    Assuming the US can get it's Coronavirus problem under some control, otherwise I wouldn't be hoping on live crowds returning.

    BUT that's still 7 months away.

    Apparently they're building to an angle between Stephanie and Bayley. For the love of God please no.

    Now that it's officially cancelled they really need to do an actual match at the beach for Summer slam.

    WON

    There was an idea for the show to reform the Nation of Domination. Both Ron Simmons (who did appear on the show in a quick cameo for no reason) and Mark Henry (who was not on the show) were brought in to kickoff that angle. We don’t know if they are going to do that or if it was dropped. We do know people who thought from a real life timing situation that redoing the Nation right now would be incredibly tone deaf, so a lot did want it nixed.

    Now that is a spoof from Mr Meltzer if I ever saw one.

    Was just thinking how we don't seem to have any male mixed race factions or teams in WWE. Was trying to think if any mixed race teams in AEW but then struggled to even think of any black male wrestlers in AEW. Private Party and Sonny? Sonny teamed with Joey at least.
    Then they have that Chanel one who reminds me more of Welfare Queen from GLOW.

    The Inner Circle is mixed Hispanic and Caucasian.

    Death Triangle would be as well if Pac wasn't stuck in the Newcastle.

    Sky Italy have dropped WWE due to rising prices the WWE want and huge drops in viewing figures and replaced it with AEW.


    Sky dropped it in the UK for the same reason not good for the WWE in Europe.

    I think it might be due to WWE switching channels a month ago in Italy so Sky Italy got a less expensive replacement

    The WWE did a similar press release for there move to BT as well and we know here the reason why they moved from Sky wasn't down to more money from BT it was due to falling viewer figures and wanting the same/more money from Sky and Sky refusing to pay. Of course The WWE & BT biged it up as a major new deal despite the fact that BT are paying a lot less than Sky ever did.


    Sky UK/Ireland, Sky Germany/Austria and now Sky Italy have all now dropped the WWE this is the biggest pan European broadcasting company that is a disaster for the WWE.

    Kevin Kelly works for NJPW now.

    No Cathy Kelley is her real name and they are two different spellings of Kelly vs Kelley.

    Who's going over the side?
    I'd be very surprised if they don't do a "flying" bit.

    And the cinematic match will involve it sinking.

    But if that was the plan, they would want to be already planning it as I would guess organising that on a boat would take a lot of planning. I guess it also depends on whether it's docked or not
