    Too lazy to link to somewhere (crap day so far), but interesting news has come out regarding Adam Cole. Evidently his contract actually expired early July and he agreed to work through Summerslam before determining if he's going to re-sign.
    As I said before, what the hell is going on in WWE? Can I also note how stupid it is that WWE's contract-related drama and releases are more interesting than the shows they're producing.

    Also, Cole is in an interesting position here. He can work Summerslam weekend then turn around and debut at All Out. Or he could almost pull a Rick Rude by appearing on NXT on a Tuesday and showing up on Dynamite the next day.

    Apparently there is some bad blood between Arn and Ric Flair so that might not be happening

    And they already have too many managers (Tully, Jake, Taz, Arn). So who would he manage? i definitely dont want to see him in the ring

    Best idea for Flair I've seen is putting him with the Wingmen.

    It's either that or pair him with Darby and Sting so we can get one more Flair betrays Sting moment

    Put him with Tully and the Pinnacle for MJF to bounce off of for a while. Tully’s involvement is more so with spears and ftr

    flair would elevate MJF immediately the same way Sting does for Darby

    My friend just told me bout Flair getting let go and he brought up a good point that this another case of "The Orton effect" as in anyone who recently had an interaction/storyline with Orton gets let go.
    Think bout it: Hardy,Big Show,Henry,Christian,Fiend and now Flair Hahaha. Here's hoping when Orton returns he has a singles feud with AJ lol

    Orton's gonna make a random and never explained appearance in NXT just to RKO Adam Cole

    As far as I’m concerned they’re one and the same at this point

    Wouldn’t have surprised me if they actually did knowing how heels work; they’re used to targeting family members for extra heat. Prime example, Cena’s dad

    I wouldn’t begrudge Flair showing up on AEW as wrestling shows on Turner networks are his real home, but I can’t say I’ve actually wanted to see him on TV since at least his TNA run as it’s just kind of sad at this point.

    Plus Andrade and Ric both being there could eventually mean Charlotte as well, which I’m certainly not interested in seeing at this point regardless of how much attention it would bring to the women’s division.

    If it means me getting my wish of Charlotte no longer killing WWE’s women’s division then I’m ALL for it. Let her feud with Britt Baker DMD for all I care (and personally I’d LOVE to see Britt nail her with the Lockjaw), just stop taking title shots from women wrestlers who deserve them more

    I know they can’t use Vioer because of Orton, but there was nothing wrong with the name Piper - unless it’s because it’s too close to Roddys name
