Thoughts on media: WWE, Netflix, and the Long Game: Why Fans Are Missing the Bigger Picture
For the past few months, there’s been a lot of noise around WWE’s transition to Netflix and the state of its U.S. broadcast deals. Fans are frustrated. They don’t like the fragmented experience. They don’t like that SmackDown is staying on NBC/USA. They don’t like that the WWE Network is now only fully consolidated for international viewers. On the surface, I get it. I’ve been a wrestling fan…

Until WWE themselves announces it, I'm choosing to be naively hopeful the news about the 2026 Rumble is false but I'm not optimistic in the slightest

Two huge title changes from last nights WWE Summerslam, only the biggest party of the summer. What I think WWE will bring: I think the World Heavyweight title is now locked up for a long time, it's no longer on the same path for Drew, Punk or even Seth at this moment in time. All three and the title have gone down separate paths. I always thought Drew would get it back, I though maybe we would see a WHC triple threat match between Seth, Drew and Punk but with Gunther taking it and not really crossing paths with any of them yet, I don't think it's on the cards for any of them at this moment. So what do I think?... I think Gunther will once again, become the longest reigning. He's been longest reigning as the NXT and IC champion, it only makes sense for WWE to keep the title on him likely well into 2026. As for Bron Breakker, I believe he is also now on a huge title run and it wouldn't surprise me to see him make Gunthers IC title run of 666 days look small in comparison. I expect Bron to be holding this title for a long time, it made sense for his first fight with Sami to drag on, both out classing each other. It makes even more sense for their second bout to be a quick game over fight from Breakker, the man literally is "THE NEXT BIG THING". What do I hope happens?: I think they should push that name more, make it a thing for Bron, and if possible bring Brock back to take him on, but give Bron the overall win in however many matches they have. The fans would love it, Bron will really cement his place as a huge future star if he can get past Brock Lesnar! Conclusion? I see both of these titles being held into 2026, maybe late 2025 for Bron and the IC, only because I see him taking the MITB next time round and when he cashes in... I don't see many on the roster being able to stop him!

Saying "they are setting up the Golden Lovers reunion" doesn't mean anything. Kenny Omega has literally been setting up the Golden Lovers reunion every minute of every day since he left DDT.
Kota Ibushi could debut with AEW tomorrow, and the reunion still wouldn't happen right away. Kenny would get six months of BTE skits out of a running gag where no one told him Ibushi is here and they keep missing each other backstage and the Bucks can't decide whether to tell him. Meanwhile Ibushi just goes on with his life feuding with the Mogul Embassy or something, as if he has no idea Kenny even exists.
Eventually they'd bump into one another in the ring, but Kenny would back away, and we'd get three months of "why isn't Kenny talking about what happened?" Then we need a year of Kenny pretending not to care, so Excalibur can explain the Lore to new fans. "Tony, we've seen this before in New Japan Pro Wrestling, Kenny would make these oblique references to 'You' without explaining who he was referring to. Could that be the Golden Star, Kota Ibushi?" And Schiavone's like "I think you're right, Excalibur, but there must be something more going on here than just two former tag team partners!"
Two years into Ibushi's three-year deal, Kenny turns heel again and aligns with Bullet Club Gold, so Ibushi can catch him on the rebound when they betray him. Finally, in March 2026, the Golden Lovers are back together. Of course, now the question is when they're going to do their big ultimate singles match, which sets up another long-term storyline. Unfortunately before that can come to fruition, Ibushi unexpectly jumps to XPW.
Dejected, Kenny takes an office position at WWE and enters semi-retirement, but whenever he appears on Raw to announce a Beat the Clock Challenge or something, he rambles about how he has "one more match" to do, if "You" are still out there somewhere...

A goth love story: The love story of Damian, Rhea and I (chapters 1-12)
Chapter 1-a nerve-wracking day.
5/04/2026
I'm at Chicago's O'Hare airport, waiting for my Uber. Tomorrow is my WWE debut. I'm a wreck of emotions: homesick, nervous and excited. I do a quick check of my suitcase (again!), making sure I have everything. After that, I get into my Uber and head to my hotel, ready to see what tomorrow brings.
