“False prophets belittling their household for their very own acquire.”
That line stood out from this week’s VHS confidential Wyatt Sicks phase. It defined the group’s motivation and their values. Bo informed…himself…that household is an important factor and that this group is now a household. Extra importantly, they bonded as household after getting tossed apart.
That makes it extra apparent why they’re focusing on Chad Gable, and why Chad’s phrases to Otis and Jey Uso ring hole. The Wyatts would by no means goal Otis as a result of he didn’t discard his household. Jey didn’t both, as he fought to maintain his household however finally left as a result of he was the sufferer.
I don’t know the way lengthy that motivation holds weight contemplating it’s normal sufficient that they will goal so many individuals for his or her deeds over many years, together with Seth Rollins. One can poke holes why they aim some however not others.
That’s for later although. At this second, it is smart given what occurred to them and what Chad is doing to the Alpha Academy. Chad’s phrases and pleas probably obtained via to Otis, nevertheless it’s good they’re protecting that open to interpretation and never giving a definitive reply but.
The Wyatt’s simply obtained extra attention-grabbing and spiced up this factor between Chad and his former household too.

Shakey Dog
I don’t know the place this story with New Day and Last Testomony goes. I’m nonetheless into it just because I’m confused, if solely as a result of I can’t fairly perceive Karrion Kross’ thoughts video games or what they’re going for with the totally different twists and turns. Take what occurred this week as exhibit A.
Xavier Woods wrestled Karrion in a grudge match for beating down Xavier the final time Uncooked got here to us reside. I appreciated beginning the match with Karrion extending his hand and Xavier slapping it away then throwing arms. I’m all about beginning matches with aggression on this context. It additionally helps play into Karrion’s thoughts video games. Actually, he repeatedly requested Xavier to “shake his hand now” when issues regarded dire for the New Day member. That was a pleasant contact that confirmed Karrion’s greater than slightly loopy.
The 2 engaged in a really bodily match that didn’t go lengthy, however packed plenty of heavy hits. The ending stunned me although, if solely as a result of I didn’t count on an Xavier win. He defeated Karrion with a rollup as soon as the large man obtained slightly too large for his britches and gloated an excessive amount of. Then this occurred:
Is the plan to isolate Xavier and provides him solo success whereas Kofi stands by? Possibly. After which I envision an boastful Karrion saying he did this for Xavier, very like Rikishi stated he ran over Stone Chilly for The Rock again within the day.
And yet another factor. Corey Graves stated Karrion’s “Shawn Michaels or Marty Jannetty” query to Xavier was a “thinly veiled” reference to Shawn’s profession and Marty’s. Bruv, on what planet is that thinly veiled? There’s no veil there in any respect; it’s an apparent reference.
360 What Goes Around
Dakota Kai got here into this Cash within the Financial institution qualifier match with easy marching orders: win. IYO SKY desires Injury CTRL again on high and each victory, particularly the large ones, counts for lots in her ebook. And if the Ws don’t stack, then she’s making modifications.
That put much more at stake when she confronted Zoey Stark and Ivy Nile this week. Understanding that, I watched the match from her perspective. Whereas she definitely had her moments, the larger ones went to Ivy, who German Suplexed two girls directly, and Zoey, who packed her common aggression. However her struggles introduced out Kari Sane, who lent no assist when Isla Daybreak & Alba Fyre stopped her in her neat little tracks. All of the commotion and chaos led to Zoey getting the win, pinning Dakota within the course of.
Injury CTRL is on everybody’s hit listing proper now, which is an attention-grabbing place for them. And that improvement probably has enormous implications on IYO’s success, or lack thereof, within the ladder match for the briefcase. Regardless that the Girls’s tag champs don’t do a lot for me, I like them as simply extra folks out for Injury CTRL’s blood.
Bash money
This Cash within the Financial institution qualifier was all about Ilja Dragunov. I knew he wasn’t successful, so it made sense to showcase him in a match with two of WWE’s largest weapons. He made his declare early when Sheamus and Drew McIntyre took their consideration off the Czar and he made Sheamus pay. That obtained everybody’s consideration, and Ilja stored all eyes on him because the match continued.
The primary two acts have been largely Ilja on offense or countering another person’s. He not often let Drew and Sheamus go one-on-one, made certain he stayed on high of both man when he had a bonus, and put each down together with his signature strikes. Actually, one would possibly argue the one cause he didn’t win is as a result of Drew rolled out of the ring after Ilja related with a Torpedo Moscow.
Sheamus knocked Ilja out of the ring for a correct showdown with Drew. They threw bombs at one another, with Drew getting the ultimate blow and punching his ticket to Cash within the Financial institution.
Very dope essential occasion that put Ilja within the highlight. He regarded nice in defeat as a result of he regarded like he belongs. Ilj’a largest energy is that all the pieces appears actual; he doesn’t do something at half pace. After all the pieces with Ricochet and Bron went sideways, this was a great spot for him.

- Tons of Judgment Day drama this week. We discovered Rhea isn’t glad, Finn thinks Damian Priest is the issue, and Soiled Dom continues to be filthy. Their story is essentially the most attention-grabbing a part of Cash within the Financial institution for me, because it connects to so many different sides.
- On that word, Liv Morgan retained her championship after defeating Zelina Vega, partially because of Dom making an attempt to “assist” Zelina however failing miserably.
- Rey Mysterio defeated Dom because of Liv making an attempt to “assist” but additionally failing miserably. Possibly these two actually are made for one another?
- Seth sowed much more dissent within the Judgment Day when he stated Finn’s jealous that Damian received a championship that Finn couldn’t. Primarily based on the minor pressure between Finn and Damian, this bears watching at Cash within the Financial institution.
- Sami Zayn and Bron Breakker gave us a incredible phase:
Uncooked delivers like an 80 lb. child once more. This present gave us extra story and speaking segments than matches, however all the pieces felt essential and contributed to the entire. Nice present that flew by and whetted my urge for food for Cash within the Financial institution.
What say you, Cagesiders? Is Finn proper about Damian or is it jealousy?
Hold forth!
