THE WRESTLING THREAD: HHH KEEPS DOING HHH THINGS.....
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
Before everyone here shits on the new name, Royce is his son's name so it has meaning. He'll be fine with the new name.
AEW ain't as mainstream as people think and plus he hasn't been featured there like he should because of TK's shitty booking.
A lot of the WWE fans will be seeing him for the very first time so his previous name in AEW has almost no value moving forward.
I hope you're right because it's not like triple k booking has been good.
Every other NXT show
OBA Femi /Jevon Evans /Trick Williams/Ricky Saints/Carmelo Hayes/Leon Slater.
The main roster is on some bullshit
Mutha fucka said, "I went from EBT to WWE"
Clickbait, it's saying Bobby Lashley but in the story it talks about Dolph Ziggler.
Shit I'm watching Collison. I forgot all about SNME
I've DVR collision and yes SNME is on which I'm glad I don't have to buy this shit.
BAH GAWD!
I neve thought it was weird that Raven was on the cover.
Raven was over a.f., they just didn't know how to use him.
Do you think TK and HHH. Should do a 1 off trade for the fans. On AJ retirement tour lend AJ/Finn Balor vs Young Bucks vs Kenny Omega/Will Osprey in return surprise entry into 2027 Royal Rumble. Men's. John Moxley,
2027 Women's-Mercedes Monés/Sasha Banks Bianca music hits and in the crowd we see Mercedes with a Bayleyshirt on. Bianca sees her and gives her classic line You dont even Go here. She is there to supprt her friend however she interferes and cost Bianca the spot at Wrestlemania. Jealous that it wasnt her spot. Naomi music hits she's in between the two and between the history with both she is torn. She turns on Bianca with Mercedes. They continue the story depending on the ongoing relationship and setup a future Mania rematch Bianca vs Sasha or Pivot to Bianca vs Naomi.

### Opinion on the TK-HHH One-Off Trade
Absolutely, I think Tony Khan (TK) and Triple H (HHH) should pull off a one-off trade like this for the fans. Wrestling thrives on surprises, dream matches, and crossovers that nod to history, and with the industry in a more collaborative era (think WWE's partnerships with TNA or indies), a limited AEW-WWE exchange could be a massive win-win. It wouldn't dilute either brand's identity but could pop huge ratings, boost merch, and create buzz that echoes the Attitude Era forbidden door vibes. AJ Styles' retirement tour is the perfect hook—he's a legend who's bridged promotions, and settling old feuds with AEW stars like the Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, and Will Ospreay would feel organic. In return, bringing John Moxley back for a Royal Rumble spot (his chaotic energy in WWE again? Gold) and Mercedes Moné stirring drama in the women's division would deliver shocks without long-term commitments. It's fan service at its finest, as long as contracts allow it—wrestling's all about the spectacle, and this screams "must-see TV."
### Wrestler Histories and Connections
To set up the storyline, let's break down the key players' backgrounds, focusing on their shared histories (especially Bullet Club ties in NJPW) that make this crossover feud feel earned. I'll keep it concise but highlight why these matchups pop.
- **AJ Styles**: The "Phenomenal One" started in the indies and TNA (as a multi-time world champ), but exploded in NJPW from 2014-2016 as Bullet Club's leader after taking over from Finn Bálor. He feuded with and allied top stars, including early run-ins with the Young Bucks (fellow Bullet Club members) and Kenny Omega (who later led the group after AJ left for WWE in 2016). In WWE, AJ's been a Grand Slam champ, headlining Manias, and clashing with everyone from John Cena to The Undertaker. His retirement tour in 2026 would be about closing chapters—settling Bullet Club beefs and proving he's still the best.
