I think people are overreacting to MJF's absence - assuming it's all a work, which I personally believe it is. This is a marathon, not a sprint. He will instantly be molten lava hot the second he comes back, with these past few months receding into the background as just a blip on the radar.

The asshole fan with the "Better Dad Than Chris Benoit" shirt should have been ejected from the arena. My thoughts exactly.

WTF is happening right now?

They just repeated the Claymore into spear spot. The finish has to be the same spot again, but with Drew finally connecting with the Claymore... ...right? Edit: Maybe not.

Prediction: "The Cure for Insomnia" Karrion Kross interferes, both men are laid out, Austin Theory cashes in.

Roman just did the Rock Bottom! IT'S ON!!!

The in-ring will be shit because Kross is shit, but the banter leading up to the match will be golden. It will be the ultimate carry job. You can say Drew will be "Karrion" Kross.

Red is all over the Clash logo, so maybe just that. Or maybe red for Raw. Is Cole wearing blue?

Seth says "hold my beer, HAHAHAHAHA!" and comes out looking even more ridiculous.

It looked awesome, and Rey sold it like he was shot.

#WHYDOMWHY I hope the endgame is Edge turning back.

WTF is Edge wearing?

ADRIAN STREET AND MISS LINDA! Is Adrian wearing a woman's top? LOL. Fits his gimmick.

Likable plucky underdog who was underutilized for most of her run.

Prediction for Liv vs. Shayna: Same finish as SummerSlam

Bathroom, concessions, merchandise. Real reason: Peacock runs commercials between matches.

That was AWESOME!

It has been. And that animal's name is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONTTTTTTTTUUUUUUHHHHHH!

THE MAIN EVENT is on now!

Here's the Trips interview with Ariel. Don't expect hard-hitting investigative journalism or anything like that, but he does ask the questions most fans have had on their minds. In that light, it's well worth a watch.

I wonder if burning hot coal will be used as a foreign object. That would be something new.

Didn't realize there was a kickoff show. Did I miss anything?

Lost opportunity: Fish not jobbing to HOOK. I'm not buying the PPV either, so don't think I'm trying to talk you into it, but I am pretty sure this is the beginning of a slow burn heel turn for Punk. I actually hope he loses in Chicago to really get the wheels in motion, but even if he wins, I expect this will either be his last truly face moment or where he officially turns. "Twisted Metal," to be specific, which has the potential to be a really big deal - far bigger than being the "World" Champion of a dead brand.

I never want to see anyone lose their job, but I also never understood the point of AEW bringing in Fish, Tony Nese, Matt Sydal (is he still there?), and other ham 'n eggers like that who are a dime a dozen and have never made a difference anywhere. I assume Fish already knew he was a goner by the time he made those tweets, but if they're the reason he's being let go, good riddance - acting like an unprofessional jackoff about a co-worker's ring skills when yours are the drizzling shits in comparison, and you're not 1/10th the star, is a more than valid reason for TK not to re-sign someone.
