{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}I love Rhea as much as the next person but even in her home country I don't think her match is going to be seen as a bigger deal than Rock v Roman if it happens. That's not a slight on her but literally nothing in wrestling (that's realistic in 2024) could be bigger than that match. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Mami is great, but I can't see her selling out the Bowl in Perth even if she faces Becky Lynch.
Wasn't there a report a few weeks ago that ticket sales weren't as strong as hoped due to it being during the height of Aussie summer? Putting The Rock on the bill against Roman would move quite a few tickets. That was Meltzer reading a spreadsheet wrong and reporting 7k tickets had been sold when the 7k number was the number of available tickets remaining. They were actually at around 45k tickets sold as of a few weeks ago. I haven't seen an update since then.

People need to think less about which show is bigger and more into what the Rock can fit into a schedule. Combined with a report from weeks ago that Perth officials were trying to get Rock for that show. Mania may have the name and prestige but it doesnβt mean these huge shows outside of the country donβt. HBK didnβt return for a Mania payday. He went to Saudi Arabia.

Nice to know that even with Vince having no input on TV and Kevin Dunn leaving, we can STILL be overwhelmingly cynical about WWE booking something else instead of that thing you want.
Yep, the world didnβt completely spin off its axis.

Yep, the world didnβt completely spin off its axis. To be fair more people by far likely want Rock/Roman than any other possible match in wrestling. Maybe not in the IWC but in general. My issue with Rock/Roman was I didn't want it to happen at Mania because a) I think Roman should lose the title at 40 and b) Part-time 50 year old Rock shouldn't be the one to beat him. Doing it on another PPV would be the best of both worlds though. The people who want the big dream match get it and the people who want Cody to win the title at Mania get what they want too. My stance on the match though is the same as it's been for the past 4 years. No matter how many times it's rumored I'm not actually buying that it's happening until I see them standing in the ring together and the challenge is issued.

I look forward to this "Kevin Dunn-less" show. While I bet there will be a transition period where they will be trying all sorts of things out, it'll be a good step in the right direction. As for booking in regards to Roman/Rock/Cody, I trust em. Rock's going to get his ass kicked and Cody's gonna do what they've been building him to do.

Heβs almost definitely not winning the title tonight , imo. Oh well. At least he won't be ending the show serenading the crowd with a rendition of Sweet Caroline. As requested

I guarantee people are going to trick themselves into thinking there were less camera cuts tonight when the show will almost certainly be shot the exact same way it always is.

Just now found out that there was a country singer named "Johnny Paycheck".
John Hennigan could have used that in AEW.

So Andrade is officially done with AEW? Wasn't he just wrestling there on Saturday night?

{Spoiler}That simultaneously makes me hyped for Elimination Chamber while making me dead f***ing certain I'm not watching it. Anything to get this stupid match over with already so we can get this stupid reign over with already.

A lot of people were theorizing Mercedes butβ¦. If itβs an actual former WWE Champion, and not vaguely meant to be a holder of any belt..considering the wordage used of βcrossing the finishing lineβ and even Hunter tweeting about it?.. my guess is Rock. No idea if heβs busy or scheduled doing something though. Otherwise could be anyone from Batista to RVD, Ziggler, who the hell knows. Cody i.. I just want to say i love you, dawg. We now cut to live footage of CM Punk taking a shit on Triple H's desk
