Is Tony Khan’s immature meltdown going to lead to Jinder being the one to take the title off of Seth? Even after firing Punk, Tony is playing 3D chess on Punk.

what was the meltdown over?

what was the meltdown over?

The USA Network twitter account made a joke about cagematch ratings (something TK's is obsessed with) on a wrestling blog's post about Jinder. TK saw it and started spiraling about people complaining about Hook getting a title match but not complaining when Jinder does, sparring with Eric Bischoff and various other people and just in general acting like a total clown. Promote your own company and stop worrying about what others are doing and saying

That was kind of my entire take away. Is he had a meltdown but the gist of it was he was promoting Raw. Sure he did toss in some promotion for AEW but he just guaranteed Jinder is going to get a face reaction.

If they have Jinder win they’ll probably have Priest cash in that same night and hold the title until WM. Remember Punk’s plan is to main event WM it doesn’t necessarily have to be against Seth they can save that match for Summerslam.

I was kind of thinking that would be a good idea after the whole TK thing. Personally I’d like Punk to prove it longer that before he gets a main event, plus it would be better for him to get screwed out of it again.

Jinder got hindered.

Apparently their has to be a new Heavyweight champion


To be honest. Put Drew vs Jey at Rumble for WHC

I have no doubt we’ll see Priest cash in, but depending on the severity, he could be back well before Wrestlemania.

To be honest. Fuck that shit....

Jey vs McIntyre for the WHC at Rumble.

Give McIntyre spot in the Rumble to a legend. IMO Scotty Steiner.

But I agree with you Duffers. Cash in and I think More Cleveland.

If they go that route I‘d rather see McIntyre vs Sami but if I had to guess and Seth doesn’t make it back I’d put money on Drew vs Punk.

I wouldn't mind that too.

I think more Summerslam for him getting better

You have to cash in.

I mean Jesus he’s gonna be out probably around 6 weeks.

And priest is running out of time anyway

I mean Priest has until July, so not really.

Q has a point @Duffman . This is a good opportunity....

I would have Sami Question it, match at RR.

Sami wins ( for a couple minutes) second Ref comes in and Questions the validity of it, JD or turth hit Priest, and Priest wins quickly after Restart.

This for two reasons:

-More heel heat for Judgement day.

-Good Character depth for Sami

It’s a tough spot for everyone cause seth could be healthy before mania, but even if not

A transitional champion going into mania is rough

Although they did it with Goldberg in 2020

Maybe not. Recovery time, even with surgery, is like 4 to 8 weeks. Mania is something like 11 or 12 weeks away. But he needs to make a decision like right now. If he delays surgery and has a set back, he's missing Wrestlemania for sure

True but still, that Monthly Defense thing..............

The Reason i say it's good for Sami is it gives Sami's character different pathes.

-He could turn heel, just for chasing that title
- He could stay face and say he needs that vaildation for his sacrifies,,,,,,,,,,,,

etc.

Meh

I’m not a Sami fan

It’s as weak as when they put it on foley

Who was a mid card guy

I realize the rules were always that he had a year to cash in. But the way they no longer require belts to be defended every 30 days, you might think they thinik we forgot about it. I was actually thinking they were going to use this to finally disband judgement day. They say rhea is going face so she will turn on Priest, but they have another money in the bank and Fin or Dominic win, it could add an angle to one cash in then the other.

If Seth keeps the title injured, (why not? Roman goes 6 months between matches) he can go after Reigns or whoever wins this 4 way deal, or maybe take the US belt from logan who never defended it either.

To me it seems they will run the angle of Seth relinquishing the title so he can say he was never beat or lost it, or make Priest the mega heel and run the knee situation into the ground with a relentless attack.
