Wait. Why.
Why should I be happy about this? Everyone involved is an evil person

*Aleister Black appears and hits Johnny with Black Mass* "I haven't forgotten, motherf***er." *Johnny kicks out at 2 on instinct*

The f***? Why Ciampa? Does he have to retire or something? He just had neck surgery and he said they told him he's basically on borrowed time for his in ring career
Plus full circle anyway as we won't see Ciampa for a while so close that chapter between those 2

The hero won, got to celebrate with his wife and family, and then the DIY family was reunited. Feels good. Even WrestleMania-adjacent TakeOvers have to end with the good guy triumphant... right, Vince? /stares at nobody in particular/

Heenan: There's Johnny's family. Probably snuck in again! Monsoon: Don’t start again or I’ll have you thrown out! Heenan: Whatever, I'm gonna party with Suzuki-Gun! Maybe I'll get Suzuki to join the Heenan Family!

And he's already kinda dropped the asshole act on Twitter by sharing the video of his recovery (with a "goodbye heat, I'll miss you" tweet attached) and showing his support to Johnny earlier, so it's not really out of left field.

I don't read Twitter, and I was unaware of the severity of his injury, so it was for me. I thought it was some bullshit retcon.

Monsoon: Yeah, because I’ve heard rumors of a fuzzy animal loose, a weasel somewhere in Zack Sabre Jr’s locker room, slipping some green in Taka Michinoku’s pockets!

I roll my eyes at how neither of these great performers can do anything without the booking team shoving the other up his ass.

My guess is that Io is the one to take the title from Shayna, likely at the next Takeover. Io is the only woman that Shayna hasn't officially beaten yet. She's beaten Kairi twice and now Bianca twice, but Io has pinned Shayna and she's yet to avenge that loss properly. My guess is that's the angle they play up. Nah. Considering the next Takeover is in San Jose, it'll probably be Candice LaRae who gets the next shot. That's only a few hours away from where Candice grew up. Now I don't think she's gonna win, because the crowd really seemed to want a Kairi vs Io feud after tonight. And the only way that gets a Takeover match is if one of them is champion.

Like, this could have been a big marker in Gargano's story without Ciampa, and they shoehorned him in anyway. Can you let the man breathe?

Is this meant to be making Charlotte sympathetic? (Not the Reid stuff, I'm talking about the crying about not being in the main event) She's just coming off as whiny and entitled
