    I would think Cody's opponent would be MJF, given the angle on BTE. Maybe his opponent will be Marty if his contract is up at the end of this month.

    I’d be really disappointed if it’s MJF from a storytelling POV. The teaser phone call and the match card of Cody’s with his opponent pixilated out all happened well before the MJF vs Cody heat, even still it doesn’t seem like there’s bad blood, yet. I’d give the angle a longer build once their TV deal starts. It’s the best blood feud they’ve got going.

    This is pretty great

    Yeah I was pissed about it when I read about it being announced at the tapings, but assuming they didn't pump in crowd noise, the UK fans seemed to be happy for it so I can't really complain much anymore. Still I figured it was going to be the selling point of the next UK Takeover whenever that will be so I'm surprised they went with it now.

    Really hope Dunne is the first UK main roster call up. Would love too see him vs Bryan/KO/McIntyre, etc

    It's a shame if Stacey is done, but, hey, if he decided it's not for him, then it's not for him. 

    As for best NXT Champion... Everyone already knows my answer, right?

    The Vaudevillains?

  4. Spoiler

    Guess on what they do

     

    NXT Championship Ladder Match

    Johnny Gargano vs Adam Cole vs Ricochet vs Aleister Black vs Velveteen Dream vs a WWE guy chasing the title..Owens, Zayn, Ali

    NXT Women’s Championship Fatal Four-Way

    Shayna Baszler vs lo Shirai vs Bianca Belair vs Kairi Sane

    WWE United Kingdom Championship

    Pete Dunne vs WALTER

    NXT Tag Team Championship

    The War Raiders vs Forgotten Sons

    NXT North American Title #1 Contender

    Matt Riddle vs Roderick Strong

  5. I think the WWE Women’s Tag Titles will be defended on WM not (this) TakeOver

    If they go six matches..NXT UK Women’s Title

    Spoiler

    Sky Pirates would be the ideal choice vs Bayley & Sasha, but I think they are both involved in a fatal four-way for the NXT Women’s title. Shafir & Duke aren’t there yet.

     

  6. Harper and Realmuto is as good as any 3-4 or 4-5. Phillies and Padres are the likely spot for Keuchel, with Houston still talking.

    This is going to be a fantastic season and lots of buyers from what I see on paper

    NL East - Phillies, Mets, Braves, Nats

    NL Central - Brewers, Cubs, Cards, Reds, Pirates

    NL West - Dodgers, Padres, maybe the Giants 

    AL East - Red Sox, Yanks

    AL Central - Indians, Twins

    AL West - Astros, A’s

     

    2019 Astros are pretty stacked

    Chirinos, Stassi

    Gurriel, Altuve, Bregman, Correa, White, Diaz

    Reddick, Springer, Brantley, Kemp

    Verlander, Cole, Miley, McHugh, James

    Osuna, Pressly, Rondon, Devo, Peacock, Valdez, Harris

    #25 Marisnick, Guduan, K. Tucker, C. Perez

    Call me when they actually run that show,  it succeeds,  and they break even or run in the green with their ridiculous contracts.  Until that happens, their as likely to be Pro Wrestlings Fyre Festival as they are a legit #2. 

    Until there's a actual show/match promoted and run under the AEW banner, they're a bunch of carnies barking at the Circus entrance to pull you in, and you're all buying it sight unseen.  They don't have a product to refer to yet.  Talk to me after Double or Nothing runs, then we can start talking about if they're #2.

     

    Also, if we're using sales, NJPW/RoH jointly sold out a 20,000k plus building, AEW 12k, so, yeah, NJPW/RoH sold more than AEW's ONE show booked, and they've been around for decades.  Fuck this "AEW is #2" carny noise Meltzer is pushing. 

     

    NJPW/ROH sold out a 20k seat venue in NYC (on WM Weekend). How many of those people purchased tickets with the expectation that Omega, Jericho, Bucks, SCU, Cody, etc would be on the card? 10-15k? 

    AEW broke all kinds of pro wrestling records in ticket sales both with the amount they sold in a day, how quickly they did it and if there’s even been a wrestling show that had a Vegas sellout.

    AEW would not likely exist if All In had not been the success from a business and excitement level that it was. Now they have the backing of a billionaire business genius & wrestling conniosure with many of the top wrestling stars in the world that individually could probably out draw an ROH show head to head but as a collective can crush it all to hell.

    I have no doubt they are turning a major profit. There merchandise is through the roof. They are probably pulling a million in ticket sales and will sell millions more in merch at DorN. Have big TV money coming, at least one more big event before the end of the year plus Jericho Cruise, Starrcast II money and more wrestlers coming too add to their merch revenue.

    Id def say out of the gate they have the resources to be more successful
