2. Those Boots Are Made For Scissoring...

...and that's just what they'll do at Wembley Stadium, presumably.

The Acclaimed's "in action" expected squash victory was cut short by the arrival of The House Of Black, who proceeded to deliver an almighty beatdown on Max Caster and Anthony Bowens to seemingly build up one last battle between the two sides for Trios gold.

The prior matches haven't really lived up to expectations, but it really could be third time lucky here. Unlike the last two meetings, there's an actual storyline attached now, and Billy Gunn potentially retiring before heroically returning for one last shot at glory is a pretty decent one. "Win or retire for real this time actually" has been posited as a potential stipulation for this last battle, which certainly feeds into speculation that this will go down at All In rather than All Out.

Malakai Black took Gunns symbolic boots as a trophy following the attack - the quest must surely now be on for Daddy Ass to go and get them back?
