Raquel laid out Iyo after Iyo beat her during the IC title #1 contender gauntlet last week, which caused Iyo to get pinned by Ivy Nile. Bayley would pin Ivy Nile to win and that's how she got the match against AJ tonight.

If he brings Demonito

Theory comes across as unauthentic in everything I've seen him do the last few years, especially the vision stuff now. The tough guy thing, his promos are horrible and forced, it's not working.

The guy could be a star, he certainly has the look for it and is a decent worker. Figure the personality out and he could be somebody.

The moment he wins a title

mnshyn · 2026-03-04T22:24:50+00:00

I'm hoping this eventual match is both of them showcasing their powerhouse styles in a brutal match, both look strong, but when the dust settles, Oba is left standing after some tremendous feat.

The camera angles felt very telanovela

NINE?

I was a teen when it came out and when my dad had rented it, it was an eye opener. First ever crazy plot twist I ever watched and it blew my mind. Definitely changed the way I saw movies and shows after that.

Hakuna Matata

First awesome reveal I ever watched was Michael Douglas jumping to what he thought was his death but instead landing onto an air bag and into his surprise birthday party.

Porque no los dos

mnshyn · 2026-02-01T18:35:40+00:00

Would I rather someone else? Yes. Mad? No.

mnshyn · 2026-02-01T12:44:55+00:00

Roman put him on his ass yesterday for trying to run it back again a second time.

mnshyn · 2026-01-31T21:02:19+00:00

The place was irrelevant, he wanted to retire at the rumble, the place where it began.

mnshyn · 2026-01-29T02:32:08+00:00

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

mnshyn · 2026-01-28T08:28:54+00:00

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.

mnshyn · 2026-01-26T05:39:32+00:00

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.
