John Cena is down to his final four appearances in his 2025 retirement world tour, with all the remaining appearances now in the United States.
Yesterday’s show at Crown Jewel: Perth was his last overseas match and with his win against AJ Styles, Cena moved to 100 premium live events wins, moving to #2 chart behind The Undertaker at 107. With only one PLE left for Cena, there’s no chance of him matching or even surpassing Taker’s record.
Cena will be off television for the next month as his next televised appearance is on the November 10 episode of Monday Night Raw live from the TD Garden in Boston. Cena will also be at the following Raw on November 17 from Madison Square Garden in New York.
Cena’s last PLE will be at the Survivor Series on November 29 from Petco Park in San Diego and his final appearance will be Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13 at Capital One Arena in Washington.
More matches were added to the WrestleDream pay-per-view last night on the Homecoming episode of Collision.
A trios match between The Demand and The Hurt Syndicate was set up for the broadcast while Thekla will be taking on Jamie Hayter. Both these matches will be part of the pay-per-view.
For the pre-show, now marketed as Tailgate Brawl instead of Zero Hour, FTR will take on JetSpeed and Willow Nightingale teams up with Harley Cameron to battle Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford.
Tailgate Brawl will air on TNT starting at 7PM ET and will also stream on HBO Max, leading to the WrestleDream pay-per-view.
The crowd during the Crown Jewel: Perth post-show were a bit rowdy and got even rowdier when Triple H showed up for his portion of the broadcast.
The Aussies chanted “We want Edge” at Triple H as the panel chuckled but Triple H did not acknowledge the chants and somehow, powered through his speech, even though he was drowned out by the same fans who started signing Copeland’s popular theme song.
As the wrestling saying goes, Triple H “no sold” all of that and even other chants for MJF, “f*ck Saudi,” and “We want Mania.”
Rhea Ripley eventually broke character when she was on the panel and the fans behind them started chanting “Asuka is a shit c*unt,” bursting out laughing and covering her mouth.
“Okay, it’s a family show,” Jackie Redmond said. “This is my country, guys,” Ripley replied laughing.
AEW returns with Collision in its regular time slot of 8PM tonight, airing on TNT and streaming on HBO Max. This episode is not live and was taped this past Wednesday.
The show is marketed as Homecoming Collision as it took place from Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida.
Scheduled to take place are Kris Statlander, Toni Storm, and Harley Cameron vs Triangle of Madness in a trios match, Kota Ibushi vs Josh Alexander, Megan Bayne and FTR vs Willow Nightingale and JetSpeed in a mixed trios match, Eddie Kingston vs The Beast Mortos, and Max Caster and Anthony Bowens vs Big Bill and Bryan Keith.
The Hardys seem to be envy of Mercedes Mone and have started their own collection of winning tag team titles from different promotions!
The legendary tag team, who were already in possession of the TNA, NXT, and 4th Rope Wrestling Tag Team titles, have now won the HOG Tag Team titles from the House of Glory promotion.
The win came last night at the With Glory Comes Pride event, held at the NYC Arena in New York. They defeated champions The Mane Event, the tag team of Jay Lyon and Midas Black, in the co-main event of the show.
The Hardys will defend the TNA and NXT Tag Team titles at the Bound For Glory pay-per-view tomorrow against Team 3D in a tables match.
On the fourth attempt at a victory over Cody Rhodes in a one-on-one encounter, Seth Rollins finally managed to do it at Crown Jewel in Perth, Australia, winning the Crown Jewel men’s championship in the process.
Flying solo without the aid of The Oracle Paul Heyman or the Brons, Rollins got the win after a big stomp from the second rope, but the win might have an asterisk as Rollins used the Rolex watch that Cody gifted him at WrestleMania XL to knock him out first.
Seth wanted to use the watch as a weapon earlier in the match but then decided against it. When Rhodes kept kicking out of everything, Rollins used it after a small ref bump.
Following the match, Rollins snatched the microphone from Cathy Kelley’s hand before she even uttered a word and said that with this win, he is no longer just the greatest of his generation, but he’s the greatest of all time.
Triple H presented the Crown Jewel title and the diamond ring as well and then Rollins posed with Stephanie Vaquer in the middle of the ring to end the broadcast.
