I like it. I have no idea how they book the finish but I'm cool with that. This roster SHOULD yield 'oh shit, THESE FOLKS are finna wrestle!? For real!?' moments multiple times a year. Swerve vs Will is one of those for sure. And yeah, they've worked together plenty, they're both cooking, and it should be a good time even if they end up with a screwy finish at Forbidden Door.

I REALLY enjoyed that gauntlet match. They did what they could to make a lot of people look good in the match. I was into it. And I was SHOCKED when Will came out there. It looked like it got the crowd going too.