Chapter 2-my debut
5/05/2026
It's midnight on the day of my debut. I'm so nervous, I can't sleep. I go to the gym and get my routine started. My routine is modified, because of my disability. I get on the treadmill,and then I lift weights and do some yoga. After that, I go and get some breakfast and coffee. I go back to my hotel, shower, put on my ring gear and do my hair and makeup. Then I got into an Uber to head to the stadium.
Chapter 3-What the fuck just happened?
As soon as I enter the stadium, the whole roster just freezes. Then I hear two familiar voices say, "Damn she's so fine!!" It's Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley. They approach me and I freeze. These are my celebrity crushes and idols. I try to introduce myself, but Damian stops me. "Stop right there. We know who you are. We've been waiting for you." Suddenly, I'm pinned against the wall and feel a pair of lips on mine. Those are Rhea's lips. When they said that they were waiting for me, this wasn't what I was expecting. I thought that they were going to beat me up. After a few minutes, Rhea ends the kiss. "Good luck tonight. I'll be watching." My bisexual panic sets in as Damian approaches. He puts his lips on mine and kisses me. After a few minutes, he ends the kiss. "Good luck tonight. Like Rhea said, we'll be watching." Still shocked, I head to my dressing room to talk to my dad before my match. "Hi dad." I said. "Hi sweetie. I just wanted to wish you good luck tonight... Are you ok? You're bright red but you also look like you've just seen a ghost." He says. "I think I'm in love. Damian priest and Rhea Ripley just ambushed me and kissed me." I end the call and head out to the ring.
Chapter 4-what the fuck just happened part 2
I head out to the ring and sure enough Damian and Rhea are watching. Rhea winks at me. For some reason, Damian has a leather jacket in his hand. I ignore them. I don't need any distractions tonight including them. My opponent is Zelina Vega. She's not gonna stop me. I'm invincible. The match is a long one but I come out on top. After my match, Adam Pearce, Damian and Rhea enter the ring. They are all handed microphones. "Wheelchair Warrior, I'm impressed. I have the perfect opportunity for you. Damian, you can take it from here." Adam says. "The team of terror has been looking for a new member for a while. We tried everyone we could think of. After trying half of the roster, Adam told us that there was a special talent coming out of NXT. We were skeptical at first, but you've impressed us. So wheelchair warrior, will you please be the third member of the team of terror?" Damian says. "Yes, definitely!!! I can't wait to work with you guys more closely." Damian hands me the leather jacket. "Put it on. You've earned it" I put it on. It fits perfectly. I get out of the ring and head backstage. Damian and Rhea follow suit.
Chapter 5-falling for Rhea and Damian
5/10/2026
Now that I'm part of their faction, Rhea, Damian and I have to travel together. I meet them at the gate of the airport. Next stop:Des Moines, IA. We boarded the plane and easily found our row. "You're in the middle." Damian says to me. Ahh! (Bisexual panic setting in!) I'm in between the two hottest people on the roster! This is a fucking dream come true! We sit down and Rhea says to me:"Has anyone told you that you look absolutely gorgeous today?" I blush. "Thanks, Rhea. You look absolutely gorgeous today too." Damian starts talking to me, but I can't focus. All I can focus on is how sexy they both are. (Damian's eyes and Rhea's hair, OMG!) I can't help myself. "Sorry Damian, what did you say?" " I asked if we could learn more about you." I tell them everything I can think of. How I got into wrestling in the first place, about my childhood,etc. Before I know it, we land. We get our bags and Damian says, "Here's the plan. We're going to go to our hotel and unpack, and then we're going to meet up for dinner." Rhea and I say, "Ok." When we got to the hotel, Rhea and I found out that we were sharing a room. (Don't worry, it was a room with 2 beds.) "Awesome, that means more bonding time with my new teammate." Rhea says. We quickly unpack and meet Damian downstairs and head to dinner. "You guys ready to go? He asks. "Yeah let's go." Rhea says. When we're in the Uber, Damian says, "Rhea and I have already picked the restaurant. We didn't know what you liked." We go to a nice Italian restaurant. We get seated immediately. Before the waiter comes, Rhea says, "Damian and I chose this place because we have something special to ask you." Then they say," Will you be our girlfriend?" I'm shocked. "Wait a minute. Our girlfriend? You guys are dating and you're polyamourous?" "Yeah, we've been looking for another romantic partner for months now, and you're a perfect fit." Damian says. " So what do you think? Will you be our girlfriend?" Rhea asks. " Yes!" I said excitedly. We finish dinner and go back to the hotel. When we got back to the hotel, Rhea decides to have an impromptu make out session. She grabs the collar of my shirt and very seductively says," Come here, Mami." (Excuse me? Did she just call me Mami? Aren't I the one who's supposed to call her that?). She pins me up against the closet. We're so close that I can feel her heartbeat and see the spark in her eyes. Then she kisses me and I freeze. She's gorgeous and such a good kisser. After thirty minutes, she carries me to the bed. I fall asleep immediately. I feel a finger on my face as she moves my hair out of my face. "Goodnight, Mami." she says. She eventually falls asleep next to me.
