C.S.

Joey Janela has to be the single dumbest wrestler alive, and that encompasses a very long list. Tony Khan is too nice to ever say it, but I bet he had major instant buyer's remorse after signing Janela to AEW. That was probably the one contract he was relieved not to renew.

Not how I expected this to go. Imagine if they did this match and build with a babyface who could make them money for years to come, instead of a pale announcer.

For the first time ever, I'm relieved Mauro is no longer in the company.

That means Sami Uso probably has a job for life. Thank God!

I could see these two end up as future releases. Without The Bloodline, what do they really bring to the table? Pretty much every other Samoan ever is more interesting in-ring and as characters.

JEFF COBB is here... ...as Solo's new enforcer?

A major pet peeve of mine is titles being left off shows - especially "World" Titles. But yes, they have way too many titles now to put them all on a show - even WrestleMania - which is another huge problem from where I sit. That's the industry now, though, I guess. AEW also has a million titles.

Undisputed WWE Championship Match: John Cena © vs. Randy Orton United States Championship Fatal Four-Way Match: Jacob Fatu © vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Damian Priest vs. LA Knight Intercontinental Championship Match: Dominik Mysterio © vs. Penta Women's Intercontinental Championship Match: Lyra Valkyria © vs. Becky Lynch Michael Cole on a Pole Match (not really): Pat McAfee vs. GUNTHER

Hopefully with Mauro as the lead commentator. Mama Mia!!!

I looked up this French word, and it roughly translates in English to voice of a generation.

Wise decision. Best of his generation, easily. One of the best of all time, really.

Dani Palmer too. I guess anyone promoted to EVOLVE is at risk (yes, promoted, because it's the best show WWE has by a mile).

Add Shotzi to the list.

Speaking of Naomi... Probably in poor taste, but also savage and hilarious. https://x.com/TheTrinity_Fatu/status/1918683085467435124

Without a doubt. The fact that he's not teaching promo classes at the PC is a major missed opportunity. (Actually, his promos seem decent enough in EVOLVE, believe it or not.)

EVOLVE wrestler Keanu Carver just shot on MAGA Samoans. Has he already been released? https://x.com/KeanuCarverWWE/status/1918503223658172534

Two more. Oro Mensah Javier Bernal They were jobbing in EVOLVE too, so I guess it's not a surprise.

Jakara Jackson and Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, and Wolfgang) added to the above list.

As expected, WWE released or didn't renew the contracts of a bunch of wrestlers. Kayden Carter Dakota Kai Braun Strowman Shayna Baszler Katana Chance Cora Jade Gigi Dolin Eddy Thorpe Riley Osborne Jakara Jackson Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, and Wolfgang) Oro Mensah Javier Bernal Shotzi Dani Palmer Office personnel and a host for shows like The Bump were also cut.

One of my "hot takes" that @The Thread Killer loves so much: Hangman was always a better promo. His epic "Cowboy Shit" promo was relatively early on, and that alone outshined most of MJF's mic work.

Am I missing a reason why War Games can't be held in an open air stadium?

What are they gonna do? Fire her? She has nothing to lose, so win-win for her either way.

Confirmed by NFL.com https://www.nfl.com/news/hall-of-famer-and-bears-legend-steve-mongo-mcmichael-dies-at-67-following-battle-with-als Hours after his ventilator was removed and he was put into hospice care. Sad news, but a long time coming. ALS is a wretched disease. I loved him as a Horseman.

Tozawa is great, but like @The Thread Killer, I've never been interested in Dar. I could Maclin being one of those random WWE veteran hires, but like @El-P said, I doubt he's someone they're actively looking to acquire. Aiden English is probably more likely as a random WWE returnee just because of Rusev.