- **Kenny Omega**: The "Cleaner" rose in NJPW as a Bullet Club member under AJ's leadership, then took the reins after AJ's exit, turning it into The Elite faction with the Young Bucks. Their history is tense: AJ mentored Kenny indirectly, but Kenny's ego-driven style clashed with AJ's technical prowess, leading to subtle rivalries in promos. Omega's AEW run has made him a global star with epic matches against Will Ospreay (their NJPW/AEW trilogies are legendary for high-flying brutality). A matchup with AJ would be a "passing the torch" dream, blending Omega's video game-inspired flair with AJ's veteran savvy.
- **Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson)**: The high-flying tag team innovators co-founded AEW and were core Bullet Club members in NJPW during AJ's leadership era. They idolized AJ early on, but as The Elite formed, they branched out—AJ's departure left them to redefine the group with Omega. Their history includes tag matches and alliances, but no direct long feud with AJ, making a trios or tag clash feel fresh yet nostalgic. Bucks vs. AJ/Finn would highlight generational shifts in tag wrestling.
- **Finn Bálor**: The "Demon King" founded Bullet Club in NJPW in 2013, recruiting the Young Bucks and setting the stable's chaotic tone. He handed leadership to AJ in 2014 before jumping to WWE, where he's been NXT champ, Universal champ, and Judgment Day leader. Bálor and AJ have teamed in WWE (as The Club), but their NJPW roots tie them to the Bucks/Omega—Bálor's betrayal of Bullet Club echoes in storylines. Pairing him with AJ against AEW stars would nod to their shared origins while showcasing Bálor's underrated athleticism.
- **Will Ospreay**: The "Aerial Assassin" joined Bullet Club in NJPW post-AJ era under Omega's leadership, but his rivalries with Omega (brutal matches at Wrestle Kingdom and Forbidden Door) steal the show. Ospreay's AEW signing amplified his star power with insane flips and strikes. No direct history with AJ or Bálor, but as a Bullet Club alum, he fits the "unfinished business" theme—imagine Ospreay's Hidden Blade vs. AJ's Phenomenal Forearm.
These guys' Bullet Club web creates natural heat: loyalty, betrayals, and "who's the real leader?" drama. It's perfect for a retirement tour feud.
### Full Storyline: AJ Styles' 2026 Retirement Tour with Cross-Promotion Trade
We'll build this from the current date (late January 2026) through the end of 2026, leading into Royal Rumble 2027 (January) and WrestleMania 2027 (April). AJ announces his retirement post-WrestleMania 2026 (assuming he competes there in a mid-card feud), aiming to wrap up by December 2026 with loose ends tied. The TK-HHH trade happens mid-year for maximum buildup. I'll incorporate your AJ/Finn vs. Young Bucks vs. Kenny/Will idea as a trios match in AEW, with Moxley as the Rumble return. The women's storyline is refined below separately, filling in 2026 drama to earn the Rumble payoff.
#### Remainder of 2026 Build for AJ's Tour
- **February-March 2026 (Post-Royal Rumble, Pre-WrestleMania)**: AJ, fresh off a Rumble elimination by a young heel (say, Oba Femi), announces on Raw his 2026 retirement tour: "I've conquered WWE, but ghosts from my past—Bullet Club brothers turned rivals—still haunt me. Before I hang 'em up, I settle scores." He starts with WWE feuds: a series vs. old rivals like Shinske at Elimination Chamber, then teams with Finn Bálor winning but getting jumped post-match by a debuting indie star teasing NJPW ties like Jeff Cobb. Subtle promos name-drop "The Cleaner" (Omega) and "those Bucks," hinting at forbidden door cravings. Ratings spike as fans speculate crossovers.
- **April-June 2026 (Post-Mania Reset)**: AJ shifts to "international settlement." He appears at a WWE house show in Japan, cutting a promo on NJPW history. TK and HHH negotiate secretly (leaked via dirt sheets for buzz). AJ feuds with WWE's "new generation" like Bron Breakker Jevon Evans, winning a best-of-5 series but taking brutal bumps to sell wear-and-tear. Finn joins as his tour partner, reforming a loose "Club" alliance. Teasers: AJ tweets cryptic Bullet Club symbols, Young Bucks respond on Dynamite with "Too Sweet" taunts.
