When your upper card doesn’t want to work a match, that’s not a player problem—that’s a booking problem. Ringside News →
Adding teams to the Trios title match is fine if it’s an upgrade, but expanding just to expand is how you dilute what should be your biggest weekend of the year. Ringside News →
Jericho pitching Grado as a tag partner is either the best or worst idea anyone’s had all week and honestly it could go either way. Fightful →
Fletcher’s already circling Dragunov like a shark—if WWE actually lets that happen, it’s the rare instance where everyone wins. F4W Online →
AJ Lee being gone since Mania with no real word is the kind of silence that usually means something’s either broken or about to break. F4W Online →
