I actually remember there being some discussion about it at the time, but it didn't seem to gain much traction. People were more interested in the story of if she was or wasn't an escort at some point was true. Besides, it would have never gotten much traction since it would go against so many ingrained beliefs. First you have the people who believe WWE can do no wrong, then the people who feel the military can do no wrong, followed by people who believe a woman that would make such a claim is lying/golddigging/slutty/whatever. It was the perfect storm of "people won't want to talk about this".

The graphics were a different color too, they seem to be doing a different thing for hour three.

It almost comes off as some sort of meta rib to put the "can show up anywhere to cash in" gimmick on the guy known for never showing up anywhere.

Paul E out here looking like he's wearing Vince's hand-me-down suits now.

You're probably right, but I could see Finn getting bounced off the ladder in future MITB hype videos to put over the brutality of the match.

Feel the excitement growing, brothers!

Tony's a natural heel being square-pegged into not only being a babyface, but the top one of the show and it just doesn't fit. Even being the champ seems wrong since his whole deal leading up to it was being the guy with ridiculous abs and now he wears a belt that covers them.

...or if there becomes a second major national promotion to offer an alternative, so that the indy folks only offer won't be to sit in the McMahon family china closet like the plate set your mom wouldn't ever let anyone use.

Yeah, delaying needed surgery on someone his age due to complications is never a good sign. It's basically doctor speak for "we're afraid he's going to die if we operate right now".

I was shocked that Cole actually mentioned Jeddah. That's the first mention I can recall of an actual geographic location since all the shit went down.

It was obvious he was coming back since it was clear he was done with UFC. It's fine if they use him as a monster for Seth to overcome, but if they go back to Brock as perma-champ then it makes everything they've done redundant.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone bounce as high off a ladder as Balor did.

Also I totally thought Elias was wearing Bob...er ROBERT Roode's robe there.

Yeah it's not really going to be that impressive when she ends up with a Jerry Lawler level number of championship reigns when she loses on her first defense every time.

They're mentioning the refs screwing up too much for it not to be going somewhere at this point.

Bayley cash in on Becky would be epic right now.

I hope they are going to do some kind of angle with the refs, otherwise there's been some fuckups tonight.

It's textbook WWE when you think they created the escape the cage rules so Bruno could lose without getting pinned (and build feuds), yet they are still doing it 40+ years later.

So I guess the show long story will be Who Killed Sami.

WWE Saudi Arabia Championship getting announced I suppose.

Graves out here dropping truth bombs like "why are we even having this match?"

lol @ Sonya playing James Ellsworth in this match.

This was quite the gem from the daily WO update:

The drop off from New Japan to the 2nd or 3rd biggest promotion in Japan has been a pretty big chasm for a long time. I suppose the argument can be made the gap has been closing, but it's still more along the lines of "tallest little person" than anything else.
