Dom rules. Rhea and Damien are fantastic. I love all of this. Bron Breakker continued to impress. He’s got future World Champion written all over him. Just when you think there will never be a name as bad as, “New Catch Republic,” here comes, “The Pure Fusion Collective.” Utter shit. Cole and Pat couldn’t have been more obvious taking the piss every time they had to say it. Jey Uso and Sami Zayn slowly moving into each other’s orbits when the Original Tribal Chief suddenly needs back up on Friday Nights. I cannot fucking wait. This is the business, when you can see three steps ahead and your dick nearly falls off having to wait for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUM Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 The worst thing about The New Day split is my new pet hate. People making out like they’ve found little easter eggs in Triple H booking when it is right in your face.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woods has always had a high online following through his streaming, so it's probably a bit odd that he's not had any sort of singles run in WWE; outside of King of the Ring if you want to count that. I'm open to seeing what that might look like. 1 hour ago, Supremo said: Pete Dunne vs. Sheamus was brilliant. Best Pete Dunne has looked on the main roster. Amazing finish. A real, “fucking have it!” moment. I totally forgot to mention this, but I totally agree. It's been spoken about plenty, but Sheamus's late career resurgence has been nothing nothing short of remarkable. There was a time when I absolutely dreaded seeing the guy, but he's one of the most enjoyable wrestlers to watch in any company for me. I really hope we get another match with Gunther in the near future, now he's world champion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted August 20 Paid Members Share Posted August 20 (edited) @FUM I think the WWE TwitteX account actually alluded to it as well along the lines of "Woods doesn't look happy" so its all these fans finding "Easter Eggs" from the actual company spelling it out which is actually funnier. Edited August 20 by I Bent My Wookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarlettChad Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 The Punk/Drew feud is kinda done for me. It was hot for months, we've had the match, it was crap, and now they're feuding over a braclett. Just do the cell at Bad Blood and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I feel like they’ve seen how much #engagement the bracelet has gotten them for good or bad and gone full WWE on it and completely turned an ingredient in to the whole recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Cole says it on commentary as soon as the tag happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I somehow didn't twig that and it makes Internet detectives even stupider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted August 20 Paid Members Share Posted August 20 I assume a lot of the people Tweeting about this stuff don't hear the commentary because they consume their wrestling entirely through 30 second clips on Twitter and TikTok.

Mr_Danger Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 If you don’t spend more time posting about Raw than you do watching Raw then you’re doing too much Raw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
