There was literally a full blown war going on in Iraq when they did a Tribute To The Troops show without a hitch.

Yep 100% over a year away there is no need for a knee jerk change. TKO/WWE probably already has a backup site in place in case something would happen but right now they have plenty of time to be in a wait and see mode since tickets won't go on sale for a while.

It's everybody's favorite day we'll see if he shows up on Raw. A Stone Cold/Danhausen bit would be killer.

They aren't making a decision yet! Also these are all 'reports'. And just because Vince is a dummy doesn't mean they should put the talent in harms way now potentially.

JustinVerlander07 · 03-16-2026, 07:10 PM

Quite the opening to Raw!

JustinVerlander07 · 03-16-2026, 07:13 PM

The Oba aura is absolutely insane. Holy cow

AwesomeBrian · 03-16-2026, 07:14 PM

That was awesome

Jaypers · 03-16-2026, 07:16 PM

Looking forward to Oba vs. Brock.

Still don't understand how Brock just let him give out that powerbomb without any struggle, though.

Has anyone ever manhandled Brock like that other than Big Show? I can't remember Strowman doing anything like that.

Watch NXT people. I've made so much cash buying up Femi stuff a year ago, grading it when PSA didn't even know who he was (which meant easy 10's), and holding.

I'm curious what you bought in at because I recall pre SNME his Autos were maybe $50-$75 and the same ones are now $150-$200

I just sold a Select RC purple ringside #/35 PSA 10 for $400. I was all in for $60 (card and grading fee).

Of what I've sold, I've spent $550 on cards and grading, over 8 cards, and I've netted $2150.

And I probably sold too early.

Profit (especially 400% profit) is profit, but I'd say you are correct you sold early. I think (saying this as someone who has yet to buy an Auto) there is a lot of room still there to go up in the short term at least.

bjho852 · 03-16-2026, 07:54 PM

Looks like there will be a new/modified format of women's grand slam, as Cole mentioned that AJ Lee's IC title reign is a step closer to the feat.

Cracktoast · 03-16-2026, 08:25 PM

Oba/Brock scares me because if rumors are true Brock has told the higher up's that he isn't losing until his retirement match that means Oba loses at WM which could take away some of his momentum.

They wouldn't dare try to pull off a Montreal screwjob on Lesnar because he would just walk away and WWE loses all that money they would make for his retirement tour. Plus we all know Lesnar is a vindictive POS and he would show up in AEW first shot he gets.

I'll sleep well knowing that one in the hand is worth two in the bush, oh and that I still have his Prizm auto #/25 PSA 10, and 6 other Femi's currently at PSA. :-)

DrZman · 03-16-2026, 09:31 PM

Still waiting on a Select ringside auto from Oba myself. Not holding my breath it's made but maybe the replacement value will go up if Panini ever gets back to me.

JustinVerlander07 · 03-16-2026, 09:36 PM

Really good episode of RAW and the Punk/Reigns stuff continues to be fantastic. Their promos have me dying for the match. The two genuinely come off like they hate each other.

mtr · 03-16-2026, 11:03 PM

Mania 42 card is starting to look pretty stacked. One big question though - what's the plan for Gunther? Maybe LA Knight? I can't think of another star who isn't already on the path to Mania but there's not much time left to build up a feud between them.

jmarascojr · 03-17-2026, 07:17 AM

^^^ I believe I saw something yesterday that it will be Gunther vs. Rey Mysterio, but I don't know why...

While Rey is up there and probably should retire soon, you'd think they'd build on that a little more, rather than rush it in 1-2 weeks...

Rey posted that he fractured the left and right side of his ribs. So he's out for Mania.

Next time he's healthy should probably just get his retirement match with Dom done because the poor guy just can't stay healthy anymore.

Jaypers · 03-17-2026, 08:39 AM

I get the sinking feeling that, at this point, Gunther's WM plans will be either to retire R-Truth or win the Andre Battle Royal.

I'm not a Gunther fan, but how do you have the guy who retires Cena then AJ Styles have no real road to Wrestlemania? For how good the card is shaping up to be this is kind of pathetic. (I suppose they somehow get him vs Seth if Breakker isn't ready to go?)

Jaypers · 03-17-2026, 08:46 AM

On another note, after Brock destroyed those masked guys, I sincerely hope we never see them again. Enough.

JustinVerlander07 · 03-17-2026, 08:51 AM

I thought it was weird for someone who is supposed to be a babyface telling the masked idiots all trying to attack Brock so he doesn't get to Seth.

Cracktoast · 03-17-2026, 09:33 AM

It's weird because I'm not really sure what Seth is supposed to do if Breakker isn't cleared. They made it clear Paul/Theory need to focus on the tag titles so most likely, regardless what happens next week we are getting that same match at WM. If that is the case what was the point in bringing him back this early ? Feels like a panic move by WWE at this point because the masked man gimmick was getting old and people were losing interest.

I also agree on Gunther they are just wasting the opportunity to get him over because they are too incompetent to have a storyline for him past 2-3 weeks. Most likely scenario is the Battle Royale at this point.
