Using Punk's words and bars of the "Hollywood Rock" theme make the first minute fantastic ; .... although, only really the first minute. I've listened to enough Imagine Dragons in my lifetime already. Edited February 12 by air_raid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the last time they did that? ... was the question. 1 hour ago, MVP RULZ said: Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch vs Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans ..... I believe is the answer. As long as we ignore the word "huge" and concentrate on that it was a tag, and that it was the main event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRooster Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 12 hours ago, Hannibal Scorch said: We’ve only got her Rumble appearance so far, but she looked no better, and Bayley was audibly helping her get into position or ready for spots. Considering Trips threw her AEW training under the bus, it doesn’t look like her 5 months at the PE has helped that much. I don't know if we were watching the same match, but I thought she looked great in that match. It's obviously not the kind of setting in which you can judge how she'd wrestle a singles match, but I thought she was really impressive. She always has been, to be fair, given her level of inexperience. But during the Rumble, I don't think your average fan would have had any idea that she's been wrestling for as little time as she has. I don't think Triple H threw her AEW training under the bus - he provided a fair assessment of where she was at; if anything, his comments are a compliment to how she was booked in AEW; she rarely looked out-of-place, given her level of experience.

Plus let's be honest, she was never going to look that bad when Maxxine Dupri was also in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main event was John Cena vs Triple H vs Edge. Unless we're just naming tag matches that happened on PPV. If we count the "God" match as a tag, which I'm guessing was the joke. 2 minutes ago, SaitoRyo said: There's been a few more since: Usos Vs. Reigns & Sikoa (MITB 23) Arrows. That's the real quiz answer. Imagine Reigns having so few matches and forgetting two of his most recent ones?? Go Cody. Although, I do take issue with any "night 1 of Mania" mains being called main events. It was the match before intermission. What was the main event of Mania 39? It was Reigns vs Cody. The event has two days but in my head, there's only one main event of "WrestleMania" and it's the last match.

Paid Members FLips Posted February 12 Paid Members Share Posted February 12 Backlash 2001 had Austin and HHH vs Kane and Undertaker with all the titles on the line. I remember thinking that was decent at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was she looked no better, or worse than when she left AEW. They didn’t put her straight on TV, and she reported straight to the PC. They wouldn’t have done that if they thought she was ready. The art is a great place to debut, but she’s not been seen properly since. Why?

Main event of night 1 is the main event that night, and main event of night 2 is the main event that night. #makingupthepaperroundsforthepaperboys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The art is a great place to debut, but she’s not been seen properly since. Why? What would you have expected to see? Perhaps the areas in which they felt she needed to improve were a bit less visible - psychology, for example; as opposed to being able to make the moves she can do look convincing. Her AEW matches were rarely that long. I thought she looked great in the Rumble, and I'm excited to see what she does next. As far as her not appearing anywhere since the Rumble, I imagine they've been concerned with the pressing issue of Rock/Reigns/Cody - which has possibly taken up more television time than they anticipated. If they think she's ready, she'll be back soon. If she doesn't appear until later in the year, it's hardly a disaster. She could come out post-Mania and proclaim she's signed a contract with either Raw or Smackdown, and it would be an impactful return. There's no rush to do something with her.

I think I’d hoped she’d have been in the running for a big time mania match. As someone who enjoyed her in AEW I was hoping she was going to be more Cody than Alexis King/Brian Pullman Jr. I appreciate that people felt she was green in AEW and she was booked to cover her weaknesses, but when you have someone pushed as much as Nia Jax on the roster you’d think they could easily give Jade a decent push and be able to protect her.
