re: WWE Smackdown/AEW Rampage Thread: Friday Night Street Fight Edition

It sounds like Kross was brought in to be inserted into the match with McIntyre for one of Roman's belts at USA's behest. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out. It could also explain the women's tag tournament starting on there as well as RAW getting Team Bayley.

It's interesting how a week ago we were HOPING to see changes by HHH but were bracing for the letdown. I don't think any of us could have predicted just how much things would change over the next 7 days. I strongly believe Sasha & Naomi are back by this time next week.

Bron is fortunate that he wasn't called up by Vince. HHH & HBK were good at building indestructible champions who lost as part of the process of being called up. If HBK is running things like NXT Black & Gold he's probably called up the night after Mania after dropping the belt to a rebuilt Roderick Strong.

Unmentioned by anyone has been Mandy Rose's request to go back to the main roster. Perhaps they take the TA stable to the main roster (explains why they lost the belts) and the women's title is decided by a tournament at a NXT Black & Gold Takeover. They would bring the same vibes Absolution brought.
