Not saying Cass is great, but his WWE singles career was basically working with Enzo. We don't exactly have enough evidence to put him in Sheamus territory yet.

Also I'm sure WWE will run it into the ground because that's what they do, but Truth and Tye as comedy pairing sounds like it could have potential.

Raw getting absolutely pantsed in the draft is not a thing I was expecting to happen. There must be something related to their TV contract promising to make SD must-watch TV (like they did when it moved to USA and wanted to give big ratings for the debut there) to warrant taking a big steamy dump on their flagship like that.

Looks like Harper and Rowan were able to draft their first names back too.

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus...... that's like some shit they dig up on an episode of Criminal Minds when they are trying to pinpoint the reason someone became a serial killer.

Of the AfterMania shows Angle won on that, he Got the Former NXT Womens Champ and Bobby Lashley. Ruby Riottt is a win to tonight Man, they need to change her music. They come in looking all badass and punk out Sasha and Bayley, and all you hear is DEEDLE DEEDLE DEEDLE DEEDLE as they stand tall.

So I guess Miz wins the ladder match in Saudi Arabia to bring the IC title to Smackdown.

Maybe Kurt is secretly planning an Impact invasion of Raw.

If only Nattie knew someone who could teach her how to be the partner of someone who is a much bigger star.

Well, WWE finally got fans to cheer for a Samoan named Joe, just not the one they were hoping for.

For some reason Liv was rocking the George Steele green tongue.

It's SUPERSTAR SHAKEUP week, who's moving where? We'll find out tonight (and tomorrow)!

I've wondered about this too. Either she's actually good at her job OR her job is of such low importance and influence that it doesn't matter either way. As low level as it is, I kinda think it is her being good at her job. I have no idea if that is the case, but it isnt out of the realm of possibility. And I want it to be true because it is hilarious, and at this rate she might end up the last one standing. She has had decades practice at playing the straight person for megalomaniac. She's most likely the only person in DC not bothered by all the shenanigans going on. I can just imagine her shrugging and going "eh, I've dealt with worse". Money's going to rule all of course, but it's funny how most companies now pay attention to things like optics if for no other reason just for PR puroposes. The whole idea of running this show in this location after all the years of riding the Steph Express Female Empowerment Train makes them look so clueless. Also, it's not a good look for Prince MBS either. He's making it rain like Floyd Maywether at the club trying to change the perception of his country to the world, yet running a giant stadium show with no women allowed in the crowd or on the show is just going to cement everyone's ideas further. I guess the idea of just having a WWE show there is supposed to be the first baby steps to opening things up, but it's not coming off that way to most.

WWE is no longer the end-all be-all place it used to. You have to hustle, but you can make a living equal to all but the tippy top guys in WWE outside the company.

With the story they were going with, any wrestler would have been made to look like the biggest geek ever.

That song always gets edited out of Network shows/DVDs so I don't think anyone was expecting it. Would have been nice, but music rights for stuff pre-digital era can get messy.

I was actually shocked he didn't come back on any of the after Mania shows.

Vince is known to famously hate smoking of any kind, which considering that makes his views on pot make sense in a weird way.

Considering the substances wrestlers have relied on in the past to deal with the daily bumping and the grind of travel, it's ridiculous that WWE would have it on their list. They don't even count it as a Wellness failure, they just fine you for it. So they just create an environment where people either accept it as a "pot tax", or rely on potentially more dangerous substances.

Guys with legit cred like Angle and Brock will always be loved, but like the whole NJPW roster seems to mark out for Cheeseburger so who knows?

The idea that WWE will do something progressive with all this Saudi money seems hopelessly naive. I hope to be proven wrong, but history doesn't seem to suggest that is likely.

This is one of those moments where WWE should be happy they fly under the radar most of the time, any other sports league or entertainment company would have got crushed by the media for this kind of thing.

I think the Golden Lovers/Young Bucks match rating really got under people's skin since there's a pocket of folks who don't want to give the Bucks even the slightest of credit for being good enough to be part of of a five star match.

The whole point of the angle was that Braun didn't need or want a partner, Kurt was forcing him to have a partner, and in response he chose the most ridiculous person possible as a way of saying "fuck you". It's not WWE's fault that everyone was fantasy booking it to be Joe or Big Cass or whoever.

I think it's part they wanted to have him in the fold because he was starting to get buzz on the indies and part have him be an experienced guy for the newbies to get ring time with.
