What I’m hoping for:

Jey, Sami, and Seth all lose their respective matches and leave Mania injured (not long term but maybe enough for a trip to a local medical facility).

Cody goes into tribal combat with no one on his side. Cody goes toe to toe with Roman and when it looks like he will win.. the Bloodline comes out. Solo is about to spike Cody. “YOUR TIME IS UP MY TIME IS NOW!!!” Cena comes out and takes out Solo getting revenge for his loss last fall and they brawl out of the arena. Rock says enough and is going to finally end this. GLASS SHATTERS!!! Stone Cold hits the ring and he and Rock, as old rivals, do the same. Jimmy is Roman’s last hope for help. Superkick!!! Jimmy takes out the Tribal Chief! Or at the very least, Jimmy walks out on him leaving him vulnerable for Cody’s attack. Cody pins Roman.

Friday, Jimmy says he went to war with his own brother to make the tribal chief believe he was in his pocket. Waiting for the right moment to take everything from him.

Usos vs Roman/Rock, Jimmy v Roman, Cody v Rock, Roman v Rock all come out of this plan. Would be cool to see Jimmy and Jey holding US and IC titles on their own brand.

I think this is pretty close to what will happen, except one thing I would change: Jey beating Jimmy on Night 1 shows him what life can be like when you leave The Tribal Chief's shadow and go on your own way. Jey will have the entire arena pumping their arms and cheering him on and when he gets the win over Jimmy he will have a crisis of faith. Rather than turn on Roman to join his brother, he will finally think for himself and want to be the best he can be.

It's remarkable that this " Avengers Assemble " angle has sort of just manifested in the minds of so many people. Not just here, but I've seen people on social media predicting Night 2 becoming Endgame.

I don't no whether it's been put out there subconsciously or the layers upon The Bloodline storyline suggest something like this is happening, but Jesus, if it happens, it will be unbelievable.

This is one of those times where fans came to a natural conclusion on their own that sounds really awesome, and it actually looks like it will happen. Normally we set ourselves up for some huge moment and it doesn't pan out and we all get sad but the build and the hints they have dropped and everything all seems to be pointing to The Bloodline's past coming back to haunt them.

There is a non-zero chance Night 2 closes with Cody holding the title and chugging Steveweisers with Austin and Cena. If you told me that two years ago I would have laughed in your face.

Think Austin said he is out this year. But he could be working people.

Really wish WWE was going for all hands on deck for this and bring in Dustin and Jacob and Zilla Fatu. Jacob and Zilla are in town for GCW. And frankly, Usos vs the Fatu boys would be a wild ass feud if they did bring them in. They would be hella over I think and WWE fans would love the Samoan Spike 3D variation.

But Booker has some issue with Zilla, and Tony may not allow Dustin to be there due to his petty feud with HHH. but if people put their damn egos aside, for one night, could have a wild ass finish with Bloodline members coming out of everywhere and Dustin helping Cody win his dream title and celebrating with him.

You know what I thought would be hilarious.

The Bloodline v Seth & Cody, The Bloodline win and Reigns snatches up Seth's World Title and walks off with it.

On Night 2, Drew beats Rollins, but he hasn't got his new title.. because Reigns has it. It's a plot point during Night 2, Rollins, Hunter, Aldis, Pearce are all chasing the title, but The Bloodline aren't in the building yet.

Anyways, under Bloodline Rules, Cody and the babyfaces are beat... then, out of no where, Claymore to Reigns and he snatches his title from ringside and walks out casually, meets Solo half way and gives him a Glasgow Kiss. It's the opening they need and Cody is like " WTF, I'll take it " and slides in for a Cody combo and the win.

With all the setup for these, going full on crash TV with one title for 48 hours would be hilarious.

I think Dustin is going to be there. He's working Wrestlecon in Philly Friday night and tweeted this:

I don't think he gets the whole run-in/entrance/etc but I think he is in attendance. Could very well see him sitting ringside for the main event and he gets involved by punching The Rock or something. He can be involved and the WWE doesn't have to mention AEW if that is their hang up. Everybody wins.

