2023 Wrestling Predictions with Oli Davis And Luke Owen! 

“Who else is gonna beat her for the title, it may as well be Charlotte” aged quite well

Another prediction: AEW All Out will become a 2 night event, with the saturday reviving the 'All In' branding. This will become the one big annual AEWxRoH crossover show, and effectively become AEW/RoH's equivalent to Wrestlemania or Wrestle Kingdom. While the weekend will only be branded as an 'AEWxRoH" event, there will be representation from some (but not all) of AEW's key partners (AAA, NJPW/Stardom, Impact, and DDT/NOAH/TJPW) Third and final prediction: The AEWxAAA partnership will completely fall apart. While nothing will happen between AEW and CMLL in 2023, there will be rumours towards the end of the year that two two promotions are in discussions with each other.

Luke’s reaction to 13:30 is priceless 😂

At forbidden door 2. It will be AEW vs NJPW vs WWE

Jericho already signed a new deal till 2025. Also i feel like Yuta, Garcia and Moriarty will have at least signed 3-5 year deals so they won't be available in 2023 and no one cares about Pillman jr because he sucks.

Sheamus wins the IC title from Gunther in a 5* match at a PLE in 2023, which closes the show. The show closes with Sheamus really emotional, maybe even saying “thank you” on the mic. The next Friday on Smackdown, Sheamus announces his retirement, and hands the title to the re-re-named Pete Dunne.

Here's a prediction: If they compete this year, Adam and Andy will once again win the Jamble and main event WrestleJamia, Thrice in a Lifetime!!!

Jericho resigned until 2025. Come on guys, you're a wrestling news channel. You should know this!

I don't even care about subscriptions at this point. I just want to sleep in 2023 -- SRS

Kenny Omega winning the G1 and then wrestling Okada for the belt at winter is coming is such a Denise prediction

AEW and WWE make a deal for world champ MJF to appear on an episode of RAW to have a promo with world champ Cody Rhodes as part of the “Bidding War” storyline.

Always look forward to this annual video. It's such a fun discussion

Luke and Oli together on screen doesn't happen enough on a non review style show, looking forward to this even tho not been listening much recently 😁

My predictions of pro wrestling in 2023: *(KOTA IBUSHI & KENNY OMEGA) GOLDEN LOVERS REUNITE in AEW *MJF will be AEW WORLD CHAMPION throught year & will be no. 1 in PWI ranking *GUNTHER VS BROCK LESNAR (WRESTLEMANIA or SUMMERSLAM) *SARAYA became AEW WOMENS CHAMPION either at D.O.N or ALL OUT *JOHN MOXLEY turned heel *BRON BREAKER wins either IC or US championship *NICK ALDIS ALL ELITE *ROMAN REIGNS UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP eneded *STING & EDGE retires

Can’t believe this is my first time commenting but I’ve seen no one else mention it. Jericho signed a new deal in early October through 2025. It was in Variety and everything.

I want to see Luke's Winter is Coming.

If 2022 was anything to go by, wrestling in 2023 should be a wild, crazy, thrill ride with plenty of highs and lows. Can’t wait personally because if there’s one thing that makes wrestling suck, it’s when it’s boring and predictable. AEW fighting back from a rough period. HHH making WWE more and more his vision. New Japan seeming poised for a resurgence. Stardom continuing to grow and show why women’s wrestling is so great. Indies hopefully continuing to flourish. Bring it on!

Chris Jericho has already Re-signed Luke

Positive Prediction: Wrestling will have its 3rd biggest boom period (Golden Era and Attitude Era type boom period) and channels like Wrestletalk and Going in Raw will cross huge subscriber milestones. (Hopefully!)

That third hour of Raw is never going away. A bad third hour rating is still almost double the average primetime ratings that USA normally gets. USA loves that third hour. USA is down 13% year over year in the ratings. Except when it comes to Raw. They are slightly up. Same with AEW. TBS is down 15%. AEW has been up 3% in the overall rating and down 2% in the demo. Basically steady. Both companies are going to get a pile of money thrown at them when negotiations begin. Edit: What killed WCW was that Turner owned WCW. So, when it was canceled there was nobody to try and take it to other networks. AEW is not owned by Turner. They can negotiate with other networks.

