Becky going New Jack mode cracked me up

This Dar/Butch match is at New Japan levels of making the ref look like an incompetent doofus

Good to see Trick getting big wins, if they aren't going to keep him with Melo I didn't want to see him get Jannetty'd.

Baron/Bron was a fun opener, it's still amazing to me that Gable Steveson was so repellant to the NXT audience that it turned Corbin babyface.

Tiffy Time in the main event as nature intended, you love to see it

Also, what? Did I miss something?

I hope Kelani Jordan doesn't get derailed by Dana Brooke getting endeavored. They seemed to be building to something with those two and now Jordan got left hanging in the breeze.

Smackdown was great, and you love to see Main Event L...A.... KNIGHT, YEAH

Fightful also mentioned there's a ton of heat on Knox, since as folks mentioned here this isn't the first time he was in a situation where someone got hurt and he did jack shit about it.

I wasn't expecting MJF vs Switchblade, but I'm here for it

I love that Don Callis is apparently only recruiting handsome men to be in his Family

So I'm guessing Fenix winning the International title was a shoot, since Fightful said the plan for Mox was to have someone come out and challenge him

iirc Rey filed a copyright for "Principe Mysterio" for Dom to use, at the time people assumed it would be if he dons a mask at some point, but I wonder if he did it just in case he ever leaves WWE.

Love a good show ending crazy brawl, Raw was good stuff this week

I never thought I'd hear Michael Cole namedrop Bestia del Ring, but here we are

Seth dropping a (mostly) serious promo just makes it that much more irritating he keeps relying so heavily on the silly stuff

Popped for Wade dropping a "big meaty men slapping meat" before Otis/Bronson

lol RVD doing the Taz pose after his match with Hook was great

This is true, but CMLL has (allegedly) not been paying him still, even though business is pretty much back to pre pandemic levels

The whole story is in the spoiler tag for length, but the tl;dr is KeMonito has wanted to retire for a while and was convinced by CMLL to keep sticking around until the pandemic hit and they left him high and dry. CMLL cheaping out on paying their talent is fairly common, but he was such a well known icon it's a little surprising they did it to him. I suppose CMLL just believes they can stick someone else in the monkey suit and no one would notice, but KeMonito was small even by mini standards and anyone else in the suit would be immediately noticeable by anyone even slightly paying attention.

Using the women's tag title curse as a way to add Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn back into the mix was some brilliant stuff.

Truly the pro wrestling version of Ether

It's a trade off really. He could break the bank making a deal with Amazon, but WWE would lose a lot of eyeballs going from cable TV to streaming. Even with cord cutting rising every year, USA Network is in more homes than any streaming service.

The full black and white entrance for Toni Storm is just amazing

So I guess the Becky-Tiff extreme rules match is going to be Becky's "Mick Foley putting over Triple H" moment.