John Cena and AJ Styles put on a classic at Crown Jewel and both paid tribute to many Superstars who they crossed paths with over the years.
Cena has been doing these tribute finishers to pay homage to those who he cannot wrestle again and in this match he did a total of six which drove the crowd crazy a couple of times.
Cena first hit the Skull Crushing Finale in honor of The Miz and then did the Accolade by Rusev, which sparked a Rusev Day chant. He then did the Walls of Jericho to a big pop from the crowd and Y2J chants before hitting a picture-perfect Sister Abigail. The crowd inside the RAC Arena quickly turned on their flashlights on their cell phones and created a beautiful firefly tribute to Bray Wyatt.
But Cena was not finished, he hit a middle rope DDT and then an RKO from Randy Orton and fans then started chanting for a 619. Wade Barrett chuckled and said he’d love to see it but doubts it’s physically possible for Cena to pull off. Cena, feeding off the crowd, did tease it but was cut off by AJ Styles, who received the only boos in the match.
Cena had one final tribute, first a chokeslam and then a Tombstone Piledriver from The Undertaker before he pinned AJ with the AA.
Styles also did moves in honor of his opponents, including the Coquina Clutch from Samoa Joe, Angel Wings from Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian’s Fade To Black piledriver, and the Sweet Chin Music from Shawn Michaels.
AJ confirmed yesterday that 2026 will be his final year as an in-ring competitor.
Here are the results from the Crown Jewel: Perth premium live event which took place from the RAC Arena in Perth, Australia.
Bronson Reed defeated Roman Reigns in an Australian street fight; Stephanie Vaquer defeated Tiffany Stratton to win the Crown Jewel Women’s title; John Cena defeated AJ Styles; Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky defeated Asuka and Kairi Sane; Seth Rollins defeated Cody Rhodes to win the Crown Jewel title.
AJ Styles got a special introduction at Crown Jewel, courtesy of John Cena, who handed a note after his entrance to ring announcer Alicia Taylor for her to read.
Styles was seemingly unaware of what was going to happen and was caught by surprise at what he heard.
AJ was introduced as “The definition of Total Nonstop Action,” “the Ace and undisputed boss of the Bullet Club,” and “the face that runs the place” to a big pop from the crowd.
Styles was mostly surprised by the Bullet Club line and turned his head around and said, “Oh shit,” nodding his head to Cena showing that he was impressed.
The two went on to have a fantastic match, hitting the finishers of several of their peers.
The definition of Total Nonstop Action.
The Ace and Undisputed Boss of The Bullet Club.
We’ll see if he can Beat Up John Cena One Final Time.
The face that runs the place. The Phenomenal AJ Styles.
Mercedes Mone won the BODYSLAM Wrestling Women’s title last night in Denmark after she defeated Alissa Ink, ending her 1140-day reign as champion.
This was her first time in Denmark, and a result that was largely expected as she now has reached the record of Ultimo Dragon who was in possession of 10 title belts at the same time a few decades ago.
Mone is on track to beat that record as she goes for #11 in a match against Jody Threat for the WPW Women’s title at the Rumble in the Burt show promoted by Winnipeg Pro Wrestling on Sunday, October 19.
The champ changed her name on social media to “Último Moné” and is now in possession of the TBS title, CMLL Women’s title, RevPro Women’s title, Queen of Southside title, Owen Hart Cup title, EWA Women’s title, Prime Time Women’s title, BestYa Wrestling Women’s title, Discovery Wrestling Women’s title, and Bodyslam Women’s title.
Stephanie Vaquer is the new Crown Jewel Women’s champion after she defeated Tiffany Stratton at Crown Jewel: Perth.
La Primera inflicted Stratton’s first defeat of 2025 after she hit her new complicated top rope finisher, landing right on the WWE Women’s champion for the pinfall after Stratton missed her Prettiest Moonsault Ever.
After the match, an emotional Vaquer received the Crown Jewel diamond ring and championship from Triple H. Vaquer embraced Triple H for a while before she was interviewed by Jackie Redmond.
“Today we made history together. This is a beautiful championship. This represents all the motivation, support, and love you all have given me,” Vaquer said. “You believe in me. Now I believe in me.”
She is the second Crown Jewel champion following Liv Morgan who won it last year.