Instead of Rampage being cancelled, I could see Dark and Dark: Elevation might merge into one next style development space. And yes, I know this is exactly what happened with NXT and NXT UK but I still think it's a good idea!!

"Remember what killed WCW was a changing of power in the TV Networks". True, but one key difference needs to be reminded of: said TV Network, Time Warner, *owned* WCW. They bought WCW from Ted Turner. He was still the major shareholder until the fusion between AOL and Time Warner, *that's* what killed WCW. AOL Time Warner decided they didn't want to do anything with it anymore and they sold it, and Vince McMahon bought it. Warner Bros. Discover *does not own AEW* . Tony Khan does, and the Khan family is pretty damn rich.

This relates to something else I just commented: I think the notion of the champion leading a company is 100% a great trope, but I think the idea of the champion driving ratings is a relic that bookers still cling to from a bygone era. The fact that Hangman Page and Punk drew the same ratings is clear enough: it's about the shows in totality, not who's headlining them.

Always love these Wrestetalk Year predictions videos so excited

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’d love if Rhea and Dom won the titles 😂😂😂. Even the women’s tag belts

I predict Tony Kahn will book a worked "Montreal Screwjob" angle to stop MJF before the bidding war of 2024

When Luke talks about Rampage doing about what was originally expected, but often lower, where is he getting those figures? Is he just using the network's original hopes for Dynamite? Which is on prime time on Wednesday? When the guys analyse ratings it rarely comes across like they know what they're talking about.

Instead of the CM Punk recreation by MJF, I think Tony Khan is gonna do his own version of the Montreal Screwjob. Bret was leaving and had the title, so is MJF.

Brian Pillman Jr as an NXT main eventer would be good for sure!

2023 prediction- Dustin Rhodes will have his last match in aew and it will be an AEW championship match at a TV special where he will tap out to MJF, note this will not be his retirement match as he will save that for cody

I TOLD PPL.... if you go back and look at my comments on Wrestle Talk's Punk Videos... I've said it many times... PUNK IS NOT LEAVING AEW... he is fully healing

If Luke's final prediction happens in the way he laid it out, it wouldn't work in WWE's favor. As he said, with it being on USA network, the episodes would be available immediately rather than after 30 days (assuming that's true and how it would work). So anyone who cares about watching both shows is simply going to watch Dynamite live, then catch Smackdown on Peacock later. Having SD be readily available on Peacock and ALSO attempting to go head-to-head just doesn't make any logical sense.

-Sting, Edge, Minoru Suzuki, & Chris Jericho will all retire this year. -MJF’s reign will end after Reigns’s ended. -Oli continues to be a WWE shill, and doesn’t give a Dynamite 5/5 all year -AAA fail to get their WWE deal, and AEW stop working for them for CMLL. -Eddie Kingston will beat MJF for the AEW World Championship at AEW Grand Slam -CM Punk does not return to AEW, his contract is bought out. -WWE has their programming change to TV-14 like previously planned. and lastly: Miro actually returns to TV and has a match with MJF on a TV special episode. (Something that admittedly seems impossible nowadays)

AEW Prediction: The fans are going to get fully behind Ricky Starks as the one to overthrow MJF, and become their hottest baby face just like Brian was during the "Yes" Movement. WWE Prediction: Bron will be called up to the Main Roster, and will be given a Roman Reigns 2015 push.

My crazy prediction: NBC Universal makes a huge offer to get Smackdown back on the USA network and air it on Wednesdays to go head to head with AEW. Then, Fox outbids Warner (due to their merger with Discovery) and puts AEW on Fridays in Smackdown's place but pays less than what they were paying for Smackdown and Rampage moves to FX1 (hopefully in a better timeslot).

Oli. Please understand how TV deals work, particularly what WBD is doing. They are doubling down on AEW because they don't have to produce it. This has been stated repeatedly by literally everyone in the know. WCW's fall due to change in management was because the network OWNED and PAYED FOR the promotion, they were on the hook for all of WCW's expenses. WBD/AEW relationship is completely different. WTF are you talking about!?

2023 AEW BINGO SHEET: - MJF to be champ all year. - Punk to return. BONUS: align with MJF. - Swerve to win a title and be a top heel. - Sasha Banks to debut and beat Jade at Revolution. - HOB to be trios champs. - Undisputed Elite to reform. - Miro, Andrade or FTR to go back to WWE. - Mox to turn heel. - MJF vs Okada at FD 2.

