It looks like Charlotte took time off again to repair an implant. Apparently the previous repair she had done was just temporary.

---

man 2020 has been wild, who remembers when evil beat naito for the iwgp and intercontinental titles with the help of dick togo dressed as bushi?

---

So apparently Kevin Owens said he was going home and wasn't coming back, and the only reason he did was because Vince asked him what would convince him to stay. He told him basically all the stuff they've implemented. Mandatory masks, fines for not wearing them, etc

---

Tammy Sytch has found herself in legal trouble again, as shes been arrested in New Jersey. PWInsider reports that Sytch is incarcerated at Monmouth County Correctional Institution and was processed as of 4:42 PM ET today.
The site reports that Sytch was arrested early this morning and was charged with operating a motor vehicle during a second license suspension, eluding a police officer and contempt/violation of a domestic violence restraining order. Details on the circumstances of the incident that provoked the arrest are not yet known.

While some released wrestlers have reappeared at least once (Slater, Maverick), Sarah Logan won't be one of them; her and Erik are expecting a baby early next year

---

Last Raw show before Extreme Rules and they still didn't announce what specialty match Dolph and Drew would have

lolz

---

Dolph said in promos: "He'll pick the stipulation at the time of the match to keep Drew guessing."

So WWE actually ON THE SHOW for once, gave an in kayfabe reason why not to say shit. Dolph is a scrub. We know he's a scrub. But for once, I think they did the right thing. He wants the theoretical advantage over a guy who has been unkillable.

...

I just said WWE made logical booking. Somebody shoot me.

*Edit: Might have been leaked, but lol dirtsheets*

On Dolph is my thought.


---

Dolph announces a Dolph Ziggler wins match.

Whoever is Dolph Ziggler after 5 minutes is the winner and champ.

Drew wins somehow

Not content with their eye for an eye match, Drew pulls Ziggler's face off and wears it to win the match.

I am down for all the green screen CGI stuff we can handle

Time for a Duchess of Queensberry rules match

I'd bet more on the Swamp, only because...

1) It provides us with even more antics in said Swamp match
2) It'd be the first time someone's cashed in somewhere besides a ring
3) We can get Braun vs Bray at Summerslam to close the feud and not be for the Universal title >_>

the horror show is right

---

The reason I say this is that theyll want something buzz worthy for Raw. A dramatic cash in May draw lapsed eyeballs.

Or detached ones!

Personally I think "Dolph comes up with a stip he auto wins but fails to account for Otis" is a pretty good story

so probably not

---

As do I, especially considering their history.


---

Oh hey, Ivelisse looks like she was signed with AEW, and Diamante may have an actual contract as well.

I've always liked Ivelisse, but I hear she has a bad rep backstage? Hoping she doesn't piss off people.

Actually I hope they sign Tessa now so we can get a rematch of their Lucha Underground match they never released where they both refused to go home.

---

Ivelisse? YESSSSS

I was a big fan of her LU run.

---

yeah Diamante has been in the crowd the last couple weeks, so I assumed she was at least gonna be on Dark again.

Good on them for grabbing the Baddest Bitch in the building.

---

Are FTR supposed to be faces? Cause unmasking dudes makes me turn on you instantly.

Edit: NVM that got answered quickly.

---

A Hangman/FTR faction? Yes please.

---

Ivelisse, huh? Hey, Cody checked my list again!

---

Fight for the Fallen otherwise known as everyone's a jerk night.

Cody, FTR, Omega. Even Sonny was shoving the camera. Everyone is in a bad mood tonight.

---

WWE is dumb for never picking up Ivellise, even after the Bill Demott thing. She was one of my favorite LU wrestlers, and would definitely bolster the WWE women's roster. But hey, AEW didn't do a dumb.

---

Watching AEW right now. Sonny Kiss vs. Cody was pretty awesome. It's the first time I've ever really cared about Sonny Kiss. Cody's been doing a good job of getting people over with the TNT Title.

