Finally got to catch up on the show, good bubba Jmare hit all the key points, but I'm surprised how much Edge was able to bring with him. The Alter Bridge theme sounded like a re-recorded version, but how was Rated R Superstar not still trademarked? Folks may grumble about AEW signing him, but with WWE already primed to give Jade the megapush from the jump they needed to make a move in kind. Also interested in how heel Nick Wayne will work, but at least there's an obvious explanation for him turning since Darby was so quick to forgive AR Fox for murdering Nick in his dad's ring.

For some reason I can't watch live streams of a certain nature without constant buffering, so I'm going to have to watch this show after the fact.

God damn, looked like Max got his head squashed on that cannon ball in the corner.

"we gave you that shit for free!"

Claudio and Barnett doing Inoki proud

I would book them as a tag team on the main roster to make the tag titles meaningful again, then do a Megapowers Explode deal with them.

100% this. They got the Jeff Jarret in WCW treatment by being a top act in a promotion where the wheels were falling off, even though they weren't the problem.

I'm thinking Luchasaurus finally turns on Christian and that leads Darby to winning the match.

Having the hometown guy lose in the main event is such a WWE move (especially with memories of Sami losing in Montreal not that long ago), I just don't see AEW doing that.

I mean it was probably already obvious, but making it the main event is pretty much a large neon sign that Darby is winning the belt back in his hometown.

Becky going New Jack mode cracked me up

This Dar/Butch match is at New Japan levels of making the ref look like an incompetent doofus

Good to see Trick getting big wins, if they aren't going to keep him with Melo I didn't want to see him get Jannetty'd.

Baron/Bron was a fun opener, it's still amazing to me that Gable Steveson was so repellant to the NXT audience that it turned Corbin babyface.

Tiffy Time in the main event as nature intended, you love to see it

Also, what? Did I miss something?

I hope Kelani Jordan doesn't get derailed by Dana Brooke getting endeavored. They seemed to be building to something with those two and now Jordan got left hanging in the breeze.

Smackdown was great, and you love to see Main Event L...A.... KNIGHT, YEAH

Fightful also mentioned there's a ton of heat on Knox, since as folks mentioned here this isn't the first time he was in a situation where someone got hurt and he did jack shit about it.

I wasn't expecting MJF vs Switchblade, but I'm here for it

I love that Don Callis is apparently only recruiting handsome men to be in his Family

So I'm guessing Fenix winning the International title was a shoot, since Fightful said the plan for Mox was to have someone come out and challenge him

iirc Rey filed a copyright for "Principe Mysterio" for Dom to use, at the time people assumed it would be if he dons a mask at some point, but I wonder if he did it just in case he ever leaves WWE.

Love a good show ending crazy brawl, Raw was good stuff this week

I never thought I'd hear Michael Cole namedrop Bestia del Ring, but here we are
