Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre booking

The second that Nick Aldis booked this last Saturday night, I'm like, well, Cody's winning. Cody's clearly winning the WWE Championship.

Rick Cicino

WrestleMania main event booking

This should be a massive melee. You have Drew, you have Jacob, you have Nick Aldis say, 'All right, Drew, screw it, you're going to defend the WWE Championship in a Gauntlet match at WrestleMania.'

Cresta Star

WrestleMania booking philosophy

If you end up with a multi-man match at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship, what was the point of the Royal Rumble? What was the point of the Elimination Chamber?

Cresta Star

WrestleMania card size

There are reports about how there could be six women's matches on the show this year, which I would be head over heels for.

Rick Cicino

Rhea Ripley vs. Jade Cargill

If she [Jade Cargill] is not [ready] and Jade wins and Jade goes over Rhea, I'm going to steal an SB3 line here: And then what? Who's next?

Cresta Star

WrestleMania main event speculation

Are we already throwing that out the door like it's just automatically going to be CM Punk and Roman Reigns on night two and Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes on night one?

Rick Cicino

WrestleMania match ideas

I'm saying a six-team TLC match [for the Women's Tag Team titles]. I am going to be screaming that from the heavens until they either book the damn thing or they book something else.

Rick Cicino

Tag Team title predictions

I think that as dumb as this sounds, Damian Priest and R-Truth are going to win the tag team titles from the MFT thanks to the Wyatt Six.

Rick Cicino

Women's United States Championship status

The Women's United States Championship has never been defended on a PLE ever, period, end of sentence. Not once.

Cresta Star

Motor City Machine Guns booking

I'm a lady of the cloth and I'm calm, but I'm upset. The only time I see Motor City Machine Guns is around a goddamn box, and then they get fleeced in the first round?
