And if there\u2019s one thing I\u2019ve learned about writing something like this once a week for a little while now, it\u2019s that \u2026 well, I know nothing. Or, at least that\u2019s how writing this often makes me feel. Because between the time it takes for me to realize what I want to write, write it, and then see it published, plans change, pal. Or, something like that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The point is, I have no sources, I don\u2019t spend time in locker rooms and at the end of the day, I\u2019m just a fan who draws my own conclusions or makes my own predictions just like everyone else. Granted, I\u2019m wrong 60 to 80 percent of the time, but it\u2019s not like I don\u2019t come by it honestly. Such is why listening to the old guard podcasts can become grating at times. I get it, Eric Bischoff. I wasn\u2019t in the room to see the decisions made so how could I or any other member of the wrestling writing world know for sure what happened? I can\u2019t. But I never claimed I could, either.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s all to say \u2026 hey, I have predictions! And it\u2019s all to say, take those predictions with a grain of salt, of course. Nobody can really tell the future, anyway, and I don\u2019t know any professional wrestling personality on any personal level whatsoever so it\u2019s not like I can offer anything definitive. What I can do, though, is speculate about five things that I believe are going to happen within the next 12 months now that the calendar has flipped from 2022 to 2023.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agree? Disagree? It\u2019s all in good fun. Yet as we wipe the slate clean heading into this arbitrary set of days that grow into months that complete a year, why not take stock of what\u2019s around us and throw a few darts at the board to see what sticks by the time 2024 rolls around? Besides, that\u2019s half the fun, is it not?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So behold five bold predictions for the year 2023. Not nearly as bold as Nitro Habanero Takis, but at least as bold as Seth Rollins\u2019 latest outfit. And that\u2019s got to count for something \u2026 right?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>1.<\/strong> <strong>CM Punk will find himself on screen as part of the wrestling business in 2023<\/strong>. This one is tricky because if I say he will \u201ccompete\u201d or \u201creturn to the wrestling ring,\u201d I might get the, \u201cthat injury will keep him out until \u2026\u201d argument and that\u2019s not really the point here. Instead, my point is that with all the chatter surrounding Punk\u2019s future \u2013 and with Punk admirably committing to a vow of silence as others take passive-aggressive (or aggressive-aggressive) shots at the guy \u2013 it\u2019s hard to believe that the smoke doesn\u2019t mean there\u2019s fire.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I don\u2019t know how it looks. I don\u2019t know if it will be in AEW. And I don\u2019t know what he does when he does it, but what I do know is Phil Brooks is smart enough to know that after taking so long away from the pro wrestling business and flirting non-stop with it for at least his final year away from all the hoopla \u2026 well, I\u2019m sorry to report that you don\u2019t get two First Dances. And yes, that includes if he somehow winds up in WWE. The fans might love it and he might get a hero\u2019s welcome to some degree, but he\u2019s not getting the electricity and the emotion that so many felt the day he first appeared on that episode of AEW Rampage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, he un-retired, became a champion, got hurt a couple times, mouthed off, reportedly got physical with his co-workers, and shut up for four months (and counting). As I said at the beginning, I don\u2019t know much, but that guy is as much a romantic as anyone whoever laced up a pair of boots and no way did he come back to write an ending as messy as the one currently staring him in the face. So, something\u2019s gotta give. And if half of FTR is going to start a podcast only to come right out of the gate with an entire episode dedicated to him seemingly as a de facto response to all that\u2019s been said about the Best In The World over the past few months, it\u2019s awfully hard to believe these things are accidents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s still a lot of money to be made in CM Punk\u2019s wrestling life. He knows that better than anyone else. And you know what they say about the wrestling bug: Once you get bit \u2026 OK, maybe they don\u2019t really say anything about the wrestling bug. But you get it. Phil Brooks isn\u2019t going out like that.<\/p><div id=\"prowr-3963786655\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2. Roman Reigns will hold no titles by the time 2023 ends<\/strong>. This seems inevitable, but hey, I need to not whiff on all my predictions. If the rumors are to be believed, there is already a working thought that Reigns might not be a double champion by the time WrestleMania rolls around and if he\u2019s poised to drop whatever else he\u2019s holding in Los Angeles in April, it\u2019s not like he\u2019s going to work the summer from underneath, chasing a belt (or those belts) after holding onto them so tightly for so long.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re Roman, the move is to go away. He\u2019s already cut back his schedule enough and there are at least a million and one reasons why he might decide to put the wrestling thing down for a while. Hollywood. Family. Health. Those are three easy ones; you gotta know there are so many more. Plus, even if Reigns bails, he\u2019s set up The Bloodline in a way that ensures the stable won\u2019t dissolve immediately. Maybe Jimmy or Jey turns on him and costs him a belt all the while declaring one of them the true leader(s) of The Bloodline. Maybe it\u2019s Heyman. Shoot, Solo Sikoa has done a mighty fine job being the silent enforcer since getting the call from NXT; perhaps he factors into it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Either way, it feels like we\u2019re winding down the Dominant Roman Reigns era in WWE and that\u2019s OK. The run has been an all-timer and it also did the impossible as it made the fans actually feel something for the guy after months (if not years) of it appearing as though there was no way he was ever going resonate with the WWE fan base. It\u2019s been a masterclass in the best of almost everything pro wrestling offers and it was the only thing worth paying attention to on WWE TV for an awfully long time. The guy did his job. He deserves a break.