----------------

Rumoured for the show is the finals of the King & Queen of the Ring tournaments. Also suspect we will get Lashley/Goldberg rematch now there's no title involved.​

 

[Chris]

They def wanna do Goldberg/Lashley here I'd bet but I'm not sure if he'd he ready bc of the surgery, haven't heard anything about that tho

 

[Dale]

I didn't even know there was a surgery

 

[Chris]

Yeah the knee thing was legit lol they knew about it before and worked it into an angle for the match I read

 

[Dale]

Guess we'll do Goldberg Jr vs Lashley instead then

 

[O-Blaze]

They do that and I’ll watch to watch Lashley squash the little punk.

And people say this dude is AEW biased when he literally just tweets numbers lmaoooo side note: love his Twitter bc its mostly just numbers

Also this is one of the reasons the pandemic was especially scary for WWE I think bc they still have their TV deals pandemic or no but not getting that Saudi money they were planning probably wrecked their budget. Obviously they were in no danger but they don't seem to be the best at planning so that could not have helped lmao

Creative is the only thing they don't plan....when it comes down to budget and profits, they obviously playing 4D chess.

 

[Dale]

I'd love to know how much they make off of each of those events though, bet the number is crazy. Bet they don't pay for the arena or the hotels or anything like that.

 

[O-Blaze]

 

[Dale]

Fuck yeah. Buildup should be damn good for that aswell with the stories intertwining.

 

[Buffy]

I will have to break my word on this one since I am curious on what story those three will tell in the ring.

 

[Deezy]

Blood money still?

 

[Deezy]

Only booked because Becky is called The Man and they thought a Man was going to teach these two underdressed floozy women a lesson.
