Other notes

- Starboy Charlie spoke to The Spotlight on Fightful. You can see notes below:

- Wears overalls in real life and decided to wear them in wrestling to incorporate mofe of his personality.
- Says he’s in a better place mentally and physically after his injury. The timing of the injury was tough because things were building for him. Didn’t mind returning in a scramble match off the injury, thought it was a great way to get back into things.
- Wrestling is his priority over school. Already graduated high school and is doing college for fun.
- Wants to take graphic design in college to help design his own merchandise.
- Was surreal to wrestle Matt Cardona. Cardona actually said something nice to him. “That’s a win for me.”
- Wants to wrestle on the GCW/DDT show during the College. Is taking Japanese in college.
- Would break couches in his house doing Jeff Hardy moves as a kid. “I think my parents put me in wrestling just so I didn’t break anymore couches.”
- Says things started to click for him against Blake Christian after the pandemic.
- Veterans have told him to “soak in the moment.”

Extras as security guards? Big brawl then and I love it

So, again, I don't regularly watch, so can someone explain why Sheamus and Drew are facing each other tonight? Did they have a spat and The Brawling Brutes are in danger of brawling with each other?

Drew came out onto the ramp during a six man match with Imperium, a week later he cut a promo challenging GUNTHER, which Sheamus took massive issue with since Drew knew Sheamus wants the intercontinental title, there was a five way with Woods, Kross, and LA Knight last week, which ended in a double pinfall with the two both winning, Gunther demanded Pearce make a match for tonight between them since he was promised one challenger for Mania. Both want the belt and want the other to get the hell out of their way.