Chapter 6-Our first gym session and event as a throuple.
5/12/2026
When Rhea and I get up, we notice that we have the same text message from Damian:"Do my queens want to go to the gym with me?" Rhea and I both reply,"Yes." Then we get ready to go. I just put on a sports bra and some sweats. After we finish getting ready, Rhea and I wait for Damian downstairs. When Damian gets downstairs, he looks at me and says, "When we get to the stadium, I need your leather jacket." I'm a little suspicious, but I say,"Okay." He kisses me on the cheek. We go to the gym for a few hours. After that, we go back to the hotel, shower and put on our ring gear. When I get out of the shower, Rhea says, "I left a surprise for you on the bed." I look at the bed. It's a new set of ring gear. It's purple and black with a little bit of white. "You and Damian want me to wear this in the ring?" I ask. "Yeah. Why not? You'll look super sexy in it." I very hesitantly put it on. I turn around to show Rhea. "See? Super sexy, like I said." She says. I blush. We go downstairs to meet up with Damian. Rhea immediately has a question for Damian. She points to me and asks, "How sexy does she look, Damian?" He has the best answer. "You look absolutely breathtaking!" I blush again. I wasn't expecting that answer. We get into the Uber and headed to the stadium. When we get to the stadium, I hand Damian my leather jacket. He thanks me and turns to Rhea. "Show our beautiful girl the clubhouse. I'll be back." Rhea and I walk a little further down the hallway. She suddenly opens a door. It's a dressing room like mine, but about ten times bigger. "This is the clubhouse. It's got everything you can possibly think of. We don't spend much time in here, but when we do, it's a lot of fun." She shuts the door, and we meet up with Damian and head out to the ring for our promo. When we head out to the ring, I ask Damian for my leather jacket back. " Not yet, I need to use it for the promo." We get into the ring and are handed microphones. Rhea starts talking first. "As most of you may be aware, we have a new member of the WWE roster. As you may also be aware, Damian and I have been looking for a new team member for months now." Damian goes from there. "Rhea and I watched her debut match and were so impressed that we decided to make her a member of the team of terror. Please help us in welcoming the Wheelchair Warrior to the team." Damian then slips my leather jacket on. "Turn around." He says. I do, and the crowd goes crazy. I take it off, and Damian says, "Look at the back." I flip the jacket around. I see a skull patch that is black and purple. Underneath the skull, it says," Team of terror." I hold up the jacket, say,"All rise!!!" and leave the ring. Damian and Rhea follow suit, and we go backstage.
Chapter 7-My make out session with Damian. Rhea's championship reign begins.
