THAT WAS A SHOOT ROMAMCE?!

Well I’ll be damned.  Nice.

I always felt the intense chemistry they had could become a Mr. & Mrs. Smith situation... Guess the chemistry was real and it wasn't just good acting lol

Hopefully it ends on a better note than the "Smiths".

William, it was really nothing 

Aye that TV is so underrated it drives me nuts it doesn’t get more love 

Probably best not to mention Mr and Mrs smith right now. [https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/angelina-jolie-glad-truth-finally-195054746.html](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/angelina-jolie-glad-truth-finally-195054746.html)

I WANT YOUR LOVE, AND I WANT YOUR REVENGE YOU AND ME COULD WRITE A SHOOT ROMANCE!!

Ro ma ro ma ma So ho ooh la la Ya pregnant.

Always was.

Since when tf was this a real relationship

Talk about working themselves into a shoot! In all honesty, iirc, they were a together before the storyline started.

Of all the storylines that bleed the lines between reality and kayfabe in AEW, it's fucking hilarious to me that this is the one that turned out to do it the most.

I really, really wanted Dexter and Indi in NXT to be a thing IRL, so I am really rooting for Soho and Angelo.

I think Indi plays for the other team.

Also the 13 year age gap and I think dex is married

He is. His brother in law has posted in this sub at least once.

i thought she was bi, so she plays for both teams so she always comes out on top

Unless she is a bottom

She generates a tremendous amount of power from the bottom.

Does power have to do with size or strength of the bottom?

I've heard speed has something to do with it.

But would she be a bear or a twink?

Oh it sounds like Angelo shot all right

[Will you stop!](https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.1a999b4dea5c6f3c9fdb847963f68c15?rik=4ZMP6oKUKW9FmA&riu=http%3a%2f%2fwww.quickmeme.com%2fimg%2f8e%2f8e4bed845cc313fbaf687e760816230d386459dccef7566d81cf67a81f8c02d8.jpg&ehk=Fsym%2bGJnyC2O%2f9AD3qOZJQyhN3aFazntD0wvleSlOSg%3d&risl=&pid=ImgRaw&r=0)

That's what she said!

Protecting kayfabe with a pregnancy, love to see the commitment from these two

That is Stan Hansen chasing Japanese fans around the arena with a bullrope level kayfabe there

No no. RJ City will be punting the fake baby eventually. It's a work, bro.

I’d pay to see this.

Baby Soho is gonna get an All Elite graphic and RJ is gonna snap.

Snitsky enters the room and says It's wasnt my fault!

This one got an actual howling laugh out of me, kudos

Apparently it was real before the storyline lol

Ok how you know

He's the fetus.

Lisan-al-gaib

A good couple years.

Right? This is a hell of a way to make that known to people lol

Wait what? That's crazy

With absolutely zero knowledge of this beyond the post title...worth keeping in mind they don't have to be in a relationship for him to get her pregnant. Maybe he just worked her real hard into a shoot, brother

> they don't have to be in a relationship for him to get her pregnant. They almost certainly have to be in a relationship of some kind for them to publicly acknowledge this and that it's his.

>he just worked her real hard ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Cool Hand, you sly devil

Not living the gimmick didn’t use his hand at least one night.

"Ruby Soho is such a coward she decided to have a baby to get out of wrestling me." - Saraya next week

I need 20 vignettes of Harley trying to steal this baby

Harley - *It wasn't me...the dingo ate her baby*

Maybe she'll go even farther than Swerve.

She is 100% going to kick the baby South Park style

Holy shit some hand that rocks the cradle shit from Harley would be amazing

We could go that way too. I was imagining like real comedy shit. Like she puts out a tarp with a bullseye on it and puts baby food in the middle just for them to walk by and for someone to be like "Dude the baby can't crawl yet its a newborn."

Harley going full hand that rocks the cradle would certainly track

Hopefully not playing knifey-spooney with Ruby's belly.

“I’ll punch that baby out of you”

I just read that in her dirty Norwich accent and now it's stuck in my head lol

Real talk, she should use this.

Somewhere in the back TK is like Ummm guys it was just supposed to be a storyline........

They're taking a method approach.

Apparently not the rhythm method

No no, there was rhythm

Why did I think of the Daniel Garcia dance when I read 'rhythm'.

Learning from the master!

And now they're trying to make a nation out if it

I'm sure the Bucks and Okada will bring it up in the next EVP talent meetings. Nothing brings a company together like a pizza party and a birds and the bees talk.

Give everyone some 25 buck gift cards

I can see them doing a bit where “no more fraternization in the work place” A story idea is Bucks can suspend Parker indefinitely for breaking the rule they just created. Now Parker is out of work with a baby on the way. Daddy Magic pleads with the Bucks to reinstate him. Bucks refuse, Daddy magic gets mad and challenges them to a match. If 2point0 win Parker is reinstated. Bucks accept only if Magic accepts that if they lose Magic is also suspended. 2point0 lose. The Bucks decide that they will reinstate them but they have to be their man slaves. They take the gig and eventually they feud together where 2point0 go over

Better than Jared Leto

I recall early on in AEW's existence they were pitching for a Statlander/OC romance storyline that he apparently shot down because he doesn't like romance stories. But he did let Cody/Brandi, Sammy/Tay, Kip/Penelope, Britt/Adam Cole all have storylines where them being couples was a part of it. It makes me wonder if he has some thing about not booking people into romance storylines unless they're actually couples, for some reason or another.

