I dunno. Jericho has been pretty adamant that he and Vince still talk quite regularly. Then JR talking about how he thinks Vince is one of his best friends on the anniversary of his wife's passing. I don't think there's actually too much animosity there.

Any word on what’s happening with the WWE network in Canada? I see mine is still working (I only subscribe Rumble through to Mania) but understand everything has moved to Peacock in the US and a bunch of the Attitude era content has been removed.

AS far as I know the WWE network still exists outside of the US. I haven't gone to look for edited content though.

Vince has said, and I think steph too, they have zero animosity, they only view AEW as a rival in terms of signing people, not in business

I think it was even jericho who said the only reason vince was mad after the original all in was because cody didn't call him to ask for advice

I don't think there's animosity, if there was Vince would treat it as more of a threat. But he's seen that the people that have signed there for the most part haven't really made a difference.



I still expect Chris will get into the Hall of Fame at some point, I still think that Jericho will probably want or take one last run in WWE before he retires.



(Which is to be honest over due.)

I had it in in the background while doing some other stuff in the living room.

I couldn't tell you a thing that happened. Turned it off after the 2nd hour and went to bed (which is 11pm my timr).

The good was it was pretty much a hurt business bobby lashley episode from what I saw.


The bad, just about everything else, except Rhea acting like a complete jerk.



The ugly, nothing new on the Fiend and Orton that I saw, I think they're trapped, they have a live audience so probably all the magical BS will be out unless they make it a theatrical match.


I'm more interested in the two nights of NXT Takeover this week then Wrestlemania.

I think with the Fiend - Orton thing the only move is to just make it a vicious beatdown.

You want the Fiend to be something again, then just have him be an actual monster now.

Before he was always conflicted as Bray or the Fiend. That doesn’t exist anymore. Now he’s just the Fiend and he should be seen as a real monster.

Just have him destroy Orton for 5 minutes and have Alexa be the crazed voice of the fiend just cackling as it happens.

Then go back to passed Bray/Fiend fueds and have him destroy anybody he “showed mercy” to as Bray previously.

Really that’s the only move at this point, until you probably have to just kill the character off altogether some how in the end.

Yeah, I think that the Fiend is a zombie, Alexa is the spirit of Bray controling it. I really enjoyed her character run on this, but its kind of wearing on me, and the Fiend always loses big matches. I think they're angling that the fiend wants revenge for everyone that's wronged him, and they want him seen as a avenging face.



But a zombie fiend wastes Bray's talent which is not really in the ring, but his promo and creativity. They could literally put anyone in the fiend make up (Wait could we get a fiend Alexa vs Bray feud)

Just doesn't seem like they know where they're going with Bliss here. On one hand I imagine them trying to the women's side a developed Undertaker type in a Female Fiend. Maybe. But she's not been wrestling either.

Or they're turning her into Paul Bearer. Which would suck.

Either way, this one has to figure itself out or like you said, it'll die on the vine. So much promise here.

I've always liked Alexa, first of all she has quite a life story. Second I think she's probably the best talker in the woman's division. She understand psychology. She knocked it out of the park for the longest time with the fiend thing, before the writers went over the insanity mark. I'd like to see her work the woman's division in her current character.



I do think they're shielding her a bit because of both multiple concussions and her size, she's had quite a few injuries in the last few years.

Sounds like both Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey are on their way back to the WWE according to the WWE chief Financial Officer.



I doubt it happens at wrestlemania but who knows. WWE might be desperate.

Anyone else watch Takeover tonight?

Walter / Ciampa was a total MOTY candidate. Brutal as hell. I'm surprised Ciampa isn't dead!

Yeah that match was something else. Walter is an un appreciated star, and Ciampa just always brings it at takeover. I also thought that Io vs Gonzales match though it was cut short. It looks like IO is heading to the main roster as she was bawling after the match while thanking the fans and it was almost like she was saying goodbye.


Tonight should be a bigger night with the higher profile matches. I wonder about Shotzi's state of mind as her dad had a heart attack and is in a coma.

O'Reilly vs. Cole is going to be a banger. That's the one I'm looking forward to the most.
