• John Cena tapping out and the fallout from it including whether WWE should work harder to make tapouts feel honorable

• Similarities and differences between the Roman Reigns-Jey Uso finish and the John Cena-Gunther finish
• Analysis of the Lay of the Land in the Continental Classic and if it turns out that it's four heels in the final four, is that a bad thing?

• Could MJF win the Dynamite Diamond Ring and add himself to the Samoa Joe vs. Swerve Strickland vs. Hangman Page, and who should win if it remains a three-way?
• Where does Tony Storm go from here? Should she be back in the singles title hunt?
• Should Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia get a serious heel tag team push given their heel heat?
• Could Eddie Kingston perhaps be a fourth man in the AEW World Title match at Worlds End and win the title, only for MJF to cost him with his Dynamite Diamond Ring?
