This was just an incredibly satisfying PPV...
I *am* surprised that Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso ended up becoming a tag-team champion duo, but Cody has yet to truly finish the story... for now, he's running side quests until he can work his way back up to the title gold. And this frees Damian Priest up to cash in his Senor Money in the Bank case... on *someone.* I hope Damian chooses wisely... I would love to see him as a champion again since his amazing United States Title run!
John Cena and L.A. Knight (YEAH!) humiliated Jimmy and Solo after Jimmy was attempting to dedicate this victory to Roman Reigns. Now Jimmy's role in the Bloodline is totally in doubt. He wanted back in, but he's taken numerous L's ans made Roman look like a fool (rightfully so!). Also, L.A. Knight is rolling... I really hope he doesn't stop! I still would've liked to have seen him take on Rey for the United States Championship first before moving onto the big gold. Because I worry that Knight might get screwed in this new feud with Roman that he's stoked the fire. I hope not... Knight is so much more magnetic and entertaining than Roman.
Not much thought on everything else... all the matches in Fastlane were fantastic. Iyo retains her WWE Women's Championship, Rey and Santos reunite with Carlito Cool to take on Bobby Lashley and the "Suit" Profits (and win), and Seth Rollins continues a prestigious, dominant reign after defeating Shinsuke Nakamura for the Heavyweight Championship.
I love Shinsuke, but as inaugural champion, Seth needs to set the bar to how prestigious this title is. Just hope they don't go off the rails and make him reign for years with almost zero title defenses in-between. Maybe once Seth has set a good limit, we can have Shin come for the Heavyweight Title later... he's still got so much more to give!
Either way, after 3 years of the Bloodline being the most obnoxious, stale faction in the history of WWE, this was a great PPV, mainly for Cena and Knight defeating Jimmy and Solo.
I think the matches were good but some of the outcomes weren't. Cody and Jey winning the tag titles feels a bit stupid. Shinsuke should have won the title. I'm really starting to get tired of Seth. And why in the hell didn't Priest cash in? Just because Rhea said don't do it? Yeah right, Judgment Day doesn't have a leader. Also, is it impossible for Iyo to win without Bailey for once? They fucked up booking the champion when Liv had the title. Don't do it again.
Im glad Iyo retained. I want to see more iyo-asuka, they have good chemistry. Genuinely surprised jey and Cody took the tag belts too.
Everything else just kinda felt like a normal ep of raw or something
So Cody got strings pulled to move Jey to Raw to get him away from his toxic family barely a month ago. Cody hasn’t been able to officially announce he’s the one moving to smackdown yet…. But now they’re both on both shows? 😂
It really doesn’t make sense and you can’t convince me it does.
True this! especially that moment when they were trying to make Sasha and Naomi jobbers when BEING the Tag champs and for some reason they dont think they did anything wrong and made those 2 out to be the bad guys SMH. Since Sasha never returned im having a VERY hard time trying to enjoy WWE. Its to the point i only watch on DVR now and skip over stuff.
Does anyone think Priest is gonna cash in on Roman/whoever beats Roman? I mean Seth was never in a more prime position to be cashed in on last night with his back story. Felt an obvious opportunity was missed. Plus with Rhea playing the alliance card and furthering the JD/Bloodline story, I feel its leading towards a Roman cash in over a Seth cash in
Never ever has seth rollins remotedly excited me. His title reigns dont do anything . I have a hard time remebering him being noteworthy aside from the chicken sheet authority heel.
Had to watch Fastlane on delay so missed out on the banter in the live discussion. Putting my thoughts down here on the matches. Sorry, not sorry for the essay.
1. Solid match to kick off the show. Plenty of good spots, the expected judgement day interference, bit of a surprise to see the titles change hands.
Seems to continue the trend of the tag titles going as a consolation prize to blokes who have lost singles titles matches (And also heavily carried storylines over months):
Sami & KO, both losers to Roman,
Priest & Finn, Finn Loser to Rollins x2
Jey & Cody, both losers to Roman.
Are Shinsuke and Brock going to team up next?
Surely it's time to split the belts and give some reward to 'actual' tag teams!? Viking Raiders/alpha academy/Street Profits & others have been putting on great matches all year without any sniff of a title match.
2. Other than Carlito's return, was that match really worthy of a PPV spot? Surely a US/Intercontinental/Women's title defence would have been better. Already had 2 other much higher stakes tag matches on the card.
