C.S.

I think so. To me, it's obvious that The Dentist vs. Smiley Kylie was meant to be the first AEW Women's Title Match.

I'd love that too.

Even though everyone loves dentists, I do think Dr. Britt Baker, M.M.D. should be a heel act.

Is that sort of thing a first for wrestling? Smart if they're actually getting money from that.

What was the product placement? I missed that.

I'm watching AEW this week, but I envy all of you getting to enjoy Mauro's amazing commentary on NXT!

That makes perfect sense! Carry on, gents.

Surprised by the lack of posts... Did John Cena Roman Reigns Rusev Drew Gulak jump to NXT and win the title or something?

That's unfortunate for Luchasaurus. But yeah, Jungle Boy and Stunt shouldn't be winning. Not every title needs to go to an established vet. They did that with the World Title. With Luchasaurus out, Private Party should probably win.

There's nothing wrong with Alexa being traded, per se (I'd take her over Sasha Banks seven days a week and twice on Sundays). What's wrong is how underwhelming and ultimately useless the "blockbuster announcement" was. Okay, so Smackdown gets Sasha and Nikki. What's next? Who does Raw get? Oh, they can get someone down the road. There was nothing blockbuster about it.

As cool as the Private Party elevation was, Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus is the team that needs to be going all the way. I'd be very disappointed if the Lucha Bros advance tonight and end up winning. IMO, the tournament is a lot more interesting without the super-teams in it. Bucks were eliminated last week and it would be nice if the Bros can follow them out the door.

Wow...

Anyone else watching WWE Backstage? Amazing set, and...that's it. The Alexa-Nikki non-news was a waste of time, and the fact that they've confirmed that Raw can take their picks down the road confirms that this is already going to be another hot mess. I've already tapped out. I think I'm just thoroughly burned out on the stale, ice cold, skews to the over 50 demographic WWE product.

EB is pure class. BTW, did anyone catch the amusing Bix-Satin fight on Twitter last night about writing teams? I think Bix won handily, but that's just me.

This is the conventional wisdom, but how come three-hour PPVs were never a slog back in the day? A good three-hour show, while never ideal, is attainable.

Heyman has been fucking abysmal too so far, if the quality of RAW is any indication. The show still sucks and feels like a torturous slog to get through. Yes, you can point to little things - Cedric Alexander's push, the Kanellis cuck storyline, etc. - but it all gets dropped after a few weeks. So, either Heyman has ADD or the Hand of Vince is still all over the show.

Didn't Bischoff move his entire family to Stamford for this? Wow. Poor guy...

So, uh, Bischoff out and Yes-Man Prichard in. WTF???

That's not the impression I or anyone else came away with, and that definitely isn't how it looked or was presented on TV. If that was Tyson's intent, he didn't convey it to anyone other than himself.

I was hoping for a Cattie-Lacey victory, but excellent match.

Great match so far... Cattie has carried Asuka to her best match on the main roster. Okay, I don't really mean that second part.

Trade prediction? I don't think Bray Wyatt is long for Smackdown, so who from Raw can be traded for him?

Here's hopin' Cattie and Lacey take the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles, baby!!!

"Blockbuster trade." Who could this be?
