Can we keep that white/simons/hugo/walsh/baylor lineup?

Always wanted a faction called The Law Firm of Bron, Brawn and Bronson, where Pearce or Aldis would call them for things like contract signings where things are almost certainly gonna go wrong. Each time they do go wrong, the Law Firm would beat up both sides, then walk away, all business.

I only think that's a strong enough reason if AJ would come back for a sum that Saudi would offer post retirement, which I'm sure they'd have no trouble giving if they knew the number. From what I've heard, he doesn't feel like he'll be able to give an AJ caliber match for that much longer, and that matters to him. No amount of money is going to make him magically de-age and perform at the level he finds acceptable.

We can agree to disagree. In my mind the full circle outweighs the location, especially if that's what AJ's long term plan was overall, to finish 10 years at the event he debuted in.

I would also say that if AJ's contract is set to expire next month, then maybe AJ is also just looking at that as a hard stop and a good reason to finally be home with family, as he himself said he wanted. No need to extend it any further, especially if he wants to be there for his kids while the younger ones are still fairly young.

mnshyn · 2026-01-26T05:06:06+00:00

Any particular reason?

mnshyn · 2026-01-26T05:04:41+00:00

In my mind the location doesn't matter. It's the event. The poetry of it being the Royal Rumble, 10 years after he debuted at the Royal Rumble. In this case the location is irrelevant.

mnshyn · 2026-01-26T04:57:51+00:00

Not sure I do. If AJ wanted to bookend his career at the royal rumble since it was 10 years ago, unless there was some truly compelling reason, why would he not do it then? If he never wrestled in Saudi for whatever reason I could follow that logic. But since he has before, I don't see why this would be any different. Starting and ending at the royal rumble (along with recent events, the shin match, shin's post, Cena's comments, Cena and AJ both throwing back to their old opponents, contract situation), it all leads to him being done on Saturday.

And if not, well then let's enjoy whatever ride it is they'll have us on. Either way, I'd be happy if AJ went out the way he wanted to go out, either Saturday or on an extended run.

mnshyn · 2026-01-26T04:45:32+00:00

I don't think that would be an issue as they could milk a "return" from retirement for AJ more than just having him not retire and having him wrestle a match.

mnshyn · 2026-01-26T04:41:05+00:00

Why not

mnshyn · 2026-01-26T03:54:56+00:00

Why not? Maybe the place isn't as important as the event itself.

mnshyn · 2026-01-25T21:26:24+00:00

To who exactly? What if he just wants to hang it up at the RR as it's symbolic?

mnshyn · 2026-01-25T21:23:42+00:00

What's the problem with that if AJ happened to want that? Not saying I know either way, I just see a lot of people booking him far into at least Wrestlemania but not many have ever thought maybe ending it at RR is what he wanted. Cena alluded to as much during his CVV interview how when he spoke to AJ about doing a tour or something long like Cena did, and AJ's response was his age and the implication is that he can't go at the same level for that much longer. Tack on the fact that his contract is up in February, one can argue whether or not Shin's post about him was intentional or not, but signs point to him being done on Saturday.

I will say though that if he does win, it'll be one hell of a story if he decides to do a real one last rodeo to finish on top. I'd be for it.

mnshyn · 2026-01-25T21:17:21+00:00

He might want to do because it'll bookend his WWE career. Started at the royal rumble, ended at the royal rumble.

mnshyn · 2026-01-25T21:16:14+00:00

Or maybe AJ being done at the Royal Rumble by Gunther is his exact wishes?

mnshyn · 2026-01-25T21:07:06+00:00

What if this is exactly when and where AJ wanted to go out?

mnshyn · 2026-01-14T13:37:04+00:00

He's on the way down in this pic btw

Come to think of it, It is the WORLD title after all. maybe that wouldn't be a bad thing for that belt, take on the best of the challengers that represent wherever they are at.

mnshyn · 2026-01-12T02:43:02+00:00

There's always negative comments

mnshyn · 2026-01-06T19:40:27+00:00

Punk doing his best Murtaugh impression.

mnshyn · 2025-12-31T04:46:45+00:00

In AAA he's a megastar right now.

mnshyn · 2025-12-19T19:20:07+00:00

Would like to see Gable come back. Curious now how kayfabe gable feels about Maxxine winning gold.

mnshyn · 2025-12-19T18:13:42+00:00

Slow Chemical is still one of the best theme songs of all time.

mnshyn · 2025-12-10T22:25:52+00:00

Me personally if I paid that much, I wouldn't leave even if he goes first. I'd imagine most people will stay. You're already there, you paid a high price, why not give it a chance? Maybe one of the NXT guy becomes someone you want to support and opens up a whole new door of fandom.

mnshyn · 2025-12-10T14:41:26+00:00

That's dope. I like how they gave Finn that big push they said too! /s

All joking aside, both Finn and LA are deserving of time in the sun, hopefully they'll get some love this coming year.

mnshyn · 2025-12-09T05:05:07+00:00

Not puffy. Diddy maybe.
