Ronda’s selling is next-level great

Pray for Shane McMahon’s knees

Are they repeating 2014 with Becky as Bryan losing the first match but doing the right thing this time and putting her in the Rumble?

Loved Murphy dispatching everyone with knees, a pretty convincing way to keep him strong. Murphy vs Trevor Lee would be a real jam

Man, they really should have had that NXT brawl air during Takeover

Bryan is having the time of his life cutting these promos.

Reigns at 30 would result in the pop to end all pops

Dug that quite a lot. Shayna carries herself like a total star and they did just about everything they could to make Bianca look good in defeat. Nice attention to the limb work down the stretch from Bianca too which gets bonus points from me. If Shayna is moving up, I like the story of Bianca learning from this and winning next time out

Ah, I’m behind on NXT but that makes sense if Dream is staying in NXT for a while longer

Long Ricochet matches expose him pretty badly IMO but I'm also, absolutely not the audience for him, even though everything he hits is pretty phenomenal to see. I guess Riddle/Gargano is coming soon?

Gargano is trying but Ricochet just loves doing flips.

Riddle's rise will be undeniable but Hero was so good in that match. All of his stuff looked really nasty but he was awesome as the asshole veteran who tried to save himself after biting off more than he could chew. I'd love a main roster run where he could do that stuff in and around the IC/US Titles but I know he's set in NXT.

All this talk of great entrances but nothing is going to top this

If they still cared about protecting guys, he has everything to be a fantastic gatekeeper.

The name is dumb but Undisputed Era are really over as a unit and their shirt seems to be a top seller so I'd be prepared for Adam Cole as NXT Champ with the others flanking him.

These pre-show panels are so awful. Who are these two assholes?

Man, if Ronda goes and doesn't return after having kids, she's one of the greatest lost opportunities in wrestling. Her debut year was pretty fantastic and she would have only improved.

For what it's worth, this didn't work for me as a lapsed subscriber so it may be a US only deal.

I was reading that they’re in talks with Batista for a Mania match so maybe he gets Cena? Hollywood vs Hollywood is absolutely something they would love internally

Tracey Williams vs Zack Sabre Jr was some pretty solid TV wrestling this week. Lots of nifty reversals as you'd expect and they did a great job of subtly involving Tracey's bad shoulder before getting a great flash finish off it.

Anyone watch Impact this week? Another, easy, enjoyable two hours of wrestling but I'm less than enthused with the programs they're setting up around the belts. Killer Kross has time to grow on me, I guess but I'm starting to bounce off Sami Callihan in a big way and OVE make sense as the next challengers for LAX but I'm not personally pumped for it. But, all is made up by the return of BIG POPPA PUMP. Scarlett Bordeaux in lingerie was a very Attitude Era segment but, and not to be crude, that is a very attractive woman, my word.

Yeah, while he clearly misses Roman as his nemesis, this has been, oddly, forgotten as one of the greatest booking mishaps of our age. Another fine example of them booking themselves into a corner and finding the absolute stupidest way out of it possible.

Really digging their first acquisitions, especially my boy CIMA. But I’m really looking forward to seeing Cody and the Bucks paraded out before a Fulham game in the Premier League this season. Hopefully when I’m down there with Newcastle

Oh, i don't think they would offer him that, I'm just having fun thinking about how much they'd spend to try in an attempt to kneecap AEW before it's even begun.