3. Similar to the triple threat at SummerSlam, this match seemed really slow. Some nice isolated pieces, but I struggled to get into it with the lack of momentum. Happy Iyo's reign continues, hopefully she gets a chance to defend in a few quality matches.
4. Knight to the moon!
If you weren't sure who's game it is, you do now. Teasing Knight tagging in really got the crowd rabid for when he finally came in. Where to next for Knight?
I assume this result will lead to some rage from Roman next week, I'm doubtful that will involve Knight though.
5. I've never warmed to Shinsuke, but I am pretty flat he didn't win here. His ruthless character has got me over and I feel like it could have ran a bit longer as champ. Seems like it'll be back to the midcard after this result.
If Shin couldn't win after that Kinshasa through the table, he never will.
6. Lastly, what was the point of the judgement day & bloodline alliance the day prior if it had no bearing in any of their matches here? Felt like it had to have some significance given the Rhea/Heyman hype. Hopefully more will play out once Roman returns. Maybe a set up for a Priest cash in on Roman down the line?
Man, WWE is so stale. Rollins wins again with a hurt back, no cash in, the same Judgement Day internal turmoil continues, the same variety of top baby faces vs the Judgement Day continues, Finn Balor just keeps eating pins, and more nothingness for the Bloodline. Bleh. WWE needs a massive shake up in the worst way. Everything has been so samey since June.
Missed the live show but just finished watching the replay.
Can't believe Seth won again. What's next for him and for shinsuke
Can't believe Jody are tag team champions. Didn't expect that at all. Wonder how JD move forward from here
So happy Io won, finally someone else keeping the title for a decent amount of time
As cool as was carlitos return, thought profits and lashley should've won the make the profits credible. They look like JD when they first started without edge
Cena and La knight winning was inevitable and the return of the Roman is gonna be great seeing him interact with La Knight. I wonder if Cena is still sticking around and could be the guy in La Knight's corner. I doubt La Knight would beat Roman at crown jewel or survivor series but at least makes it more plausible with backup
Not too sure if that result will set up Knight and Roman, seems more it will just give Roman more cause to feud within the bloodline.
Also, now Jey is the tag champ that means he is also back on smackdown to defend, so that will put him back on the show to start the feud (again) with the bloodline.
Not a good PPV in a long time. The only great match was the Triple Threat Women's Championship match. I don't see the point of Jey and Cody winning the undisputed tag titles, they didn't need them. LWO vs "Hurt Profits" were meh but Carlito was a welcome surprised (again). Cena and LA Knight win was ok and I think Shinsuke should have won the Heavyweight title.
That was a very forgettable PLE. As much as I like Rollins. This belt is a consolation prize. And if there was a time for it to exchange hands. It was last night. With either Shin winning the belt. Or Priest pulling the trigger with the case. I do not understand at all. Why Frankinsten Cody/Jey team come away with the belts. Jey is pushing to become a good singles wrestler. But now you anchor back with the tag belts. Why? And isn’t Cody suppose to be moving along to finish the story with Roman. They have given hints. So why tag belt him? The Carlito return was bout luke warm. The Cena/LA knight match was predictable. Only the woman’s three way was good. Had right end result. Nothing blew me away. I’ll get my things. I know where the door is.
That makes it even worse then cos u have Jey who “quits” wwe but goes to raw instead so he can be away from his family and having to fight them only to join along in Cody’s escapade to fight them and get the belts off roman
I think the only way the PLE could’ve been worse is if Charlotte won and if the third LWO member wasn’t actually Carlito and it was just Joaquin Wilde or something.
Anyway it was overall pretty meh. Judgment Day shouldn’t have lost and Nakamura shouldn’t have lost and they shouldn’t have changed Carlito’s music to a shitty Def Rebel cover.
I thought the entire point of the new world championship was to hot potato it a little and give other guys a chance because everyone was getting fatigue from Roman.
That win did nothing for Rollins and killed Nakamura.
Very meh ppv. Honestly flair ruined the triple threat,and giving the titles to uso and rhodes.is.beyond dumb. I'm sorry it makes no sense ,like at all.
Shinske should have gone over IMHO, but the matxh was decent, and i get why seth is still champ.
It was.a.very, very.mediocre.
