September 5, 20205 yr comment_5927686 Roman gets to murder family in his first PPV defense, seems interesting.
September 5, 20205 yr comment_5927690 Thought this deserved its own thread... Shit just got real! Politician Andrew Yang goes after WWE. Actress Lea Thompson responds.

(of course he won't) Conrad Thompson pretty much confirmed that in a tweet shortly before Smackdown; this doesn't affect Something to Wrestle in any whatsoever

Really hoping the feud is as good If I'm being nitpicky, while the Bayley-Banks beatdown was excellent, man, this one went too long to my taste. I would've had Bayley destroy Sasha's knee and then go with the chair around the neck move and that would've been it. I don't know if they were trying to fill time or something but I truly think the segment would've been even better if it had been shortened.
September 5, 20205 yr comment_5927702 So Thunder Rosa mentioned she turned down a WWE tryout in September (she was in the middle of training for her MMA debut at the time), but noted they weren't interested in her as a wrestler but a referee. Adds another level of irony in her having a top notch match on Dynamite vs Serena Deeb (who got covid fired by WWE). 1 hour ago, SirEdger said: If I'm being nitpicky, while the Bayley-Banks beatdown was excellent, man, this one went too long to my taste.

It definitely had elements of a segment being padded out to fill time, but by the end it was awesome enough to cancel those parts out IMO. Overall SD was a pretty solid show, having a clear #1 like Roman back was what they needed to regain their focus. Him vs Jey is not only a match they haven't run a million times, it has the additional family intrigue angle that gives it a feel that has been largely missing in WWE main events.
September 5, 20205 yr comment_5927703 Kudos to WWE for doing something fresh with Jey Uso. It's totally out of left field but the story writes itself. And there's an easy promo for him to cut about being seen as only a tag wrestler but so were guys like Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Jeff Hardy and Edge once upon a time. All he needed was an opportunity to shine and all that It's definitely got me interested, far more than I would be in seeing Roman against Wyatt or Braun yet again. It's not like it matters what they put on a show like this anyway really, and Jey can take a great shitkicking. I figure Roman is going to be a champ until at least Mania so no reason to burn through top challengers right away

When it comes to having the best fundamentals in the game, there might be some comparison... Duncan man doesn't need brass knux to to quiet your slander. He's got a ring on each finger for it. Respect the big man!
September 5, 20205 yr comment_5927713 Meltzer says that Lana promoting Bang Energy drinks on her IG account was the straw that broke the camel's back. She most likely has SAG membership from her movie roles. WWE might actually be in trouble if they got involved.
September 5, 20205 yr comment_5927733 Lana denied Meltzer's report on Twitter just a few moments ago. Don't expect this to stand it has been said publicly and privately to me in various forms that top stars are plan to ignore it and one top star, in particular, has already threatened legal action.
September 5, 20205 yr comment_5927740 Lana also has a vested interest to keep the heat off herself too, considering she's signed one of those keep-away-from-AEW deals that seem to get you fired the moment the company gets annoyed about something you did.

I was watching Mike Rome's stream yesterday and basically, he said the only thing that changes is that they can't use WWE likeness to do so. Zelina Vega seemingly said the same thing about her stream too. So, at the end of the day, this might be passing as another one of Vince's "phases" or something.