I imagine a lot of AEW guys will be backstage. Black, Mone, Buddy and Dustin of course. But whether or not he appears on camera is different. Part of me thinks HHH will not even ask him because he does not want to cause issues with Tony, but I can also see Cody just saying fuck the drama and asking Tony directly. Either way, everyone benefits from Dustin being there and there is no reason at all HHH and Tony cannot have a civil relationship. Do not know why every single person who goes against WWE has to make it into a fucking blood feud. Get on at least civil terms and you can make contract signings a whole lot easier on everyone involved when a guy needs to pick a fed to work for. And it opens the door to talent exchanges or coshows which only would help everyone involved.

But fuck, Bailey should not have to hid when going to see Mone wrestle and vice verses.  The carney days are long over so people need to stop acting like they still exist.  HHH seemed willing to move past things, but then Tony went all psychotic when HHH was asking when people's contracts were up.

I love that Seth gets the rightful response of ugh.

I wouldn't let Banks near WWE if I were Tony.

Sorry, the other guys are cool. Buddy, Black and Dustin all have a reason to be there. It's family. And all three are chill enough to just relax and enjoy the show and support their partners and brother. And there is fuck all investment in these guys as marquees for AEW.

Banks has the personality of an old house cat. She's problematic. Shes tanking already as a AEW personality. The Socials turned on her within 5 minutes of her appearing on air and it's only going to get worse if she appears in any way, shape or form on social media from Wrestlemania. Bloated salary, inauthentic on screen personality, terrible personality in general and she walked out of WWE when she didn't get her way. And she's on TV promoting a " global revolution " in AEW, which will mean absolutely jack shit if she appears at Wrestlemania, even on the socials.

Giulia will be at WM. No word on whether in the back or in the crowd.

As for Mone she will either be in the back, or hiding in the crowd. It is well known she comes out to support Bayley and Bayley comes out to support her. Either Tony can allow to her to chill in the back or risks her appearing on camera in the crowd.  She regularly tweets stuff about Naomi and Bayley and has not stopped since joining AEW.

Non-competes def will not cover barring someone from seeing their friend work at a live event, or accidentally appearing in the crowd of said event if taken to court. So far better for all involved to just have Mone in the back.

While he has no commented yet himself either, Matt Hardy likely to be in the back too catching up with people since he will be in town it seems.  He is openly talking about the possibility of returning to WWE.

Chris Van Vliet flooding his socials yesterday with clips of Matt Hardy talking about leaving AEW and going back to WWE and reliving The Hardy's return at Wrestlemania is not a good sign for AEW.

Or maybe it is.

But get your house in order Tony.

I don't want to see them in either company. I have nothing against them, I just care about them. The Mania return has been done. I'd rather see someone we haven't seen at all or in a long time. 

I made this video to hype up this crazy weekend of sports entertainment! Follow and like!

KING KID gave me kootys.

I have no clue why people find it shocking a former WWE talent who's contract is up in AEW would consider returning to WWE. You have two feds on TV, everyone is going to see what the other guy offers before they re-sign unless they are a tribalist.

What Matt has been saying is he wants to work somewhere that when Jeff is cleared again in 6 weeks they can work together in a real program.  This is either AEW or WWE if Tony gives Jeff an early release which he will request if Matt leaves.

Far different story than tribalists are reporting.

Also Matt noting that this is likely his final TV run with Jeff, which is why it matters so much.  This mean, if WWE signs them, someone can retire them at a future WM.

What match is everyone looking forward to the most this weekend?

I think it all starts and ends right at the top.  Cody/Roman II.  Everything's a toss up at the moment.  From whether the match will be Bloodline Rules or not, to who will comes to Cody's rescue if said stipulation is in effect, and even if Cody will even win.

A lot of questions going into, and during the main event.

