That Sasha video felt like a "please don't leave us!" package.

Best part of the show to me.

Triple H gonna shock the world and challenge Lashley to all kinds of nasty flasbacks to WM 19.

It's pretty staggering how this company's troupes are so much worse when you stop watching and just check them out from time to time. I can already picture people justifying the bullshit from both men world title matches when at the end of they day, they both sucked while trying to "protect" people and failing at it too.

The crowd does not give a single fuck about Doudrop.

Better than Charlotte winning but that final stretch was bleh.

And still can't throw a jab to save her life, cotdamn.

The respectfully stuff kinda gets tired in a match like this. If you think someone looks great, just say it

The match was good but went OD with the melodramatic shit. Rollins laughing and offering a Shield fist bump immediately after getting hit with a spear was stupid as fuck but "we have to tell this story!" bullshit.

Any chance Roman or Brock lose their title match and then enter the Rumble to win it and challenge the other? Can't remember a Rumble like this one tbh.

It's gonna be so interesting watching how TK books that, if he stays away from needless swerves and makes a compelling, simple story it could give the company another big boost. And yeah, one would guess Omega and the Bucks end up as babyfaces so the FTR feud could be something for the 2nd semester.

Lol, who in All Japan could pull that kind of political move? Suwama?

Bummed about this, really wanted to see him & Dante for the next 5-8 months, they were the most exciting part about the shows to me after Danielson.

Everything seems to point to the show reaching it's (new) peak once Omega comes back and The Elite schism angle starts. By that point Page will probably be feuding with the winner of the Punk/MJF feud, Danielson should be back doing a new storyline and Darby/Sting could be tag champs or going for those belts. I hope The Elite stuff translates to a compelling angle but even if it ends up being something I don't like, I'm certain the younger audience & core AEW fanbase will eat it up.

Ahh, that makes sense. Tbanks!

Yeah, but Lio got kinda pushed aside before that. The whole "Dante swerves Team Taz" basically ended the relationship with Lio (unless it was something developed in Dark?) and we didn't see him again. I think he tweeted something encouraging Dante after he turned on Taz but that was it.

I asked this in the Dynamite thread but....what's the status on Lio Rush? Is he gone or something? I was eager to watch him with Dante as tag team and eventual rivals and shit didn't even last a month.

The good ol' "it's not supposed to be good, pal!" quote from Vince to Jericho (I think when he had to face Fandango at WM?)

Yeah if they were gonna do this theme show they should've come to South America for a little tour

I was gonna ask if Frankie Kazarian was the most sympathetic figure they could find in their roster for Archer to demolish but then I realized the segment was made for Page to look like a legit babyface Ace so I won't complain. Is Lio Rush done with the company? I loved his team with Dante but he's been pushed aside since Dante did that weird swerve with team Taz, and now they putting Sydal back with him. I know about the exchange between Lio and TK after the Swole stuff but I feel he was already thrown aside even before that.

Pasalo bien! Montevideo is pretty damn nice, Punta del Este though, respectfully.

So according to Fightful, Cody's is working without a contract as his initial deal expired. I can see him doing this for a storyline on his reality show and/or a Rumble appearance to try to get a big deal with either company. But at the end of the day I think he stays in AEW. I'm not a fan of Cody but this is still relevant news.

I don't know man, hearing Vince in your ears weekly doesn't sound like that much of an improvement that taking some bumps. Mental health could be more affected than his body.
