Not to mention, if 148 had come to Waterloo this past year and 1114's canburglars were better, then the two probably would have paired up.

I'm sure 2056 is up to the challenge and excited to fight for another regional win this year at Waterloo.

Additionally, 2056 lost 2/3rds of their non IRI off seasons. While there's a huge difference between on season and off season, they're human and have the ability to lose just like everyone else.
