Note here: I'm watching the show late with help from the interwebs.
Wait... this is the push for the Jason Jordan isn't it? Once he said "I had a son..." this is where I saw this going.
I get they've been super hot on this guy since way back in NXT (split off from Tye Dillinger to supposedly get a singles push that didn't really happen, then got teamed with Gable), but really? Kurt Angle's illegitimate kid? This doesn't seem like it's going to work out for him unless it ends up being a long con swerve that they can get angle miles out of for a heel turn somewhere.
Also, WWE goes too much back & forth with kayfabe family members. People are brothers but then not brothers then brothers again until it's stupid, daughters use their father's name now, but not next week (plural; I don't just mean Charlotte, but also Nattie and Tamina), and I wonder how long this will last until the mandate comes down from Vince to stop pretending Jason is Angle's love child.
We'll see how it goes, but I'm honestly less than enthused. Not necessarily because Jason was underwhelmingly anticlimactic, but- well, that too- but also seems to be another "We want you to like *this* guy specifically and immediately" tactic they've foisted onto Roman Reigns and Baron Corbin.
At least it wasn't Dixie Carter. Or Hornswoggle. Or Vickie Guerrero.
Side note: guess Angle likes the brown sugar, even in pretend storylines.
