Unless it's a quick pump kick and done, I really think they shoulda switched the Bianca/Jade opponents around.

 

[Comrade Khan]

lots of ''bait and switch'' with opponents - guessing they realized they didn't want Bobby taking and L and Tama is too new to take an L as well

 

[Jimmy King]

Bobby is injured so that’s why he’s been replaced by Dawkins. Bobby got hurt while training for the match.

oh that's a shoot one too? damn - i know sometimes they just incorporate fake injuries or exaggerate them like this to make more story sense. That's a shame. I feel like a lot of ppl are getting injured last few months in both companies and it makes me sad

I'm almost sure (especially since I haven't read anything) that it's kayfabe to end up setting up Bloodline 2.0 vs. HurtProfits

 

[Comrade Khan]

if its kayfabe I think they just realized the original matchup was not a smart one and neither guy should be losing rn imo

[Deezy]

Ewwdrop better not sandbag when Jade lifts her up to slam her infront of 47264678000 Cargillionaires.

 

[Deezy]