Roman Reigns tasted a singles defeat for just the second time in 17 months, losing to Bronson Reed in the opening match of Crown Jewel: Perth earlier today in Australia.
The match was full of interference from Bron Breakker, and Jimmy and Jey Uso but it was The Usos who eventually led to the downfall of The Tribal Chief in this particular match.
The ending came as Jey Uso went to spear Reed but Reed moved and instead, Jey speared Roman through a waiting table in the corner. A Tsunami from Reed a few moments later and a three count, and Reigns was seeing stars.
After the match, Reigns argued with Jimmy and Jey, telling them that the world thinks that he can’t do shit on his own. He told them that he loves both of them, but he does not want to see their faces until Christmas.
Prior to today, Reigns’ previous loss was at WrestleMania XL against Cody Rhodes, losing the WWE Championship.
WWE released a total of nine NXT and developmental stars yesterday according to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful and Cory Hays of Bodyslam, with Wes Lee and Stevie Turner being the most high-profile names.
Joining Lee and Turner are developmental talent Leigh Laurel, Haze Jameson, Summer Sorrell, Brayden “BJ” Ray, Drake Morreaux, and Jamar Hampton.
Lance Anoa’i, who has been signed with the company for a year but never actually made it on television due to injuries, was also released. He is the son of Samu.
Lee has not been used on television since late July and was part of The High Ryze faction. Turner was the resident “prime minister” on EVOLVE and previously was the assistant of Ava on NXT.
Ray, Sorrell, Morreaux, Laurel, and Jameson were part of the WWE LFG reality series.
Hello Everybody! It’s @TheMagnumDA with another installment of the Pick’em report.
This month, we’re all the way down under in Perth, Australia for CROWN JEWEL – tonight, we’re going to determine the Women’s and Men’s Crown Jewel Champions, and we’re also going to determine who will walk out with the WOPC Championship – Colin has had a stranglehold on the title since SummerSlam, but we’re going to see if he can hold on to that title when he faces off with yours truly!
Confidence Pool Pick’em style – at the time of post, we have five major matches on this show. We’ll score 5 points for the match we’re most confident about…and 1 point for the pick we’re least confident about.
Who will walk out with the championship after Crown Jewel? Let’s find out right now.
ON WITH THE PICKS!
John Cena vs. AJ Styles
Colin: It’s great we get to see this one final time. Styles got the best out of Cena a few times when they wrestled, and while I am not expecting a classic, this should still be one hell of a match. Cena needs one more to reach 100 wins at PPVs/PLEs and an AJ loss wouldn’t be catastrophic for him anyway, so give me Cena with four points.
Magnum: Boy, am I glad that the brass are listening. This was a match the fans wanted as part of John Cena’s retirement tour, and I’m looking forward to it, as well. I was there at Royal Rumble 2017 – Cena vs. Styles was one of the greatest title bouts I’ve ever seen live. Will they turn it on and turn it up one more time? I’m thinking so. Give me John Cena to win this final encounter. Five points for the pick.
Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky vs. The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane)
Colin: KARIIIIIIII! I love Asuka screaming Kairi’s name LOL! Peeps are gonna be mad if Ripley loses here but for some reason, I’m thinking this will be a Kabuki Warriors win. They would benefit more if they win and maybe add some spice to Ripley vs Sky in the future. Undecided, but I’m going to pick Asuka and Kairi here with one point.
Magnum: This has been an incredibly captivating feud – Asuka is quickly positioning herself as one of the top heels in the company – she is completely overbearing, she’s abusive, and she’s getting quite a bit of heat with this change in attitude. Look for the hometown kid Ripley to shine in this match – I hope this isn’t the place where Iyo turns on Rhea. For now, I’ll take Ripley and Sky to win this matchup. Four points for the pick.
Australian Street Fight
Roman Reigns vs. Bronson Reed
Colin: What’s the difference between an Australian street and a New York street fight or a Chicago street fight? They should just name these with a simple name, like street fight. It works, right? Anyway, I think Reed will get his “WrestleMania moment” here in front of his own crowd. He already jobbed to Reigns in Paris, it makes zero sense to lose again. Plus a street fight loss means there could be a ton of interference so…TSUNAMIIIIIII! Reed wins, with two points.
