Did we see the formation of the new Mega Powers...or something kind of, sort of, like that? We also discuss the announcement of the return of The Elimination Chamber at the end of the month and we offer our ideas on why the Intercontinental Championship should be decided in that format...and we recorded this a couple of hours before WWE announced they were actually going in that direction proving, yet again, just how smart we really are. Or something like that. We also discuss a possible swerve for the main event at Payback in the Creative Corner. All that and more fo
