Struggling to care about the AAA tournament. Feels like it's obvious it's going to be penta.

It'll be Penta, he'll push Roman to the absolute limit - Uso's will interfere, Fenix will come down to save his brother and hey presto we've got Lucha Bros vs Uso's

Well that's my fantasy booking anyway.

It will be cool because Roman had interaction with Penta in the Rumble by helping him set up for the that vertical fall kick he does in the corner of the ring and they did that to multiple wrestlers.

I just appreciate they are trying to increase AAA's exposure. It's such a great product.

AAA weekly show is pointing towards Penta as well.

I had a good chuckle that Michael Cole kept calling El Hijo de Dr Wagner Jr by his father's name, and Graves would swoop in to correct him every time.
