Wrestling's obsession with this month's newest faction continues.

Only time will tell the true extent of Stokely Hathaway's business dealings with MJF, but one thing is clear: Stokely, Friedman, W. Morrissey, The Gunn Club, Lee Moriarty, Ethan Page etc will become a major threat on All Elite telly going forwards. The fact they're tied to MJF alone gives them cash in the bank.

Of course, Hathaway still has stuff going on with Jade Cargill and her 'Baddies'. The biz hasn't witnessed a manager working this hard since the days of Jimmy Hart, for crying out loud! The jury will be out on Pinnacle 2.0 for a while though.

Fans will need more than an impressive list of members to care about...whatever Tony Khan plans to call this unit. On the plus side, they're all-but-guaranteed to house a future World Champion. Oh yes, that success is truly inevitable. It's just a matter of time and patience.