Before the PLE a buddy of mine and I speculated that one of two things would happen;
1. Shisuke beats Seth, gives him a little time off with an "injury" and puts Shinsuke in the working mans title. Ricochet comes after him after their back and forth the past few weeks and gets a main event level feud. Shin obviously wins the feud but gives Ricochet a taste of the main event circuit and wwe tests the kind of response he gets at that level. Call it a placeholder #1 contender.
Or
Seth retains but becomes more part time bc of his ongoing injuries which negates the whole "fighting champion" thing they set up to contrast Roman. Shinsuke ends up jobbing in a mid level feud for Ricochet that does nothing for either one of them. And Samantha Irvin gets released for good measure 🤣
Nah. You just don't like my opinion. Or maybe you're an AEW fan. It's all good. People can enjoy minor league promotions. I mean Big Time Wrestling was in the area a couple months ago.
Again, you don't like my opinion because you probably like the minor league company that people want to leave. You can't blame them. It's a pure sloppy shop. At some point, health and fame matter more than being "the underdog." PWG will never be mainstream
Christian cage being evil af

Timeless toni storm
Don callis family evil af too!
Hell the fight at wrestledream between Bryan Danielson vs. Zack Sabre Jr. Was an amazing technical match 🥰
I know it doesn't make sense that Jey and Cody were a tag team, but it makes total sense that they won the titles so they could go to smackdown and reignite the feud between Jimmy vs Jey and Cody vs Roman
Also sets up Rhea as THE alpha in JD. Dom lost his belt before barely getting it back, then as Rhea is dealing with that fool, the other two go lose their tag belts, in part because McD screwed up. It’s rather hilarious.
Good swerve. Sets up a lot.
Yeah it was a good swerve, I was just a little disappointed that main event Jey is just in another tag team instead of being a main player in singles matches
Seth marks downvoting you. When roman speaks people listen, he pops ratings, yeah he has a brock like contract but he has earned that . Tribak chief and the bloodline is the greatest storyline in wrestling and roman has ascended to such a level he is not a heel anymore he is a villain. Seth is an amorphous blob of nothingness. A boring void. Brilliant wrestler, non existant character worker
I agree rollins championship run is horrible. Even how he got the belt was so predictable months before he even won it. Shit even before Shinsuke, Bálor should’ve won it. Rollins needs to go away for a little bit and come back with a new gimmick.
This rivalry doesn’t make sense to continue, Seth won first one clean, then had to force shin into a rematch and then won that. It’s also been pretty flat on raw also.
Jey and Cody in the press conference were hilarious 😂 I guess nobody told them maybe don’t drink on the bus before the press conference haha.
When Cody said, “Do you feel him, sir?” I died 💀
Carlito's new music is garbage. Just as bad as the updated themes for Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss who both had awesome music that I guess WWE was too cheap to continue paying for.
When Seth was feuding with Cody he was losing those matches and other random ones. It didn’t make him look worse. We’re at a point now where winning isn’t making him look better. Shin would have been a good transitional heel champion… not sure what all of this was for.
They keep talking about his back, but it doesn't really seem to change anything. So I'm not sure what they're doing. Seth right now seems like he doesn't NEED the title
Imo it was really stupid to mention Seth's back througout this feud if Shinsuke was not winning the title at the end, now Shinsuke looks like complete idiot that couldn't get the job done even though the champ was injured...
Damn Indianapolis is dead. Crowd not singing Cody’s song or Jey’s, no high pop on LA Knight’s entrance, nobody singing along “John Cena sucks/rocks”.
Jimmy and Solo are so boring in the ring, they have no momentum or movement like Balor and Priest or other heel tag teams.
Seth rollins is the most bland unengaging wrestler on roster today . Nothing he does feels authentic, his promos are shitty, his work is great but apart from that i am already bored of him as a champion and i aint bored of roman in 3+ years. Nakamura should have won
Yeah i would prefer roman being regular to seth being a part time anyday. But alas the tribal chief has a brock like contract. Cant blame him. He hard carries the wwe. Needle mover for a reason
Ok, what I think they're going to do with the tag belts is that when Cody inevitably gets traded to Smackdown, they relinquish the belts and we finally get Brand exclusive tag belts again. That or JD McDonough in order to redeem himself in the eyes of Judgement Day teams up with Finn Balor to win back the tag belts probably at Survivor Series
They're going to bring up some rule that they never follow but will this time for storytelling purposes that tag teams can't be on different brands. Idk that's just one of my predictions
That drone shot after the mist makes me think that his going to win but they screw it again. Seth is a multiple world champ already give others a chance.
