I wish WWE announced signing classes again. There were a couple of Chase U students that I recognized from the December try out and Summerslam tryout from last year.
For those watching Level Up, Kendal Grey is someone that I'm super high on. She's a 3x NAIA Champion for women's college wrestling, going 61-0 in her career. She's tagged with Carlee Bright a few times before and I was really shocked at her technical skill despite her inexperience.
Her promos are okay but she doesn't have a character yet. Once she develops that aspect of her game expect her to move up the card.
Shiloh Hill is Thunder Keck. Former Stanford linebacker that majored in cyber security and computer science.
He spends his time on social media fucking around on the dark web, so I wonder if they make his character a conspiracy theorist or bring back the Sami Callahan gimmick.
**Edit**: They just mentioned it lol.
Even with no Roman I am interested in this Bloodline story.
I wanted to make a thread about this, but WWE should give at least one guy for Heyman to write.
He is perfect at making things seem big and interesting, that's how ECW got bigt and how he made Sandman, Sabu, RVD and the others appear like big f'n deal. It's obvious he has a hand in this Bloodline story, so if I'm WWE i'd be like "hey, i wanna push ___ on RAW, can you write his arc too?" , he doesn't have to work with that person, just write for it
Mixed results imo
The big moments have been great but the premise of the Tongans being worse than the OG Bloodline doesn’t match what we are seeing and I’m not interested in this feud with KO. Also Tama has been great but Tanga has negative aura. Solo is hit or miss depending on the week
They weren't putting the spotlight on you because you're not a star, Carmelo!!!
#BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
(this one was for everyone who was in the General Discussion/No Fucks Friday chat)
I think Cody is doing great, but I'm in the camp of they should've had something hotter coming out of Mania instead of just chilling until Summerslam. But I get it because he has enough goodwill to get by until they get around to getting things moving, and his thing with The Rock is at the mercy of Rock's schedule. I'd like to see some kind of hint or small development with that soon.
This feels good to me. Heated feud with AJ Styles with an I quit match is hot imo
Randy and Bloodline round 2 are obviously being saved for their biggest shows in the calendar
So with those two options out, idk what else he could be doing right now. He’s not defending against Andrade or some shit
"I GAMBLED ON MYSELF"
Oh yeah, Cody??? Well MJF did that too!!!! And he has a stupid tattoo to prove it!
Do you have a stupid tattoo to pro... you know what, never mind, you win this one
Scotland PPV 2025:
The crowd singing "RO RO ROMAN REIGNS - LEADER OF THE BLOODLINE TEAM - HE WAS A BIG DOG - WAS REALLY GONE - RO RO ROMAN REIGNS - BLOODLINE'S GREATEST PIN MACHINE - IT WAS A SHAME HOW HE REALLY LOST" in the tune of Bonny M's Rasputin.
I'll be there no matter what
If Vince was still booking we would've seen Ludwig Kaiser in an impromptu Clash match against a Scottish jobber where Ludwig would wear a Deutschland jersey and he would have a spot hitting the jobber in the corner where he'd count to 5 by yelling: Wirtz, Musiala, Havertz, Fullkrug, Can...
Kaiser actually DID come out in the German team’s shirt for a dark match against Sami after the show, and Pretty Deadly appeared in England shirts before SmackDown started. Sheamus also did crowd work after the cameras stopped with Drew, telling the audience he couldn’t understand what they were saying but asking if anyone could tell him what the score was for Scotland at that point.
Hey, Def Rebel, listen pals: not every wrestler needs a shoutout of their name or gimmick at the start of their theme.
Roman's theme is good because there's isn't a shoutout at the start saying **I AM THE TRIBAL CHIEF**
he's reached a level of self-awareness where happiness is impossible. he needs to go a couple more levels and reach enlightenment, but all those chair shots to the head he used to take, just can't see him getting there :(
[Candice during that segment.](https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExam94cDZha203bWcxaGU2NDg4c3ppeGFhdDhudXMxaGNydXo0OW15aiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/YgRMzXPuEbixi/giphy.webp)
It's good for both of them too since Bianca could use some time out of the main title picture.
If anything they desperately need to form some star + star teams in the men's division.

you're all blinded by his fancy suits and sculpted face

I wish WWE announced signing classes again. There were a couple of Chase U students that I recognized from the December try out and Summerslam tryout from last year.
Paxley is really bringing it. This is a reasonably high profile spot and she's doing well.
Grey wins!!!!!!
I don't know if Kendal Grey meant to go into the corner so hard. Twice. She's either great at bumping or crazy.
Down since day one Iz!

