Or they just do a trio ending at Mania.

Too bad Bronson is way far off. Could have him crush both. Seth because of their feud and Punk because he moved Roman, causing Bronson's injury.
They can, but that's just too run of the mill. 50-50 booking is kind of annoying (to a degree) - If they do 3 matches and blow it off at WM, you gotta think it would be some sort of stipulation. Last Man Standing or something?

Reed getting hurt probably what sped this up.

That's a really long time between now and Mania for Seth/Punk to exclusively feud but not touch.

I think you do a slightly screwy finish for the RAW match. Winner claims they are done with the other and stuff in the Rumble match reignites it for Mania.

I think that match might get blown up by someone, honestly. I can't see any winner coming out of that.
I’m hoping that Drew does something that delays the Seth v Punk match, but after announcing the Jan6 match it kinda feels set in stone. Best we can hope for might just be interference and shenanigans

Hell, i didn’t even care for Seth and Punk brawling last night. It was good. But it’s only December, they gotta build this on the Road to Mania

I was actually thinking about the Wyatt Sicks the other day. Mainly about how they're feuding with an already dead stable right after letting all the air out of the tires for Gable's stable.

As expected, the shelf life is short, and anybody who comes into contact with them comes out looking worse than they did going in.

It really is following the legacy of Bray after all

He's also supposed to have a boxing match with convicted rapist Connor McGregor...

With some of the incredibly dumb shit that cancel culturists target, it's amazing that convicted rapists don't get shunned from the spotlight.

People kinda just forgot altogether about Mike Tyson's conviction. Recall that WBD (Maybe still Turner at the time) was vehemently against the Briscoes being signed by AEW because of "Homophobic comments" years prior, but had no problem with AEW platforming Tyson.

It is amazing how much Tyson has become beloved and embraced after his history, of more than a few issues, with the rape being right at the top

Of course wrestling is full of bad people, always has been, and always will be, some just seem to slip thru the cracks while some like the Briscoes get held to a higher standard than others

Tyson faced his consequences, did his time, and came out a changed person. He is on the complete other end of the scale compared to these others that have done things and the only consequence they had was losing a job.

So with Roman/Solo not main eventing Jan 6, they either open and start the show hot with a Rock appearance, or maybe the rumours of Rock not being available this Mania are true, plus Punk/Rollins happening now...

They may have shifted to Punk vs Roman. Favour from Paul could be Punks Mania main event, a match against Roman. Something along the lines that Roman has main evented 9 wrestlemanias in a row and his surefire way to get one is against him.

Yeah, I'm aware he did his time, and I thoroughly enjoy his work on Mike Tyson's mysteries, just a little surprised how society overall has forgiven him as much as they have

This is clearly you seeing what you want to see, there is no intelligent argument that Kross and Final Testament are looking worse now than they did before.

I don’t know that they look better. It’s a very low bar. Kross has had some of the same problems that Wyatt used to have, really. The idea is super over in the heads of creative, but it never translates.

But they definitely don't look worse, which was the claim... but I personally think they look significantly better.

You're right, going from not having any direction at all to being in a bathroom break program is an improvement I guess...