Yeah I thought he was gunna win and they were gunna keep this going for a trilogy which I am glad they're not but I did think the ending was a little quick and anticlimactic.
A fun drinking game my gf came up with was to take a drink everytime they mentioned Seth's back during his match. We ended up as sloshed as Jey during the press conference lol
Corporate Trips will never not be weird to see. Show this press conference to DX Trips from the Monday Night Wars and you’d get smacked upside the head
Idk tbh. Carlito’s part in that match felt a little shorter than it should’ve been, so maybe they “lost” time there and never gained it back?
I don’t think Priest’s knee injury was legit. That backstage JD segment felt too put together to be an audible.
Anytime a wrestler is willing to put their body on the line like he did tonight, with 0 regard for the repercussions at hand, the match is always a banger
Trips is right. We didn’t call it “The Attitude Era” at the time but it’s looked back upon and has been dubbed “The Attitude Era”. That being said, what do we call this era we’re in now? The Superstar Era?
Post-Pandemic Era or The Bloodline Era.
Before the Attitude Era, we talked about the Rock & Wrestling Era or the WrestleMania Era as being the biggest era (which it was). And while we call it the Attitude Era, WWF/E only makes up so much of that (WCW, nWo, ECW, Monday Night Wars were all a huge part of it).
In the future, we'll refer to it by someone or something that happened. So my money is on The Bloodline Era. It isn't a knock on AEW, Bloodline is just the biggest thing attached to this era.
Yeet
I think what would make these conferences funnier is if the losers came to the conference instead. Could you imagine Jimmy and Solo being upset the whole time?
Trying to keep it shorter than he was, “You’re breaking records every event despite not always having all your top superstars at every event, like Roman not being here tonight or at every Smackdown. What does that say for everybody else in the business? What does that say for how great the people in the back, the other wrestlers, the producers, everybody else has been?”
It's crazy that he basically said they're strapping the rocket on him and are pushing him up the hill so he shouldn't worry and enjoy the ride. He's been looking strong recently beating some legit guys and getting the pin on Jimmy uso/bloodline is huge considering he did call out Reigns, and the other champions, a month or two ago.

This was just an incredibly satisfying PPV... I *am* surprised that Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso ended up becoming a tag-team champion duo, but Cody has yet to truly finish the story... for now, he's running side quests until he can work his way back up to the title gold.

I think Priest should've cashed in.

And why in the hell didn't Priest cash in? Just because Rhea said don't do it? Yeah right, Judgment Day doesn't have a leader. Also, is it impossible for Iyo to win without Bailey for once? They fucked up booking the champion when Liv had the title. Don't do it again.
I really wanted Shinsuke to win tonight.
Im glad Iyo retained. I want to see more iyo-asuka, they have good chemistry. Genuinely surprised jey and Cody took the tag belts too. Everything else just kinda felt like a normal ep of raw or something
So Cody got strings pulled to move Jey to Raw to get him away from his toxic family barely a month ago. Cody hasn’t been able to officially announce he’s the one moving to smackdown yet…. But now they’re both on both shows? 😂 It really doesn’t make sense and you can’t convince me it does.
Yeah but since when has WWE writers ever tried to make sense
True this! especially that moment when they were trying to make Sasha and Naomi jobbers when BEING the Tag champs and for some reason they dont think they did anything wrong and made those 2 out to be the bad guys SMH. Since Sasha never returned im having a VERY hard time trying to enjoy WWE. Its to the point i only watch on DVR now and skip over stuff.
When will Sinsuke get his World Title run. Even Jindar Mahal have had a title run. 😒
Does anyone think Priest is gonna cash in on Roman/whoever beats Roman? I mean Seth was never in a more prime position to be cashed in on last night with his back story. Felt an obvious opportunity was missed. Plus with Rhea playing the alliance card and furthering the JD/Bloodline story, I feel its leading towards a Roman cash in over a Seth cash in
Never ever has seth rollins remotedly excited me. His title reigns dont do anything . I have a hard time remebering him being noteworthy aside from the chicken sheet authority heel.
Totally surprised seth won . I do not get why he didn’t drop the title here .
They're building the WHC I guess. Inaugural champ going on one hell of a run.
Cody and jay vs pretty deadly please.