Magnum: An Aussie Street Fight, eh? As a stupid American who loves his stereotypes, I say there better be a boomerang involved. Or a didgeridoo. Either way, this is actually a tough call because Roman’s really been working hard to make Big Bronson Reed look like a main event player. The question is…will Roman put Reed over the top in his own home country? As proven in their previous matchup, Reed doesn’t necessarily need to pin Roman to do something that will get him over. I think this is probably the end of their feud before War Games, so I’ll go ahead and take Roman to win, but I’m only going to put one point on it – it’s very possible that Reed could get the biggest win of his entire career at this show.
Women’s WWE Crown Jewel Championship
Stephanie Vaquer (Raw’s Women’s World Champion) vs. Tiffany Stratton (SmackDown’s WWE Women’s Champion)
Colin: Stratton has not been pinned in 2025 so far and this is not for her title. Vaquer needs a big statement win, and this could be it. Should be a great match and yes, I’m ready for the Devil’s Kiss on Tiffy! Okay okay, I will settle down. This is going to be La Primera’s time. Vaquer wins, three points.
Magnum: Here’s another challenging pick! Having said that, I’ve started to notice a certain trend when it comes to the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship…whoever wins the match usually ends up losing their World Championship first. If I had to pick between who was going to have a longer title reign from this point on, I would roll with Vaquer. So following that logic, I will go ahead and say that it’s Tiffy Time! I’m picking Stratton to win the Crown Jewel Championship, but I’m only putting two points on it.
WWE Crown Jewel Championship
Cody Rhodes (SmackDown’s Undisputed WWE Champion) vs. Seth Rollins (Raw’s World Heavyweight Champion)
Colin: If there’s one match that Rollins has not been able to win for the past few years is a big one against Cody Rhodes. He’s been on the short end of the stick three times already…and then helped Cody win the WWE title. Go figure! I think it’s time for Rollins to pick up a victory against QB1 and somehow, someway, he’s going to get that today! Seth wins with five points.
Magnum: If everything plays out as planned, and we get the War Games match we’re expecting (rumored to be some kind of combination involving Punk/Roman/Uso/Fatu/Knight vs. Rollins/Reed/Breakker/Lesnar/Theory), then I would expect The Vision to get a huge boost in this matchup. It’s possible that Lesnar and/or Theory help Rollins win this match. Either way, I think we’ll find out Cody’s next challenger at Survivor Series, seeing as though he’s not in the plans for War Games. Tonight belongs to The Vision, and more specifically…The Visionary. I’ll take Seth Freakin’ Rollins to win, and I’ll put three points on it.
Okay everyone, that’s going to do it for us at the Pick’em report! Thanks for checking us out at Wrestling-Online. We look forward to seeing you next month for the Survivor Series and WAR GAMES! Plenty of fun to come in November – see you then! @TheMagnumDA signing off.

The MFTs returned on Smackdown and rudely interrupted an otherwise excellent match between Sami Zayn and Shinsuke Nakamura for the WWE United States title.
A hooded man with paint on his face caused the DQ ending after he took out Nakamura. He then removed the hoodie to reveal himself as the returning Tama Tonga. Standing on the apron, he stared down Zayn but before Zayn could have a chance at a one-on-one, JC Mateo, Talla Tonga, and Tonga Loa came up on each side of the ring to surround Zayn.
The MFTs then beat up Zayn and even Nakamura, who entered the ring to fight them off. It was all in vain though as both were left lying in the ring.
Solo Sikoa also made an appearance and stood tall with the rest of his faction as the crowd chanted “f*ck you Solo.”
After an absence of four months, Shinsuke Nakamura returned on Smackdown to answer Sami Zayn’s WWE United States title open challenge.
Nakamura came out to his old theme song and received a decent pop from the Australian crowd. The two had a great match until they were interrupted by the returning MFTs, who decimated both Nakamura and Zayn.
This was the Japanese star’s first match on WWE television since the June 13 episode of Smackdown where he was involved in a fatal four-way match along with Andrade, Damian Priest, and Cody Rhodes in the King of the Ring tournament.
Nakamura’s opportunities on television were very limited in 2025, and apart from a few appearances in March, he has not done much for the company so far.
NXT Women’s champion Jacy Jayne was injured at a non-televised live event yesterday in Columbus, Ohio.
