Can't believe they are doing this stinky "doesn't Maxxine suck?" storyline to get her some sympathy.

GUNTHER's IC belt is legit one of the greatest title runs ever.

As dumb as it was I lol'd at the "dead brother" line

Also throwing in the stipulation that Cody never gets another title shot if he loses  is brilliant since it calls back to when he did it in AEW (and lost).

[NintendoLogic]

Gunther/Sami has the potential to be an all-timer. The best offensive wrestler in the company vs. the best seller in the company. The story writes itself.

That Maxxine angle might've been the fastest Bingo! in the history of WrestleCrap Bingo Cards.

I mean, it just had it all and it had it all in under 60 seconds...

- Awful use of insider jargon (Candice LeRae screaming "You think we're going to take that?" as in "take that move")

- Blatant use of the phrase "the internet" 

- Blatant use of the phrase "the locker room" as a reference to "backstage heat"

- Everyone being a bad actor, using bad facial expressions, delivering lines poorly

- Wrestler "not following the script" by attempting to walk out on the match

- The wrestler whose gimmick it is to be "bad at wrestling" not being noticeable worse than other competitors in the match (Indi Hartwell didn't exactly look like the second coming of Bobby Eaton in there)

I don't think it's meant to be a reference to Maxx Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Priiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. Apparently, her real brother died. You'd think WWE would have learned their lesson after the Paige-Charlotte feud laid an egg with the same storyline.

HBK strikes again

[sek69]

Gonna be interesting that WWE is having Summerslam in the Browns's stadium this year. It's pretty much as close to Lake Erie as you can get without being in it, and depending on the jet stream the winds coming off it can be quite chilly even in the summer.

Love seeing Brooks Jensen ditching the cowboy gear only to look like an up and coming southern babyface on a studio wrestling show circa 1982 (complete with Ole shirt).

[...TG]

The King is at Smackdown tonight. Looking pretty good too:

[WingedEagle]

Did I miss a non-televised angle where Rock turned back babyface?

[EnviousStupid]

Rock Concert!

[KawadaSmile]

Rock saying to a widow that her son's blood and her tears will be all over that belt and caping it off with a Maui song is TOP TIER. 10/10.

I kind of feel bad for Bayley that her program is at best the 4th most compelling one on the show despite her doing some of her best work. Also because she almost got her nose Jeff Hardy'd by that moonsault by Io.

I get where you're coming from, but if Bayley and Io are given enough time to have a banger of a match with enough outside drama from the rest of Damage Ctrl, they can come out of WrestleMania and have everyone talking about them - just like Christian did when he carried Edge, The Hardys, and The Dudleys in a TLC match.

Another incredible one-two punch from Rock of the great long-form social media promo + top notch TV segment. What a run he's on right now.
