WWE TV 4/20-4/26 time for the Ingovernables de Titan Sports to reign supreme

[sek69]

The faction we didn't know we wanted but can't live without is here to save Raw.

[Tenese Sarwieh]

I only tuned in for Rey/Murphy. It was good but man having a crowd there really elevate things, I think I've reached a turning point to the empty arena matches. 

[KawadaSmile]

Garza vs Drew will bang fucking hard 

 

Also, this mitb stipulation is dope. DDT is avantgarde

[sek69]

Also I lol every time Zelina's NOO YAWK-ness comes out when she says Austin Theory's name.

[KawadaSmile]

Garza vs Drew was fun. I wish it was more competitive, though

[Mad Dog]

Maybe Nia should take better care of her opponents after mouthing off about Ronda not being safe. 

[Mad Dog]

Also can we talk about the buckle bomb? I think I would rather someone give me a piledriver than take a buckle bomb. 

[FMKK]

I'd rather someone give me Covid-19 than have to work a squash against Nia Jax.

I wish I could still like comments

This new Money In The Bank concept is getting WWE closer to The Running Man

[C.S.]

Is there actually any confirmation that Nia's opponent was injured in the match? The spot looked nasty, sure, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything in and of itself.

[SirEdger]

No, but given Kairi's history of concussions (TLC anyone?), Nia could've given her another one. And God knows what would've happened next for Kairi afterwards if Vince thought she was too injury prone. They either need to rein Nia in or cut her loose because she's doing the exact same thing she accused Ronda Rousey of.

[sek69]

It was a reckless thing to do with someone who has an injury history, and as stated she should be the most careful worker on the roster now with how she's shooting her mouth off.

Maybe not, but it was a clear botch and if Kairi is not hurt, that's pure luck. There's also a video going around Twitter where Kairi audibly says she is not ready/set up but Nia gives her the move anyway. 

[Mad Dog]

Kairi really deserves better than being forced to work with morons like Nia and Charlotte.

[NintendoLogic]

Wouldn't it be something if "John" turned out to be Seth Rollins? That'd be the ultimate swerve.

WWE stating they follow social distancing guidelines outside of the ring when multiple WWE personnel are regularly posting videos of them backstage not socially distancing would be hilarious if it wasn't putting people at risk.

In response to the anonymous accusations filed with the Orange County Board of Directors today and read for the public record, World Wrestling Entertainment issued the following statement to PWInsider:

"These accusations aren’t true. Employees know they can confidentially go to Human Resources, not the public. Notwithstanding the appropriate protocol, no one would be fired if they were uncomfortable with their surroundings. We’ve made accommodations for individuals upon request."

(from https://www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.php?id=135788)

-------------------

The WWE's response is so cartoonishly evil it's funny. Like, I can't read it without imagining Conan O'Brien doing it in a sarcastic, mocking tone with wild eyes. 

Even if you take it at face value, it is an awful quote. "Employees know they can confidentially go to Human Resources" - Uh, yeah, and they know that they will possibly lose their job or be strong-armed into continuing to report to work. That's why they made it a public comment. That sentence doesn't their case at all. Neither does "Notwithstanding the appropriate protocol," which reads like victim-blaming. 

Also, kinda hard to say nobody would be fired for criticizing or going against the company's wishes after the biggest day of layoffs in what? A decade or two? Ever?

If I'm Mojo Rawley, I'm updating my resume right now. Also, Gronk is the current 24/7 champion, so it'll be interesting to see how they get the belt off him.

[sek69]

I'm sure no one is being "forced" to violate protocols, just like no one was "forced" to get juiced to the gills in the 80s. They don't have to force anyone when they make it clear what happens when you don't.

So, Hunter seems to have aged about 25 years. Reminds me of how his hero Flair looked really good until 2002 and then all of a sudden looked 10 years older than he was

[FMKK]

The hair has got to go. Is he trying to join Gallus?

[El-P]

He almost looks like Varg Vikerness now. No nazi memorabilia on his shelf though...

[MoS]

Clearly an attempt to show solidarity for Brodie Lee and Eric Rowan

[SirEdger]

It's like he wants to be Mark & Jay Briscoe's long lost relative or something.
