2022 Pro Wrestling Thread

As soon as Maryse hit Edge with the bag, I thought to myself "If they were smart bookers, they would bring Beth out as an equalizer!," not expecting them to be that smart. 10 seconds later: Beth, chasing Maryse, jawing back and forth with Miz, spear, 1-2-3. Loved it!

 

Beth looked like a million bucks, but I'm a little surprised they pulled that card out tonight. But if they would've had Maryse help Miz get the upper hand, I think it would've been too similar to their feud with Bryan/Brie a few years ago (and WWE is always sooo good at not repeating storylines).

 

I kinda had a feeling they'd give Liv a shot. They were playing this up to be such a big show, and are there going to be no title changes?

 

I really liked the Liv-Becky match. I didn't really feel they were ready to take the belt of Lynch yet, but they did make it seem like Morgan might just steal one. Good job by both.

 

I'm thinking Bayley might be coming back soon to threaten Becky. Don't really see what direction they can go with the women's division so watered down now, other than go back to Bianca.

And Johnny Knoxville in the Rumble? It could be fun. At least we know be can take some damage, and it can't be any worse than Drew Carey.

 

Lesnar again. Ho-hum. A symptom of the overall reason I don't follow this as closely as I used to.

 

Had a hunch this was how it was going to go after all the changes. Guess this means Brock is moving to Raw? Doesn't seem like that'll make Fox very happy.

What does this do with the whole triangle with Heyman and Roman (when he's healthy)?

Is Brock going to go for Woods' crown to make it a sweep of the New Day?

 

Lot of possibilities here…….they could easily pivot to Lesnar/Lashley for Mania and find something else for Reigns

Lesnar had alluded to Heyman getting him a “free agent” deal to float between Raw and Smackdown, so since he was only able to win the Raw title thanks to that deal, they could fold it into the triangle story

Could set up Big E for Royal Rumble win….

 

And tonight’s lottery numbers are going to be ….?

 

I don’t mind Lesnar winning, as when your promised main event fizzles, you have to do something to make up for it. But I’m not crazy with him pinning Big E. He needed to pin someone else.

 

The NHL on TNT crew is not All Elite!

 

Do any of those guys even know there's a competing wrestling promotion on their network?
