It is fantastic to see the women, and Shida specifically, main eventing two weeks in a row. They've earned this spot.

Hitting a bunch of kids with dodgeballs is incredibly fun. Everyone should do it at least once.

They are lowkey dickheads. Anytime another tag team gets a shot and some time to make their claim. They just upstage them immediately and hold the titles up.

The whole thing is great. I can see a world where MJF/Cole win the RoH belts and Cole beats MJF for the title. They stay tagging together but friction builds over time until one finally cracks (has to be MJF in this case) and turns on the other.

…And IMO I think Cole's going to be the heel of the story – 'Manipulating' Max with friendship and charm.

Prediction for tonight:

In the ring, Jericho tells Callis he’s going to stay with JAS. Suddenly, the arena goes dark. A familiar theme hits. Whose is it? You guessed it – Goldberg’s. He comes down to the ring and spears Jericho. Then Sting runs down the ramp and runs Callis and Goldberg out of the ring.

Sting goes ‘Wooo’ then gets on the mic and says that when he was just a baby scorpion Jericho used to feed and nurture him. Sting joins the JAS and takes on Goldberg at All-In.
Jericho would fight Bill instead but one of those bionic ab plates he had installed last year ruptures during the spear so he can’t make All In because the only surgeon who can fix it is based in Germany and late August is the only time he can fit Chris in.

Thoughts?
