Hi all!

WWE hadn't posted a preview for tonight (as of 4:30 PM ET), so it was the old "pick random wrestling site, make some some guesses & see what gets on air" headline bit. But yeah, I guess we will see if Asuka doing her "Kana" persona was a one off or not. See everyone for the show.

isamudyson: Johnny Gargano takes on Baron Corbin in an Elimination Chamber Qualifier


I really don't understand why they took the time to repackage Corbin and even give him a HOFer as an extra heat magnet just to go right back to jobbing him and hacking on him within a month. Buncha wasted effort.

You think he's jobbing to Gargano? Fingers crossed over here but I'm skeptical.

I had a great time at the Rumble, but still feel like Ralphie in a Christmas Story after the Bray Wyatt match.  I think I'm done with him, and got more pissed off the more I thought about it.

I followed the Wyatt storyline since Extreme rules. The white rabbit, coordinates, hidden IP addresses, Google map images, cryptic QR codes, real life funhouse friends, Alexa Bliss stalking, Uncle Howdy...etc etc etc.  All in anticipation for his return to the ring.  Then the day comes day and...

It lead to a match telling me to drink more ovaltine...I mean Mountain Dew?

Hopefully LA Knight can survive it...YEAH

I had no real expectations for the match itself. I -expected- it to suck. My disappoint comes in the form of despite all that buildup.. that dragged on way too long.. nothing felt like it moved forward.

Instead, I'll focus on my positive takeaways from the Rumble:

-GUNTHER looking like a legit star
-and as much as I can't stand him, that sick Logan Paul-Ricochet spot
-Zelina's awesome Juri Han cosplay
-Asukana
-and of course, the fallout from the main event

Again being nitpicky but announcing Cody beforehand, and having him win at 30 I think ruined a great return pop.

Interesting to see that we have Elimination Chamber qualifiers tonight, but they probably should bother telling us what the actual stakes for the EC match are going to be... it's not like Roman's going to be in it.

#1 contender? You've already got Sami and Cody!
The IC or US titles?
