🔮 A separation is a minefield of messy, complicated feelings that Elina and I are both trying our best to navigate, and we are doing so with the great respect and love that we still, and will always, hold for each other,” Monfils wrote.
🔮 They didn’t stop the rest of the faction from acting and being treated like heels, even if they sort of endeared themselves to the audience while helping Will Ospreay on his quest this year to be AEW World champion.
🔮 What WWE was left with, to not completely abandon the moment, was having Nikki Bella and Paige start their own side feud, which is completely understandable and fine — even if ideally you would want both to be helping get over some of the up-and-coming talent, too.
🔮 The rest of this card was filled with the quality of wrestling you would expect from Tony Khan’s company, with some incremental story progressions, a standard debut for Ilja Dragunov and the only surprise coming in the trios championship match Here are five takeaways from WrestleDream Foundation laid
🔮 Drake Maye’s wife was a hit at a local grocery store as more than 1,000 people waited in line to meet her.
🔮 The Patriots will likely have one of their most important offensive weapons back to face the Jets.
🔮 Still, the event feels like a great opportunity to create new stars, something that has happened more often under Triple H.
