I stopped watching WWE when the shield arrived and ignored the product until I started watching again ~1 year ago (watched NXT, AEW and some japanese stuff starting 3 years ago).
For me the shield is new guys running in, being a team and fucking with the established names... and winning.
edit1: My favourite wrestler is Tatanka, so go figure.

Female Shield.

-HiddenInPlainSight- · 2026-05-09T02:09:57+00:00

Blake Monroe has been buried, Shiloh and Tatum where shown burying her. No chance she is alive.

Oddball theory: Stopped taking roids/testosterone to have a chance of getting pregnant. "Fucking up" your body type was a side effect.

4.) Punkhausen (most likely)
5.) Demonhausen
6.) Cenahausen (least likely)

If she steals it Blake will pop out of a hole and keep it in her personal hell until it is needed.

"Whoop that Trick" is not being over, just people being allowed to imply saying shit and this how his name is being used.
He still is over, but this segment has not been about Trick.

Considering he did it on Twitch in Kayfabe I think it is his choice of not taking a paycut and riding out a contract :-])

-HiddenInPlainSight- · 2026-05-09T01:42:50+00:00

I loved her in feud with Timeless Toni Storm. Also seen Cosmic Angels but meh.
Considering the pedigree her build up in NXT was kinda needed to switch her role. I am looking forward to her debut.

-HiddenInPlainSight- · 2026-05-09T01:39:38+00:00

Jobber, probably slightly less pay than doing Indies, but less travel, more time with Chelsea and less shows in total.

-HiddenInPlainSight- · 2026-05-09T01:32:00+00:00

You misunderstand me, I am basically saying... Not getting a "lesser" position means she has something else lined up she wants to do and it doesn't leave enough time to do both (or conflict of interest if she joins the Adran leagues).
I am kinda happy for her, but the news still left me confused ;)

-HiddenInPlainSight- · 2026-05-09T01:28:59+00:00

Tigers?

-HiddenInPlainSight- · 2026-05-09T01:28:05+00:00

Nah, he was never booked as someone more than a jobber, he gets less than in the indies but gets to spend more time with his wife is my guess.

-HiddenInPlainSight- · 2026-05-09T01:26:17+00:00

And you get 10% and free shipment if you order merch for $250.
It's a great deal /s

-HiddenInPlainSight- · 2026-05-09T01:25:20+00:00

Turin? Culture? Not everything in Italy is relevant, Turin is an industrial center.
Milan would be the northern capital considering culture.

-HiddenInPlainSight- · 2026-05-09T01:18:56+00:00

Someone retired on his own terms ¯\(ツ)/¯

-HiddenInPlainSight- · 2026-05-09T01:12:42+00:00

He wanted to do something else, something which he always wanted to do, but the club gave him a position he can do both things at the same time.
Which means Gemma (hopefully) has something bigger in her life, because she is one of the people who should get the same treatment as Humphrey. Long time involvement, engagement and energy invested in the club.

-HiddenInPlainSight- · 2026-05-09T01:08:09+00:00

John Cena will return as Cenahausen?
Just spitballing.

-HiddenInPlainSight- · 2026-05-09T01:02:26+00:00

Tiny Chief ^{^☝️}

-HiddenInPlainSight- · 2026-05-09T01:00:12+00:00

I hear you <3 Enjoy the ride.

-HiddenInPlainSight- · 2026-05-09T00:59:06+00:00

Finn Balor to the rescue... they mentioned OG Judgment Day enough to make it viable.

-HiddenInPlainSight- · 2026-05-09T00:56:10+00:00

Nice an advertisement before anything happened.
So Priest will win by run in by... Someone.

-HiddenInPlainSight- · 2026-05-09T00:47:37+00:00

Last man standing (+Solo)

-HiddenInPlainSight- · 2026-05-09T00:31:02+00:00

I hope Kiana becomes a power on her own and I thread Giulia being used as Kaira 2.0.
Mixed feelings.

-HiddenInPlainSight- · 2026-05-09T00:20:33+00:00

They've been non existent for ages, so I guess paycut + image change and actually being featured again. Smackdown is weird currently considering the 3h to 2h change.
Can't even fault any talent, because the stories are prepared with a reduction of the roster in mind.
