    WWE posted this angle of Cena's entrance showing Stu running behind Cena for his entrance. The fact he's able to do that with the equipment attached to him... Stu needs to go into the Hall of Fame for that alone.

      I very well could have miscounted, but based on what I counted, Cody Rhodes has competed in 70 televised (Raw,SD,SNME,PLE) matches since his WWE return.

      He competed in 70 televised (Dynamite, Rampage, Dark, PPV) shows in AEW.

      So if true, his 70th wwe match would have been winning the wwe title, and of course his next match would now pass his AEW run.

          Do you like Wrestlemania?

          Do you like 2 night Wrestlemanias?

          Would you like TWO 2 night Wrestlemanias?

          Sounds like 2027 could wind up with TWO Wrestlemanias! Of course one goes to SA. Just seems so stupid to have another one. That's like holding two SuperBowls in the same season, or worse, whatever the NBA is doing with the NBA Cup trying to make that prestigious.

          WWE will happily accept any payment, but why does the SA organizers think the name of the event will change anything? The Greatest Royal Rumble didn't suddenly make it on the level of a real royal rumble. Just have Wrestlemania Backlash and call it a day.

            I don't think they care about how prestigious the event is seen in WWE history, they would just want the "Saudi Arabia hosts WrestleMania" headline.

              Not going to lie, I kinda enjoyed the Greatest Royal Rumble with 50 participants in it. It made me wish WWE would bring back the 40 Man Rumble one year again, I mean since they want nothing to do with Del Rio(though at this point, it wouldn't surprise me if they brought him back) then do another 40 Man Rumble so they can start erasing Del Rio from the history books.

              As for Mania in Saudi, honestly this is a good compromise as long as the regular WrestleMania doesn't go over there but they already got the Royal Rumble so..... we can't rule it out at this point. I agree though, just do WrestleMania Backlash in Saudi and call it a day. Hell, call it Super WrestleMania and get a deal with Nintendo to bring Super WrestleMania and other WWF SNES Classics on the Nintendo Switch.

                I find it interesting that this show is in Boston.... but no Cena appearance. I get that they want to save Boston for the last match and all but still odd. You would think Cena at least cuts a promo telling everyone the exact date, whether it's a PLE or just a Saturday Night's Main Event, etc.

                I have to think either way, we find this all out next Friday with an official announcement. I actually might go to this... but damn it Triple H just tell me the exact date lol.

                  NXT Star Adriana Rizzo announces she has a torn ACL. I'm starting to think it's a strength and conditioning issue at the PC. Multiple Women stars have gotten torn ACLs over the past several years.

                    It's happening across women's sports in general. There does seem to be a lot of them at the PC though, so maybe they're doing something especially wrong.

                      I want them to write off Rizzo in a perfect D'Angelo family way, someone leaving her house with a crowbar.


                      Unrelated, but sounds like wwe just realized AEW All Out is happening next month. There's rumors of a PLE happening the same day.

                      There currently wasn't anything scheduled after Clash in Paris until Crown Jewel in October.

                      The weird part is it happening in Indianapolis. They just got the rumble. How much more can WWE milk their fans? Tickets were already insane for that so they're gonna charge the same fans more PLE prices 7 months later?

                        Given Indianapolis is still slated to have Summerslam and Wrestlemania in the next several years, it's a bit much. Rumor is that it will be WWE Bad Blood, and with it being football season they can get coverage of the show on Pat's show and even on ESPN.

                        Since the show is in Indianapolis, I can totally see Reigns vs Rollins for the World Title at Bad Blood, probably inside Hell In A Cell which is fitting for their history. Maybe Cena vs Brock inside the Cell, those are two matches I can see them doing there. Roman's on the poster for Clash in Paris so likely they set it up there.

                          Random fact:

                          The original brand extension lasted about 9 years and 5 months.

                          This current brand extension has lasted about 9 years and 1 month.

                          So by Survivor Series this current brand split will have lasted longer than the original one, even though it obviously doesn't feel like it since half the roster seemingly can show up on the other show whenever they want.

                          I know some people have said they wanted the official split to end, but I definitely enjoy brand split eras way more than I enjoyed 2011-2015 WWE in the "supershow era"

                            Apparently there's talk of moving John Cena's final match to the weekend of AEW Worlds End in December. This would move it to December 27th, opposed to early December. Worlds End is in Chicago while WWE would put Saturday Night's Main Event or a PLE in Boston the same night.

                            If WWE goes back to T-Mobile Arena for Mania week next year, TK should just announce Dynamite & Collision taking place at MGM Garden Arena. The fact Vince and Bischoff weren't this petty compared to how WWE is treating AEW says a lot.

                              There's literally no reason to use Cenas final show as a counter program for AEW. They can easily just do an NXT show if they wanted that weekend, or a SNME/Tribute to the Troops show if they really wanted.

                              Cenas final show should be a PLE for sure though. His final show being a network tv event with hard outs for commercial breaks and the 2 hour mark would be so stupid. His final show as a PLE where you can actually have an untimed match and post show tribute/segment makes the most sense.

                              I also hope once his final match happens they give him the Ric Flair treatment on Raw. That segment after Flairs "final match" is one of my faves because of how much it meant with that being the first real big star to get written off in their career in that way, and seeing all the legends for that segment too.

                                When does Stephanie's podcast usually drop on Thursday? I know there's so much speculation so trying to figure out where the news would drop.

                                If it's a boy, they should name him Jimmy Fatu, so in 20-25 years his dad would be Big Jim, and he can be... Lilttle Jimmy!