- **July 2026 (Trade Activation - AEW Forbidden Door Event)**: The one-off trade drops. WWE "lends" AJ and Finn to AEW for a special trios match at Forbidden Door: AJ Styles & Finn Bálor (with a mystery partner? Maybe Tama Tonga for Bullet Club purity) vs. The Young Bucks & Kenny Omega. Will Ospreay interferes mid-match, turning it into chaos—Ospreay sides with Omega initially but betrays him with a Stormbreaker on a Buck, allowing AJ to hit the Styles Clash on Omega for the pin. Post-match brawl: Ospreay challenges AJ one-on-one, but AJ declines, saying "This tour ends on my terms—in WWE." Crowd pops huge; it's a ratings bonanza for AEW.
- **August-October 2026 (WWE Payback)**: Back in WWE, AJ uses the AEW win to fuel a heel turn—arrogant about "conquering forbidden territories." He feuds with Cody Rhodes (nod to their 2024 match) at SummerSlam, losing cleanly to pass the torch. Finn splits amicably, pursuing solo gold. AJ settles mid-card feuds: vs. LA Knight at Clash at the Castle (street fight), vs. Sami Zayn at Bad Blood (technical clinic). Health scares (kayfabe injuries) build sympathy, with promos about family and legacy.
- **November-December 2026 (Final Run)**: AJ's last PPV at Survivor Series: a multi-man Bullet Club tribute match (WWE-legal version with Tama Tonga, Karl Anderson). He wins, then announces final Raw match vs. a debuting NXT call-up. Retirement ceremony on the last SmackDown of 2026: legends like Shawn Michaels toast him, but it's interrupted by a video from Omega/Bucks challenging a rematch—setting up potential post-retirement cameos. AJ retires officially, but whispers of "one more surprise" linger into 2027.
This fills 2026 with emotional beats, old feuds, and the trade as a mid-year peak.
### Refined Women's Storyline: Bianca Belair vs. Mercedes Moné (Sasha Banks) vs. Naomi for Royal Rumble 2027 and WrestleMania 2027
Your idea is solid—nostalgic interference, crowd spot, and torn loyalties—but I'll refine it for smoother pacing, deeper character motivations, and 2026 buildup to avoid feeling rushed. We'll assume current statuses: Mercedes in AEW, Naomi back in WWE (post-2024 return), Bianca as a top babyface. The story pivots on their shared history (Team B.A.D., rivalries, real-life friendships) and evolves based on relationships, with options for Bianca vs. Mercedes at Mania or a pivot to Bianca vs. Naomi if heat builds there. Fill in 2026 to earn the Rumble drama.
#### Remainder of 2026 Build
- **February-April 2026 (Rumble Aftermath to Mania)**: Bianca returns (assuming she wins at Rumble 2026) against rising heels like Liv Morgan. Naomi returns , aligning loosely with Bianca in tag matches vs. Lash/Nia Jax Subtle tension: Naomi mentions "old friends" (hinting at Mercedes) in promos. Mercedes, in AEW, cuts vignettes about "unfinished WWE business," name-dropping Bianca's EST gimmick mockingly. At Mania 2026, Bianca retains vs. a multi-woman match including Naomi—who takes the pin, planting jealousy seeds.
- **May-July 2026 (Alliance Cracks)**: Post-Mania, Bianca and Naomi form a dominant tag team, winning the Women's Tag Titles at Backlash. But vignettes show Naomi texting Mercedes (blurred for mystery). At Money in the Bank, Naomi "accidentally" costs Bianca a qualifier match, blaming it on miscommunication. Promos escalate: Bianca calls out Naomi's "divided loyalties." Mercedes appears on AEW TV wearing WWE merch (Bayley shirt tease), saying she's "supporting friends from afar." Heat builds via social media—real-life posts amplified for story.
