WWE recently did a live show on Netflix at WWE HQ, where a bunch of talent cut promos.

In it, Cole announced Seth/Punk would be the main event in the debut episode.

Therefore, I'm thinking Roman/Solo will be the opening match.

True. That's what happens when there's real heat between the two and you allow them to go after each other. And both happen to be a couple of the best mic guys in the business.

It should be the main event of the Netflix show. Nothing against Roman/Solo, but that is a Smackdown feud. IMO, they need to move on from that storyline, because that matchup doesn't really excite me at all. I think it will be the opening match, but Liv/Rhea or Jey/Drew deserves that spot as well.

Rey/Penta vs New Day just feels out of place on this card.

Ric Flair saying he has one more match in him. Yeah one more match because he gets in the ring he will probably die and it will be his last match.

I read about that. He said Tony Khan wouldn't allow him in the ring due to being on blood thinners. His son in law promoted his "last match" and said he won't again. Kind of a slap in the face to him. Lay off the booze Ric. Eat some Woo wings or whatever.

jmarascojr · 01-03-2025, 09:21 AM

Flair needs to realize nobody wants him in the ring anymore and he needs to be satisfied with signing autographs and pimping out weed and energy drinks...

He needs to stop getting married and maybe he wouldn't need so much money for alimony payments...

Although the suggestions on X yesterday that his match should be against Bronson Reed were quite hysterical

Cracktoast · 01-03-2025, 11:23 AM

At what point do his family and friends do an intervention and have a judge force him to get a mental evaluation?

I would pay money to see that. Flair cussing, ranting, flopping on the floor giving the judge chest chops.

Jericho · 01-03-2025, 01:27 PM

Flair's just embarrassing himself at this point. Idk why he cant see that. I give AEW credit though, because Ric supposedly wanted to be more involved in Sting's retirement angle but they didn't use him too much. He would have tried to make it about himself like he always does

I just watched the Netflix trailer and saw that they used Bayley, The Man, Bianca and Liv but no sign of Ripley.

That crowd pop was crazy. Hopefully they give her a nice, long reign. Throw some PLE victories over some returning vets in there as well.

Sounds like the company is giving the talent some rest before WM. There are no WWE Live (house shows) scheduled until March 14th.

I don't see her holding the title past WM sadly. Either Jax will win it back or cost her the title out of spite. I would say she wins a rematch via DQ at Rumble then successfully retains at Elimination Chamber then loses at WM to either Lynch or Flair whichever one wins the Women's Rumble.

Unfortunately, I think you're probably right about how long her reign will be. I feel like they are going to handle Tiffy like they handled Jey

Do people still care about Flair?

ThatGuyPal · 01-04-2025, 12:39 AM

Tiffany went full Stone-Cold, opened a can on everyone lol

Does not matter if the fans don't care about Flair the people calling the shots love her and she's going to keep getting pushed. She's needs to break her dad's record of title regins

Here's the problem.

It wasn't an official "match".

All matches require both competitors to start the match on their feet, which Nia was not.

Therefore, this should be tossed out. At the very least, Nia's got a great gripe. If they go that way.

Not true at all.

Edge's 2nd MITB cash-in Taker was on the mat the whole time.

Thanks, was not aware. Still, I think Nia will use this rule. Or she should.

JustinVerlander07 · 01-04-2025, 10:03 AM

Also, somebody smarter than me tell me in a match with Zayn and Jimmy Uso that Jey keeps taking the loss. I just don't understand the lack (or care) of protecting him. Perhaps because he's still more over than 99% of the roster but it does him no good. And he's gonna lose to Drew on Monday.

I feel like they've been very inconsistent with that rule. There have been times that the ref wouldn't let them ring the bell until the champion stood up, and other times they do it like this.

Yup. That's the frustrating part.

It's almost like they introduced the new belts so the newer talent that is getting over can have something while the old vets continue to get recycled with the top belts.

Will just point out that the title match last night featured two relatives of The Rock's.

Jericho · 01-04-2025, 02:09 PM

I hope Charlotte wins the Rumble, because she has given everyone their best matches. Her Mania match with Rhea is the best match Rhea has ever had and probably will ever have. I'd do Charlotte/Tiffany at Mania and put Flair over, because you dont beat Charlotte your first time. I'd keep it on Charlotte for a year and have Tiffany won the Rumble in 2026 and take it back at Mania. But if you want it faster then they could do it at SummerSlam 2025.

Im enjoying DIY as heels and hope they get a long reign.

I cant wait for this Bloodline thing to end, its been dragged on for long enough
