    Cody vs OC and FTR vs Best Friends next week makes me think that a Cody heel turn is imminent. The dark hair is probably a tell he’s going heel because he’s a nerd like that.

    New music is decent on first listen. She also looked good in ring. Gives me hope for Woods to return from a similar injury.

    that would be weird since he legitimately just said he’s not turning heel

    I mean yeah. That’s what they do in wrestling. Think about how many times people say they won’t screw someone and then screw them.

    Having the triumphant face victory and face promo then immediately turning heel doesn’t make any sense though

    Cassidy just lost to Brodie who Cody just beat. Logically, he shouldn’t be in this match. Logic is something AEW has done a good job with when booking. So why make the match? Well, OC is their most sympathetic baby face and they need a big angle for the Anniversary show. This would generate a ton of buzz.

    Her promo was god awful. Can’t believe they allowed that to air.

    Rhea Ripley has gotten so much better in the ring. She use to be decent at selling now she is amazing. It’s time to get her back on that major push. NXT women’s division is just too good. I’m not sure about Toni Storm but It can’t hurt adding her.

    Upupdowndown has made me think a lot of these guys and gals could do a whole lot more if given the chance, Ember Moon is not one of them. I think she is socially awkward or something because even her talking on YouTube casually with people gets awkward sometimes.

    Imagine a wrestling organization that let Cesaro do whatever he wanted. He’s hilarious with cole and woods.

    She can go in ring, call her up and throw her with Heyman too. But I wouldn't be giving her mic time.

    I'd love a Da Party faction and let Big E and Kofi have a singles run. Cole, Cesaro, Breeze and Woods would be fun if given some freedom. And they all can go in the ring too

    Very clear reason why she’s off main roster and wasn’t really pushed when she got the original call.

    You either go all in on character and make her a wolf/vampire whatever she’s kinda playing or find her a mouthpiece

    Gargano is so good as a heel. Very entertaining segment on NXT. I thought they were going to get the call up but after watching the show I don’t think it’s happening.

    The Gargano way as a faction. Get people like Ember Moon and Bronson Reed to help them to fulfill the prophecy.

    Look like Indi Hartwell will join. Hell, throw in Kushida and let Gargano speak for him. Imagine all the submission holds they could come up with

    "Draft " is kind of stupid when most the people picked are staying on the brands they are already on.

    Two full rounds of picks and its basically just traded AJ for Seth and Bianca Belair for Naomi

    Draft would be actually good if NXT was involved. AJ jumps brands every 3 months. Glad woods is back though.

    They split Big E from Kofi and Woods

    I love kayfabing draft, because that means Raw could have had all 3 but said "nah we don't want E"

    Or the fact Naomi was drafted ahead of New Day, Usos, Rey Mysterio, etc

    WWE has never really handled the draft well. It’s probably because the chairmen doesn’t watch sports and has no clue how a draft really works.

    I’m just glad they got rid of the war rooms, robots and awful “TV executives”.

    Just another point on the topic WWE should’ve just gone with a Super Star shakeup where the talent selected is randomized by a cpu. They did it years ago and it would make the splitting of teams and the order talent is selected make more sense.

    Someone needs to do a Kayfabe draft grades and give Raw an F. Must be run by Matt Millen

    Drew over Reigns is questionable but after that, took Naomi before Bianca Belair, Nia Jax and Shayna, as well as before Rey, Ricochet, Usos, Miz and Morrison, all of New Day and MITB holder Otis. Then drafted New Day, and despite being able to hold all 3, decided they didn't want Big E. Also drafted Dana Brooke before Otis and Mandy Rose before Rey Mysterio and New Day

    I always laughed when the network war room would cheer and high five at their pick like they just got lucky with it and not like Stephanie is reading the name they just gave her to read

    So Murphy drafted to SD too in post show....

    So when they have a chance to break up repetitive storyline with a draft, all the Mysterios, Seth and Murphy all just moved together to SD

    Tucker went to Raw, so no more Heavy Machinery

    anyone who has followed the product knew they were being broke up. It’s ok if you haven’t.

    don’t know who the other person(s) your speaking about but given its wwe I wouldn’t be surprised at it being yes