WWE Undisputed Champion: Roman Reigns Intercontinental Champion Either Solo Sikoa or GUNTHER US Champion: AJ Styles TAG CHAMPS: KO AND ZAYN Undisputed Womens Champ: Asuka NXT CHAMP: Carmelo Hayes NXT WOMENS CHAMP: Jacy Jayne NXT TAG CHAMPS: The Creed Brothers AEW CHAMP: MJF AEW WOMENS CHAMP: Ruby Soho AEW TAG CHAMPS: The Acclaimed TNT CHAMPION: Bryan Danielson Wrestling Returns: Rikishi The Rock For Bloodline Storyline Released: Drew Gulak, Tozawa, Reginald

33:32 if we include non AEW championships which changed hands on AEW shows, not including ROH shows, in 2022: 5x AEW world title changes 6x TNT title changes 4x AEW Tag title changes 1x Trios title changes (2 if you include inaugural champs) 3x Women’s title changes 1x All Atlantic title change (2 if you include inaugural champ) 1x IWGP Tag title 1x ROH world title 1x ROH women’s title 1x ROH Pure title Totalling 24 (26 if you include inaugural trios and all Atlantic) title changes on AEW TV and PPV in 2022, so 35 is not entirely out of the question.

The new radicals 🤣🤣🤣. Please don't disrespect wrestling legends by comparing these guys.

Luke’s last one makes no sense. It’s been reported that fox is happy with where SmackDown is. I mean this was 6 months ago. No one talked about it because the Vince stuff was going on. I think it’s more likely the universal offers nbc then fox not offer

Luke Owen Becky lynch Charlotte flair liv Morgan join ruby soho saraya take care problem of toni storm

ANOTHER VIDEO TO HATE ON AEW???

JERICHO already resigned with aew...how you two don't know that blows my mind

Rhea Ripley will book an intergender match against possibly Karl Anderson. There will be an injury angle, and Dominic Mysterio will fill in. So in an interview, on live tv, we'll hear Dominic say the phrase, "I'll be subbing for Rhea Ripley tonight."

Does nobody remember Jericho extended his deal in October for 3 years?

They would never cut Raw to 2hrs. that’s an extra 60minutes to run advertising

The Elite vs CM FTR for the trio titles will main event of All Out 2023. There will be a spot in the match where Punk bites Kenny Omega.

WWE will have more problems with women wrestlers making more money from onlyfans type sites.

Luke makes a prediction without making a prediction hahah who else is going to be Rhonda for the tittle 😂

Jericho just signed this year for a long term contract.

My predictions, Roman will retire, Omega v Okada V will happen and CM Punk v MJF.

Wild Prediction 1: Dustin Rhodes will win the NWA Championship next year and also retire

36:52 Replace WWE with AEW and that's pretty much what happened.

Watching this new years eve a d Charlotte ronda happened again lol

9:25 well that aged well less than 24 hours later.

hello i wish everyone in the comments a happy new year. 2 hour raw??? hmmm

Although a very silly prediction, I appreciate you guys mentioning it on the podcast. Literally made my morning a lot better today. Much love! ✊ Edit - 36:02

36:52, this guy may know something we don't.

Also I think regal will only get Brian Pillman and Lee Moriarty since Yuta and Garica seemed to be ingrained into BCC, JAS, and ROH.

1-mjf vacated title due to injury/unforseen circumstances 2- John moxley wins tag title with (blk pool combat club) 3- Bray Wyatt vs the fiend( someone dressed as the fiend) 4- edge will win the US championship 5- FTR AND PUNK WIN TRIOS TITLES Edit: making these predictions before I watch the video.

If AEW changes networks…I can see the All-Atlantic and TNT titles being renamed to International and Television titles

I think Punk returns and continues to exist in a separate bubble from The Elite. Both parties were already doing that anyways before the falling out.

Edit to Oli's idea: CM Punk returns to vignette of alllllllll the negative things that have been said about him instead of the "devils greatest trick" quote WITH a new character entirely.

Jericho signed an extension I thought

I thought that if Fox wants to keep wrestling on their network, they can very easily make a deal with AEW. Good wrestling with big names for less money than what WWE costs.

