True, but the wording of the Torch story seemed to imply he was sick of WWE and what they were doing with his character, and not done with wrestling in general. He does seem to be the kind of guy to pull a CM Punk and just ghost the whole industry though.

Signing a guy who was a part of WWE's biggest act of the last few years would be exactly the kind of move AEW should make. It would signal they are for real and making moves to get the biggest name talent they can. As far as Ronda/Becky/Charlotte, Dave's been clear that the idead for Mania was always a three way but that was before everything took off the way it did. He said that the logical move is a one on one match with Ronda/Becky since it's clearly what the crowd wants, but he hasn't heard anything to indicate the plans changed yet. Given the company's MO of forcing what they want over what the fans are begging for, the three way seems like the probable way things will go. Another thing he mentioned is how both Ronda and Shanya grew to hate MMA fans due to all the shit they got on social media, and while Shanya's ok with it now in wrestling since she's playing a heel, Ronda is still easily shook when a crowd turns on her like they did last night.

Well that explains things. News just broke that Dean told the company he isn't interested in re signing when his deal is up in April. He's in Dave Batista "give no fucks because I'm leaving" mode, no wonder why he was on fire tonight.

"Heel does move multiple times in a row" is a WWE trope at this point and it almost always leads to the fans chanting "one more time" instead of booing the heel. That's not good babyface booking IHMO.

Not a "Vince type" blonde, if you get my gist. Also he sucks in the ring, but I dig how Corbin gets real "I hate you" heat instead of the normal ironic booing most heels get. I just wish he was half as good at wrestling as he is oozing douchebag charisma.

I'd wager Vince doesn't see it as marketable unless there's a blonde in the match.

See? Ronda's a good promo when she's not trying to juggle stupid WWE speak.

Becky should pull a Tommy Dreamer, "I'm hardcore, I'll take them both on!"

Ronda is such a natural heel, and the crowd clearly is behind Becky, but instead we get another case of WWE trying to force something.

The return of the Major Brothers!

I guess Nia is the new Chyna now?

Good lord, putting Alexa in with Tamina...they must be trying to kill her.

I chuckled at the crowd chanting "yes he does" when Dean asked Hunter if he needs to ask permisson to make a match.

They normally wait until after Mania to do call ups, but I would suspect the NXT guys/girls who get Rumble spots are probably the ones in the running to get those call ups when they happen. The interesting thing is how they follow up on the Nia thing imo. Was it a one time thing, or was it the start of them trying to normalize intergender wrestling? Even as a one time thing it was a stark change from a company who was known for advising women wrestlers they were interested in to not do them.

Well that wasn't the large Samoan I was expecting.

Lashley doing the Lord's work

The doctor who did the treatment that fixed Rey's knees really ought to get the Nobel Prize for medicine or something.

Jeff Hardy all "if Double J can wear his gear from the 90s so can I"

Did Shelton steal his gear from Rollins?

It's Rhea Ripley!

OK, Drew killing the conga line ruled.

It was Dean looking like Saturn's long lost son.

I liked the joke I saw where Cena had to miss the show tonight because it was JBL's turn with their hairdo.

Big E out there being a better Angle than Angle.
