> [@ekedolphin](#): > > During the post-show, Drew McIntyre ranted about CM Punk and threw around a couple of referees and even RAW GM Adam Pearce, causing Wade Barrett to intervene and get him out of there before he cost himself his career. Adam Pearce announced on WWE’s Facebook channel that Punk and McIntyre have both been fined and that Drew has been suspended indefinitely for attacking officials. Which, I’m sure, means we’ll see him on Monday. ---

Ethan Page may not have any notable move sets, but he’s smarmy on the mic, and he has brilliant facial expressions. It’s like WWE delights in pointing out how successful the AEW expats are under their wing. ---

> [@ekedolphin](#): > > Everyone has surely seen it by now: John Cena announced that he’s retiring next year. Royal Rumble 2025, Elimination Chamber 2025, and then WrestleMania XLI, and that’s it. Wait, don’t tell me, let me guess: the next Rumble ends in a tie, HHH decides that the winner of Elimination Chamber gets the title shot, which, of course, is Cena, who wins the title in his final match and retires with one more world title than Flair, possibly with Charlotte shenanigans involved, but to paraphrase Bobby Heenan when Hogan turned heel, “But whose side is she on?” ---

It’s like WWE delights in pointing out how successful the AEW expats are under their wing. there’s about 8 people I’ve heard of that could do greater in WWE that’s being wasted by aew… ok, I liked the women’s mitb match and the main event … but I must be getting old because I’m somewhat tired of the "superhero wrestling " you know where one guy does 3 finishers on someone and they’re up in 45 seconds? I mean I’m not 12 and believes a DDT can only be done by Jake and absolutely kills someone but Cody did 3 finishing moves and then one or two more and still lost?

On RAW just now, Seth Rollins had a talk with Damien Priest in which he gave Priest his prop and vowed to keep his promise not to come after the title while he’s champion. But Priest said they can throw that gentleman’s agreement out the window - when he’s done with Gunther, if Rollins wants another shot, he can have it. ---

Retiring with a title doesn’t sound like Cena’s style, but he said yesterday that he expects to work 30-40 shows next year, so Wrestlemania might not necessarily be his last match. That being said, it’s way too early to predict Wrestlemania, but if Rock vs. Roman is going to main event Night 2, then Cody/Cena would make a good Night 1 main. ---

Actually, I’m hoping for Cena vs Rock. You Can’t See Me vs It Doesn’t Matter What You Think! The promo wars would worth it by themselves. ---

> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > Actually, I’m hoping for Cena vs Rock. You Can’t See Me vs It Doesn’t Matter What You Think! Once in a lifetime, best two out of three? 🙂 Roman vs. Rock is a big money match that has to happen, and their attempt to make it happen this year fell through since they underestimated how much the fans love Cody, so next year is the last best chance to do it, and since Roman’s almost certainly turning face and going to war with the Bloodline soon it’ll be the natural conclusion of that story arc. ---

Rhea Ripley came back after RAW’s main event, when Liv had Dominick in s compromising position. Liv ran for the hills. Rhea was all like _What the heck?_ to Dirty Dom, but we didn’t get far before the show ended. Actually, I think he’s resisted her relatively well. Rhea looked like she was still hobbling, though. ---

Happened last night on AEW Dynamite at the close of the show. They lowered Allin from the top of the dome to the front of the ring, a straight drop. That’s why I posted my comment. ---