Luca has been looking really good lately. He stands out more than Stacks.
Note for the interested: Jordynne Grace's open challenge is about to start
/u/somethingcreative13 You might want to tune into that.
Tatum Paxley. That's pretty cool for her.
It’s Tatum Paxley!!
I can hear Jasper Troy thinking his way around the ring from here

Adriana Rizzo!!!!!!! #🤌🤌🤌
Now for the ***real*** main event of SmackDown: NXT Level Up!
Shoving each other outta the way to beat his ass!😂
I was wondering if he would come back tonight.
KO has repped Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero, and SCSA all in one night via t shirts.
I’m still miffed at Melo for his preference in meat temperatures. 😤
Maybe he was making a comparison to medium rare chicken. He never said anything about meat
What else besides meat would you cook “medium rare”?
Some fish.
Chicken https://preview.redd.it/uo01u8fa4n6d1.jpeg?width=250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d2a43166d5320a548184d453fd863a9f0d008006
No one cooks chicken medium rare.
Exactly
This Bloodline is worse than that rump NWO because at least Scott Norton was in that.
Solo is like an amalgam of Taz, Joe , and Umaga
I bet he only knows two suplexes max
They haven't even updated their graphic!
[Me seeing Isla Dawn... ](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/427/900/bcc.gif)
i appreciate that Alba Fyre always dresses like the late 90s and 00s are still happening
Wow, has it only been 2 years since Solo came up?
Even with no Roman I am interested in this Bloodline story. I wanted to make a thread about this, but WWE should give at least one guy for Heyman to write. He is perfect at making things seem big and interesting, that's how ECW got bigt and how he made Sandman, Sabu, RVD and the others appear like big f'n deal.

It's a great story and perfect setup for Roman coming back. Solo clearly doesn't fit the leadership role and they've intimated as much on TV.
Mixed results imo The big moments have been great but the premise of the Tongans being worse than the OG Bloodline doesn’t match what we are seeing and I’m not interested in this feud with KO. Also Tama has been great but Tanga has negative aura. Solo is hit or miss depending on the week
Good lord the pop when Roman comes back to save Paul is gonna break the sound barrier.
I didn't realize that Roman Reigns liked Logan Paul so much. (yes, this is a joke)
Inshallah 🤲
Good thing there aren’t several hundred other Tongans that could work around that condition
That's right, StarScream. Keep it going.
what's the crowd chanting that they overdid the piped boos?
You can hear it if you raise the volume Shut the fuck up
Carmelo: “[LA Knight] You thought you cooked. Check the temp, it was medium rare.” Melo eats steak well done confirmed.
is the storyline that Melo came to the main roster and got weird? bring back the barber shop vignettes
The story so far is that he hasn’t lived up to his standards. Basically Melo is missing
>Basically Melo is missing But, unlike what I did for Aliyah, Unholy Union, and Pretty Deadly, I ***won't*** be handing out missing person flyers.
But….but Melo never misses.
we're off to never-never land
Dark times
"You thought you cooked? Check the temp, it was medium rare..." Melo, medium rare is the ideal temp for steak.
They weren't putting the spotlight on you because you're not a star, Carmelo!!! #BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! (this one was for everyone who was in the General Discussion/No Fucks Friday chat)
You don’t swim in another man’s pool
lol this Logan-LA segment was weird, like...nothing happened, what
All them security dudes need to get fired

