Off The Script w/JDfromNY

John Cena’s WWE Classic is already facing backlash after its $800 championship belt sold out and fan voting was placed behind the Club WWE paywall. Jonathan Coachman and JDfromNY debate whether the entire concept is a massive money grab, why Cody Rhodes was selected as the first participant, and why WWE still has not explained what the winner actually receives.

They also break down Mike Santana’s main roster debut as Cruz Montana and his addition to 946, whether Jacob Fatu or Zilla Fatu should complete Roman Reigns’ Bloodline team for Survivor Series WarGames, and Sami Zayn’s intense WWE Crown Jewel confrontation with Roman Reigns.

Plus, WWE stacks NXT with John Cena, Cody Rhodes and CM Punk opposite AEW Blood & Guts, the company overloads December with two Raw shows, Disney World and a Marvel crossover, and Hollywood opportunities complicate WWE’s ability to build around Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre.

Finally, Coach and JD discuss the growing concerns surrounding WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, the event’s thin four-match card, its scaled-down production, and why they believe major stars such as Kevin Owens and CM Punk may have been removed from the trip.

Join @JDfromNY and @TheSolomonster LIVE for the biggest news, the biggest stories, and the HOTTEST takes on Tuesday Night Titans for Tuesday November 3rd, 2026. 

The John Cena Classic has finally been given a date, and a place. And, then WWE shilled to you brand new John Cena merchandise, a brand new World Title belt, and a voting process behind the Club WWE paywall. Did the John Cena Classic announcement live up to expectation, or was it more corporate slop from WWE and TKO?

Cruz Montana made an immediate impact on WWE Raw, making his Main Roster debut aligning with 946. What does Cruz Montana bring to the table, and what does him joining 946 do bring to WWE Raw?

Rumored of Bruce Prichard's exit from WWE is VERY exciting but we all may have to curb that excitement. With the news that Shawn Michaels may be taking over for Bruce Prichard on the Main Roster, it might not be exactly what it seems. Will there be a creative shakeup in WWE and in NXT like fans hope?

946 just even more nasty as tonight they added a 5th member in Cruz Montana heading into War Games, and Survivor Series against The Bloodline. 

Cruz Montana arrived on WWE Raw and took out Roman Reigns before seemingly aligning himself with 946 after the Main event between Solo Sikoa and Royce Keys. Also, John Cena was back to announce when, and where the John Cena Classic would be taking place but it ended up being a walking billboard ad for new WWE Shop merchandise, including the new John Cena Classic Championship.

Bruce Prichard is reportedly preparing to retire from his full-time WWE role after WrestleMania 43, with Shawn Michaels expected to replace him alongside Triple H on main roster creative. AJ Styles is also reportedly being positioned for a larger leadership role in NXT, potentially succeeding Michaels at the WWE Performance Center.

JDfromNY examines what this major WWE creative succession plan actually means. Is Bruce Prichard truly leaving, or merely transitioning into a consulting role? Will Shawn Michaels improve Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown, or will WWE remain controlled by the same creative system that has frustrated fans throughout the Triple H era?

The episode also explores AJ Styles’ recent work scouting and developing talent, whether he is being prepared to lead NXT, and how CM Punk and Bayley could eventually factor into the brand’s future. Could new leadership restore NXT’s identity, or will the Tuesday night show continue moving further away from what made NXT Black and Gold successful?

JD also examines Prichard’s legacy as one of Vince McMahon’s most trusted lieutenants, Michaels’ tenure running NXT, and why removing the final major piece of McMahon’s old creative regime may not produce the sweeping changes WWE fans expect. The names may be changing, but WWE’s biggest creative problems could run much deeper than one executive.

We don't need Halloween to understand that SmackDown is the scariest show on television. What an offensively bad television show in every sense of the word. 

It was Danhausen's "Very Nice, Very Evil"...episode of SmackDown, and he resurrected the Demon Finn Balor to battle Gunther. Chelsea Green vs Nikki Bella was horrendous for the WWE Women's Championship, so much that Jade Cargill had a better match with Tatum Paxley. And, Sami Zayn beats Trick Williams in a WWE Championship match.
