Jericho will also be partnering with AEW for the second Jericho Cruise that will happen in 2020, and Dave Bautista is reportedly talking with both WWE and AEW about his in-ring future. X-Pac notes that WWE is probably a lot more interested in bringing Batista back now that there’s a competitor in the market. Also, it’s smart for Batista to listen to all offers, even if he’d prefer to sign with one company over the other.
X-Pac talks about Jay White recently winning the IWGP Heavyweight Championship from Tanahashi. He thinks it’s safe to say that Gedo is a brilliant booker so he won’t question it, but it’s definitely surprising since Tanahashi just won the Title. Everyone who holds that Title becomes a big star so this is a good sign for White and X-Pac is happy for him because he’s a really nice guy.
X-Pac notes that the age old question is whether a Champion makes the Title, or does the Title make the Champion. He thinks it varies most of the time, but it WWE it’s mostly been the Champion making the Title as of late.
X-Pac thought the Becky Lynch angle on RAW this week was brilliant. Some fans were critical, calling the storyline stupid because it revolved around Lynch having to decide whether to apologize or not. X-Pac didn’t think it was stupid at all, noting that the people who are complaining need to realize that every hero needs to have adversity along the way.
