Not a lot announced yet. Icarus is defending the Grand Championship against Chuck Taylor. So a successful defense there.
I have to say Season 14 was a pretty big disappointment. The shows were just missing something.
I'm also hoping Icarus drops the belt in the spring. He's just a bore as champion. I'd rather see Jacobs get the belt. I'm worried this reign is going to drag out for most of the year.
I'm excited to see Missile Assault Ant continue to develop. That guy has some serious potential.

The Colony vs. Jakob Hammermeier, Pinkie and Soldier Ant just announced. That should be good.

Jakob is a lot of fun, I'm looking forward to seeing where that goes. They cameoed Daizee Haze recently, so nice nod to the past. I agree with Icarus, he's just a boring boring face.

I think someone who doesn't talk like Fire Ant would be a better champion.

And he killed Ducalion and saved Chikara so really he isn't needed anymore. Chucky T for Grand Champion!

Ultramantis Black vs. Juan Francisco de Coronado added. This won't be a classic but it's a fresh match up and could be fun.

Never figured they'd push de Coronado as much as they have, but he's a fun character. UMB should hopefully get some direction with the break up of the Spectral Envoy.

UMB should probably be the #3 face behind Icarus and Kingston at this point. That seems really muddy right now though.

Things are definitely a jumble right now. Kingston went rudo but never really changed then became technico almost by default. Icarus is supposed to be the top technico but just doesn't have it, and the roster needs sorting badly.

I agree. They really didn't seem to know what to do with anyone that wasn't the Wrecking Crew or the Throwbacks. It felt like UMB was lost in pointless multi-mans all year.
I also hate the new Worker Ant. He has single handedly ruined the Colony for him. He's just a shitty worker.

I haven't seen him yet, but I've heard mostly bad things. Probably rushed in took quick. Clearly they have no idea what to do with the Ants if they're not the Colony but I think it may be time to break them up.

I cringe when I hear that music or see him walking out with Silver of Fire. They put him in there with I think the Snow Ant on a show and it was an awful match.

Eddie Kingston vs Kevin Condron added. That should be interesting.

I'm thinking that will be a squash match.

If so, it would be a sadly fitting ending to something that they tried to make a big storyline only for it to really go nowhere.
