100%.

I wonder if part, I mean, he kind of said it so much, but I kind of wonder how much of this is rooted in real and how much of it was just him connecting the pieces storyline wise.

He noted how

at his last match, at the Saturday Night's Main Event for his last match, he noted how Obafemi, how great Oba looked, and Sol Ruka.

So that makes sense to say on the air, to piece together why he's doing a classic that's going to have his name attached to it, that's going to cross over between the main roster and NXT.

But I wonder if, go a level deeper into the realism behind the scenes, I wonder if the company felt, hey, part of the success we're having with Obafemi

was we got him off to a great start, letting people see him on that side enhancement event work against Cody Rhodes.

Granted, the match was a no contest.

I think Drew interfered, if I remember.

But still, and Sol Ruka, she looked like, I wonder if there's some rooted belief of this kind of introduction under this kind of presentation on this type of stage.

This told the audience, hey, pay attention.

Don't get up and don't get on your phone and start scrolling.

Don't get up and go to the bathroom or the merchandise tent.

Like, I wonder if they feel that this is some kind of way that John Cena's name being attached to it lets the fans know, hey, I may not be familiar with this guy or girl.

You're telling me from NXT.

But if they're in this John Cena thing, I got to pay attention.

I mean, I think that's that's got to be.

And the origins got to, I guess, go back to December.

They feel there's some some measurable success here.

I agree, and it's why I stick with my argument that it should be something that they end the year with in December.
