Impact thread for January 30, 2025 - Josh/EY vs. Sinner and Saint, WES LEE vs. Ace Austin, Ali, Nemeth, more

[R-Troop]

I wouldn’t even mind if Mac himself became the leader of a new group, but I don’t want Mac to be in another tag team if that makes sense.

oh for sure. Maclin is awesome. I was saying him doing the same thing as EY mentoring a team

 

[O-Blaze]

The fact that everyone who’s crossed between NXT or TNA, who was in the other company previously, and they keep their new name, gives me hope of Nemeth being Nemeth if he enters the Rumble.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

His ring style, for instance, is drastically different.

The fact that everyone who’s crossed between NXT or TNA, who was in the other company previously, and they keep their new name, gives me hope of Nemeth being Nemeth if he enters the Rumble.

I think this one might be one of the more complicated instances because he was in WWE for so long it would make way more sense for WWE to promote him using his super established Dolph Ziggler ring name and I’m gonna be honest I know you really like Nemeth, but Dolph Ziggler is an awesome name.

That being said, I don’t think there is probably gonna have too many of the recently released WWE guys back on their TV so I don’t think Nic is actually gonna be in the Royal Rumble.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Ace is so goddamn fluid in that ring. This boy really should be one of your top guys of the company.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I didn’t wanna ever split up ABC because I just love their tag team chemistry so goddamn much but Ace really is that fucking guy and really gonna be a top single star for a really long time.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

And I know people like Ace as a heel but back when we thought ABC might do a break up angle and I was pretty sure that Bey was gonna be the heel because Ace at this point his career is just so goddamn good and over it’s like when they try to turn AJ heel. Yes AJ is awesome at being a heel but people don’t wanna boo him.

 

[R-Troop]

Ace almost didn't get over on that plancha.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

A handstand springboard backflip Pele kick is crazy.

 

[R-Troop]

And Ace Austin lost because he defended himself against interferers. Next time just let the bad guys attack you so that you win the match.

That being said, I don’t think there is probably gonna have too many of the recently released WWE guys back on their TV so I don’t think Nic is actually gonna be in the Royal Rumble.

I only think it’s possible as he talked about the partnership, and everything on a podcast, and the possibility of him being in the Rumble was talked about, and he definitely seemed to like the idea.

I also just want to see him as Nemeth in it because I want to hear the theme song on WWE PLE.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I’m really hoping Ace is on a downward trend so that way they can build him back up later but blaze should be happy that Wes got a big win tonight.

 

[O-Blaze]

I smell a six man tag in the future

 

[R-Troop]

So I have a feeling they'll definitely do a 6 man with Rascalz/Ace vs. Wed/other guys. I think they'll end up doing it on NXT TV so they can push the Chris Bey merch.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

And Ace Austin lost because he defended himself against interferers. Next time just let the bad guys attack you so that you win the match.

Ace is gonna have to develop a mean streak that way he can stay on top of things now that he doesn’t have his tag team partner to watch his back anymore.