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>3. New Japan Strong will become New Japan Honor Club or Honor Club will become ROH Strong or \u2026 <\/strong>. Yeah, I don\u2019t know how it\u2019s going to look, but as quickly as Tony Khan\u2019s non-announcement announcement that Honor Club is back (baby!) came and went, so did the notion that New Japan was\/is going to be involved somehow. That said, it seems like a reasonable conclusion to draw that New Japan\u2019s U.S. arm, which is the weekly Strong program, somehow morphs into something that people can find on a Ring Of Honor streaming platform.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I say that, why? Well, for starters, the overlap of the rosters (save for a few of the big ROH names we see regularly on AEW TV) would make the marriage natural. Anyone who has watched New Japan Strong over the last year or so can attest that the pre-show for the latest ROH pay-per-view felt like a bulked-up episode of Strong in one way or another. You saw Jeff Cobb. You saw Mascara Dorada. You saw Eli Isom. You saw The Kingdom. Shoot, by the time the main card came around, and you got to the Pure Title match between Daniel Garcia and Wheeler Yuta, it was like a time machine shot us all the way back to \u2026 2021 \u2026 or something like that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyway, leaning into the working relationship between the two companies feels like the most productive way to go for both sides. Ring Of Honor didn\u2019t get its splashy TV deal and New Japan Strong can\u2019t seem to escape the New Japan World platform for first-run showings, so why not figure out a way to give both ROH and NJPW programming a bigger reach if they just have crossover distribution? If nothing else, it would at least be all Ian Riccaboni all the time, considering how he\u2019s become the de facto voice for Strong over the last several months after having the same role in ROH for even longer, and that\u2019s always a good thing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>4. 2023 will be a transitional year for women\u2019s wrestling across all promotions<\/strong>. Is it me, or does it feel like the entirety of women\u2019s wrestling seems to be on the verge of something? WWE is in a weird spot as it has what feels like it\u2019s going to be its full roster going forward healthy, but outside of maybe Rhea Ripley, things are growing stale. Charlotte\u2019s Smackdown return and subsequent title win on Friday should have left a bigger memory. Becky Lynch, arguably the biggest name on the female roster, seems caught in a purgatory now that she\u2019s a babyface with no title. Bayley\u2019s return didn\u2019t shake the universe. And though we\u2019re not supposed to say it out loud \u2026 maybe Bianca could benefit from a heel turn?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AEW, meanwhile, has Saraya, which wasn\u2019t not akin to CM Punk returning to the pro wrestling world, considering how impossible it once felt that we\u2019d ever see her back in the ring &#8211; but now that she\u2019s back, we don\u2019t see her as much as I thought we would. Jade Cargill has crazy star-wattage, but it\u2019d serve everyone involved better if she had a legitimate challenger than it does guessing which Baddie she\u2019s going to kick to the curb in a few weeks. What\u2019s up with Thunder Rosa again? And if Sasha Banks truly is going to show up in a couple weeks on Dynamite, let\u2019s hope she\u2019s not on Dark by March.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Combine all that with how much popularity Stardom has seemed to gain over the last couple years \u2013 including their working relationship with New Japan \u2013 and you have a whole bunch of \u201cThis could \u2026\u201d or \u201cWhat if \u2026\u201d scenarios that promise to launch women\u2019s wrestling into a higher-than-it\u2019s-been stratosphere sometime soon. Does \u201csoon\u201d mean \u201c2023?\u201d That, I don\u2019t know, if only because of how many plates seem to be spinning at once. But something tells me that by the time 2024 comes around, there are going to be more intriguing headlines coming from the female world of pro wrestling than any other world it showcases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>5. Vince McMahon goes into the WWE Hall Of Fame<\/strong>. Just imagine. The Rock returns to the ring and the most polarizing figure in the history of the business is celebrated on the business\u2019s biggest stage less than a year after being kind of\/sort of forced out of the company he built into a billion-dollar powerhouse. Don\u2019t tell me WWE doesn\u2019t know how to make headlines. Imagine how much they\u2019ll dominate conversation across all boards if those things come true, come April.<\/p><div id=\"prowr-402103319\" class=\"prowr-content-5 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_3 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But I think it\u2019s possible. Actually, at this point, I\u2019m beginning to think McMahon going into the HOF might even be more likely than The Rock standing up to the Head of the Table in the squared circle. Vince is 77 and will be 78 in August. This year\u2019s event is set for the splashiest stadium in North America while next year\u2019s has the potential to be snowed out in Philadelphia, and it\u2019s not like that guy wants anything other than the splashiest, grandest stage on which to be celebrated. That\u2019s like saying you could be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at Radio City Music Hall or instead have to settle for \u2026 Cleveland.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It would be tone deaf. It would spark debate. It would make more people angry than it would make more people celebratory. But WWE isn\u2019t particularly known for picking up on social cues and there aren\u2019t a lot of years left during which McMahon could get up in front of an audience and appear to be Vince McMahon again. So, if they don\u2019t do it this year, the more interesting question becomes a matter of when it happens (because no, I don\u2019t believe \u201cif\u201d is a possibility).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps most intriguing? Does The Rock say he won\u2019t show if McMahon is honored that weekend, if only because of the optics? And if that\u2019s the case, which way does WWE go? The man who built the house or the guy who turned it into a modern-day mansion? Oh, 2023, how we await your answers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-605260353\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Colin McGuire, ProWrestling.net Staffer&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2747,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3738,50,27],"tags":[2486,321,63,54,56,101],"class_list":["post-123099","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colin-mcguire","category-mustreadarticles","category-viewpoints","tag-aew","tag-cm-punk","tag-roh","tag-roman-reigns","tag-vince-mcmahon","tag-wwe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