- **August-October 2026 (Betrayal Setup)**: At SummerSlam, Bianca vs. Naomi in a friendly #1 contender match ends in double count-out after interference from a hooded figure (Mercedes tease). They lose the tags due to distrust. Naomi turns tweener, defending Mercedes in interviews: "She's family—WWE forgot that." Bianca feuds with outsiders (e.g., Jade Cargill crossover nod), but Naomi's distractions cost her wins. At Crown Jewel, Naomi wins a non-title match vs. Bianca with a controversial roll-up, then hugs her post-match—mixed signals to build "torn" arc.
- **November-December 2026 (Holiday Heat)**: Survivor Series: Bianca captains a team including Naomi vs. heels; Naomi eliminates herself to "protect" Bianca from a beatdown, but it backfires, making Bianca suspicious. Christmas Raw: Naomi gifts Bianca a Bayley shirt (foreshadowing), saying "For old times." Mercedes posts cryptic IG stories about "coming home for the holidays." Year ends with Bianca challenging Naomi to a December PPV match—Naomi wins via distraction (Mercedes' music plays but no-show), setting up Rumble volatility.
#### Royal Rumble 2027 Payoff
Women's Rumble match is mid-card, with Bianca entering #15 as a favorite. She's dominating when Mercedes' music hits (surprise trade entry—HHH-TK deal). But instead of entering the ring, Mercedes appears in the crowd wearing a Bayley shirt (nod to their Boss 'n' Hug history). Bianca spots her, pauses mid-elimination, and yells your classic line: "You don't even go here!" Mercedes plays innocent, waving a sign saying "Here for my girl Bayley" (Bayley's in the Rumble too, for added layers). As Bianca turns back, a heel (say, Nia Jax) attacks—but Mercedes hops the barrier, "accidentally" interferes by tripping Bianca during a comeback, costing her an elimination spot. Bianca gets dumped out.
Chaos ensues: Naomi's music hits as #20. She enters, sees the scene—Mercedes pleading "I was just supporting!" Naomi's torn (history with both: Team B.A.D. with Sasha, recent tag partnership with Bianca). Flashbacks air on tron: their friendships, betrayals. Naomi hesitates, then turns on Bianca outside the ring with a Rear View, aligning with Mercedes. They double-team Bianca post-elimination, hugging as "sisters reunited." Bayley eliminates herself to confront them, but they back off laughing. Rumble winner (someone else, like Rhea Ripley) advances, but the spotlight's on this drama.
#### Road to WrestleMania 2027
- **January-February 2027 (Immediate Fallout)**: Raw after Rumble: Bianca demands answers. Naomi cuts a promo: "Bianca, you forgot where we came from—Mercedes is blood." Mercedes signs a short WWE deal via the trade (or "free agent" loophole). They form a heel trio with a B.A.D. reboot, targeting babyfaces. Bianca feuds with mid-carders to rebuild, cutting fiery promos about betrayal.
- **March-April 2027 (Mania Build)**: Depending on relationships/heat:
- **Option 1: Bianca vs. Mercedes (Primary Path)**: If Mercedes-Bianca chemistry sizzles (their 2020-2022 rivalries were fire), build to a one-on-one at Mania. Naomi interferes early but gets ejected, leading to Bianca's revenge win with the KOD. Post-match, handshakes tease respect.
- **Option 2: Pivot to Bianca vs. Naomi**: If Naomi's torn arc gets more fan love (her glow-up potential), Mercedes "sacrifices" herself at Elimination Chamber (loses to Bianca), setting Naomi as the Mania heel. Bianca wins with EST flair, but Mercedes attacks post-match for a future triple threat.
This refines your idea with emotional depth, history nods, and flexible endings—keeping it fan-pleasing while filling 2026 logically. What do you think—any tweaks?