I'm here only for Mami.

First WWE win of WM weekend.  Shayna wins via ref stoppage at Bloodsport.  Zooey Stark showed up with her.  

Charlie Dempsey appeared earlier in the card too getting his win via tapout.

I think the card looks pretty decent overall. 

Saturday Night 1 WrestleMania 40 Card



The Rock & Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins

Women's World Championship: Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Becky Lynch

Intercontinental Championship: Gunther (c) vs. Sami Zayn

Jey Uso vs. Jimmy Uso

Six-Pack ladder match for Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships: Judgment Day (Damian Priest & Finn Bálor) vs. Awesome Truth (The Miz & R-Truth) vs. DIY (Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa) vs. New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) vs. New Catch Republic (Pete Dunne & Tyler Bate) vs. A-Town Down Under (Austin Theory & Grayson Waller)

Bianca Belair, Naomi & Jade Cargill vs. Damage CTRL (Dakota Kai, Asuka & Kairi Sane)

Sunday Night 2 WrestleMania 40 Card



Undisputed WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Cody Rhodes

World Heavyweight Championship: Seth Rollins (c) vs. Drew McIntyre

LA Knight vs. AJ Styles

Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins) vs. The Final Testament (Karrion Kross & The Authors of Pain (Akam & Rezar)



I'm really not sure which one I'm most hyped for. Of course I want to see how the whole Rock/Roman/Cody/Seth thing plays out, but there's quite a few matches I think have the potential to steal the show.

Sadly I'm not as invested in Jey vs Jimmy as I hoped I'd be or Rey/Lee vs Dominik/Escobar for night 1 but the rest I'm here for. Night 2 there's not one match on there I'm not interested in except maybe the Lashley/Street Profits vs KK/AoP. 

I'm so happy Bobby Dempsey lost all that weight and is doing business...

Another face at Bloodsport.

Oh even weirder, and explains a lot of this.

Haven't seen Nattie in years, has she gotten thinner? She looks different than what I remember? Was she more bulky as a worker?

She basically just trains people all the time now. She is all like lean muscle.


Also real cool of Nick Khan to come check out Tony Khan's people working this event.  Guess even the WWE boss wants to see some real wrestling now and then <.<

Damn whole bunch of people chilling at Bloodsport it seems.  Like WWE took a field trip.  Got to love noting that Jax and Strowman are there while ignoring Punk.  Over a dozen WWE peeps floating around though from what I seen so far.

Corny gonna be screaming about this.  GCW is supposed to be a shit fed that everyone hates.

This be normalized though people just being allowed to chill at other wrestling shows and not have it be a huge deal.  If they are not a part of the show who cares if they are there or not.  Keyfabe is dead, we should get people have friends elsewhere.

Pics around showing that after Bloodsport some of the WWE peeps then went to the Stardom show. I imagine they then hit the DDT show that followed since all three shows were in the same area.

She's been working NXT the last couple of weeks.

I ACKNOWLEDGE ROMAN AS THE TRUE HEAD OF THE TABLE.

Tag team ladder match. I think it's gonna be insane.

Also I really think Sami is going to dethrone GUNTHER and I am looking forward to that. If he doesn't win I'll be disappointed but it should be a good match regardless.

I may be overthinking it but I can’t see WWE ending Gunther’s reign if Roman is losing on Sunday. Maybe they push Gunther’s reign out to the summer. However, with the story they are telling with Sami, I don’t know who else would end it. Chad Gable? A debuting Dragonov?

WWE production crew got to freaking out right now. 5.5 Earthquake in New Jersey. Shook the whole tri-state area pretty hard. Imagine people rushing to check their whole production setup and rigs.

Downgraded to a 4.8 and looking at the map it doesn't look like it would affect anything at Lincoln Financial. They maybe felt it but that's a big maybe.

If anything some crew have to pull an all-nighter redoing some safety checks but I'd say they'll be fine unless a bigger one hits.
