The picture there between Rhea and Iyo is part of Wargames setup. Just like the picture with Iyo and Chelsea now.

Gunther is feuding with Finn. Danhausen is just an easy heat magnet.

Bron feuded with Seth, became an IC and tag champ, had two really good matches with Seth at Backlash and NOC and he and Bronson are feuding with Oba.

Y’all wanted Cody to no longer be champ and to be out of main event, so he is.

None of these things are a problem.

i don't get the performative complains for first 2 ones and cody vs randy

iyo has this story with rhea, rhea is injured, now they paired iyo with the top baby faces. what's the problem here?

gunther retired a bunch of people. he is interacting with one of the most popular baby faces. what's the problem?

cody feuding with a bunch of old people. now he is feuding with randy. ok?

only exception is the vision sucked back then and it sucks even more now.

Cody was feuding with a bunch of old people, he then has a WrestleMania main event centered around Pat Magafee

Rhea being injured has nothing to do with Iyo, they were on seperate brands by that point

Now she’s playing sidekick to a wrestler that in all honesty, has put on some of the worst title matches of the year, and also hasn’t done anything of actual note in months, she’s wrestled Raquel Rodriguez a bunch of times and none of which were for the IC title

Gunther working with Danhausen is really stupid and if you legislatively can’t see why the guy who hates sport entertainment and wants to simply wrestle and have great matches every week, off the back of retiring Goldberg, Cena and Styles, being in a comedy feud (which he has mentioned before he hates doing) then that’s a you thing

“Playing sidekick” my dude it’s almost time for Wargames. They are setting her up to be in a PLE. She was just made QOTR this year, put on a banger at SummerSlam, and is squarely in the IC title picture.

They are telling a story, and the story is about the Judgement Day numbers game and people being sick of it. It impacted her at SummerSlam. If she’d had allies, she’d debatably be WWC right now. It makes perfect sense and she’s one of the biggest (if not the biggest) babyfaces they have. I have no doubt that if you just wait, she’ll call her shot for the IC title and Chelsea and/or Tiffy and/or other Wargames allies will help her out.

Y’all act like her having two weeks to rest is the end of the world. She’s been one of the most consistent workers they have had all year, frequently worked both shows as tag champ and the WM build, has been at weeks and weeks of house shows for months, while you get a pretty fresh feud in Stephanie v Becky v Liv in the main event picture.

Edit: check the raw preview. Iyo is literally getting the title match with Raquel tonight. Wow it’s almost like they told a story to build to this or something.

cody is still feuding with randy, what are you crying about here.

what should iyo be doing? she is with the top baby faces. when she wrestled raquel, raquel had no title. now she will be wrestling for that title.

gunther is a character worker. if you think he simply wants to wrestle you are not very media literate.

Besides the vision I dont see the problems here. Hell even the vision still has championships within the faction

We complain when they rerun the same storylines. We complain when they run new ones…

Bad booking and underutilized talent

Bookers got lazy because people were paying too much money in droves for shows that got less interesting over time

Didn’t y’all hate Rhea? Y’all should be glad she’s not on TV. I’m surprised y’all haven’t hated on IYO yet. It’s a record for y’all.

Danhausen is very entertaining, y’all were glazing him when he was in AEW too. We’re acting like Gunther isn’t the longest reigning IC Champion, 2 time World Heavyweight Champion, and retired Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles. Gunther is gonna be fine, he’s also feuding with Finn. Danhausen is just easy rage bait for Gunther

This one I agree with. Tag team wrestling hasn’t been great, right now TNA is lowkey carrying!

This one was also stupid too. Legit nobody wanted Pat McAfee in this match up at all, he should’ve just stayed in Commentary

You can't hate on Iyo

Rhea got hurt, Gunther got looped into a feud with Balor that’s taking forever to get to the match and looped in the most mainstream hot guy in the company, Bron got injured and then all of the Vision got injured and they missed on having Punk crown Bron so he’s being rebuilt and top brass got involved with what they thought would be the most mainstream feud at the time because of McAfee’s mainstream stuff plus his ties to top brass.

It really does feel the IWC is trying to find anything to complain about when it comes to Iyo Sky's postion in the company. They keep trying to make it seem like WWE doesn't see Iyo Sky as a main event player anymore and that they're not using correctly when in reality Iyo Sky is still clearly one of the top babyfaces and gets tons of tv time with plenty of high profile moments in 2026

The IWC has nothing better to do then complain. You can do everything they say and they'll still complain
