What will 2022 be like for Pro Wrestling?

Good? Bad? Alexa Bliss?

Mance Warner.

More of the same

It's going to depend a lot on the pandemic, really. It's probably going to also depend on how much hirings/firings from WWE effect things, too. I could see a good chunk of people retiring.

RAW will feature rematches and champions jobbing in non-title matches.

That would be shocking!

[Hypnosis]

Raw goes below 1 million viewers consistently, and WWE ends the brand split because of their roster being so much smaller.

Other promotions continue to be on the rise, however.

Are they celebrating Vince McMahon's retirement?

We already had this discussion! officialfan.proboards.com/thread/434167/who-wwe-10-years

I’m looking forward to those WWE main events featuring Damien Sandow, Cody Rhodes, and Richie Steamboat.

Congrats to thirteen3 in there for pretty accurately calling the rise of Roman Reigns.

I got at least one of my one predictions right.

It will really depend on the pandemic and such. I’ll be optimistic

I think the glutton of talent that have recently left WWE will be a big shot in the arm for Strong, ROH, Impact, and MLW. I think the most interesting thing about 2022 is who will NJPW pick up both as touring guys and Strong guys. Names like Reed, Murphy, Atlas, and others could find themselves in good spots once everything opens up.

AEW’s presence in NJPW will be interesting as well. Will Omega and The Bucks be going there once they can? Will NJPW be more of a place for the Lee Johnson’s to get some great experience in some tournaments? Will NJPW send more guys over or will it be AEW’s turn to go to Japan more? That’s what I’m most interested in, and hopeful that 2022 will allow more travel.

Finally, Tyrus will win the NWA title. Much to my dismay.

[BlackoutCreature]

I think it'll be a lot like 2021, only with more flying cars.

[El Pollo Guerrera]

WWE will start doing cinematic matches in their weekly shows.

[This Player Hating Mothman]

I can't say that the wrestling of today is something I could have predicted at the start of the year. In the past few months we've seen unprecedented cooperation between major promotions (with Bound for Glory basically billing itself as a crossover supercard), WWE mismanaging itself into new problems while releasing neough people to alter the make-up of the non-WWE scene, and CM Punk seemingly returning to the ring. Wrestling since about 2014 has become an unpredictable, volatile clusterf*** of shit happening that you'd never imagine happening and I don't think that's going to stop. Strap in because shit's going to get wilder.

F***, who even knows. Outside the serious stuff, for all we know, Paige could return, win the Raw Women’s Championship, get fired, Johnny Ace forgets to add a 90 day to her contract and she goes to Impact to beat Mercedez Martinez for the Impact title.

All bets are off at this point.

Well they were accurate about Cody being a Main Eventer, just not in WWE.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

Jade Cargill will be dangerously hot.

What do you mean "will be"?
