Doesn't that seem a little hypocritical after all the jip he's given TNA over the years? I know it's technically a different company and it's Jeff Jarrett at the helm rather than Dixie Carter but it still sounds off to me.
Next thing you know his feud with Vince Russo will be revealed to be a work.
I'm guessing Rusev is talking about Sasha? Quite a waste having the Hardys on the the pre-show, definitely the most over faces they have. Looking forward to the new southpaw, best thing WWE have done in years!
It's real sad that there's been pretty much zero talk in here of the greatest wrestling tournament of all time.
Nobody is excited about the teased reunification of the Golden Lovers
NJPW will probably make up 80%+ of the best matches this year, it's crazy. Their story telling is also far and away better than anything I can remember in my years watching wrestling too.

Most of the big shows do and I expect them to do more and more as they expand into America. The Japanese commentary is pretty entertaining even on the shows with no English.
Really looking forward to TakeOver tonight. Asuka is a class act, and I'll be so gutted to see her drop the belt. It seems inevitable, from the whole Ember Moon getting Bayley's locker, to the last match where they built up Ember's Eclipse (no one having kicked out of it, Ember not managing to hit Asuka with it, etc), and Asuka's slightly cheap win. But the silver lining is Asuka's record breaking reign (not just for NXT), and her impending move up to the main roster.
The other match I'm really excited for it Black vs Itami. I've loved every match we've had from Black so far. It was interesting to see him plough through the recent RoH signings (who have had little fanfare, perhaps because of the allegations from RoH?). I wonder if Cole will turn up tonight (Adam, not Michael, heaven forbid). Black pulls off his shtick so effortlessly, he feels genuine, it almost doesn't feel like a gimmick.
I'm not that excited for McIntyre vs. Roode and AoP vs. SAnitY, but I think they'll be entertaining. Gargano vs. Andrade should be really good, but I'm not that excited or interested in it.
The injury was the best thing to happen to her. Apparently they were going to push her from SummerSlam to 'Mania. They need to creatively fix her. Surprise everyone and have her turn heel on Sasha. Although after Rusev's tweet it sounds like Sasha is a heel to fans in real life. I actually like her more for that.