---

I fucking love the Butcher's driving glasses.

---

FTR vs. Lucha Bros is about as awesome as anyone could expect. And it still feels like they held back and had a huge opportunity for an even more amazing rematch in the future.

---

Vickie Guerrero is the manager for Nyla Rose. Vickie can cut one hell of a promo. It was probably better than anything I can remember her doing in WWE honestly.

Her theme song in AEW is absolute hell though dear god.

---

Tegan Nox came out as a lesbian and Shotzi Blackheart came out as bisexual.

---

Sadly, this does nothing to affect my love for Shotzi and my total apathy for Carol Danvers. Now if Shotzi came out... in a real tank, then we would have some news.

---

Thinking about it, I suppose the news here is that they felt comfortable enough that their careers wouldn't be torpedoed in WWE with this? Because there definitely was a time when they would have been.

---

I also appreciate that WWE at the very least doesn't make "they're LGBT!" as their gimmick.

*stares at Orlando Jordan*

God, don't remind me. At least, right now, Jake Atlas and these two aren't being exploited for their sexuality. But, they're also not on the main roster yet.

---

I've been informed that Jericho cut a promo where he bragged about his ratings with the 18-49 demographics and called himself The Demo God.

i rolled my eyes when he started talking ratings but demo god was pretty funny

---

Hasn't Jericho actually been in the highest rated segment in the demo every single week in both shows? I remember that being the case for the first few months of AEW.

Regardless, I'm pretty sure this is just another excuse to give himself another dumb nickname.

---

I mean he was the highest rated segment period until recently, when Sasha Banks beat him and then Keith Lee beat him.

But yes he's still winner in the demo.

---

Jericho aka The Demo God doubled NXT in the double during his segment.

And it looks like AEW is back to winning out against NXT. Honestly? I think Mox is that much of a draw. Him having to pull out for his title match the last two weeks and then the week he comes back there's a boom.

---

NXT:

Males 12-34 got a 0.02.

50+ demo got 0.36.

Just fucking market to the olds at this point. You can't get anyone young to watch this show.

---

They are marketing to olds.

Why do you think they're so focused on the ladies?

---

So Gallows and Anderson are officially with Impact, and apparently they all think that their release was "inspired" by Paul Heyman.

---

Just in time for Slammiversary tonight! The bigger question is who the mystery person is in the fatal four way for the vacant title; rumors have stated either EC3, Eric Young, or even Ryder

It's clearly Animal >_>

Anyway, the Extreme Rules card as of now...

Wyatt vs Strowman in a Swamp Fight
McIntyre vs Ziggler for WWE title (stipulation TBD)
Rollins vs Mysterio in an Eye for an Eye match
Asuka vs Banks for Raw Women's title
Bayley vs Nikki for SD Women's title
Apollo vs MVP for US title
New Day vs Cesaro/Nakamura in a Table match for SD Tag titles

There possibly might be a Bar fight between Jeff Hardy and Sheamus, but nothing's confirmed yet

---

I am paraphrasing a bit and I could be wrong about the details, the story basically is:

AJ convinced them to stay (they had considered leaving for AEW).
They were ultimately released.
AJ had a source who told him it was Heyman.
AJ confronted Heyman, Heyman denied it and said if he lying to "fucking bury" him in public.
AJ went back to his source who said Heyman was lying.
AJ ultimately went to Vince who said they weren't originally on their list of releases but were ultimately added at the behest of Heyman.
AJ ultimately refused to work with Heyman anymore and was moved to Smackdown.

---

AJ is also kind of a dummy who actually believes that Vince wouldn't just say it was Heyman to get heat off himself. I don't buy it at all.

Also, the most appalling thing was Hunter guilting Anderson and saying he should think of his kids and sign with WWE over AEW because WWE is more secure. And six months later Karl Anderson is released during their record breaking financial quarter over a "money saving measure".