Jayne teamed up with Fallon Henley to take on Sol Ruca and Zaria in a tag match and according to reports by fans, Jayne clutched her quad and quickly tagged out. Fatal Influence eventually went on to lose the match.
The referee threw up the X hand sign after the match was over, which is the sign used for a real injury. The WWE medical team came down to assist her at ringside and she could not walk to the back on her own and had to be helped out by officials.
It’s unclear how severe the injury is at the moment.
Nic Nemeth sat down with Chris Van Vliet at West Coast Creative Studio in Hollywood, California to discuss leaving WWE in 2023 and TNA was the right fit, whether joining AEW was ever a possibility, wrestling Goldberg at SummerSlam 2019, the infamous Iron Man match against Seth Rollins that was hijacked by the crowd, the messy New Year’s Eve toast with AJ Lee, possibly making a return to WWE TV, a potential Hall of Fame induction, and more!
On why TNA was the choice:
“I didn’t want to sign anywhere because I just got out of a long-term relationship, and I didn’t want to get out of a 20-year marriage and go right down to being engaged like six months later. So I really go I need to be able to have the freedom that I could go to Mexico, I could go to Japan, I could go to Germany, I could go anywhere, and then not have to be like, well, it has to be based on someone else’s schedule. Scott D’Amore was begging me. He’s like, three years, two years, six months. And I mean this in a very positive way. He goes, ‘Dude, you’re gonna love it here. Wait until you see the locker room. You would be a huge piece here.’ And, I mean begging. ‘Give me something about where you’re related to this company that we can use, and it’ll help you and help them.’ He started having a couple of people text me. He had Roode text me, which is pretty great. Well, we’re buddies, but it was just like him texting me out of the group chat like, something important is happening. It was really funny and I was like, All right, I’ll give it a shot. I go eight dates, so that way I can still travel the world and go test myself. One day in, it’s not even fake, it’s real. I’m like, Oh, this locker room kicks ass. Everybody is open to creative ideas and they’re really looking for some little spark just to keep rocking and rolling along the way. The really funny thing is, the first taping I was at, I’m like man, everyone’s so great. Locker room’s ridiculously nice. I know some people. I just see everybody and I go, Yeah, man, I’m so mad. I’m gonna stay here. One taping in, and one taping in, Scott D’Amore is out, my boss, who said, here’s what we’re gonna do, here’s what we’re gonna do, he’s out.”
On whether he was close to joining AEW:
“I wasn’t. I love so many people there. I’ve had a couple of conversations with Tony in the past, and I rooted for those guys every step of the way. AEW being a thing helped a bunch of people out, worst-case scenario, with negotiating and setting up their career for years down the line. I go if this ends in two or three years, it helped a bunch of people out and put some other people on TV, and they’re rocking and rolling and doing their thing. I watched every Wednesday, because I have to talk about it on Thursday. And it’s another one where I gotta watch wrestling. It’s like kind of a joke, but I’ve like come to learn all the people on the show and watching what they do. I don’t know if I could do all the stuff that everyone does. Their top circle, the whole show, really, it has so many different moving parts and pieces to it that I don’t know that I could, from my old style. I can adapt to anything, and I have been, and I even watched. The 2025 version of me still applies some different things that I wouldn’t have done a few years ago. But I don’t know if in a 35-45 minute match, if it wasn’t with me and Bryan Danielson or Jon Moxley, those guys where I know what they’ve done, and I can move around and do some things, but it’s like, if it’s remembering a sequence like I’m getting 30 guys in Contra every two minutes, I would be more vacant in the match, instead of like feeling the emotion and just remembering it. I go, I don’t know how they do it, but when it comes to those pay-per-views, they blow the roof off, and it’s incredible. And I just really thought with TNA, I go, I will never, ever be Kurt Angle. He’s just my hero, but I know that he did something special with going to TNA and I go, maybe, just maybe, this guy that a bunch of people, most people, seem to respect and have been waiting to see what I can do, maybe me showing up here and being involved could be another spark that does something, because they’re already getting talked about and making some moves, and they’ve been a insane brand for years. But I go, maybe, just maybe, me being there makes this a bigger and better place by 1%. Then falling in love with the locker room and everyone behind the scenes, I just go, this is the fit. I wasn’t going to go anywhere. I didn’t want to. A couple dates for somebody and a couple dates at AEW, 100% I would have done that. But I just go I need to travel the world and be able to sleep at night knowing that I can go, because I talked this sh*t for 15 years. ‘No one’s better, no one can follow me.’ Sorry about the booking, but that’s not my call. And it’s like, now it’s like, back it up or don’t. And I had to, and I would have gone almost anywhere for a few dates just to check it out, but TNA was the fit. I would have watched their progression from the outside if I wasn’t there, but I’m rooting for all those guys and girls.”
