Karrion Kross and his faction’s future has been made clear, so we’ll see what’s the
latest there.
We’ll also check out what’s new with Naomi, Bayley, and much more
Starting things off with Karrion Kross and the latest updates with his faction
For weeks now, Kross has been teasing the formation of his faction, and their official
reveal came during a recent edition of Smackdown
Karrion Kross’ named his faction ‘The final testament’
And the members of the group officially include AOP, Paul Ellering, Karrion Kross, and Scarlett
And the vignette that aired for the group’s name reveal was pretty great and provided
a direct goal for what this faction had in mind and what they’re setting out to do
Kross and Scarlett explained that the last few years have been about breaking people
internally
Which is true.
Kross hasn’t been picking up a lot of big wins in recent years, but mostly everyone
he’s feuded with lately has gone through some massive persona change or has acted out
of the ordinary in some big fashion
Well now, Scarlett said that from this point on, it’ll be all about breaking people on
the outside
And first on their list is Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits
Everyone has been waiting for months to get a faction name reveal for Lashley and The
Profits and it finally came this week via a leaked report from WrestleVotes
They claimed that the faction’s name is ‘The Pride’
Bobby Lashley would basically go onto confirm and embrace the leak by changing his bio to
read that he was the leader of The Pride
So it looks like The Final Testament versus The Pride will be a big faction battle to
keep an eye on Smackdown
It’s basically a must win feud for both factions
There was a lot of hype when Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits got together last summer,
but since then, not much has really happened with them, and we’re still waiting around
to see what they do next
It’s been months that they’ve been together and they still haven’t even officially revealed
their faction name on WWE television
So there’s still hype surround the Pride, but it definitely appears that WWE doesn’t
really have a clear direction for them, and doesn’t really know what exactly the group
is and what they want them to be quite yet
They’ve lost all of their important title matches in recent months, flip and flop between
heel and babyface every other week, cancelled angles like the one with B-Fab…
so things surrounding The Pride are a little messy right now
But as far as The Final Testament, they seem to be off to a fiery and great start to their
run
They had a great few weeks of teasers, had great vignettes, had an official name reveal,
and officially made their plans clear as day
While The Pride, despite being around for months ahead of the Final Testament, still
has a bit of question marks in a lot of departments
So Final Testament definitely seems to be clicking on all cylinders and have everything
figured out, while The Pride is still trying to figure out who they really are and want
they wanna achieve
So it’ll be big feud for the both of them because they both desperately need this win
over the other
Final Testament is brand new so of course they need a big win to solidify themselves
And The Pride has been around for several months with no real signature wins together
as a group, so they could really benefit from this win too
It looks like we could end up seeing a series of matches from Kross versus Lashley, AOP
versus The Street Profits, or maybe a six man tag between Kross and AOP versus The Pride’s
three members
As always when it comes to factions, a big fan conversation is always gonna be the topic
of additional members for a faction
All of the top factions in WWE right now, such as The Bloodline, Judgment Day, Damage
Control and others, have all added new members to their factions as time went on
So who can eventually join Final Testament and have a role in the group as time goes
on?
well a lot of fans have still been discussing Bo Dallas
Bo hasn’t been used on WWE television ever since early 2023 when Bray first got sick
And then after Bray’s passing, the big conversation was if WWE should continue the Uncle Howdy
character and have him keep Bray’s legacy going strong on WWE television
There were a bunch of rumors over the summer and fall that Triple H and WWE were warming
up to the idea of keeping Howdy’s story on WWE television going for Bray’s legacy,
but ultimately it never happened
And just recently a lot of fans wondered if Bo Dallas was still on the roster even after
such a long time of inactivity, and reports came back and confirmed that Bo Dallas is
still very much employed by WWE
So it doesn’t necessarily have to be in the Uncle Howdy character, but even if Bo
Dallas could return as an edgier version of his normal self, a lot of fans would love
to see him get involved with The Final Testament
—————————
WWE and TNA have been in headlines together for a little while now
As everyone remembers, WWE and TNA did officially launch a partnership together a few years
back that saw Mickie James compete in a WWE Royal Rumble and also bringing a TNA title
to WWE television
It was an exciting moment, a lot of fans thought it would lead to many other opportunities
such as a WWE superstars appearing on TNA television with a WWE title, but that never
happened
It was even announced a few weeks ago that TNA did parter up with Endeavor’s streaming
business, Endeavor obviously being the owners of WWE
So that little action there re-sparked some of those collaboration rumors between WWE
and TNA
Some fans were even fully convinced that Triple H’s special announcement a few weeks ago
was confirming that partnership, but that wasn’t the case
But in a very hypothetical world, what if WWE and TNA did have a television partnership
in play?
How could they both benefit from it?
Well there’s one extremely great theory going around there that would be perfect and
it revolves around Naomi, A.KA.
Trinity, and Roman Reigns
Trinity just lost her TNA women’s championship at their most recent pay per view event, Mercedes
Monay and Bayley were even in the arena and backstage to support Trinity, but the match
just really seemed like her farewell to TNA and she’s expected back in WWE as soon as
the end of the month
But how interesting would it be if Trinity’s transition had a WWE and TNA collaboration
and partnership around it that carried over between both companies?
Similar to how Roman Reigns had Paul Heyman go over to NXT to talk with Ava Raine about
some potential future plans, what if they did the same thing but this time around with
Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman paying a visit to TNA to talk strictly with Trinity?
Roman Reigns would basically go over there to speak things over with Trinity and try
to convince her to pay a visit back to Smackdown herself and maybe try to slowly ease her into
The Bloodline
This idea also connects with the other theory and topic were recently talking about where
we said that Roman Reigns needs to go out there and find some more allies and more help
for The Bloodline in any way he can because the group is in such a weak state right now
We then discussed the idea of Roman Reigns and Heyman going after Ava for her to be their
reinforcement
But what if Roman Reigns was that desperate to add depth to the Bloodline that he really
does go to TNA television just to go give Trinity this proposal and give her time to
think about rejoining the family on Smackdown
And then maybe after a moment like that we could Trinity pop back up in WWE with a surprise
return at the Royal Rumble
So it definitely doesn’t seem to have the most realistic shot of going down like that,
but with all the recent rumors and buzz about a WWE and TNA collaboration being in the works,
it is fun to discuss how that sort of partnership could look like on WWE television like the
one we discussed today
