Well, it turns out I didn't even need Claudio to return after all. In fact, I would've won even without Claudio or Joe's Zero Hour contributions, so I guess I had a better PPV showing than I realized. Sadly I can't really enjoy it since I know I'm losing next week, and probably very decisively. Maybe I'm being overly defeatist again, but Reigns has left me high and dry, Shida lost the title again, and Darby is going to be busy trying not to die climbing Everest, so I'm not gonna have a lot of ways to come out on top over TBD's stacked roster. Still, this is the first time in 22 seasons that TBD and I have met in the finals despite both of us making playoffs every season, so that at least makes it feel an historic.
