A bit accurate, perhaps?

Dude won a 3-on-1 handicap match against the Shield, beat the Wyatt Family, and was only thrown out of the Rumble by Kane after eliminating him.

He literally told the story about how he hated the handicap match because they insisted on Roman looking strong and he told them that they should just have the Shield beat him then, and they refused to. Lol

And wasn't he thrown out of the Rumble by Kane because something went extremely wrong with it or Punk was injured and they had to call an audible?

That makes much more sense and not surprising on the Roman part, even in 2013 when the rocket wasn't strapped to his back.

I don't normally watch any of the weekly shows live, but I guess I'll have to for Smackdown this week or risk white rabbit spoilers

I want to see another Rollins/Lashley bout without interference stuff. That counter to the Stomp was so simple yet so awesome

It looked so clean. IIRC, he used it first against Roman and it was just so gO.Odt!

Wonder if a Young Solo will pop up in next Season's Young Rock... We already got a Young Roman "wanting to be acknowledged'.

The opening of Smackdown was so beautiful

So happy for Sami Zayn

Extreme Rules updated card

McIntyre vs Kross in a strap match
Edge vs Balor in an I Quit match
Belair vs Bayley in a Ladder match for the Raw Women's title
Morgan vs Rousey in an Extreme Rules match for the SD Women's title
Rollins vs Riddle in a Fight Pit match
Brawlin Brutes vs Imperium in a Good Old Fashioned Donnybrook match (aka a 3-on-3 anything goes brawl)

What main events that

Ladder Match or Fight Pit?

I'd say Ladder Match, unless they finally give Rousey her main event win.

Also even considered Edge/Balor to main event, considering the number of times Judgment Day has closed Raw.

But if I have to choose only one, it's probably the ladder match.

Fun, yet useless fact: No PPV main event has had the SD tag titles defended yet*

Obviously we know the WWE and Universal belts headline most shows. The rest?

IC - A couple; mainly SummerSlam 92, Backlash 2001, and Extreme Rules 2018

US - World War 3 1998

Both Women's titles have the Winner Take All from Wrestlemania 34

Women's Tag Title match main evented TLC 2019

Raw Tag title match main evented TLC 2009 under their previous title name

* - 24/7 title doesn't count

He has been let in

cant be the only one here, but those links have me giddy AF!!!!

That whole world section dragged on to long but the beginning of it and Bray's actual appearance got massive reactions.

Now to see what they do with him.

Judgment Day makin' me mad!

Now they've truly arrived.

AEW has become unwatchable this year whereas WWE under Triple H has made the shows more exciting than it has ever been in years.

I'm glad you have some wrestling you enjoy. Personally I am still enjoying AEW and after trying a week of HHH WWE could not continue it.

Gunther/Sheamus and Sami/Bloodline are both fun stories that I'm enjoying. Not much else for me though

Sounds about right; pretty much the two best things WWE has going for them at the moment.

Seth's win over Lashley makes him the second person to become a two-time Grand Slam Champion (at least under the modern format) after the Miz accomplished said feat in 2021. Here's a few superstars who are close to the same accomplishment...

Kofi - Needs WWE or Universal title
Rey Mysterio - Needs WWE or Universal title

Pigs'd fly before the former gets the UC, they'd probably give it to him for a month then chuck him to Lesnar again "because they can"

Those who are one belt away from a Grand Slam (active WWE wrestlers only)

McIntyre (US)
Strowman (US)
Ziggler (WWE or Universal)
Owens (Tag)
Sheamus (IC)
Nakamura (WWE or Universal)
Balor (Tag)
Big E (US)
Lashley (Tag)
Shelton (WWE or Universal)

Any of the tag ones could definitely happen.

Old also see any of the US/IC ones happening.

None of thr World ones are happening.

Owen's, Balor, Sheamus all sound doable soon

Remember 5 years ago when there was hype around Katsuya Kitamura possibly being a big future star for New Japan? RIP.

Damn shame too. Nakamura deserved to have at least one run.

His lack of English is a factor.

They put the belt on fucking Khali for 2 months.

And if Nakamura becomes the size of Khali or Yokozuna I'll change my opinion.

..fwiw yokozuna presumably spoke perfect english

Makes sense given he was Samoan born in the US.

What better foreign heel than one who doesn't speak English,. just dominates. They absolutely could have had him as a no nonsense dude that does that and doesn't speak

AEW has been crap lately but I just caught up on Dynamite from Tuesday and holy fucking hell at MJF's promo. Probably the best wrestling promo I have ever heard in my life. Jesus Christ.

My body is ready for more Bobby/Brock. I was really into their Rumble match and wanted to see more. Should be better with no belt on the line this time.

Updated Crown Jewel card
Roman Reigns vs Logan Paul for the Undisputed WWE Universal title
Lesnar vs Lashley
McIntyre vs Kross in a cage match
Belair vs Bayley in a Last Woman Standing match
Judgment Day vs The OC
Usos vs Holland and Butch for the Undisputed Tag titles
Strowman vs Omos

Doubt anything else gets added, unless they decide to put Rollins in at the last minute somewhere

Sounds like the best Saudi card they've done

I will give HHH this: WWE cards since he took over have only had 6-7 matches. Nothing seems to be there for filler/cold matches. Some get the death spot, but that's unavoidable when 3-4 matches all have decent build between them.

sorry for asking this

but is anyone else feeling. Ucey??

Absolucey

Ewww I don't like WWE peddling NFTs. Seems predatory given the average intelligence of most pro wrestling fans >_>

wwe hopping on nfts in late 2022 is the most on-brand thing I have ever heard

The sad thing is we can't blame this on Vince either.

He done blotted his copybook years ago and frankly ran outta room.

Convinced Jeff Jarrett will be in the wrestling business long after everyone else is gone