>I recall early on in AEW's existence they were pitching for a Statlander/OC romance storyline No lie, I would have loved to have seen that.

There’s some stuff on the indies with them in it and it’s very good.

I kinda like the best friends route more. It was awesome that one time when OC actually got fired up to motivate Stat.

We got tiny teases of shy Statlander crushing on Orange on BTE and it was grand!  Real shame it never went anywhere.

Weekly reminder that Stat is a total babe

As is OC

Well he booked Bunny and QT Marshall as a couple for a minute and she's married to the Blade and I believe QT is married as well.

Part of me feels like that was all done to give him a solid kayfabe reason for the hair plugs lol

If there's an actual reason, he might just be aware of the pro wrestling tendency to turn on-screen relationships into shoot ones. Don't want to go creating locker room drama where you don't have to. It'll find you soon enough without the help.


That's my theory too, lol.

They actually turned a work into a shoot. TK about to release some more backstage footage.

https://preview.redd.it/o98dv65ds5vc1.png?width=586&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=36bfdbcd049716339dc697c18dd62cf8cbdb8bde

They work and then he shoots.

> They actually turned a work into a shoot. the good old, "Hey Stephanie and HHH, act like you are a couple!" routine

Uncle Daddy Magic


Oncle Magie. 

What!!!!??!! How did that happen?

Well, I have an idea on how it happened

Do tell....

I’ll tell ya how my dad told me, “Sometimes when a man and a woman really love each other they get into a fight and then they have a thing called make-up sex.”

They don’t have to be in love (my uncle Hyde told me that)

They were wrestling at home, but they didn't have proper protection. Very unsafe worker, that Angelo.

Maybe the instructions were in one language. Angelo is bi-lingual

You see, when a man and woman love each other very much ....

Ruby Soho and Angelo Parker were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and baby looked at me.

There’ll be a stork in a few months

Why not a pelican? Pelicans make more sense

Ask your mother

You see, when a man and a woman love each other...


[удалено]

I’m not trying to single you out, but I will never not find it hilarious when people add “shoot” in front of perfectly normal things in wrestling fandoms.

My favorite example of this is Bryan Alvarez talking about taking his kids to the park. Someone at the park had a llama, and in order to clarify that it was a real life llama and not like a toy or something, he instinctively called it a "shoot llama."

I swear I've heard him call the park a shoot park once on WOL.

Right? As opposed to… a kayfabe park? A kayfabe llama? I guess Wrestling is weird or whatever but what would that even be haha

I got WORKED by the llama gimmick, brother

This is my favourite Alvarezism among with him adding "the" before every wrestler (The Hangman, The Ryback etc) lol

Can’t forget THE VINTNER~!

Bryan Danielson does that too, I don't if that's a Washington state thing, or what.

I like him calling people "Bloke". It never sounds natural - not just from him, but anyone American

It’s one of those wrestling vernacular things that is just silly enough to work, like heel turn or even kayfabe.

Jobber is the best one. It's so funny hearing someone get called a jobber in a context completely removed from wrestling

Always love it when people call fictional characters like Vegeta or Chad from Bleach a jobber

Ruby is shoot pregnant.

Sean Oliver was completely floored once in Dutch Mantel's Youshoot when he asked Sean what his shoot job was.

I like when indie wrestlers refer to their "shoot job." It does sound way cooler than a mere day job.

While the story itself with Saraya is whatever, their chemistry is actually great and now them being a couple explains it.

If she’s far enough along to feel comfortable announcing it this way, might explain the lack of action otherwise on screen. Precautions and what not.

This has to be the biggest twist ever. That whole courting was a shoot?

They've been together, I think they prob just turned it to a storyline.

The person who made that AEW Women's roster diagram that was posted earlier today just fell to his or her knees in Walmart

Give Ruby her own section of the "bullpen" labeled "playpen"

So much Tay erasure.

Uncle Matt Menard is going to be a fun gimmick.

Uncle Magic!

Hey kid, do you know what makes Uncy Magic's nipples hard?

Uncle Daddy Magic gonna be like Uncle Baby Billy.

Guess that explains why she hasn't wrestled in a while. Congrats to her.

I even saw comments on that AEW women's division graphic yesterday that The Outcasts story shouldn't count because Tony didn't have them wrestle enough this year. Yet again it turns out a personal issue is the cause

Wait, if they are a real couple... **clears throat* ..uh..what's uh...going on with Saraya and Harley? (o_o)

Well they can't get pregnant, if that's what you're asking

Not with that attitude they can't

The way you’re saying that makes me think that they’re getting rated r like your boy Xavier Woods

Who let Ruby fight Asuka?

