Yeah, a comedy stable.
Honestly the name is pretty good so I could see him kicking out Otis, Tozawa and Maxine and just keep the Creed bros
Not to mention that I think Iyo's work against Bayley was good an people did care. She was over against Bianca at Backlash last year and the match was fantastic, she was over when she won MitB and the match (particularly the ending) was fantastic and she was over when she cashed in. They just did a poor job capitalizing on it until she lost the title in the match against Bayley (which was fantastic and my match of the show). Dmg ctrl being kind a jobber faction certainly didn't help. All of the people invovled in that deserve better.
If this sucks as much as the last time they tried this storyline the overall reception is going to be so awkward. I get wanting to pay tribute to Bray's legacy but this shit was terrible while he was doing it and adding Matt Hardy into the mix doesn't really fill me with confidence this won't be even worse.
Giulia and WWE update, per Fightful:
On Monday morning, Rossy Ogawa announced his new promotion, Marigold, in a press conference. Among the talents introduced for the promotion was Giulia, who has long been expected to be a part of the launch of Rossy's venture.
Fightful Select's Corey Brennan has learned from sources close to the situation that Giulia is expected to work at least "a handful" of matches in Marigold before hopefully reporting to the WWE Performance Center in late June/early July.
Brennan has also learned from sources in NXT production and creative that while WWE could obtain the rights to Giulia's current theme music, there are currently no plans to do so at this time. As far as presentation goes, Brennan has also learned that Giulia is currently planned to keep her ring name in WWE.
As far as when fans can expect to see Giulia on NXT programming, the belief within NXT is that she will have her debut match at NXT Heatwave on July 7th, and is expected to be challenging for one of the NXT Women's Championships at the event. Brennan was also told that Giulia visited the WWE Performance Center during her recent time in the United States.

I don't think her knee is 100% healed by now. I saw some her instagram a few days ago and that scar on her knee was crazy.
Man uh, there is a surprising amount of pushback regarding Giulia and the plans for her debut from fans online. Even though I kinda expect said debut to be set up by her pinning one of said champions at a Marigold show or something.
Charlotte won't be back until at least Fall in the best case scenario. They don't let people come back early from ACL surgery. It's a 9 month minimum.
HHH has kept the Vince tradition of jobbing out an NXT contender before a title match alive.
I find odd how the second Cody became The Ace people have been shitting on him on the most trivial stuff
Is like the second someone becomes the face of the WWE fans want some reason to have them, like previously people were shitting on Roman for barely appearing, now Cody is being criticized by how he holds the title appearing too much and dont having a feud the second after he finished wm
Matt out there tweeting more Bray stuff

Oh tru, forgot she still got a long while till she's back.
Why would wwe want Matt Hardy? He can't even walk, let alone wrestle. He offers nothing unless he's bringing Jeff
All of it seems targeted about the "characters" that were intertwined in Bray Wyatt's world.
To be fair, none of the guys related to Bray Wyatt were known for their wrestling skills, that includes Bray
My only issue is that spooky matt only works when he is in his funny broken mode, and I dont even know if people want to watch that

The in Ring hability were never the problem, the problem were how to make both of guys in the ring look good. With fiend or other spooky bray matches the other guy always looked bad.
I'm staking my hot take
Uncle Howdy's spoopy shenanigans will end up better than the entire run of Bray post since he jobbed to Orton at mania (the first time for the belt, not the second as the fiend)
Exception given to the firefly funhouse which Bo could never surpass, but the rest should be a low bar to clear, as creative as Bray was...damn his booking was the drizzling shits
This visual is purest condensed wrestling, I don't care what anyone says
How can one snapshot condense all the glory of the graps so succinctly?! drama! suplexes! emotions! betrayal/heel turns! using real life marriage for heat!

Rhea's injury really highlights the lack of star power on Raw's women's side.
The talent is absolutely not in question, but so many of the women are just floating around in front of an understandably indifferent audience that you couldn't just put the belt on one of the numerous talents with good in ring skills and have them actually feel like the champ, even if a bit of build could get them there (reheat shayna!), but they're saying to crown a new champ as soon as next week? just too short notice for many of them to feel believable to me after all the time spent building Rhea.
I feel like Nia, Liv and Becky are the frontrunners, not that I want those first two, but they've at least had enough booking around them in recent times to make them more notable than say Raquel, Candice or Teagan who probably still long for their NXT days where they actually had matches longer than 5 minutes.
Or maybe an early "draft" from smackdown.
scorched earth option: Natalya, in 2024
fun fact: Trish is still on the raw roster according to WWE.com
...ONE MORE RUN?!

It was, much, much better done in TNA. WWE Broken Matt was basically trying to speedrun the greatest hits of the gimmick in a neutered form without proper build, context, or time.
It's sort of the same problem that Senile Vince main roster booking had with black and gold NXT. Entire characters with long feud histories etc would get boiled down to a single gimmick and never get a chance.
The other problem was, when they got to WWE, Matt didn't had the rights of his Broken Universe on Impact, so they couldn't take advantage of his moment and popularity at that time. When Matt got the rights he was already "Woken", so it was too late.
Yeah, that too. Because of the rights issues and whatever else, they waited way too long after the initial nostalgia run buzz faded to pull the trigger. Besides getting a neutered version of the character, they absolutely failed to take advantage of the immediate popularity - you had a gigantic Mania crowd doing a DELETE chant when they showed up and were unable to cash-in on it.
So, on NXT they just wrote Gulak out by saying No Quarter Catch Crew went to Di'Angelo Family to get rid of him.
If Dempsey's going to take over the lead of the group, he's gonna need to work on his mic skills.

Je'Von Evans coming through the crowd and jumping over Ilja in the ring was pretty cool - love how NXT does open challenges by having roster members run out and mini-brawl with the rule that the person who goes "eye to eye" is the one to accept the challenge.
Wouldn't be surprised If they make Regal Join the group as their mouthpiece.
