I'd read them before the show. But the break up is eventually gonna happen with the Winter angle. But I honestly think the better story would be not to turn one of TBP, but for TBP to turn Winter face. Let them decide to help her be more normal and allow her to morph into someone similar to them. This would allow them to move Katie into her more natural Queen of England role and become a new face opponent for Madison.
In TNA everybody has two go through 2 turns between heel and face, including feuding with friends and suddenly making up again.
As far as the vignettes go, I think it's actually pretty funny (in a good way) given how many of us were speculating on the possibility of Sting. Make no mistake, those vignettes made it look like there were two people. 'Taker was inside, and somebody else was lurking outside, also wearing a trenchcoat. While it's true they made no inkling that it was Sting (in fact I concluded I thought it was Michaels), it's no more of an on camera tease than Scott Steiner showing up last month was somehow implying that Nash and Booker were in for a MEM reunion.
But that clip as "the most shocking surprise", no way. They should have just left it as a veiled jab at WWE without actually saying anything about it.
