Beaut of a show today. Cole/MJF at All In, while historically not a match I'd have had much interest watching in that slot, works perfectly given the story they're going for. I suppose this means that we'll have CM Punk's off-brand world title being a separate entity longer than All-In, which is perfectly good, that story's got some legs on it for sure. I've had an inkling this eventually ends with Cole betraying MJF and validating everything he's always felt about not trusting people, which is a compelling story, but the concept of them actually staying friends after and proving to MJF that there's good in the world is equally compelling, could be fun.
So happy for Shida, she deserves a run in front of fans and the division needs a shake-up. I wasn't sure whether they'd be willing to do it tonight so it was a pleasant surprise.
Swerve getting the promo we've all been waiting for him to get. A true mega-heel promo that makes him look legit as hell. This is how you start getting his character to the levels we've all wanted him to get to.
And a win for Trent? Over Moxley/Penta? That's a heck of a win, glad for him.
The first bits of All In hype levels are starting to set in, and that's good.
So true about the MJF/Cole partnership. I loved how, at first, it seemed like Max would be the one to turn on Cole…but now everything suggests it's going to be the other way around. Just an excellent story that almost came out of nowhere.
And I'm happy for Shida too. How cool is it that the champ who wrestled in front of no one during the pandemic will be the champ at Wembley? So well deserved.
