I'll say it. Julia and Brody are the faces of the House of Black, not Malakai. He's done nothing for me.
- A friend in the former Going in Raw Discord just suggested that Malakai being the one to mist Julia way back when essentially made her the leader of the group. His mist is so pure and all corrupting that Julia became stronger than Malakai.
  
  That'll be my head canon going forward
  
  That last promo was basically that, and it was awesome!
  
  Makes sense for me Kayfabe wise.
- I wouldn't disagree! I think HoB can go forward without Malakai

I miss Skye Blue
- Hopefully she'll heal up from that ankle injury and be back soon!
- Yessss. And Ruby 😭
  
  I sometimes wonder if Ruby is ever coming back and that makes me sad

Harley Cameron drop the album, pls
- For real, Mercedes was grooving for a minute lol.

And there it is. Bye bye Malakai.
- Hope he finds success where he goes

No leaders! No masters! No gods!

Oh god, Hayter/Hart III is gonna be amazing.

“When you land flapjack jones like that, it’s tough.” - Taz

Kenny Omega stop being adorable challenge.. impossible

😮‍💨 Prince Nana contemplating life rn

😭😭 We don't need to start with Kenny
Battle Cry is back!
Ospreay and Omega are friends too!
And Kenny is talking his shit calling himself the number one, if he's truly number one then he should face Mox for the World title
- He's got to eventually!

Hayter coming out and I'm reminded of a month ago arguing on Reddit with this anthropomorphic turdblossom who was trying to say that Hayter coming back in 70s inspired attire constitutes a whole gimmick change and not 'the same woman doing the same gimmick but just changing up her look and attire' and I think about that a lot when it comes to how stupid the average nonfunctional mammal is.
Anywho~
- Reminds me of a similar brain dead discussion I had with someone back when Punk changed his entrance music to Cult of Personality, who got upset because they assumed this meant Punk was doing an '80s gimmick and Punk didn't change any of his attire to be more 80s or anything.
  Some wrestling fans are fucking stupid, I don't know what to tell you
  
  Amen.

Rock and Roll has died 😔
- It's with disco now

I dont see how Private Party wins this.
- Isiah walking out to the ring with that "I don't wanna be here tonight" look in his face just letting everyone know they're droppin the titles lol
- Shenanigans?

Nice of Hangman to wait for MJF to finish!

Kenny and Will vs The Don Callis Family is gonna be a heck of a match.

I don't have healthy sleeping habits - Mox

Maybe the Hangman redemption arc starts with knocking MJF down a few pegs
- Knowing Hangman it'll be six feet of pegs down
  
  While the pegs are on fire.

Jeff Jarret so hot right now

The Sting in the front row was perfect. Like I thought that could have been Sting lol.
Also the way Omega and Osprey back flipped was amazing. I had to drag my wife back into the room and rewind to show her that.. and also when Taz referred to Brian Cage as shirtless.

This is such a hot start! Only 40 mins in and we had 2 banger matches, Wheeler Yuta’s bangs, Australians, and hurt people hurting people. I love this shit.
- Those bangs were epic lol

Julia’s presentation is S-tier
- Came out in Warlock raid armor
  
  Specifically, warlock tier 1 felheart armour.

Mercedes sucks for saying no after that song
- She didn’t say no, she said “nar”
  
  Touché!

Can…can Claudio give away Mox’s title shots?
- If Tony says no I'm pretty sure he's going to eat an upppercut. So maybe?
  
  I really hope Claudio just rips Jeff’s soul from his body. There’s no reason he should be beating a recent World Champion in 2025.
- Battle of the bookers, Tony '8-Balls by 4pm' Khan vs Claudio 'Big Dick Tony' Castagnoli

CD is using physchological warfare against Hangman

Hanger did nothing wrong
- Just a man trying to keep his family safe

Great now we can start edging to Hangman/MJF
- I do that every day anyways!
  
  Then you got new source material

Yuta is me when I have to listen to Mox do a ramble-promo for the 2957th time without saying anything new/
- Oh lord he's monologuing again

Oh boy here I go killing again!

I would love it if Swerve and AR Fox teamed up even though Swerve was a massive dick to Fox

Private Party losing the mass battle in this match lol

Oh no
Harley is just as insane as Toni
- It's a perfect match!
- Renee: "I didn't get a word of that."
  It's ok Renee, we understood all the parts that mattered!

You know things are serious when Nana doesn't have coffee nor looks at the camera

I come in a little late and it's already chaos

Poor Private Party

Kudos to PP they sold their asses off
The Hurt Syndicate definitely delivered on hurting people
- PP are work horses that deserve all the kudos!
  
  Definitely. I still feel their run was lackluster (through no fault of their own) but they never put on a bad match.

..was Ricochet wearing a sequinned turtleneck or did I hallucinate that?

~~I'm going to be downloading/installing Rebirth on my pc as I watch this after work~~, after that, y'all might not see me for a while. 😅
I forgot that Steam downloads don't go live until 10am Pacific. So, I'm going to bed as soon as I finish Dynamite. Foley as my witness, I will play Rebirth today!
- Light the beacons if you require aid lol

It really is nice of AEW to help me to care less and less about Big Bill and Whatever-the-fuck-the-other-guys-name-was by having them show up in a useless Jericho promo every goddamned episode.
- I get his name is known, but why anyone would want to be attached to Jericho right now is beyond me
