Another week. another breakdown of Tiffany’s takes! Are you intrigued by the same topics she is?

Jon Moxley

Have I mentioned how much I love this Jon Moxley/Eddie Kingston feud? Cuz, I do! I love this story of a spurned friendship and it not being just business for Mox or Kingston. I cannot wait for Full Gear in November.  I do find it a little frustrating that Kingston and Mox aren’t having more confrontations, but I guess it’s to whet the appetite for Full Gear.

Roman Reigns

This family saga is getting Corleone levels of ugly. Don’t get me wrong, I’m loving every minute of this shit. This is WWE at its soap opera best, but man is this getting ugly. Even turning Rikishi against Jey is some deep levels of ugly. I’m waiting for Jey to point out that Roman didn’t beat him clean either time, Jimmy gave up for Jey at the Clash and Roman basically blackmailed Jey into giving up at Hell in a Cell. Never mind, Jey seems to have thrown in with Roman.

Seth Rollins

Okay, since I was in a fog last week, it looks like Romeo has turned on the Montagues and the Capulets ain’t having it. However, I like that Angie, at least in in Aalyah’s corner. Once again, heel!Seth is the best Seth, but Aalyah choosing Murphy over her family is straight up out of Shakespeare. So, Romeo is out of the Montagues and Juliet is out of the Capulets, now what?

Women’s Wrestling

Good god, how long are we going to be stuck with Baszler and Jax as tag champs? Also, why is Lana getting pushed over actually talented women? All the talent in that division and we’re stilling getting Lana.

I cannot abide Bianca Belair. She is not all WWE and her fans think she is. Also, that triple threat was weird and awkward. I like Billie Kay, but she always seems so awkward in the ring. Nattie…Nattie is good, but she doesn’t have enough personality to get beyond the mid-card (I promise I’m not going to spend the whole night tearing down the women’s division). I like Carmella’s new gimmick, but I’m also puzzled by it. I want Sasha’s outfit like NOW, though I hate to think how strict of a diet I’d have to be on to fit into it. I seriously hope Sasha wins next week, I’m over her losing her rematches. GIVE SASHA A LONG TITLE REIGN!

I love that the AEW women get more matches on AEW Dark, but there should be more time for them made on Dynamite. C’mon, put the women on Dynamite, give the women who are starting to outnumber the dudes in terms of viewing numbers a sign you’re paying attention! Anna Jay continues to be one of my faves on Dark. I love that her feud with Brandi Rhodes is continuing.

I appreciate AEW showcasing the NWA Women’s Championship, and helping out the NWA, but I’m a little perturbed that an outsider promotion gets time on the company flagship show and most of AEW’s signed female talent not only doesn’t get a shot at the NWA title, but also is relegated to Dark. At least we got something for the AEW Women’s Title: Hikaru Shida vs Nyla Rose II.

Retribution

Okay, I loved the look back at Retribution and why they’re here. Seriously good stuff. Not thrilled about Retribution losing AGAIN, but it was by DQ instead of pinfall. Still, wishing Retribution was getting more. Also, love Mia Yim in this match, kinda wish her and Martinez were competing too.

WWE Third Party Situation

Can WWE ever try to not take the fun out of things? Apparently, WWE has…insisted that the superstars with 3rd party accounts (Cameo, Twitch, etc) suspend those accounts or has seized control of those account until a meeting sometime next week, and apparently this crackdown includes people like Paige, who is under contract, but can’t wrestle and isn’t being used for anything. Like, they’re keeping fans engaged by doing this stuff and the fans who engage in this KNOW THAT WRESTLING IS STAGED, so there’s no reason to worry about KAYFABE. If this is about money, there has to be a way for both sides to meet in the middle that won’t end with taking all the fun out of the 3rd party accounts.

Karl Anderson Situation

In case you didn’t hear about it, Karl Anderson of the Good Brothers/Bullet Club/The Club was called out for cheating by his ‘hot Asian’ wife on Saturday, to which he responded by calling her a slut. Yeesh. I’m not about to try and dive into this or take sides, but history has shown that going public with your marital issues tends to go badly for the person who went public, but Anderson’s response was unacceptable in every respect of the world. If your marriage is imploding, don’t take it onto social media.

Election 2020

Yes, I know you guys are REALLY sick of this, and I promise it’ll be the last one. Election Day is November 3, which will be TOMORROW when this article is published. PLEASE, exercise your hard fought right to vote. I won’t say who to vote for, that’s between you and your conscience, but there is too much at stake to just sit on your hands because you don’t like either candidate.

Personal Note

I want to apologize for the poor quality of my takes last week. Unfortunately, I was going through a personal crisis and wasn’t really paying attention to what was going on with much of anything. Long story short:  My 15 year old cat became very sick last week and had to be rushed to the vet. He is doing better, but I got some news that upset me greatly and I was trying to deal with that. I give you my word that I will do everything I can to give you guys the best takes I can and I again apologize for last week.
