Enjoyed Punk Owens little meeting. "Thanks for your help" 
Punk is great, he's such a great talker
Him v rollins for night 1 at mania with Cody v reigns night 2 makes a lot of sense
Shame his punch people backstage line wasn't in front of a crowd who would have reacted better
Wwe has so many top faces which is surreal given how shit they were at this a few years ago
Now they have rollins, Orton, punk, LA Knight, Jey, Cody who are super over with the crowd
With the likes of ko and zayn just the next level but can main event shows.
Just the heels they need to continue building. Logan is a natural with dom, solo, Jimmy, waller, theory, escobar being built nicely. Kudos to them

Yeah they lack a top tier heel when Reigns is not there. Could actually see Rollins taking that position in the feud with CM Punk.
I love the fact that his big issue was being in the Main Event of Wrestlemania..... and he's come back, to only headline Saturday, despite seemingly being booked to win the Rumble if the odds are anything to go by, brilliant move by Papa Haitch putting him in his place
Unless they do put him on the Sunday, which, fair enough, brilliant move by Punk.

Things have changed though since he was last here. There are 2 titles which means essentially 2 main events. If he main events on the 1st day, it’s still main eventing. And some would argue that Punk v Rollins is a bigger draw than Cody v Reigns if that is the way it goes down. I don’t think it’s putting him in his place at all. His feud v Rollins has the potential to be one of the best ever.
There's one main event, the one that ends the weekend, which is why it's been Roman every year he's been available. There was also two titles for the entirety of his initial run anyway, doesn't really matter, I think like either 2 or 3 main events didn't even have the title on the line in that span. (Taker-HBK, Rock-Cena definitely)
I'd be absolutely fine with Punk-Seth ending the show as opposed to Cody-Roman, as you say, it should theoretically be a much better build and overall story.... but good luck telling Cody-Roman they're going on night 1 instead.
Think I and a lot of people wholeheartedly look at it as two main events. Night 2 is bigger, but night 1 is still a main event.
Trying telling Sami/KO and the usos that wasn't a main event this year, or stone cold he didn't main event in Texas. Undertakers retirement match too was a night 1 main event.
It's most definitely a main event spot
It’s more the structure of Wrestlemania that has changed since he was last here. As @SalfordRed18 says, a lot of people consider the ending to both nights as main events. WWE probably did that as well so that more wrestlers would be in the main event.
Im pretty sure an agreement was made with Punk regarding what he would be doing before he signed anyway.

Having Cody and Roman main event night 1 makes sense to me anyway, we've seen it last year and ultimately is just a rematch (even if it ends with Cody going over).
Roman shouldn't always close Mania, it's getting a little tedious.
And they’re off.

Glad punk is back and being allowed to talk and have segments.
Him on raw is the right move
Seth Rollins when not being a cackling imbecile can deliver a great promo, this is going to be a good feud
Its single handedly got me fully interested in Raw again. For all the problems with Punk he has this unique ability to tie enough truth into any feud to make it seem almost real, and Rollins is absolutely the right person to feud with him.
Anybody else enjoying raw but can’t shake this constant irritation with the title scene?
Everyone’s title reigns (no pun intended) seem to drag on and on and on. The challengers don’t really seem credible. Anyone who tries to step to Rhea and Gunther in particular and it all feels very predictable and pointless. The women’s tag titles I don’t even know what the feck is going on there. Have they even defended them ?
They seriously need to end these year plus long title reigns man.

Loving the Continental Classic, and glad there will have been semi-finals after all. Would happily watch a similar format for the women, tag and 6-man divisions too at various points in the year.
R-Truth is one of the best workers in Wrestling.
This guy could make 'Deadman' Undertaker break character.

The man doesnt age. Hes a treasure. Including him with JD is a great move
A great theory I read was Truth stealing the briefcase and cashing in on the 24/7 title.

That would be hilarious esp as it was thrown in the trash last time we saw it. Him randomly rolling people upA great theory I read was Trurh stealing the briefcase and cashing in on the 24/7 title.
Merry Xmas all
Been catching up on aew. The Continental classic has been a lot of fun, they've included people they've been having as top guys and with the no interference and each match pretty much having a conclusive winner, it's been entertaining seeing them have 'losers' but not making them look bad or killing momentum (obviously you have people like Briscoe and lethal but not an issue with them losing all the time)
The whos the devil storyline feels so flat. Especially as it includes their top star and should be their main story. Feel like it's gone on forever but nothing has happened. It doesn't even feel as good as the aces and eights story that tna did
And I hate they added Tony schivone on collision as their top commentator. Kevin Kelly and nigel were a good duo on their own.

Merry Christmas Sylar.
Watched dynamite last night, it was a solid card. Was an alright show but clearly had to rush the ending. Could do with one or two reveals for the devils henchmen, thought we'd get that last night.
Hopefully get that on Saturday. I still think it's cole.
Yeah I've enjoyed the Continental Classic but disappointed with that final. Mox v Kingston again! Seriously?! Feel like that story has already been told. Jay v Kingston would've been more interesting as would've BD v Mox or Swerve v anyone. Meh
Really surprises they didn't put Swerve into the final. Thought he was a lock... He feels incredibly hot right now
They must have Swerve penciled in for the world title in fairness. Better not wait too long though.
Where does he fit in though? After the devil?
Suppose MJF and the devil doesn't need the title, so maybe Joe v Swerve after? Id be down for the promos
So looks like Samoa Joe wins tonight and MJF takes some time out to heal from his injury. I’d bet my house on it especially after MJFs piece (https://www.theplayerstribune.com/posts/maxwell-jacob-friedman-aew-wrestling)
I suspect he will go on the shelf for a while and the will he, won’t he about his contract will rumble on (I think he’s already re-signed but this will be the angle along with his injury). In the meantime Joe will take the title and someone like Strickland will be written in to the challenge along with Osprey in February. Unsure where Wardlow fits in mind as he was written back in to feud with MJF and has been built up to be unstoppable.
The biggest question tonight is who is the devil and who are their men? It seems likely Adam Cole playing the long game with Roddy and the rest.
Dynamite main event was awful though. Dropping the RoH tag titles like that and to a pair we don’t even know has clearly been shoehorned in. I guess because MJF is going away for a while so they needed to get rid before tonight.
I will give AEW a bit of a pass though as the injury to Cole totally derailed the story and now with MJF injured it feels like they’ve had to try and throw something together or rush it through.
Matt Hardy hinted heavily at it being the kingdom under the masks. Would make sense with cole being the devil.
Where was that?
Yeah I imagine it’s Roddy, Kingdom and Cole.
MJF will certainly lose tonight though and will be away for quite some time I imagine.
Can't seem to link the Reddit post but it's a fightful Article.
Jericho being accused of harassing Kylie Rae all over Twitter....
AEW and drama. fecking hell.
AEW and drama. fecking hell.
This was brought up in 2019 but everything got swept away in the early everything is great era of AEW
Yeah there’s posts being linked accusing Jericho in 2019 and also interviews with Tony lying at why she was let go.
Journalists apparently knew this news also and didn’t report it. Massive scandal about to drop.
Could be a shitshow. I was reading a thread about the amount of (allegedly) sexual predators in AEW and feck me that bomb is about to drop. Tazz and Saraya family alone for feck sake
Edit and Saraya boyfriend with his own sexual allegations performing in blackface a few months ago!
Death, taxes and drama in aew.
