What happened to Hobbs? He made all those Book Of Hobbs promo videos and then nothing.

They're still going though it is being dragged out. He won a couple of squash matches on Dark/Elevation a couple of weeks back. Last week's Rampage:

Latest ticket update for tonight. A fair bit of movement in recent days. Roughly the same amount of tickets sold as last time WWE ran a Raw there in 2020.

Lethal vs. Briscoe to open?

Nope, Jericho tag opens.

One year to the day since Sammy's epic cutter off the ladder to Cody, he does another variation of it.

Fun opener. Andretti loses his first match since getting the All Elite poster.

Buddy's entrance mask rules. I love the HoB aesthetic.

Darby could lose the TNT Title unexpectedly in one of these weekly defenses since they are playing up the wear and tear from his rough schedule.

The Poison Rana is becoming the new Canadian Destroyer. 2 in 2 tonight.

Matthews has a very high wrestling IQ. Would love to see he and Kenny get a match of similar length to this.

Darby has incredibly high octane title reigns. He works his ass off.

Cole looking at the Revolution banner, I guess that is the target.

I give it a few weeks before a slingless Christian jumps Jungle Boy. JungleHook has felt like a fun sidequest.

Hangman back with the Elite vs BCC is my main hope for Blood and Guts 2023. It'd be the best one yet.

Taz simping for Cage when he kicked Cage out of Team Taz.

Wrestlers' music not playing needs to happen more. Feels more organic.

BCC nowhere to be found for Danielson and Takeshita has to save him.
