I originally was thinking there'd be some big moment where he saved Ciampa or something, but I kind of like that they're letting them both make their own way in the WWE world. Let each guy build themselves up so that if they actually do team, it means more.
I don't know if Gargano will ever be a world champ or anything, but I think he fills the endearing underdog role that D. Bry had for a while quite nicely.

I feel like they wanted to get this in before Wednesday because Dynamite is in Cleveland.

I love that HHH is just like "I'm getting as many of my f***ing toys back as I possibly can" The Undisputed Era, Andrade, Keith Lee, and Aleister Black right about now:

Granted she was released, but I feel like H would actually know what to do with her and her AEW tenure has been one huge wet fart

At this point AEW has a better roster than WWE does so if you can get the deal you like and are ok with the travel WWE isn't a bad option.

The Undisputed Era, Andrade, Keith Lee, and Aleister Black right about now: Like I said in another thread: yes, I'm sure Adam Cole is simply heartbroken he has to work with his best friends and girlfriend for another five years instead of getting to bask in Daddy H's warm glow. Though having said that I am genuinely quite happy he brought Gargano back. Even putting aside my dislike of him, Gargano is the type of wrestler that's pretty much tailor-made for a Hunter-run WWE.

I love that HHH is just like "I'm getting as many of my f***ing toys back as I possibly can" The Undisputed Era, Andrade, Keith Lee, and Aleister Black right about now: I said it in the live thread and I’ll say it again here… They had no way of knowing that what happened with Vince would happen. Everyone was under the impression that he’d be the boss until he died in the chair. Could their ships have come in under a Triple H WWE main roster setup had they held on to free agency for another year or so? Potentially, he’d definitely give them a better chance of it than Vince did. But I’m sure most of them are comfortable with the choice they made given the circumstances of their situations at the time.

Papa H picking up the remaining missing children he can after Angry Grandpa Vince kicked them out of the house. Del Rio: He'll call me. Any min now..... *crickets* Appropriately enough (and thankfully) Del Sucko was always a Vince guy.

L AND INDEED OL AT IMAGINING KEITH f***ING LEE OF ALL PEOPLE WISHING HE'D STUCK AROUND I think he's fine where he is, but it's also fair to think that had things gone differently, HHH absolutely would know what to do with him on the main roster

Cole is working with his best friends, his girlfriend, being paid really well and doing less dates and less travel..what's he have to be mad about?

L AND INDEED OL AT IMAGINING KEITH f***ING LEE OF ALL PEOPLE WISHING HE'D STUCK AROUND He didn’t get to choose to stick around, he got straight up cut. The majority of them were. It was only a handful of guys like Cole and O’Reilly that chose to leave at the end of their contracts (and thus got to appear in AEW pretty much straight away). I get your point, though. Being the Bearcat wasn’t getting him anywhere in a hurry.

The shows been good for about a month and it's all very exciting but p sure someone like 'BEARCAT' doesn't give a f*** about giving any time or grief to the nightmare sounding situation he got out of to get to AEW.

It is too bad I can't see Aleister Black on the main roster under HHH's control, though.

Keith Lee also thinks the WWE royally f***ed him over with how they handled his covid etc so he may not be interested in working there at all.

Cole, O'Reilly and Fish have been featured to the point of overexposure on AEW, Keith Lee is a tag champ and regularly featured, Andrade is a regular and was also able to team with his father-in-law in his last match. They're fine. If anything, they're getting to raise their stock for the next round of contract negotiations whenever those may happen.

And by then who knows what the landscape will be the new WWE honeymoon period will wear off and there will be warts there just like there are with every single regime that has existed in any company.
