Well aware that Discord is the way to go, but for those who don't have Discord, discussion can still happen here!

While it's on my mind, Judgment Day is a pretty bland stable name, but considering it's WWE, I'm not surprised.

Updates on "The Man" championships...

- At 530 days and counting, Roman Reigns' record-setting run as The Man sees no end in sight. He hasn't been pinned in one-on-one competent since December 2019.

- Two "Man" retirements/departures ended with Edge and Batista returning to action at specific parts of their career. In due time, these reigns eventually merged and led up to Roman's run.

- The third "Man" title lineage that started in 2015 with Rollins, is currently in possession by Samoa Joe, who is now in AEW/ROH. Speaking of AEW...

- Hangman Page is currently AEW's "The Man". This title lineage goes as far back as Ric Flair's final match ever against Sting in September 2011. Kenny Omega brought the title to AEW in 2021.

- The women's edition, started by Becky Lynch in 2018, is currently held by Rhea Ripley. Also curious to see if this ever goes back to a man, considering it'd be as easy as a 24/7 champ getting a hold of this title >_>

Anticlimactic ppv card is anticlimactic...

Wrestlemania Backlash 2022
RK-Bro and McIntyre vs The Bloodline
Charlotte vs Ronda in an I Quit match for SD Women's title
Cody vs Rollins
Lashley vs Omos
Edge vs Styles
Corbin vs Moss

My picks...
McIntyre pins Jimmy Uso, gets us one step closer to the tag title match we almost had, plus the inevitable McIntyre job to Reigns at Summerslam
Charlotte wins, Ronda leaves again
Rollins wins, sets up rubber match down the road
Omos wins, see above
Edge wins when Judgment Day gets a new member
Moss wins because... reasons.

The following titles will not be defended at Backlash.

WWE Championship.
Universal Championship.
Smackdown Tag Team Championships.
RAW Tag Team Championships.
RAW Women's Championship.
Intercontinental Championship.
United States Championship.

This might be the lowest stakes non-Survivor Series PPV ever.

Pretty sure the last ppv with less title defenses was December 2 Dismember (Survivor Series excluded)

This is, however, the second ppv in WWE history with no men's title defenses (First being the obvious Evolution)

Also, to show how far these belts have fallen...

The US title hasn't been defended on pay per view since Extreme Rules in September 2021

The Intercontinental title hasn't been defended on ppv since Wrestlemania 37 in April 2021 (WM38 was the first Mania to not feature an IC title match since WM30)

For reals though, a tag tournament for the vacant Women's tag titles. Here's what we know from the rosters...

Raw
Nikki A.S.H. and Doudrop
Carmella and Queen Zelina

Alexa Bliss
Asuka
Becky Lynch
Bianca Belair
Dana Brooke
Lacey Evans
Liv Morgan
Rhea Ripley
Sonya Deville
Tamina

SmackDown
Natalya and Baszler

Aliyah
Charlotte Flair
Raquel Rodriguez
Ronda Rousey
Shotzi
Xia Li

They literally only have 3 established teams. They could put Dana and Tamina together for the sake of that bad 24/7 storyline. Liv and Rhea are too busy being in the middle of a stable war. Asuka has her sights on Belair's title, and Becky's trying to stay in the thick of things too. Lacey didn't spend all that time on maternity leave just to be thrown in the tag division (especially when she was reportedly supposed to have a singles title run before said pregnancy). That just leaves Sonya, who's spent the last 2 weeks jobbing to Alexa.

On SmackDown, Rousey probably isn't wasting time in the tag division, and Charlotte might be taking time off for a bit. That leaves the other 4 to create at least one team.

This tournament is probably 4 tag teams and will only need 3 matches to complete

Confirmed for Hell in a Cell with only one week left...

Cody Rhodes vs Seth Rollins, in a Hell in a Cell match
Belair vs Becky vs Asuka for the Raw Women's Championship
Lashley vs Omos and MVP
Kevin Owens vs Ezekiel

I think the following gets added this upcoming week

Usos vs Riddle and Nakamura for the tag titles
McIntyre probably gets a match of some sorts to prepare for Reigns this summer
Maybe the women's tag tournament gets underway; hell, with the severe lack of tag teams, maybe it starts on Raw and ends at HIAC!

Just now I was wondering what ever became of the custody rights of Dominik Mysterio. I had to look up results from 2020, because at one point Seth Rollins had the "rights" and risked the possibility of losing rights to Dominik himself and ending the whole thing after 15 years.

Upon looking up results, I discovered the following...
1) Rollins was pinned by Randy Orton on Raw in late August 2020
2) Orton and Drew McIntyre played hot potato with the custody rights between September and November 2020, trading pinfalls all the way up to a week before Survivor Series
3) Drew McIntyre was pinned at Survivor Series 2020 by the current holder of said custody rights to Dominik Mysterio, Roman Reigns

Looks like we're in for the long haul on both The Man AND the custody rights to Dominik.

Well if he had beaten Rollins in 2020, it would've ended there. Went 0-3 against Seth, then Seth got pinned against Orton anyway, passing the rights on to him.

Imagine going 0-3 against someone when the 3rd match was against the guy with one arm in a Cell.