Charlotte just beat Ronda for the SmackDown Women’s Title on todays SmackDown lol

WB has Superman. Discovery has Guy Fieri.

I have 2, with one being a back up if the first fails. Firstly, CM Punk and FTR vs The Elite is the biggest feud of the summer. Failing that, my second prediction is CM Punk signs with New Japan

Oli's wwe cinematic universe idea is essentially what IDW did with the wwe comics. They wrote kayfabe stories of like the in betweens of feuds. Like I remember one was explaining the formation of Paige with Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose. That formed because originally Paige wanted each of the members of what became the Riott squadd she hyped them up said how great they were... and all three of them beat up Paige and agreed they should be a group. So movie wise it could be fun for some Dexter Lumis immediately comes to mind that could be fun, Sarray and her sailor moon esque transformation could be another fun one.

My big out-of-this world prediction is that FTR will drop the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships to the OC while still under contract to WWE and show up on WWE television with the belts at some point.

26:25 as a Brit that moved to Sweden.. you lost me as soon as you said Sweden! I swear I’m the only one in the whole country that likes wrestling! When I 1st moved to Sweden I found a Swedish cometary on EuroSport of week old wrestling. I thought “good way to learn the language” every move was an axe handle or a elbow drop! Even a leg drop was a elbow drop!!!

My predictions for 2023. - Sarray wins the AEW Women's Championship at some point in the year. - Vince McMahon is brought back as an on-screen character. - WWE will have some involvement at the Forbidden Door show between New Japan and AEW. - Roman Reigns loses the WWE Championship, but continues his run as Universal Championship until Wrestlemania 40 next year. - CM Punk returns to WWE with FTR to feud with The Bloodline. - Tommaso Ciampa returns from his injury and slowly reforms DIY with Johnny Gargano. - Ronda Rousey leaves WWE after Wrestlemania 39 and retires from wrestling for good. - WWE starts their global expansion project with NXT, starting south of the border with NXT Mexico and pushes Dragon Lee as the top guy. - The Bloodline keeps Sami Zayn in the fold, but decides to boot out Jey Uso instead. This picks back up the feud between Jey and Roman that started back in 2020. - Ric Flair has another match, because that old man doesn't know the meaning of retirement.

25:10 if Punk comes back it’s got to be Omega!!!

Here goes:- 1. Agreeing with Luke, I think MJF remains AEW world champion for the entirety of 2023, does the CM Punk MITB 2011 thing with TK, but instead of Wardlow he'll face either Mox or Kenny at Winter Is Coming 2. Fox does not renew Smackdown, but instead of going to USA, it goes to NBC and remains on Friday 3. Mercedes/Sasha Banks actually signs for AEW and is the catalyst for their women's revolution 4. Dragon Lee almost single handedly makes NXT must see again (because I have that much faith in him) 5. Vince goes to trial following all of the allegations, and eventually settles out of court, but the settlements are so large that the only way for him to get that kind of money is for him to sell most if not all of his WWE stake 6. Billy Corgan somehow convinces Hulk Hogan to join NWA, and that product essentially becomes Immortal era TNA, only with a lower budget and way less star power

I think if Punk did come back AEW will risk losing the bucks ans jenny. Is it worth it? Punk does bring people in and put eyes on your show. It is a hard one

My 5 Bold predictions for 2023: 1)AEW will book "3 stages of Hell" - type match. Witch ends after 2 stages (2-0). 2)Jamie Hayter vs Jade Cargill will Main event a AEW PPV. 3)Sami Zayn still will be in Bloodline after 1st Title Match against Roman Reigns for Undisputed WWE Universal championship 4)Man's Royal Rumble Winner Challenges NXT Men's World champion for Title on WM XXXIX 5) 2 of 8 this people at least will Compete in 30-Men (Or Female) Royal Rumble match: Linda McMahon, Shane McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Eric Bischoff, Bad Bunny, Logan Paul, Johnny Knoxville, Snooki.

Sasha Banks and Naomi will come back before the Rumble and Banks will pull a Shawn Michaels and betray Naomi. Naomi gets her revenge at the Rumble by eliminating Sasha.