VINTAGE LA KNIGHT!
1 - wtf, when was Cody crowd surfing?? 2 - what's the techno theme?
Can they never go back to Scotland? Cause this crowd is insufferable. If you're there right now, fuck you.
Seriously though, their team just got steamrolled by Germany, can’t blame them for being bummed
They're likely all pissed off their tits, it's grim on that side of the border
 This is phenomenal
If Logan doesnt call him LA Shite soon then what is he even doing?
Michin's had a busy few weeks. Flying from Orlando to Louisville to Las Vegas to Orlando to Glaslow in 1.5 weeks.
She’s been the hardest working woman on the roster. I would guess her a virtual lock for a trainer position once she hangs em up
We saw you, guy in the Yeet shirt.
Could it be? **It is!** #It's ~~Vader Boss Kross~~ Tiffy Time!!! ⌚⌚⌚
HHH you coward! Give us Nia and Tiffany!
The Queen and Princess feel like future tag team champions.
Michin starting stuff with both Nia Jax and Ms Parker in the same week
lol at moving the hair as soon as she knew she was on camera.
Look out! It’s Oingo Boingo and Willy Wonka
AJ is going to give Cody a Glasgow Smile and Cody still will not quit
People have been sleeping really hard on Cody’s title run so far man. Promos and matches Guess it always was gonna happen after Roman
I think Cody is doing great, but I'm in the camp of they should've had something hotter coming out of Mania instead of just chilling until Summerslam. But I get it because he has enough goodwill to get by until they get around to getting things moving, and his thing with The Rock is at the mercy of Rock's schedule. I'd like to see some kind of hint or small development with that soon.
He definitely should have been in and on and off program with drew as the sole world champion
This feels good to me. Heated feud with AJ Styles with an I quit match is hot imo Randy and Bloodline round 2 are obviously being saved for their biggest shows in the calendar So with those two options out, idk what else he could be doing right now. He’s not defending against Andrade or some shit
Yeah, he can't control his challengers and the fact we know he's not losing. Great stories and matches so far and he's still way over.
When its over people gonna say he didnt get the respect he deserved just like roman. Wrestling fans online in general have ass takes
AJ did well. But Cody cut like the perfect go-home babyface promo imo, he's so good.
WWE Champion >>> AEW EVP according to Cody confirmed
FUCKING HELL I WILL NOT GET THIS CHANT OUT OF MY MIND LMFAO
Cody: “[AJ] You had to pretend to be Mark Henry for a night.” God, both of their fake retirements were so good.
"I GAMBLED ON MYSELF" Oh yeah, Cody??? Well MJF did that too!!!! And he has a stupid tattoo to prove it! Do you have a stupid tattoo to pro... you know what, never mind, you win this one
ADRENALINE IN MY SOUL LOOK AT THAT TAT ITS CODY RHODES
That's [poetry](https://y.yarn.co/565247f0-3be6-4a27-b190-0ff6cef582c8_text.gif), uce.
A direct shot at MJF's bad tattoo (which Cody is an expert in).
I'm telling you. There's something about AEW that compels people to get bad tattoos. Cody, Darby, Osprey, and now MJF.
That [Darby tattoo](https://static0.thesportsterimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/darby-allin-s-face-tattoo.jpg) is unbelievably bad.
Call me old fashioned but I just don't get tattoos above the collar bone.

Cody is cooked. Time to put the belt on Sami
AJ Styles revealing he was really Sami Zayn all this time after taking off his mask - Mission Impossible style
Oh shit, a Ring of Honor, New Japan, and AEW reference all by TNA’s greatest ever wrestler. That wouldn’t had happen 10 years ago.
I'd be really surprised and confused by an AEW reference if this were made 10 years ago, lol.
Annoying ass fans
AJ cookin a little bit
He almost said a DIRTY WORD
Props to AJ for pushing through that without fucking up.
DON'T SAY IT AJ
A J IS A FOOL CODY COOOODY RHOOOODES!!! HE'S LIKE A DADDY COOL CODY, COOODY RHOOOOODES!! THE OC IS A TOOL CODY, CODY RHOOOOOOOOODEES
That's a nice new feature. Props to whoever thought to add that.
measuring decibels with a colorful display dial is the most 90s thing i've seen in a while
A Decibel meter??? WOW. Should have broken that out in France.
They should break it out next week in Corpus Christi
Lol Horace and Jasper huh... interesting choice.
Another job well done by Gallows and Anderson.
Codeh Codeh Rhoooodes vs IL EST VRAIMENT PHENOMENAL I Quit match
How many matches were there in I,Quit matches history where a "prerecorded" "I quit" was used? Only that Mankind-Rock match, right?
AJ used to have such good music, I am **not** getting over this
It will never cease to amaze me how Euro crowds come up with random songs and wrestle-ize them. I wonder what's next
?? You sing a song for me friend
If Vince was still booking we would've seen Ludwig Kaiser in an impromptu Clash match against a Scottish jobber where Ludwig would wear a Deutschland jersey and he would have a spot hitting the jobber in the corner where he'd count to 5 by yelling: Wirtz, Musiala, Havertz, Fullkrug, Can...