When we get back to the clubhouse, Rhea gets ready for her match. She kisses both of us, then heads towards the stage to make her entrance. We hear Rhea's theme song play, and then Damian drags me towards the back of the clubhouse and pins me against the wall. He takes off his shirt and I forget how to breathe. "I'm glad you're wearing that ring gear. You look so sexy in it." He says. He kisses me. It's definitely the most passionate kiss I've ever had. Better than Rhea's even. "Rhea and I are lucky. We have the hottest woman on the roster by our side." He pulls me close to him and I can feel his heartbeat. His heart is racing. I look up at him. There's a spark in his eyes that I can't explain. Then the door opens and we separate. It's Rhea. She looks excited. Then I see why. She has the women's world title around her waist. She gives us a hug. "Babe, I didn't realize that this was a title match." I said. "I've been after Liv Morgan for weeks now. It was a falls count anywhere match. By the time we were done, she was in the back of an ambulance with a broken neck. Anyway, Damian and I have something to ask you. But first, he needs to put his shirt back on." She says, looking directly at Damian . He blushes. "No, let him keep his shirt off. You know as well as I do that he looks hotter with it off." I said. Damian keeps his shirt off. I sit down next to Rhea. Damian sits across from us. "Damian and I want to know if you'd be willing to move in with us. Our relationship dynamic isn't the same without you." Rhea says. "I have to agree with Rhea. We're sad without you." Damian says. I think about it for a minute and look at their faces. They truly seem sad. "Yeah, I'll move in with you guys. Just tell me when." I said. "Does 2 weeks from now work?" Damian says. " Yeah it should." "Ok great. We love you." Damian says. We leave the clubhouse, close the door, and leave the stadium.
Chapter 8-moving in with Damian and Rhea.
5/26/2026
It's moving day, but it's also the raw after king and queen of the ring. I get up early and make sure I have everything. I've pretty much packed my life into three suitcases. One contains my ring gear, clothes, makeup and toiletries. The second one is just for my books. The third one is for blankets and knickknacks. I grab my boarding passes, lock the door and leave the keys in the mailbox. Then I get into my Uber and head to the airport. I board my plane and quickly check my phone. There's a text from Damian: "We'll be waiting for you at the airport in Boston. See you soon ❤️" I shut my phone off and settle in for my flight. 2.5 hours later, I land. Sure enough, Damian and Rhea are waiting for me. They hug me. "There's our queen. How was your flight, babe?" Damian says. "It was ok, but I missed you guys." I pick up my bags and then Damian, Rhea and I head to the stadium. Once we were in the rental car, Damian asked, "Why do you have three bags?" I explain what each one has in it. We get to the stadium and head straight to the clubhouse. 5 minutes later, we hear a knock at the door. It's Adam Pearce. "Damian, ladies, I'm sorry to interrupt, but Zelina Vega has been injured and I need someone to replace her in her match against Bianca Belair. Would one of you ladies be able to replace her ?" Rhea and I look at each other for a second. "I'll do it, Adam." I said. "Ok great, I'll see you in about 30 minutes." I give Damian and Rhea each a kiss, and then head to the ring. My match with Bianca is a long one, and she is a perfect competitor, but I come out on top. I go back to the clubhouse to recover from the match. Damian is waiting by the door. "Hey beautiful, great match. I've got to deal with Finn. I'll be back." Rhea is sitting on the couch. I go over and sit next to her. "You should've seen Damian after you won. He was so excited. He had the biggest smile on his face." She puts her arm around me and we watch Damian's match together. We hear him berating Finn:"You were my brother. I loved you. But then you changed. What happened?" He's angry. As he should be. Finn betrayed him. Finn tries to execute his finisher , but Damian catches him and executes the South of heaven chokeslam and pins Finn. Damian comes backstage and says, "You ladies ready to go?" We link arms and leave the arena.
Chapter 9-moving in with Damian and Rhea part 2
We head to the airport and board our flight. We'll be there in a little over an hour. I sit down and Damian gives me a kiss. "Hey I'm proud of you. You know that right?" "Yeah of course I do." I said. "I'm proud of you too." Rhea says. She also gives me a kiss. Shortly after that, we land at JFK airport. We get our bags and get into our Uber. Damian says, "Hey, do you want to go to Times square?" Rhea and I both say, "No!!" Damian says,"Why not?" I set him straight. "First of all, babe it's two am. Rhea and I are tired. Second of all, we know how you are really feeling about your match with Finn, and you're trying to hide your feelings by wanting to do something fun." "Yeah, you're right. Let's just go home." We spend the next fifteen minutes of the Uber ride in complete silence. Pretty soon, Rhea says, "We're home , you guys." We get out of the Uber and Rhea unlocks the door. "Welcome home, babe. We love you." All three of us went to the bedroom and fell asleep.
