The PLE kicked off with the Women's WarGames match in spectacular fashion, starting out with Nia Jax and Bayley. It wasn't long before Naomi also joined the fray, making it a two versus one scenario. However, Nia still proved to be too much for them most of the time.
At one point, Nia Jax was thrown into the bottom turnbuckle, and Naomi put a toilet seat around her neck. Taking inspiration from Rikishi, she executed a stinkface and humiliated Nia. What drew more attention, however, was Corey Graves' cheeky comment about the spot. He said:

In the ensuing moments, the other participants in the match entered the ring to make for a truly chaotic WarGames match. Each new wrestler in the ring meant a new piece of equipment, with Liv Morgan coming in and holding a baseball bat as well. In the end, however, Ripley was able to pin Liv Morgan and take the win.

Although Shubhajit admires numerous pro wrestlers, his current favorite is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre. He is fond of The Scottish Warrior’s character work and innovative quips.
If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.
