The Suplex Shoot

Dave Meltzer stirred up some debate this week after comparing Kyle Fletcher and Bron Breakker, claiming Fletcher could become the guy of this generation within the next five years. He even went as far as saying Fletcher is the better overall wrestler.

That’s a bold take considering the run Breakker has been on. Bron brings freak-level athleticism, intensity, and that Steiner DNA that screams main-event star. Meanwhile Fletcher has quietly built a reputation as one of the best young in-ring performers in AEW and the international scene.

Two different styles. Two different paths.
Both part of wrestling’s next generation.

But if you had to bet on one future face of the industry…

Who are you taking?
Bron Breakker or Kyle Fletcher?

Cody Rhodes winning the WWE Championship again on SmackDown — this time taking the title from Drew McIntyre — is already drawing serious backlash online. The YouTube clip of Cody regaining the championship has surpassed 100,000 dislikes and counting, and fans are clearly voicing their frustration.

Is Cody a bigger draw than Drew McIntyre? Realistically, yes. Cody is one of WWE’s biggest stars and heading into WrestleMania the company is always going to lean toward the name that moves the most interest and attention. From a pure business standpoint, it makes sense.

But is the e frustration from fans really about Cody or something else?

Could it be about how Drew McIntyre keeps getting booked? Drew wins the title and barely gets a chance to establish a reign before it’s over. One defense against Sami Zayn and then it’s right back off him. For someone WWE constantly presents as a top-level main eventer, his title runs often feel short and unfinished. Fans are starting to notice the pattern.

The bigger issue now is Cody vs. Randy Orton.

On paper, that matchup is box office. Two huge names. Former Legacy teammates. Plenty of real history. But right now… there isn’t much of a storyline driving it. There isn’t much hype. And that’s a problem, because half the excitement of a WrestleMania match comes from the build and anticipation, not just the names involved.

Then there’s the heel dynamic.

Turning Randy Orton heel at this stage of his career is tricky. He’s a beloved future Hall of Famer, and no matter what he does, fans are going to cheer him. The audience has too much respect for Randy to fully boo him now.

So it raises an interesting question.

If Randy isn’t going to get booed… is it finally time for Cody Rhodes to turn heel?

What do you think?

Tony Khan just made it official — Jacksonville is now the permanent home for ROH tapings at WJCT Studios, with the next set already locked in for March 22. This is a huge step for Ring of Honor — finally giving the brand a base of operations instead of random taping nights.

Taking a page out of the NXT Orlando model, this gives ROH consistency, studio identity, logistical simplicity, and room to grow, not just bounce around as a side project. It also tells us Khan is thinking long-term and making good strategic moves across AEW & ROH right now.

What does it mean? Better product, clearer branding, and a stronger future for ROH.

But what do you think? Good move by Tony or too little too late?
