Rollins and Becky were easy Rumble picks last year. Not sure about this year.

Not sure about the men's Rumble, but in the case of the Women's Rumble, Becky might still be champ by the time it occurs. Which makes me believe one of two people will win:

1) Charlotte. She has nearly everything else to her name, a Rumble victory would just be another addition to her growing legacy.
2) Rousey. Think about it; she's made zero appearances since dropping the belt last year, and possibly the only reason Becky's held on to the title this long is because they wanna set up a rematch with Ronda.
---

Charlotte was booked to win last year until Vince changed it the week of the show
---

If Ronda is available, its Ronda.

Otherwise, its Charlotte, but I would expect Charlotte vs Bayley not Becky at this pt.

---

As far as I know she never actually got pregnant, did she?

They have her for 2 more Wrestlemanias
---

She's pretty private, but as far as I know she hasnt yeah

So for no reason, WWE debuts a new IC title:

On one hand, I do generally like the look of it.

On the more important hand, there's like half a dozen belts that desperately need new looks and this wasn't one of them.

AEW rankings!

Not a ton of shake-up.

Roman wins to set up Roman vs Brock XXIX: Bloodvengenance
---

That belt design is insane.

---

LOL redesigning IC over US or the mens Tags
---

Maybe its because the current IC design was (re)introduced by Cody and theyre that petty?
---

Or maybe because its the only belt that still had the word wrestling on it?
---

Or maybe they're leaning into the "Sami and Shin are ARTISTS!" schtick.
---

What's wrong with the redesign?

---

It's just they redesigned the best looking title to begin with

It looks alright, but the white strap is so much better.

I wish when they debuted a new IC title, it was actually just the goddamn IC Title graphic! It's still an old jpeg!

Edit: Actually, taking a moment to really look at it... it's still probably the best looking title. This looks like a Super Bowl ring. They did a really good job with it.

I think since the tag titles' new designs were introduced just a little over 3 years ago, that they're not touching those for awhile.

US is probably next

This was my first thought.

I assume it takes a bit of time to get a new design and make it so it may have been something Vince asked for when AEW was starting.

NXT UK Tag Titles are the best looking belts in all of wrestling

Started doing work for potential Match of the Decade stuff

In WWE so far this decade, there have been exactly 90 ****1/2+ matches according to Meltzer

50 on the main roster
(47 on PPV, 2 on Raw, 1 on 205 Live)

33 on NXT
(29 on Takeovers, 3 on weekly TV, 1 on Halftime Heat)

5 on NXT UK
(All on Takeovers/Specials)

2 on the Cruiserweight Classic

Can they get 10 more before 12/31 for an even 100?
---

Cody has filed for the trademark to Slamboree and SuperBrawl

Hot Dog!

Just got back from Takeover. I've pretty much lost my voice from shouting, what a fun show. People lost their shit when the 4th man came out

Brock Lesnar's daughter unsurprisingly dominate in sports.

https://twitter.com/SunDevilTFXC/status/1197967990219792385

Also unsurprisingly looks exactly like Brock.
---

She looks so much like Brock I was convinced that was a Photoshop.

Looked her up. Nope. That is her.
---

Fun Fact: I did the exact same thing and once I verified it had to post it here to get other people to have that same reaction.
---

Dominic better watch his back
---

But does she sound like him

---

Let's. Do. ThIIIssSS?
---

So did Adam Cole die again?
---

Toni storm is now official for survivor series, still not been officially pulled from the progress show in a few hours in London.
---

well they cleared it up with 2.5 hours to go

No he has to defend his title against Pete Dunne.

He may have to do both is what Jose is saying

Goddammit Fastbreak >_>

Breaking news!!!

Baby Yoda revealed as team captain for Team NXT!
---

HBK revealed the NXT Mens team

WALTER
Keith Lee
Matt Riddle
Tommaso Ciampa
Damien Priest
---

That means Reigns' vest will finally have tactical use. Unless WALTER'S hands are made of stone or steel, Reigns had the right idea.

Maybe he can chop off Gable's shitty basketball jersey and kill the gimmick dead though.

---

F for Roddys entrance...
---

I've been watching a lot of chikara lately so I keep thinking it's a tag every time somebody rolls outside

---

Freshly squeezed orange referee

---

Wears a mask only fights
Underneath stupid lights
LOOK OUT Here comes the Bray Wyatt

---

Count out in a triple threat

Ok

---

You can do it in an elimination style

Its only when its one-fall that it doesnt make sense
---

With how often triple threats have one dude dead on the outside?

---

Yeah because if you count them out, who wins?

In elimination style, each fall only determines a loser
---

Triple threats are usually only one fall, though, so that's why it's different
