I really wonder at this point who is going to be the one to get the belt. Not that I ever thought Jey wins tonight but this has turned into such a mythological reign that there aren’t really many options here

I guess Cody? Although that’s somehow starting to seem wrong

They'll let a part-timer be the one to finally win it and then that person will vacate the belt a few months later.

Thank you. I forgot the specific quote

It'll be Cody. Everyone thought it would be prior to tonight and after getting Brock's endorsement tonight, it's very clear WWE are doing everything they can for fans to see him as a top guy and eventually the top guy

Well that was lame.

Congrats to Iyo, obviously. Sounds like Asuka will be retiring soon. Cool to hear that Brock’s handshake was unplanned.

Where'd you hear this? Haven't seen any major dirt sheets mention her retiring - only 41, plenty of time left (though she's done just about everything possible outside of winning MITB)

I hate to say this but Logan Paul is pretty fun to watch

Ricochet less so

She’s been busy building a private 3 story arcade in Japan, prompting rumors that she’s planning to move back home permanently.

This is the first time anything to do with the Bloodline story has made me groan. Doesn't make sense because of what was mentioned previously in this thread. Jimmy was the initial instigator.

Brock must really like Cody to do all that for him and go off script.

If that's what Rhonda/Shayna was always going to be, good thing they rushed it and just got it out of the way. Don't think that whole mess benefited anybody.

I think it will be that Jimmy is jealous of/feels left behind by Jey rather than siding with Roman. Roman kind of had like "uhhh ok" look after Jimmy interfered rather than "haha my plan worked!"

If that's the case, I would have gone with: Solo tries to interfere but Roman stops him b/c Tribal Combat demands one on one. Then Jimmy interferes. This lets both Jey and Roman be mad at Jimmy and plants seeds for Roman v. Solo v. Jey v. Jimmy.
