It seems like they want us to think that the BCC took out the Bucks, but they've never taken credit for it. You would think in storyline they'd be out there like "yeah we did that shit", but they haven't which makes me think some other shoe is going to drop.

NXT was decent enough for a go home show, but the whole "HBK as NXT's new dad" just doesn't work for anyone who grew up with asshole cokehead HBK.

Matt Jackson tore a bicep, so it looks like even if Punk does come back, that program won't happen right away anyway. I agree though, all six of them seem like smart enough business guys to see the value in sucking it up and doing it even if you don't completely love the guy. Also I wonder if Dax would slide it in his demands to re-sign with AEW that Punk gets brought back. I could see him being the type to use his leverage to step up to the plate for his hero.

Yeah I noticed that, and it also seems clear Punk noticed that too. To the point where even if somehow the beef was squashed between him and the EVPs, I would expect that would very much be not the case with Jericho.

Also it's starting to become clear that despite his potential as a draw, everyone seems generally tired of Punk's bullshit at this point.

I don't think there was much risk in belting up Mox without a contract.He's made it clear he never wants to go back to WWE so the worst that could happen is he shows up on some indy shows or a New Japan show, which wouldn't be the worst thing.

Heyman posted a photo of him back when he managed the Samoan Swat team in the 80s, which was Samu and (Rikishi) Fatu, so there's a natural progression there.

DOM DROPPING BOMBS

Whoa, where the fuck did this promo come from there Mr. Theory

Bloodline-as-Goodfellas was such an obvious but great bit.

Strowman running into Otis legit looked like two rams running into each other.

WWE has quite the Meatyweight division

that "ASUKA IS MOMMY" sign in the crowd made me think bubba @KawadaSmilewas at the show

I'm not trying to body shame, but Dakota has been giving me legit eating disorder vibes the last few weeks. I hope everything is okay.

Did Bayley forget she was wearing her pajama pants?

Miz is so ridiculously good at sports-entertaining.

Everything involving No Fucks Given Cowboy Brock has been golden so far, which is why I'm actually kind of looking forward to what he's planning with Omos.

If you would have told me last year that this Mania will be the hottest in years but Brock was in what's basically a midcard match with Omos, I would have asked for the name of your dealer.......yet here we are.

So after there were many tongues being clucked within WWE about Britt Baker working on a broken wrist, Ronda's going to be working Mania with a broken forearm. I suppose it's comforting some things never change.

It's probably not a coincidence that the promo ability of people from NXT noticeably fell off a cliff when Dusty wasn't there anymore. It's crazy they don't just make part of training at the PC having them study promos from all the footage they own. Or give one of the legends they work with stop by and give a class or two. You'd know Foley would be down, he'd do anything for a gig. Come to think of it, it's actually amazing anyone in NXT can do a promo at all considering the main people in charge now are Hunter, King of the Boring Ass 20 Minute Promo and Shawn "was really great at a lot of things but talking wasn't one of them" Michaels.

I've noticed in all my years watching pro wrestling, learning promos seems to be the hardest thing for people to grasp when learning how to be a wrestler (outside of those who were natural born talkers).

A heel everyone wants to see get their ass kicked is always great, and Dom is no exception. I feel like everyone kind of forgot (since it was during the pandemic which everyone is trying to memory hole) how Dom was pretty good from his first match, it was just a matter if he would grasp the outside-of-the-ring stuff. It's been amazing how the whole Judgement Day gimmick ended up being the thing that got both Dom and Rhea over that last hump to "getting it".

At least he'll probably get to look cool tossing geeks around instead of whatever cluster the Bray match would have been, so that's a bonus. Also Dom's braver than I am, I wouldn't talk shit on a Mexican mother even in kayfabe.

Punk also needs to learn when he's being baited and realize he doesn't have to respond to everything people say about him, real or imagined

Dave was being cryptic about it, saying they did the HBK homage in case they had to cover a longer absence. Now that she's apparently been cleared, I wonder how they are going to handle the ladder match they set up.