Chapter 10-My fun day with Rhea. I have sex with both of them. 5/27/2026
When Rhea and I wake up, we can't find Damian anywhere. He's not in the bedroom, bathroom or living room. He's not in the kitchen either. Then Rhea finds a note on the kitchen counter:"Good morning, my beauties. I'm gonna be at the gym all day. Just need to clear my head after the match last night. I've left 2 bouquets of flowers and some tickets to a showing of Hamilton on our bedside table. I'll have a surprise waiting for you guys when you get home. Damian." He put the word surprise in quotation marks. " Why does he do that?" I ask Rhea. "Do what?" she asks. "Put the word surprise in quotation marks." I said. "Oh." She whispers in my ear, "It means that he wants sex." Holy crap. I shove my thoughts aside and leave with Rhea. I give her a kiss. "I love you." I said. "I love you too." She says. We immediately hail a cab and head to Broadway. Before we enter the theater, we turn off our phones. We enjoyed the show. After we leave the theater, Rhea checks her phone. "Damian's not going to be home for another hour. Do you want to go get some pizza or a hot dog? I'm starving." We decided on pizza.
Then we head home. Damian is waiting for us. "There are my queens. You guys ready? We're going to get freaky." He smiles and winks. Rhea literally drags me into the bedroom. She takes off my shirt, and starts to take off my bra, but suddenly stops. "Are you sure you want to do this, Mami?" I nod, but mostly out of nervousness. This is the first time that she, Damian and I have been intimate. She continues removing my bra. After my bra is off, she carries me to the bed. Damian is waiting. I'm so nervous. Rhea places me in the middle of the bed. She lays right next to me, whispering in my ear while Damian gets on top of me. Rhea caresses me as Damian penetrates me. I close my eyes, moan and fall into a state of euphoria. Damian goes deeper and Rhea keeps caressing me. My moaning gets louder and I climax. Rhea says, "OMG, you're so perfect Mami." I fall asleep in her arms.
Chapter 11-My first interview with Cathy Kelley.
5/30/2026
Damian, Rhea and I are in Atlanta for smackdown. We don't have a match or a promo today, so I don't get why we're here. " Why are we here again?" I ask Damian. "We're here because Cathy Kelley wants to interview you. You haven't done an interview since before the draft." He kisses me. It's a long, lingering kiss and I don't want it to end. But I know it has to. With both him and Rhea by my side, I head out to my interview. "Corey, Wade, I'm here with the wheelchair warrior. "What did your debut match against Zelina Vega feel like? What was going through your head?" Cathy asks me. "Well first of all, my first thought was "I can't do this." But I did it. I was super proud of myself. Then Damian says, "We were super proud of her too. That's why we made her a member of the team. We love our girl." He kisses my neck. Rhea does the same. "Thanks for your time." Cathy says. We head back to the clubhouse and finish watching the rest of smackdown.
Chapter 12-some special alone time with Damian
10:30 pm
I'm back at the hotel, getting out of my ring gear when I hear a knock at the door. "Come in." I say. It's Damian. "Don't bother getting out of your ring gear. I'm gonna take it off of you anyway." He says. He pins me against the wall, and starts kissing and biting my neck. "Why aren't you with Rhea tonight?" I ask. " Rhea got her alone time with me last night. It's your turn." He says. He unhooks my bra, and I can see the passion in his eyes. It's electric. He carries me to the bed, gets on top of me and says, "you are the best thing that's ever happened to me and Rhea. You know that,right?" "Of course I do. You guys are the best thing that's ever happened to me." As he takes my panties off, he caresses me and kisses me. I close my eyes and moan as he penetrates me. "I love you so much, babe." He says as he goes deeper. I moan louder and say, I love you too, papi." He runs his hands up and down my body. I shiver. Damian smiles . "You like that don't you?" I nod and then he does it again. I cry out passionately, and climax. I eventually fall asleep in his arms.
(Chapters 13-23 will be included in a separate post)
