So, this is what they’re doing with the money they saved by cutting Sheamus and New Day.
I felt the life suck out of the arena when he appeared.
Meanwhile in Vegas, TNA’s Mahabali Shera has defeated the forrmer Jack Swagger in a (checks notes) professional slap-fight.
Adam Pearce just announced that over the next two weeks, there will be five matches that will determine the competitors in a ladder match to determine the interim WWE Women’s Champion at SummerSlam. And when Rhea Ripley gets back from her torn meniscus, we’ll have a match to find out who the true Women’s Champion is.
Fatal Influence won the Women’s Tag Team Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Lyra Valkyria has a new entrance theme that’s slower and, I believe, in a minor key, representing her breakdown.
Raquel Rodriguez finally, finally won the Women’s Intercontinental Championship from Sol Ruca on RAW, her first singles title on the main roster.
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods posted an animated short called “Daybreak” on the cusp of their free agency.
The Motor City Machine Guns are All Elite.
Brock Lesnar says he’s retired.
Fuck! No sooner had Chelsea Green won the Interim Women’s Championship than she suffered a fractured orbital bone!
Grayson Waller can’t catch a break. It seemed like his return to NXT and C. M. Punkesque Pipe Bomb promo was going to elevate him to main event status, but then he gets paired with Santana/Montana, where he was pretty much guaranteed not to win, against WWE’s latest hot catch.
It was a brilliant match, which I thought was going to end with D’Angelo interfering, setting up a three-way down the road. D’ by the way, sounded totally lackadaisical on commentary. Now Waller gets insta-buried with Godzilla Fatu’s debut, and I can see why D’ was so blasé on the mic. He knew his spotlight was about to be stolen.
Last night at ROH Death Before Dishonor in the main event, Athena suffered an asthma attack during her match against Hazuki. She credits the ROH medical staff for their quick response.
Former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion and multi-time Best of the Super Juniors winner Hiromu Takahashi has skipped NXT and jumped right to Smackdown under the name Kyoki, where he is Shinsuke Nakamura’s new tag team partner in his war with MFT.
At AEW All In, Kofi and Austin Creed made their AEW debuts under the team name “The New Level”, teaming with Swerve Strickland to win the AEW Trios Title.
Will Ospreay won the World Title, Mercedes Moné won the Women’s Title, and Darby Allin won the TNT Title.
Anyone else having trouble pulling up tonight’s RAW on Netflix?
Pentagon Jr. has defeated his brother Fenix in the final of the luchador tournament, meaning he wins the right to lose to Roman Reigns at the upcoming show in Mexico City.
Next week on SmackDown from Mexico City, Chelsea Green defends the Women’s Title against Nia Jax, and the War Raiders defend the AAA Tag Team Championship against R-Truth and Damian Priest.
That SmackDown main event, in which CM Punk defended the WWE Title against Cleveland’s own Johnny Gargano, was fucking WILD.
And next week, Punk defends against Sami Zayn in Mexico City.
Andy “The Butcher” Williams, of AEW’s The Butcher and the Blade, has died at age 48 after collapsing during a match at an indy show.
At Saturday Sunday Night’s Main Event, Baron Corbin hit the End of Days twice on Lil’ Yachty and had him dead to rights, but his hubris in wanting to put him through a table led to him being crotched on the top rope and running out of time. Trick Williams then won the US Title back from him.
We saw the return of Bronson Reed, who hit four Tsunamis on Oba Femi.
Randy Orton beat Cody in the main event.
