PWInsider is reporting the new Wyatt Family will consist of Bo Dallas, Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, and Erick Rowan. We're well into Ship of Theseus territory here.

So now they'll have Bloodline B&W and Wyatt Family 2000. Noice.

And now there's talk of a new deal between WWE and the Saudis, with maybe Rumble or Mania coming up in the package... Never change WWE.

Wasn't expecting the first time Jade would be doing extended selling in WWE would be in a match with Piper Niven, but here we are.

I do have to hand it to Piper, she goes up for everyone's moves like a champ and makes her opponents looks impressive as hell.

Gunther/Sheamus was pretty great, probably the best match from an American promotion so far this year. I liked how Gunther would repeatedly go for headlocks in the early going as a subtle indicator that Sheamus was giving him more than he could handle in the striking department. The chop to the back of the neck was classic pro wrestling smoke and mirrors as it looked and sounded devastating but was actually directed at Sheamus's upper back. They did meander a bit during the initial Sheamus comeback, but they got things back on track after the leg injury spot. Gunther's leg work was solid and Sheamus's selling was borderline brilliant, particularly his inability to execute proper covers due to the damage to his leg. Popping up after the German suplex wasn't ideal, but the way Sheamus collapsed after hitting the brogue kick made it clear that it was a temporary burst of adrenaline and not a no-sell of everything that had preceded it. Some unintentional comedy at the end as Pat McAfee (who earlier in the match helpfully informed us that Ringgeneral is German for ring general) tried to say "How much does the King of the Ring mean to Sheamus?" only to be interrupted mid-sentence by Sheamus tapping out.
