C.S.

Forget about Richard Fliehr. The bigger news is that JoJo Offerman was quietly released months ago. Seriously though, with I.R.S., Bo, and JoJo all getting released over the past year, I wonder if any of that played a part in Bray's rumored dissatisfaction.

Mickie James indirectly blamed Bliss too, even if that wasn't necessarily her intention. Obviously she meant it as a criticism of WWE higher-ups, but she should've been smart enough to realize her comments could potentially cause unnecessary issues for Bliss.

The official NXT account on Facebook just posted a pic of Keith Lee holding both NXT singles titles next to Triple H. God, I would love a Samoa Joe-Keith Lee program. That would be the most exciting thing NXT has done in years! I'm salivating just thinking about it.

As someone who thought Joe's previous NXT Title reigns were a colossal bore, even I'm rooting for him to squash Kross and regain the Championship.

Keith Lee losing to an irredeemable bore like Kross sucks.

If EVIL isn't reprimanded after this, you might be right.

If a non-entity like Impact can develop a relationship with NJPW - multiple times, at that - then there's nothing stopping WWE, except WWE itself.

Drake Wuertz?

Japan dates, being allowed to work indies, less dates for more money (otherwise known as "The Brock"), creative control, the freedom to pick who he faces, a private plane or bus paid for by WWE, vegan treats hand-delivered to his locker room, more environmentally-friendly policies... I'm exaggerating with some of these, obviously, but there are a million little things he can ask for to make his life more comfortable.

Probably highly unethical and potentially illegal to fire Colt for that - not that it'd ever happen, but still. This. But it might be enough of a deterrent to keep Punk from signing. It's an awkward situation, and who wants to put themselves through that? Like Bryan, I'll believe it when I see it. Wouldn't surprise me if both were leveraging AEW negotiations to ultimately get better deals with WWE - something we've seen time and time again with Randy Orton and others.

It would be cool if Jeff Hardy shows up in NXT tonight, squashes Kross and wins the title cheaply, and then does a heel run where he acts like he's above the developmental territory. I'm not even a Jeff Hardy fan, but he's a golden god compared to Kross.

I'm more interested in the Raw Women's Title than I've been in well over a year, so I'd say you're both wrong on that count. For once, WWE has elevated a popular, fun wrestler that's easy to root for. Ditto for when Big E finally (we hope) wins the men's World Title.

Drew and Jinder have history. Drew wanted the feud while he was champ, but Jinder got injured again. As for Nikki, she won Money in the Bank with the "dork ass superhero gimmick," so I'd say she's doing fine too. (Unless/until she gets Otis-ed.) Edit: New Women's Champion. So much for sek's conspiracy theories.

I wonder if Jeff Hardy is going down to NXT to be Kross's next feud. If not, WOOOOOOOOWWWWW, Kross is officially DOA on the main roster. And no Scarlet really kills his act. It's something he wanted though.

JOHN CENA!!!

And there it is!

I'm just waiting for the inevitable Seth Rollins run-in...

The latter, considering that his presence did absolutely nothing for Cesaro, Ryback, and Curtis Axel. Granted, the latter two were beyond anyone's help, but still. (Axel was "a good hand" but that was about it.)

Not sure how this is considered a competitive match when Roman pinned both Edge and Daniel Bryan at the same time at WrestleMania. After that, why would anyone think Edge has a prayer in Hell of unseating the Head of the Table?

If there was any unpredictability, any sense of danger, with Lashey/Kofi and Reigns/Edge, I would care a lot more - but there isn't, so I don't. At the very least, the Kofi story and match is hopefully leading to Lashley vs. Big E.

BIG E WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOLY SHIT AT BIG E!

Thank God for That Indian Guy! I like Drew, but having him win this would have been boring.
