So theyβre going back to separate world titles for the split but keeping the men and womenβs tags crossbrand? Do I have that right?

This card is shaping up pretty good. Lots of intriguing match-ups.

Unless they announce a stip for Brock/Cody on Raw tonight I'm expecting a DQ or Brock win here then a final gimmick match at MITB. I don't think this will end with a regular singles match.
It'll be interesting to see what main events here. Seth/AJ crowns a new champion. Cody/Brock judging by the Raw ratings is the top drawing thing in the company right now. And the tag title match potentially has major implications if it leads to some kind of blow-up between Roman/Usos/Solo.

Even if it frees Gunther up for a feud with Seth (or AJ) will you be disappointed if Ali wins? Wasn't there a better option. Even if it's just a transition holder. Hell I'd rather see Miz win and tie the record.

Hell I'd rather see Miz win and tie the record. Gunther is in a tough spot right now. He's a little over 100 days away from snapping Honky Tonk Man's 35-year-old record as longest reigning Intercontinental Champion. He deserves to break the record. But he's also proven that he's worthy of a main event position as the top heel on Raw. But, no, this is not the person to end Gunther's reign. Mustafa Ali has been portrayed as a complete afterthought for the better part of the past few months, and I don't even think he and Gunther have interacted since he won his championship opportunity. If Gunther loses before Sept. 8 (when he breaks HTM's record), it should be to a legitimate challenger who'll carry the belt, not a transitional champion who will presumably drop the belt to another heel in week or so.

That terrible Hershey crowd last night were really only into three things on this show.
Cody.
Otis.
Rhea.
Itβs almost like Rhea is the star and SHE should be having the cool matches/feuds or something. π€. Not a thrown together nothing match with Natalya.

They could use this match against Gunther to build him up even in a loss... they just have to commit to him and let him look like he has a chance again Gunther and not just have Gunther squash him (and eventually follow through with him actually winning at some point which the WWE has the tendency to forget is the most important detail to the good in defeat trope.)

Rest of the card looks good but Natalya challenging for the title at this point is like post-2012 Kane or Big Show getting their yearly title shots. I just can't possibly care anymore. Hopefully it's just being done to give Rhea a win and isn't an actual feud that will continue.

Night of Champions NXT Battleground AEW Double or Nothing Nope, September 2022 this happened as well: Clash at the Castle NXT Worlds Collide AEW All Out 2022 And in August 2019 we had three events on the same day: NJPW Royal Quest NXT Takeover Cardiff AEW All Out 2019 Probably missing others, I think there was a NXT and AEW PPV the same weekend as another recent WWE Saudi show. There also was a weekend recenlty where NJPW Battle in the Valley and AEW Full Gear happened on the same night, and I think there was a WWE or NXT event on the same weekend. And this past Mania weekend, you had two nights of Mania, NXT Stand and Deliver and ROH Supercard of Honor all within the same couple days. 2019 had Wrestlemania, NXT Takeover New York, and ROH/NJPW G1 Supercard at MSG. So yeah...happens quite a lot, actually.

I think the thing I hate most is seeing people justify Bianca likely retaining tomorrow by saying she needs to break Trish's record as champion. It's just...dumb. Bianca's reign is on life support and the longer this goes on, the more and more I just want to see her as far away from the title picture as possible. It doesn't help that if Bianca wins, she has absolutely no one to feud with either. I guess maybe Lacey Evans but absolutely no one wants to see that feud and it would be just another heatless feud.
Meanwhile Asuka has a huge pool of women she can feud with if she were to win tomorrow.
