Whilst I have no major issue with him coming back. There is so many of his "type" in the roster that I just don't see where he belongs.

Especially having him on raw. Big strong bulldozer types are already flooded on Raw - King Oba, Brock, Rusev, Jacob Fatu plus now Royce Keys too. At least on Smackdown there isn't many of that type.

I'm really annoyed how little the Tag Titles seem to feature and seem to mean at the minute - Priest and Truth could be a great strength and humour type team if they really pushed them and featured a more competitive scene around them.

Big Cass has gone straight for J'Von Evans and said that he's the first "in a stack of bodies" so as I guessed it seems like he's just going to go after a bunch of midcarders but I don't think there will be much longevity in that.

The tag division on both Raw and Smackdown has been stale for a while, especially on Raw where they haven't put much effort into at all. There was a period last year when the tag division on Smackdown was really competitive and they ended up having a multi-team tables, ladders & chairs match but since then things have gone downhill. I think a big major problem will always be having more than one tag team championship. If all tag teams on both shows go for just one set of titles then there would be more options and the tag scene would be more lively.

Chelsea with a broken orbital bone fingers 🤞 she can do the mask gimmick again, and with Rhea having surgery and likely to be out for 6 months make her the full champion already

AEW’s PAC (fka Adrian Neville in WWE) has passed away!

Incredibly shocking! He was in the opening match just last night!

What an absolute high level talent. Gutting!

R.I.P to him!

SHIT!!

That's extremely shocking and out of the blue. Been a fan of his work for a long time, his character work in 205 live 10 years ago and with the Cruiserweight title especially. Didn't really see too much of his time in NXT. Probably should go watch some at some point.

and he's been excellent in AEW as well. Really enjoyed his match with Okada a couple of years ago.

He was still up till now a member of the The Death Riders stable too. Not sure if they'll break up now, probably not a bad idea tbh as it's run it's course. Still behind with both atm but will feel pretty surreal watching his last matches now when I do :(

Rest In Peace Pac/Neville </3

Just found out the news about Neville/Pac about an hour ago but was too shellshocked at the time to post it here. This for me is right up there with Eddie Guerrero in how out of nowhere this is. He literally wrestled yesterday and he looked so healthy and full of life and was doing his usual high flying moves in the match against Andrade at All Out. I am in utter disbelief at this. It has been a rough few weeks for the members of AEW with Andy "The Butcher" Williams passing away and the sad news about Rebel's ALS condition. Wednesday's episode of Dynamite will be the most emotional one of all time along with the Brodie Lee tribute show.

R.I.P Pac/Neville

Do we know the cause yet? I really hope it's not some kind of head injury / trauma from fighting the night before.

How very sad though regardless.

Such a shock as he put on an excellent match just the night before, think it just goes to show we never know when our time is up 😪

Thoughts and Prayers to his family and friends at this difficult time

Apparently he was found slumped in a car. How sad 😔

Just read this now. Whilst the actual cause isn't known, to be found that way is just awful. Sounds totally unexpected. Not that it makes any of this any better but I hope it isn't something he's done with intent.

I do feel for Andrade (who shared the ring with him one last time) as that must be messing with his head a bit.

On last night's tribute to Pac episode of AEW Dynamite they aired a promo that Jon Moxley and the death riders filmed after his match against Will Ospreay. What Jon was saying was aimed at Ospreay but the wording has ended up being so poignant and almost foreshadows what would happen a short time later. One of the best promos I've heard in a long time.

Yeah Moxleys Promo was chilling and poignant and the way Pac was the last to leave the shot as well 😢😢

Didnt want to double post but as currently watching Mitb interesting choice for the women's winner 😮

Horrendous!

It should've been Roxanne! Ughhhhh.

Absolutely should of been Roxanne especially with whats just happened in the women's championship

Roman vs LA Knight - Predictable outcome because Roman isn't randomly dropping a title at MITB, shame because LA deserves a chance. But the match was great tbf.

Women's ladder match - I KNEW the second Tiff got added alongside the up and coming future talent that she would win but what an absolutely terrible choice. She's already had that moment and now what are they going to do? The exact same thing she did last time? Be friends with the champ then turn on them? Oh what a shocker.

Oba vs Bronson - Honestly, push Oba to the moon. Give him the title, let him have it for like 2 years and be the beast that can't be beaten, incredible.

Steph/Liv/Becky - Really? Another uninspired title run again? The crowds mild reaction spoke volumes. This only made sense if Roxanne had won MITB.

Men's ladder match - Honestly thought this was an absolute shoe in for Bron, so I was VERY glad with the switch up to Penta. That Je'von spot was insane, I hope he landed it safely, but the set up was awkward haha.

Overall it was decent enough , The winners were just questionable,

LA vs Roman moving to the first match made the predictable guaranteed. Great match though

Women's MiTb very solid should of had a bit more

time though the mens had more than double the time allocated , literally any other winner than Tiffany made more sense

Oba vs Reed both men were made to look dominate, both have decent futures ahead can we just give Oba his KOTR title shot already it made sense for the Brock Storyline but KOTR was in June now

Women's triple threat, great match wrong winner, she should of at least pinned Becky if this was the plan, also guess the rumours she off to film a movie arbt true (or its only a short stint) obvious now Stephanie only won for Club WWE content I refuse to buy it 🤣 hopefully this reign for Liv is shorter

Men's MiTB, as long as Owens and Punk didnt win I didnt mind any of the others, deserved for Penta, ambulance spot was great too Bron showed he deserves his push get the Tag belt off him and back to the singles division already

Yeah Roxanne should have won the women's briefcase, especially now that Liv Morgan is the women's champion again on Raw. Tiffany Stratton was the most predictable choice for the winner and it's not as if Chelsea Green has been booked as a dominant champion, so when Tiffany does exactly what she did 2 years ago and betrays her friend by cashing in Chelsea is hardly likely to enter a blood feud to try to regain the championship. If anything she'll just slot back into the midcard where she was not too long ago.

I can't see Penta defeating Roman to win the world championship so I imagine he will hold the men's briefcase for many months. You can tell that they're just filling time until Oba Femi challenges Roman at next year's Wrestlemania. Triple H in general is afraid of taking risks and almost always goes for the safe options. The 946 could have interfered in Roman's match with LA Knight but instead they waited until after to show up and just stare at Roman which in itself is just filling time until Survivor Series War Games.

I know its not WWE or AEW , but TNA Bound for Glory was fantastic last night Leon Slater winning the world title was the icing on the cake

Pac's cause of death has been revealed as bronchial asthma and his death was ruled natural by the Cook County Medical Examiner's office. Knowing this just makes it feel worse than it was before as this could have been a very preventable death. It was a case of wrong place and wrong time for him as by him being in a car he may not have had access to an inhaler and it sounds like he was alone in the vehicle when the asthma attack happened ☹️

Doesn't make it any sadder but at least it wasn't an overdose or anything like some people were speculating.
