Optics can be twisted to look bad but I think the more Jey and others talk about how they avoided the Tongans and Jacob for so long is great to put over why they're so loyal to Solo. In kayfabe he's their first in with WWE after being ignored by the others

It's nuanced long-term story building. Crazy as we hadn't really had a lot of it.

there's been imperfect instances over the years but this angle has really been the best examples of it like ever tbh. The best example was Sami/Jey cumulating in the Royal rumble turn and Jey walkout, Jey walking out that night was just as big to me as the Sami turn, it was the most "cinema" we've ever had

I can't believe they did this. But I can't wait to see it.

Yeah I'm not really a fan of breaking it like that but tbh barely any of the live crowd will know and they're already expecting them anyway so I can't be too mad. Just not what I'd have done

Bron gets his rematch on Monday no? I'm thinking the Bloodline shows up and that is what gets Jey with Roman/Jimmy. Unless Jimmy and/or Roman show up Monday too

I'm thinking they did that because they are changing the announced match but you're right most of the crown knows not who they are.

I didn't realize the match was actually changed until just now lol but I think it's good timing anecdotally bc it won't hurt the pop for reasons said and anyone not going to the show could theoretically see it and tune in

But just as a plugged in fan that sees everything idc if it's smart, surprises are better even when I expect them bc they're spoiled surprises lol
