2023 Pro Wrestling Thread

Say what you will, but Cena can still do a promo like nobody else in a WWE ring.

 

Unless Becky and Lita drop the belts before the 6-way, what do they do with some of the other upper-tier women? Liv, Carmella, Natalya, Shayna, Raquel ... looks like Ronda might be injured.

Right now, there's just 3 women's matches booked. You'd figure there would be at least 2 for each night. Maybe more than just a throwaway battle royal.

 

I had a feeling that Jay was pulling a swerve, but Cody was not the run-in I was expecting at the end.

Must be something to do with Cody and Kevin talking in the background of that Elias/Boogs bit.

 

That would set up Usos vs. KO/Sami nicely, but I don’t want that after Sami was so close to winning the title. Would prefer this to set up something between Sami and Cody with somebody making a heel turn.

 

Showing Cody helping out Sami Zayn also builds up more logic for the Sami Zayn run-in during Cody's match at Wrestlemania.

 

Re: AEW title

Just watched the newest Being The Elite video on YouTube. It opened with Omega practicing lines where he was addressing somebody about being a Satan worshipper. Might be a swerve, but it sure felt like he was talking about the Devil himself, MJF.

 

Isn't Malakai Black a Satanist, either IRL or part of his old character?

 

Ah, well, now I look foolish. I didn’t know that.

 

It's not something most people know. Back in his NXT days, I remember seeing something about it during a discussion somewhere about who could be the next big star for WWE, and it was mentioned how him being a Satanist put a cap on how high they'd let him go.

 

He is his parents' child.

 

Speaking of which...

GARGANO vs. WALLER! They blew the roof off the PC for that one. Great callback for Waller "retiring" Gargano from NXT before his contract expired.

Johnny is definitely on NXT's Mount Rushmore and probably #1 overall.

 

WTF was that at the end of NXT? Did Roxanne legitimately collapse? Seems like they would've tried to do more in the ring if it was legit.

What would they be trying to get out of this in a storyline?
