...So who wins if the last member of one team is a man and the other a woman?


I assume the same thing as when Mike Kanellis lost to Becky Lynch last week.

Or how Becky hauled off and shotted Corbin in the face a couple of times.

Also Ambrose finally responded to Rollins' comments about him leaving:

Theres this episode of Frasier I was thinking about... the dog, Eddie, is really depressed, and hes all sad, mopey, and they dont know what - he wont eat, you know, they dont know whats wrong with him. The vet doesnt know whats wrong with him. So they hire a dog psychiatrist to examine him, and then the comedy ensues for the next 26 minutes. But then at the end of the episode they find a toy was like stuck under the couch. And then all of a sudden everythings good! Hes like oh! [hopping up and down] and hes not depressed any more. It was just the toy, the thing that he likes to do...

For me like, thats all it was. Now that the fog has continually lifted more and more, and I kind of realize how deeply unhappy I was there, that I didnt realize at the time because I was like well, Im making a bunch of money and it seems like its going good! Now Im like - Im kind of realizing how much it effected me. But now its like oh! I found my toy under the couch - pro wrestling - again. Its all good!

Even like when I did that podcast, that was like a couple weeks removed... I hadnt debuted at Double or Nothing yet, it had just been months of me being silent while everybody else is talking about my career, my life and everything, telling me what Im gonna do, and where Im gonna go, and whats happening. Cause I just stayed silent the whole time. So that was a frustrating time, to hear everybody else talking about you, when they dont know what the f*** theyre talking about. So it was like my first words - I was a little jumpy. Like, it was like, pretty emotional, you know?

But its almost like you have a fight with your wife or girlfriend or whatever, then you have some sex and then the next morning youre like, what were we fighting about? Oh thats so stupid. Now its like, whatever it is, a month or two later, I could never replicate that podcast cause Im like what? what was I - its all good [laughs].


Moxley is the dog from Fraiser.

I actually watched last week's Raw to see what the hype was about and didn't even think it was much better. Most notable thing I saw was that it started with a match instead of a boring ass 30 minute promo. Which hey, progress, but I'm not sure there wasn't a bit of perception skewing reality going on there.


Also I want to echo these sentiments. This is spot on.

I will say that stuff like the Mike & Maria stuff was actually DIFFERENT than usual, but it definitely wasnt BETTER

Also this Owens face turn is really one of the hardest 180s Ive ever seen

Like, they turn bottom-carders face/heel all the time for no reason, but not usually top guys unless its Big Show

Literally went from trying to manipulate Kofi into an undeserved title shot to being the guy to tell it like it is to Shane for taking opportunities from people in one appearance

(Also of course it revolves around Shane)

Honestly, if you just threw in one little scene at the beginning of the show where Cedric asks to be Roman's partner and they laugh at him while they go searching for whatever arena worker they can, it would work.

Without it, the only justification is "Roman is a lockerroom leader that everyone loves so someone decided to step in and help him" which just adds more questions.

I dont have an issue with the mystery partner BEING Cedric

It was to give the heels a win on the go-home show without having Roman take the pin. I would argue it was very very very very dumb but largely not pointless, especially if the goal was to give Cedric a little rub going forward as "this guy is gonna be important."

Of course there's a chance he's chasing the 24/7 title again next week so...

How exactly? I mean McMahon only has his win over Roman because of DREW MAC. And McMahon only wins matches via flukes or interference.

It takes an extraordinary effort to ever give anyone a rub in defeat. There was no rub! Thats like saying Truth got a rub when he teamed with Miz on SD a few weeks ago against Team Shane and got pinned for the first fall

He dominates all of his matches. He beat Roman with Drews help, but Drew couldnt beat Roman with Shanes help. He constantly makes former WM main event winner The Miz look like a chump. They make The Undertaker go out of his way in his promo to put over how badass Shane is.

I mean, you go from chasing around a joke championship to being in the final shot of RAW, that feels like a rub.

A completely nonsensical rub that they will likely not follow up on, but a rub nonetheless.

You mean the WM Main Event winner that needed The Rock's interference to win said match and got clowned in the end anyway?

Miz has always been a chump, hell he looked less chumpish by completely dominating his match with Shane anyway at WM than by needing Rock to restart his match and Rock Bottom Cena to get the victory.

I actually think there's a good chance Shane takes the fall. Mostly because DREW MAC loves to attack his old teammates, from Ziggler to Strowman to Slater. I could see Shane eating the pin and an enraged DREW MAC claymoreing his head off.

No, the problem is that they're basically not fully committing to DREW MAC and keep putting him in these pointless alignments. First Ziggler, then Strowman, then the stupid team with Lashley and Corbin, and now Shane. They never want to commit to him as a solo main event act and I don't know if it's they believe he needs someone to draw heat for him or they're just keeping him in a holding pattern until they finally pull the trigger on him as the top heel.
