If WWE had balls they would send him to AEW with limitations for use. Friendly use agreements help everyone. Sadly WWE stuck in the 90's where people can only work one place.

Realistically, Jey likely just gonna sit home for four months.

Do you think Tony would let CM Punk wrestle in the WWE while under contract with AEW?

Roman & Jimmy never listen. Jey went MIA when they were bickering the 1st time.

Rey is US Champ, Dirty Dom is the NA Champ - when is the Battle for America taking place?

I would have killed to be at Smackdown tonight. Whether that was Edge’s last match or not, seeing him come out in his hometown with Maple Leafs inspired gear with everyone singing his theme…fuck I got teary eyed.

EDIT: I didn’t even realize he had a Borje Salming patch on too! I FUCKING LOVE THIS DUDE.

The Borje patch was a very nice touch.  He was my favorite Leaf for the longest time.

LA Knight winning the US Title would be my favourite moment of the year if they'd let it happen.

I don't understand how " Attitude Era Cosplay " is a negative in the WWE universe. You mean he's one of the few who walks to the ring with all the confidence in the world, isn't a geek, looks great and can actually string together a promo that makes sense, gets to the point and engages the crowd, with everybody saying..

We're either getting a Mix/Knight feud....or a forced Miz/Knight tag team....

I wouldn't be unhappy if the Miz, Knight, Waller & Theory feuded over the US title for the foreseeable future.

I don't understand, no... I don't care for Rey and his US title reign, he doesn't need it. The only match I would feel that would be noteworthy would be an obvious Dom match for the NA and US titles. Otherwise, let someone who needs a run, have it.

YEAH!

This is a cool gesture: x.com/samizayn/status/1697271035001761995?s=46

Edge signed his custom Toronto gear and donated it to Sami Zayn to auction off with 100% of proceeds going to Sami for Syria.

Edge has slowly climbed my ranks for all-time favourite over the years and damn if he isn’t challenging for that top spot. What a guy.

I really don’t understand any part of it. It feels like it was there to set up the LWO implosion, but nobody cares about lwo now that they’re back from Puerto Rico.

Even more amazing that a booking team this scared of title changes made such a dumb choice. Is this the first mens single title change of the year? I can’t remember I guess when Theory finally won the US belt but it was around start of the year I guess.

Both guys are above that title. AT had a way better reign on Raw.

I guess that road crew turned up.

ROCK'S HERE!!!

Holy fucking bananas!

It's The Rock!

" It's not your show, it's The People's Show... :

I'm like " nah, there's no way... "

FUCKING FOX, WITH THEIR FUCKING CENSORSHIP!!!

Rock and Cena in one night. I guess this is what happens when Hollywood goes on strike.

A Rock v Cena confrontation wouldn't be so much to ask for would it?

Austin attacks Cena, as he's boys with Waller.. Rock makes the save... sets up a big tag match at the next PLE.

Rock, Cena, and now AJ Styles v Finn Balor!

What is happening?!

That match was announced this morning but yeah, this has been a damn good show.

I had a feeling Rock would be there after he was on McAfee today but I still lost my shit. ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY

There's probably not enough said about Waller - 6 years in business, 2 years in WWE, 4 months on the main roster and he's killing it.

John Cena and The Rock on the same show. Incredible.

Look, I'm not as high on LA Knight as the rest of ya, but he's way better than Austin Theory and Grayson Waller. So why do those two guys get the legends segments?

They need the rub. 

Well, they don't. But they're both tall, good looking guys who can work and talk. And it's the perfect time for them to play the fools in their careers at the expense of some vets before any serious pushes start. 

I get that John Cena can't bump much because there's a risk of injuries and ruining his acting career. I get it.

But why can't John Cena talk? Are the movie execs afraid he'll lose his voice? Injure his throat?

It was odd that he didn't say anything.

Smackdown is moving to USA Network in October 2024! It’s a 5 year deal.

NBC will own the streaming rights of all WWE in United States through USA and Peacock!

Interesting development. 40% increase in fees but it stays on Friday nights which will limit the ratings they’ll able to do. 1.5m would be my guess. This supports the report I read recently that they plan to package SmackDown with a UFC and WWE PLE to sell to bidding cities.

I also would predict Raw now ends up on NBC and gets cut to two hours but I wouldn’t bet my house on it just yet.

Looks like John Cena's here to stay. He opened the show and actually got to open his mouth this time! He had a nice time riffing off the "What?" chants before getting down to business. John Cena wants to fight the Bloodline! He calls out AJ Styles to be his partner. AJ Styles comes out and says "I won't stand side by side with you, John Cena, until I bleed with you first." The match was set. Extreme Rules between AJ Styles and John Cena!!!

Just kidding. Styles said yes, and after some backstage drama involving Adam Pearce, Paul Heyman and Jimmy Uso, Cena/Styles vs The Bloodline was set for Fastlane.

By the Bloodline, I mean Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso. Roman Reigns has been absent for what seems like forever and, in his absence, Jimmy Uso is taking matters into his own hands, brazenly making decisions and overruling Paul Heyman and his ever-present cell phone.

The show ended with Cena getting slapped around like a jobber, the outcome of every recent Cena appearance.

LA Knight was suppose to help Cena out. But he was cut from this week's show, since he got COVID.

I know it's barely October, but I'm picking Knight to win The Rumble.

If you need to explain what being over is, and can't find the words - show a clip of LA Knight throwing hands with The Bloodline and the audience chanting "Yeah!" with each punch.

So are the profits heel?
