It is, but I think this recent break allows The Elite aka The Golden Elite or whatever they go by (Kenny, Bucks, Ibushi side) to be full on faces now while the G.O.D. Division can stay and reestablish their BC cred as true heels.
I don’t know how Cody fits in truly, he should probably lead his own faction now. Or how Jericho’s ALPHA CLUB plays into this but through it all, the talent is incredible and matches between them is worth the inter-factional turmoil and confusion mess.
If they could just not continue to sell so many tee shirts then this breakup would be much smoother!
And as for J.R. - I hope he’s ok.
If it is a work, then they nailed it and now a Jay vs Josh feud could make for some nice Tokyo Dome booking.
