WWE in 2026

A year after both their debuts, I can say that Penta has been used a lot better than I thought in WWE (though it's criminal he hasn't held any gold yet) while Fenix has been booked like shit. He was starting to get something with the tag team with Andrade before the latter got released but subbing for Rey at WM has been his shining moment.
 
Fenix keeps having bad luck with his partners getting injured or being Andrade including his brother who was seeing a lot of upper card momentum before his injury.

speaking of people who once had momentum, Zack Ryder Matt Cardona is officially in the company full time.

they’ve also promoted Jordynne Grace and Trick Williams and Sami is tasked with making him a top star right away and it’s a good dance partner for that purpose.
 
Tommaso Ciampa is likely not renewing his expiring contract. Loved him in NXT but his main roster run has been hindered with injuries. I hope he finds peace wherever he ends up.
 
Ciampa's peak is going to be at a TNA/NXT level. The dude always carried a "cult favorite" appeal, right down to his early ROH work. A big hindrance to him has always been that he excelled at brawls and simpler stuff because he'd make that look nice and snug, but having him try to do things in the big "theatrical" manner that everyone else has been doing for a decade always made him feel out of place.

For his health, I hope he retires, but if he goes to TNA then I hope he works a simpler, more believable style.
 
Gonna have the entrance and spin around and be Andrade.
 
Raw has a new theme song since they are out of the Travis Scott business and it’s a Eminem & Juice Wrld song.

Look forward to seeing Slim Shady help Dom win the world title in Saudi.
 
I remember there was a rumor, like 20 years ago, that Eminem was actually training to be a wrestler. It got so big that his manager had to issue a statement dismissing it. Wonder what ignited that.

The Royal Rumble (24 days away) is apparently going to take place at a temporary stadium currently being built in a parking lot. (Possibly using prisoners and/or slave labor?)

With how many PPVs that Saudi Arabia has hosted at this point, I’m baffled as to why they building this slap-dash structure and not just using an existing venue.
 
It's like the Undertaker always said, if they can attack America on 9/11, our Saudi Daddies can build a stadium on short notice.

EDIT: I guess this was months ago. But I certainly couldn’t have imagined as a child a day would come when Carrot Top would be more jacked than HHH. I’m not going to listen to the podcast, but hopefully we got the story of why CT wasn’t at Mania 14.

It was taken down because it’s not true. They put the event in an existing stadium.
 
Calm down everyone, all the slaves are busy with other projects. Fortunately they'll be freed up in time for SaudiMania to act as seats. Not seat fillers, seats.
 
It's funny. I haven't canceled the Cock yet, but also don't have Netflix, so I'm not giving them any money and it's kinda dope.
 
Having no idea WWE was doing the international thing, it was a pleasant surprise to find SD on in the middle of the day with the Three Stages of Hell main event (which I thought was at the Rumble).
 
No, the Royal Rumble in Saudi will just have the usual one continuous stage of hell.
 
according to big dave, EVIL is headed to WWE.

the wrestler from NJPW, not the concept of evil, that’s already been there and has re-signed with the company for many more years.
 
Trying to gain access to Aaron Wolfe. Smart move.

I think he's still with Iyo Sky as well? It'll be nice to be together and not be separated by a continent.