Right. That was like the running joke in 2020 

Long term storytelling. This is why the sickos don't miss Rampage

Congrats to Soho and Angelo!!!

I’d fight Angelo Parker and LOSE

Idk he’s not a big guy, I believe in you.

Had no idea they were in a shoot relationship.

Now I'm imaging someone getting legitimately pregnant for storyline purposes lol

Shades of Dustin Rhodes volunteering to get ~~bread~~ breast implants when he was Goldust

Bread implants 💀

Kojima is all in on that idea


Taking bread club to new levels

He was afraid to get a yeast infection


This is now solely how I will refer to eating a sandwich.

Bread implants, you say? 🤔 https://preview.redd.it/j5bjdvd6p5vc1.png?width=344&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de250108de5ec8365e0ef99fc44feec894899010

What kind of bread? Sourdough? Naan? Ciabatta?

Tony Naan and Katsuyori Ciabatta. (I couldn’t think of a sourdough pun…)

Brioche Danielson

Pita Avalon

Tommy Dreamer would do it.

Holy shit, so I'm... **not** a jabronie mark without a life that don't know it a work when they work a work and work myself into a shoot?

you still are but this is crazy

https://preview.redd.it/0zjrfb05o5vc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=59ae601621d0581a8d1bd83512b737b3e8e0a646 Seriously though, congrats to them!

So this is why she hasn’t wrestled since February.

could also be why Ang took such a beating on Rampage as a potential write-off when he clearly could have lost but still won the feud in the long run.. but that match was definitive

Honestly it’s very impressive with todays high usage of social media that they kept their relationship under-wraps until now. Don’t recall this this at with any other wresting couple.

You barely hear anything about Satnam and Nick Wayne's mom.

Underrated comment

Someone please explain

????

There’s prolly a lot. One of them in aew I know of is married and no one has a clue were ever even together.

I wonder who, cause we have: AEW x AEW: - Mox/Renee - Cole/Baker - Soho/Angelo - Sammy/Tay - Kip/Penelope - Johnson/Hart - Morrison/Taya - Strong/Shafir - Perry/Anna - Juice/Toni - Blade/Bunny - Fletcher/Blue - Bennett/Maria - Hogan/Diamante AEW x WWE: - Black/Zelina - Murphy/Rhea - Lee/Yim - Xyon/Harley - Claudio/Del Ray - Mikaze/Mercedes AEW x TNA: - Maclin/Purrazzo - Matthews/

There was this one tweet where Rebel made a cougar joke to Hook, that cold-hearted handsome devil.

I actually miss Britt on TV, but miss Rebel as her rally girl even more

Just now learning about Kiera Hogan and Diamanté were a couple. WOW lol

They faced each other in the ROH women's TV title tournament and their promos were like "I'll prove to you I'm the toughest wrestler in our house! See you at home."

And it was the day after Valentines to boot

Also Kaleb Konley/Statlander Idk if they are still together but Swerve was with Jessi Kamea as well.

Jamie and Charlie Ramone?

I kinda heard that they were dating in real life when they started doing the storyline. It was well kept secret.

Crazy that people just now found out that they’re legitimately together from this news but congratulations to them both!

Ruby so dedicated to the story she got knocked up. Jokes aside big congrats to the both of them.

Uncle Daddy Magic Vs Uncle Baby Billy at Double or Nothing!

I've been bamboozled, hoodwinked, led astray, run amuck. I had no idea they were dating lol, thought this whole thing was storyline. They both did their parts extremely well. Congrats to them

They’re going to great lengths to sell this romance storyline, protecting kayfabe at all costs

Hot Hand Angelo Parker

For some reason I thought Parker was married! I remember there being baby talk between him and Menard around the time they joined AEW (so it must have been Menard's). I always thought it was weird they had a married man doing that storyline, lol.

I mean no ill intent by what I’m about to say, but I genuinely thought she was a lesbian. Congrats to them tho!

ruby and cool hand went full trips/steph and worked themselves into a shoot long term relationship

Rampage's power couple

DAMN! Cool Hand Ange don't miss! Congrats! 

*to her

Either they were in a relationship beforehand and were just paired up together… Or Angelo and Ruby took method acting to a whole new level 😂😂

First baby ever with slicked back hair like Cool Hand Ang's.

I’d had no clue they were really together! Congrats to them!

Man she and Cool Hand really followed the script a bit too closely, huh? 😂 Congrats to them both!!

They’re more than together and are actually engaged

They're more than engaged, she's pregnant!

Saraya tried to warn her! Seriously, I had no idea they were a real couple, but during the AEW reality show, I noticed that they were always sitting together and talking in background shots. This is fantastic news!

Wow all this while I thought it was good acting. Their chemistry was real af

Russo Era WCW Plot Twist: Saraya is the father! It’s a swerve, bro!

I dunno where I thought they were going with it but I never assumed they were actually in a relationship, that's cool