On a possible WWE return:
“Maybe, but I really love what I’m doing. I really, really love what we’re doing as a company, and what I get to do on my free time, plus with the company. So sure, possibly something. [But it would still be with TNA?] Yeah, and that’s fine. I’ve said this since they started talking together and making things public about everything with WWE’s relationship, I said, if I can help TNA get something, I will be there. If it’s to go to NXT and have a match, I’m not interested. I’ve done everything I could possibly do in NXT, and if it’s to do something with someone that I worked with, like Randy or Cody or Seth or something, I would be open to it if it helped TNA do something, or make a stride, or just get some kind of box checked to help us out. But I otherwise, I will be cheering along on the outside.”
Why not NXT?
“I don’t think there’s anywhere for me to go there. I was the champ, and if I went there and was in a battle royal and lost, what am I doing? That doesn’t help TNA get on the map somewhere. Now, if it’s come fight our champion and because of this, we’ll have someone come to TNA and do something. Please use me to negotiate, because I want what’s best for TNA, and there’s some things there. But for the most part, I would much rather NXT, especially what NXT is, let’s get Leon Slater there. Let’s get some people who are young, up-and-comers, who get a piece of that. And then maybe the eyes of the boss of instead of just Shawn Michaels, maybe Triple H goes, ‘Who the hell is this guy? Who is this girl? Oh, my God. Okay, we can bring them up and do something with them.’ That’s what I would much rather see. We have an insane talent roster, guys and gals that some I’m just getting to know, but some I’ve been locked in and following, and that would be great for them. I don’t think me being there helps TNA. And if it does, you bet your ass I’m there.”
On the infamous Iron Man match with Seth Rollins:
“This was at the time where, no matter what you think of Roman now, he’s amazing, 11 out of 10. But at the time, he was being forced on people to constantly be the guy, and he’s great. But just at the time, he was force fed nonstop. Vince goes, ‘This is gonna stick one way or another, whether it takes 6 years or 10 or whatever.’ They’re like, God, we’re so sick of this, the same guy every time he’s in the main event, and he’s out. They go, God, I wish the guys fighting for the Intercontinental title would be out there. I wish Seth would be in the main event. Wish Dolph would get it. We got it. We got a shot. Finally, against the boss’s maiden wishes, we’re going to main event this pay-per-view, Intercontinental title is in the main event. It’s an Iron Man match. Seth, who you love, Dolph, who you mostly hate, and are good wrestlers. The guys that you are begging for, the workhorse guys, to get a shot. All the stars align. Vince still says no, and we talk him into it. We’re main eventing the show, and like three minutes in the crowd just starts doing the clock. I just put a hold on. I’m like, man, what is happening? And they’re not even doing the clock right, so it’s kind of screwing me up. Then I missed something, because they’re going, ‘7,6…’ and it’s like 10 or something. I’m like, what? It’s not even a countdown. It’s just the time. And then a third of the way through they go, ‘Don’t worry, don’t worry, we’re taking it off the screen.’ I go, ‘No, no, don’t do that.’ They take it off the screen. So the crowd just starts going ’10, 9…’ every 10 seconds. It’s not even every minute now, they’re doing it every 10 seconds. So now, instead of the last 10 seconds of every minute, it’s every 10 seconds. They’re just counting down. And now I don’t know what time it is, and now, most importantly, they’re not paying attention to the match. I go, man, that’s on us to get them back. We tried, and it wasn’t my best night, because I was a little out of it, because I was trying to do something on the fly that would change. But I’m trying to express that to Seth, while we’re going to these pieces that we got to get to every certain amount of minutes. And it’s just yeah, the crowd, internet crowd, live crowd, they begged for a shot for the IC title, for Seth, for myself, anything but Roman, they got it, and Vince went, ‘See I was right, you’re all wrong.’ And then it was out. So thanks a lot.”