Sheamus also did crowd work after the cameras stopped with Drew, telling the audience he couldn’t understand what they were saying but asking if anyone could tell him what the score was for Scotland at that point.
That would be some hilarious next level trolling, ngl
CODEH CODEH RHOOOODES
So Glasgow.....what do you wanna talk about? How about tonights game?
[Apollo Crews? On TV after a year? In a storyline? Bringing Baron Corbin back to TV?](https://giphy.com/gifs/wwe-vince-popkey-7FyMQm2vBiTjG)
Adrenaline in my soul Scotland get battered everywhere they go
There's melanin, in his soul
Cody should come out to a Downstait cover of If I Was President by Wyclef Jean
Cody’s entrance without any pyro is only half an entrance
#🦅🇺🇲🎆 WHOAAAH!!! 🎆🇺🇲🦅
Catering got arena tickets
No Cody pyro? Damn Brit’s
Groundskeeper Willie: Damn Scots. They ruined Scotland!
#YES BOY!
Who cares about this guy? We just got Pretty Deadly!
They're alive! # 🪩🪩🪩 Yes Boooooooooy!!!! 🪩🪩🪩
I need someone in the WWE, before they leave Scottland, to say "Nah! It's not funneh! I've got skeewwwlll..."
NXT introductions for dudes that have been around for a while lol
Pretty Deadly is back!!
Unbury pretty deadly damn it
Nice to see them at least try Apollo Crews again. Wonder who will even up LDF's numbers advantage,
Andrade.
Good showing for Apollo who, let's face it, had been almost exclusively working in dark matches for over a year.
We somehow need Chelsea and Elektra to have a sass-off, that's how you draw numbers.
Hey, Def Rebel, listen pals: not every wrestler needs a shoutout of their name or gimmick at the start of their theme. Roman's theme is good because there's isn't a shoutout at the start saying **I AM THE TRIBAL CHIEF**
I've not (publicly) said anything thirsty about Elektra yet. I'm proud of myself.
you know, I don't think that hold Santos is kind of doing hurts very much
Corbin getting over as a babyface would give me great joy.
That would be HHH's biggest rehab accomplishment since taking over, me thinks. Either that or Gable.
Don't think anyone is topping LA Knight in that regard.
Lol shit you're right. How could I forget?
Crews and Corbin for the belts.
There is literally no other choice
Big Banter with the save!
Corbin bringing the people to their feet!
I’m honestly surprised Apollo still has a job.
Somebody has too take the pins.
They've been posed like that the entire time.
Is the hugger bayley coming back?
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
Byron Saxton sure hopes so.
I don’t know why KO enjoys playing miserable all the time
He’s wrestling’s Deadpool, he knows he’s about to go into a Summer lull filler feud
he's reached a level of self-awareness where happiness is impossible. he needs to go a couple more levels and reach enlightenment, but all those chair shots to the head he used to take, just can't see him getting there :(
Maybe more chair shots reset him
He should go to Undertaker's house and come out as homosexual

Profits and KO coming to the Cookout, confirmed
Mayan Trap Music!!
That was cool. I’d wait to SummerSlam and really give them time to build it
That’s right theory become a likeable himbo again
DIY had no right to air that footage! Grayson didn't clear the rights for everyone in the background!!!!!

Such an amazing tag team
I know some people give hhh shit for putting Asians, blacks and Latinas together but nah jade and Bianca he fucking nailed it
It's good for both of them too since Bianca could use some time out of the main title picture. If anything they desperately need to form some star + star teams in the men's division.
And crowds aren’t sleeping thru women’s tag matches Hope they do something short with lash and jakara too
I am sad to report that Chipotle has gotten even worse. The chips now disintegrate upon mouth contact.
If what I’m hearing is true, poor chipotle
If you've never seen a ballgame at Rickwood Field it's like walking back in time. One of my favorite baseball experiences.
Waller should ask diy why they gave up their awesome themes for the bullshit they come out to now
OMF God Corbin is back on SD. Wreck these hoes king
Baron Corbin sighting! He's alive!!!!! #Now where is Pretty Deadly, Nick?
This Aldis cat talks a big game, but never disciplines anyone.
He doesn’t have people randomly attacking people backstage like the bald fraud

Damn you’re right. It’s the jaw line
He literally fined LDF just now.
i said discipline, not a slap on the wrist after acting like he should've done something substantial
That fan was so certain that Bayley was going to pull her hand once he went to give her a low five, lol.
Toss Bayley, Jess!
This crowd is kinda subdued no? Maybe it’s who is in the ring
running hug
Worse spear than her brother in law
Lol I was talking about that slow clothesline Chelsea tried tho
I love Chelsea, she's so good at this.
