I thought it was weird at the time to suddenly reference a show that was otherwise reconned from WWE canon, but I saw that an was like "ohhhh, that's why they did it". Also stupidness aside, I guess this was Rey being written out since he didn't sign a new deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rey was being written out, why bother having Dominic at the end? Unless Dom is staying and Rey is going, which seems unlikely to me.

Unless Dom is staying and Rey is going, which seems unlikely to me. The whole thing is weird, they must want Rey to sign one of those 5 year deals that aren't worth the paper they write them on and Rey is not budging. But continuing to go to work at the Covid Hut without any kind of contract isn't the best plan either. The best plan for Rey himself is to go literally anywhere else so he can make decent money and not have to deal with this bullshit. I get why he would want to stay in WWE for Dominic's sake but at some point he has to wonder if that's the best place for him as well.

C.S. Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 My guess is they are saying they can't sign Rey to a major money deal until after Covid is over, and Rey is working on a handshake deal until then. Purely speculation on my part, and dumb on Rey's part if there's anything to that, but he could be making bad decisions because he wants to look out for Dominic's welfare long-term. Again, I am 100% guessing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricR Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 This one left me a little flat. I thought McIntyre/Ziggler was a real strong title match. I'm glad that they went out and had that match and totally delivered while the cinematic main event was a bust. I thought Asuka/Sasha was great until the super insulting and dumb finish. And I loved Rey's performance despite not really knowing how I feel about the match itself. Feels like I should be more into two really good title matches and a great performance from one of my favorite wrestlers, but I am flat.

Again, I am 100% guessing here. I'd wager the sticking point is WWE wants to lock everyone in to long term deals and Rey has been going on shorter 18 month contracts. I can see WWE stupidly thinking they have some kind of leverage as if A: he wouldn't get a AEW offer in like .2 seconds, and B: their word means anything now after cutting a bunch of folks on long term deals.

cm funk Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Cesaro is now a 7X (5 w/ Sheamus, 1 w/ Kidd, 1 w/ Nakamura) WWE tag team champion! When you have guys like Billy Gunn, Edge, Christian, Jericho etc. I'm not sure that even puts him in the top 10 for combined reigns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 So Dave on the post show Observer show stated Apollo Crews' absence was indeed because of Covid, and the eye for an eye match was in fact intended to be Rey's write off with the "the doctors may be able to save his eye" part being an out if and when he does sign a new deal (Dave believes he will sign at some point).

El-P Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Reading this thread, this whole show reeks of stupidity. The Rey Rey thing is kind odd. Seems like all Rey is interested about is getting a job-for-life in WWE for his son. He really hasn't learned anything it seems... Plus, Dominic is put in an impossible situation, he's never gonna fill his daddy's shoes, he's gonna be a total nepotism case, he's only gonna learn how to work the WWE way, and really if anything goes awry between Rey and WWE at any point, do you think they'll bat an eye before firing the guy or humiliate him ? I'd rather have him learn the job, go around, travel and shit instead of try and make him a WWE cog 4 Life. I dunno, seems like corporate culture and it's not something I expect from Rey.

NintendoLogic Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 It's a real sign of the times that a babyface losing a grudge match with a brutal stipulation clean after being the one who issued the challenge in the first place is considered so unremarkable as to not even be worth commenting on.

The busted lineage of the various tag titles makes it really hard to find a simple list, but those guys all have more than him under the old lineage.

JustYourAvgBozo Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 I have nothing to add about the show, but Braun and Bliss were together long enough to do a Ride Along, complete with a Team "LittleBig" license plate. Maybe the creep is word getting out Braun introduced Gallows to the "Places I've Pooped" app. (Another episode of Ride Along.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadaveri Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 On a happy note Sasha Banks is back watching her Mayumi Ozaki tapes again. Her stomping Asuka's hand to prevent the rope break was straight out of DreamRush 1992. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