Evolution 2 Paperview and a midcard women's title will be introduced in WWE Kota Ibushi Signing with WWE Miro, FTR returning to WWE Golberg signs with AEW and wrestles Wardlow The Hardy Boyz wrestles Retirement match at AEW PPV Kenny Omega signs a 1 year contract extension with AEW

Predictions : WWE 1. Roman Reigns is losing 1 of his belts in Wrestlemania 2. Riddle will be release 3. Roddy Strong finally gets called up to the main roster 4. Rush & Andrade will get out of their contracts from AEW & joins Dragon Lee in WWE to reunite their faction AEW - 1. MJF will have a faction that will help him (but he's not in it) 2. Serena Deep will be woman's champion 3. Blackpool combat club disbanded (Mox turns heel) 4. Edge will be All Elite & reunite with Christian Hot takes : TNA & NWA will be a 1 company again like the old days.. NWA/TNA

CM Punk will in fact return to AEW and start a feud with The Elite All Out 2023 will be head in the Jacksonville Jaguars stadium and be main evented by Punk vs Omega Sasha Banks will sign with AEW and will debut on the 11th January. She will be both AEW Women’s World Champion and IWGP Women’s Champion. She doesn’t have a NJPW deal, she has a Bushi Road deal meaning she would work either NJPW or Stardom Kota Ibushi will sign with AEW and reform the Golden Elite. We get Golden Lovers vs FTR MJF will I’m fact be leaving AEW and going to WWE and a deal will be need made where Paul Heyman can appear on a Dynamite to hand MJF his WWE contract which he sings on the AEW title. January 1st 2024 is a I believe Monday and the year will start with MJF appearing on the show with the AEW title Cody Rhodes will end Roman’s reign at WrestleMaina 39. Gunther will win King Of The Ring in October and challenge Cody at Survivor Series and beat him. Gunther will become the longest reigning IC Champion of all time and eventually loose to Sheamus NWA will fold Nick Aldis will sign with WWE and be on Smackdown WWE TV right rumours will continue with Smackdown going back to USA Network DIY vs Owens and Zayn for the tag titles will be WWE’s match of the year

My predictions ROH becomes the developmental brand for AEW WWE will have a forbidden door entrant in the men's royal rumble The WWE and Universal Championships will be split up with the WWE Championship being on RAW and the Universal Championship being on SmackDown The ROH World Television and AEW TNT Championships will be unified, being called the AEW X ROH World Television Championship and the title will float between AEW and ROH The AEW and ROH 6 Man tag team championships will be unified calling it the AEW X ROH World 6 Man Tag Team Championships and the belts will float between AEW and ROH John Cena will have one last run in WWE, fueds will Austin Theroy in a losing effort, then goes after the WWE Championship trying to break Ric Flair's 16 World title reigns

I hope they Dont bring back punk all year. And mjf holds the titles all year and has a title match with wardlow to close the year. Khan pulls out the ref, punk returns and attacks mjf and they screw mjf for the title. New group (Khan, Punk, Wardlow ‘Champ’, plus others), mjf leaves for NJPW or WWE, and you get a screwjob 2.0

Since y’all didnt really do any NXT Related Predictions😊 here’s are mine MVP does Hurt Business 2.0 and calls up either just Carmelo Hayes or both Melo and Trick Williams Bron Breakker does gets booked like 2002 Brock/WCW Goldberg and goes on a huge win streak gaining the Intercontinental Championship near end of year LA Knight wins Money In The Bank Cora Jade NXT Women’s Champion Grayson Waller is NXT Champion in a Heel Way (Low Blow or pulling tights) NXT introduces some sort of Money In The Bank or King Of The Ring Equivalent

this isnt a prediction, but if anyones going to predict people retiring, heres a handful of older guys that are still on tv::: Sting 63 years old bill goldberg 56 dustin rhodes 53 chris Jericho 52 bully/bubba ray 51 Edge 49 christian cage 49 matt hardy 48 bobby lashley 46 aj styles 45 Brock lesnar 45 john cena : 45 jeff hardy 45 Sheamus 44 Samoa joe 43 randy orton 42

I don't want MJF to hold the title for a whole year #1 it's just too predictable and #2 Nick Aldis, Walter, Kay Lee Ray, Jacob Fatu, Alex Hammerstone, Roman Reigns, Usos, possibly Bianca Blair have all had 1 year+ reigns and I'm sick of it.

