CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns

As soon as Punk brought up Roman's dad, I was like, okay, the air just changed. Everything just changed.

Dave LaGreca

As a fan, I was offended. How do I cheer CM Punk now after he just took a dig at one of the greatest of all time in Sika?

Jade vs. Rhea Ripley feud

Tiffany took a dig not at Charlotte Flair, but Ashley Flair, the real person. Jade is doing the same thing with Rhea Ripley. It definitely felt personal.

Dave LaGreca

I don't want to see a match with two women that they just love each other and think that they're the greatest thing ever. That doesn't sell a fight to me.

Natty Neidhart

The Inspiration's AEW debut

It seemed to me like it was their last day in the company. I don't know how to explain it, but it was like, oh, they signed a one-month contract with AEW and then this was their match.

Nick Nemeth

If this is your basically debut match on television on Dynamite for AEW and that's what happens, I can't say where they would possibly go in the future from that.

Backstage booking/time constraints

I've gone to Vince when I watched a pay-per-view match with Kevin Owens. We finally had a buildup... it gets cut to 12. It gets cut to eight. We're on deck, it gets cut in general. It's a pay-per-view match. And I go, boss, we built a story here.

Nick Nemeth

I've been to a fault. I've been like, I got it. Let's do it. I got you. Don't worry about it. And also, there's times where you're just told that that's the deal.

Nick Nemeth

Randy Orton's career

If Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42 wins this championship, he's now a 15-time world champion. He's right up against making history in the WWE.

Dave LaGreca

Thunder Rosa vs. Tekla

I wish they gave this a little bit more meat on the bone. I wish they would have spread this out a little bit more. I think this could have been a really good story.
