Rey Fenix is in the TNT match

Rey Fenix is in the TNT match

He earned a title match vs. Ospreay next week but not the ladder match at the PPV (not yet at least).

He earned a title match vs. Ospreay next week but not the ladder match at the PPV (not yet at least).

For some reason I thought his match on Rampage this past Friday was a qualifier match.

This is a pretty significant development in the history of Mexican wrestling

But it is Dave reporting it so…

They could heat up this Mina vs. Storm feud a bit by throwing in some Sophie’s Choice material and have Mariah May be the ref

Looks like Moxley is going to take the L at Forbidden Door

ZSJ shooting on Jim Cornette

Wonder if Perry is the one challenging Cobb and he wins it, considering Naito taking the belt back seems to be the most likely scenario (though I still think it's the wrong move).

Pretty sure Perry is going to be in the TNT title match

I’m not saying AEW is stealing ideas from me and TSC but 13 days ago I said the above and look what happens tonight:

Mariah May “refs” the contract signing and she is told she has to make a choice between Toni and Mina.
