Not really. The whole show was screwed up with travel.
2023-04-12 17:01:54 +0000 UTCSol Ruca is obviously mega talented and is going to be huge but I think she still has a touch of Bambi on ice about her sometimes, she needs more polish, I think another year in NXT and getting into proper solid feuds and she’ll be ready.

2023-04-12 15:06:30 +0000 UTCI think it might be Stratton

2023-04-11 23:45:13 +0000 UTCI agree with the woman’s MITB thing too, but I disagree with Sol Ruca, she’s just over a year started, let her develop herself in NXT for a bit longer. There’s others that deserve that call up first.

2023-04-11 23:31:04 +0000 UTCLooking back at some of the unexpected call-ups via draft (Bliss being the big one) and I'm wondering if Sol Ruca gets that spot. She's athletic but athletic AF and would bring something different for either roster. With her background she'd be great in the "last person spectacular bump off the ladder" role at MITB. Agree 100% with Sean's comment last night too. The woman's winner has got to hold the briefcase for more than 48 hours. (Hopefully Vince doesn't get to decide the winner.) ETA: Zoey and the KC/KC tag seem like other obvious call-ups. I think those 4 spots probably come from sending Brooke/Emma/Lacey/Aliyah down.

2023-04-11 23:16:39 +0000 UTC“There were several talent that were not at the show and told they weren't needed.” That doesn’t sound encouraging with all the concerns about cuts…

2023-04-11 21:43:45 +0000 UTCI was curious about the Kevin vs Solo rematch thing too, I thought we’ve seen that a lot but they work well together and wasn’t it originally Sami vs Solo? So travel issues there for sure.

2023-04-11 21:39:24 +0000 UTCI’m not too worried about Kevin v solo on repeat, I imagine it was a travel related change not knowing if sami would make it for the match