Predictions: 1. Edge retires 2. Vince returns 3. Miro will leave Aew 4. Gunther will become Walter again and will become longest reigning intercon champ for the last few years. 5. Logan Paul will have some controversy that gets him suspended/fired from WWE 6. Bron Brekker will move to the main roster after Summerslam. 7. AEW will mass release or allow people to leave but in a high number 8. Bray Wyatt will not start a stable. 9. Sami Zayn will win the rumble and Ronda will win the women's royal rumble. 10. Big E will return

So I posted something simliar to this on Aew's reddit page, and it got deleted cause "we should be moving on from cm punk, and stop bringing up things that happened months ago", then they posted about cm punk the next day. Idk if they're actually affiliated with aew or not but anyways. So why arent more people thinking this is all a work? Lets start with what we know, Ace Steel got fired, only concrete thing we've gotten from the fight..... WHO THE FU** IS ACE STEEL???? Sure cm punks trainer, blah blah blah, been with punk for 65 years yea yea. But as an on screen character, he was on tv twice. He came out and got the invite to the belt that mox left in the ring, then came out when Punk wanted to quit after getting squashed and slapped some sense into punk. Then the match happens, punk get hurt, Drs check him out before the conf. and say hey you're out for 10 months again. They quick plan, punk putting down the company, and stirring up the elite, who earlier was told that Kenny needs more time off to recovery cause he looked... bad in his 2 matches since returning at that point. Reports are coming out that x, y and z WONT let Punk back into AEW. Unless they're hulk hogan in 96' I dount any of those dorks have any imput on whos coming or going if Tony wants them.

shelton benjamin and cedric alexrander rejoinging bobby lashley and MVp in 2024 to reform hurt business

some of my predictions for the heck of it: - Matt Cardona returns to wwe and wins a world title - Julia Hart wins the TBS title in AEW - Impact and NWA will either work together/ fuze again - Sheamus will retire 1 day after winning the ic title (losing it the day after winning) - The Dark Order will disband in AEW

Multiple parts to this one: The interest and viewership for the NWA continues to decline, and Billy Corgan eventually tries to sell the promotion. He fails to find a buyer due to setting too high of an asking price. Eventually he decides to shut the promotion down entirely. After this it is sold off in bits and pieces. WWE pick up the tape library, but more importantly the IP and belts are picked up by Anthem Sports & Entertainment, who own Impact. No one picks up the talent contracts or set. The NWA belts are merged back into the Impact belts, with new belt designs introduced that carry the shape and overall design of the NWA belts, but with the silver/red aesthetic of the Impact belts. The promotion takes on the NWA name, while the weekly show retains the 'Impact' name (i.e. it becomes "NWA: Impact"), bringing things somewhat full circle back to when it was 'NWA: TNA'.

I predict the CM Punk/Elite story will be turned around and the Elite will look like utter a-holes by the end of 2023. Jericho gets himself cancelled for platforming Andrew Tate or someone like him. The Street Profits spilt and Dawkins ends up accidentally becoming more over than Montez!

Dark Order will win the trios belts. MJF will beat everyone left on his list. BCC will turn heel. Jericho will go on a losing streak. Eddie will win the TNT title.

Prediction time, Ric Flair wrestles again in 2023. CM punk returns to wrestling. & Daniel Bryan is the best wrestler in the world for another year.

1) Sami Zayn wins the royal rumble and goes on to beat Roman at Wrestlemania. 2) Adam Cole Retires. 3) CM Punk remains off-screen throughout the remainder of the year.

Multiple members of the elite leave aew. The big gold belt is brought back to wwe Cm Punk goes after AEW and reveals industry changing information

I can see Daniel Garcia going to wwe, especially after how badly AEW dropped the ball with him. Oh he's super over? Nope, back to being Jerichos idiot sidekick.

FTR don’t appear on AEW TV in 2023 until Double or Nothing and bring back CM Punk to take out The Elite who just won the Trios titles from House of Black.

The Elite win the Trios titles, run amuck through all challengers. Kenny Omega grabs the mic after running through ALL trios and says we beat them all there is no one left! FTR comes out and says you didn't beat us yet! Omega and the Bucks laugh and mock them, que Punks music. The crowd goes nuts!

WWE buying NWA would be able to put 10lbs of gold on Cody Rhodes... that would be a good full circle storyline.
