➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: I hope to see a progression in Cora’s character from her TNA run. Hopefully she comes out of it more humble and serious. That would make her side quest into TNA more of a success. Hopefully this isn’t her real attitude because some of the best have come from TNA, and she can really learn something.

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2 👍
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: I was hoping to see the Rascalz get more involved and actually try to stop the interference from Wes Lee’s boys. I could see this being a little 6-man feud to continue Wes Lee and Zachary Wentz’ epic feud.