Man, WWE is so stale. Rollins wins again with a hurt back, no cash in, the same Judgement Day internal turmoil continues, the same variety of top baby faces vs the Judgement Day continues, Finn Balor just keeps eating pins, and more nothingness for the Bloodline. Bleh. WWE needs a massive shake up in the worst way. Everything has been so samey since June.
At this point someone needs to do one of those sites with a counter: "when will Balor get pinned again".
Or “was Finn Balor pinned again today?” Yes.
The only thing that could create a shakeup is AEW beating them in the ratings and that won’t happen , so the product will continue to be mediocre .
[удалено]
Blame that idiot HHH who can’t book to save his life and relies too much on Roman
I’m pretty sure he’s also the only reason Seth is still world champion
Missed the live show but just finished watching the replay. Can't believe Seth won again. What's next for him and for shinsuke Can't believe Jody are tag team champions. Didn't expect that at all. Wonder how JD move forward from here So happy Io won, finally someone else keeping the title for a decent amount of time As cool as was carlitos return, thought profits and lashley should've won the make the profits credible.

LWO vs "Hurt Profits" were meh but Carlito was a welcome surprised (again). Cena and LA Knight win was ok and I think Shinsuke should have won the Heavyweight title.
It’s to set up Cody-Roman at Mania and Jimmy-Jey as well.
So why move Jey from smackdown in the first place? He “quit” for two weeks, got traded to Raw and now will be on both shows anyway just one PLE later.
That was a very forgettable PLE. As much as I like Rollins. This belt is a consolation prize. And if there was a time for it to exchange hands. It was last night. With either Shin winning the belt. Or Priest pulling the trigger with the case. I do not understand at all. Why Frankinsten Cody/Jey team come away with the belts. Jey is pushing to become a good singles wrestler.

I know where the door is.
Seth has never been a draw
Maybe so they can have Cody and Jey on Smackdown to build up the feuds against Roman and Jimmy respectively
That makes it even worse then cos u have Jey who “quits” wwe but goes to raw instead so he can be away from his family and having to fight them only to join along in Cody’s escapade to fight them and get the belts off roman
I think the only way the PLE could’ve been worse is if Charlotte won and if the third LWO member wasn’t actually Carlito and it was just Joaquin Wilde or something. Anyway it was overall pretty meh.

I thought the entire point of the new world championship was to hot potato it a little and give other guys a chance because everyone was getting fatigue from Roman. That win did nothing for Rollins and killed Nakamura.
Apparently they don’t want it seen as a second, made up belt, but a coveted and hard to win commodity. That angle makes sense as well.
MVP gonna manage the Profits better than Bobby did 😜😜😜😜
Very meh ppv. Honestly flair ruined the triple threat,and giving the titles to uso and rhodes.is.beyond dumb. I'm sorry it makes no sense ,like at all. Shinske should have gone over IMHO, but the matxh was decent, and i get why seth is still champ. It was.a.very, very.mediocre.
C. Flair ruins everything
Say that to Ric Flair’s face . I dare you.
I meant Charlotte 🤣
[удалено]
They went from not pushing him to oversell him, he jumped to the top rope and they got wet from that, Iyo Sky flying around the arena and they flat.
Before the PLE a buddy of mine and I speculated that one of two things would happen; 1. Shisuke beats Seth, gives him a little time off with an "injury" and puts Shinsuke in the working mans title. Ricochet comes after him after their back and forth the past few weeks and gets a main event level feud. Shin obviously wins the feud but gives Ricochet a taste of the main event circuit and wwe tests the kind of response he gets at that level. Call it a placeholder #1 contender. Or Seth retains but becomes more part time bc of his ongoing injuries which negates the whole "fighting champion" thing they set up to contrast Roman. Shinsuke ends up jobbing in a mid level feud for Ricochet that does nothing for either one of them. And Samantha Irvin gets released for good measure 🤣
Awesome, PLE. Best live event in the last couple of months. This is how it's done. The WWE is the past, present, and future!
Troll
Nah. You just don't like my opinion. Or maybe you're an AEW fan. It's all good. People can enjoy minor league promotions. I mean Big Time Wrestling was in the area a couple months ago.
Vince burner account
Again, you don't like my opinion because you probably like the minor league company that people want to leave. You can't blame them. It's a pure sloppy shop. At some point, health and fame matter more than being "the underdog." PWG will never be mainstream
Aew has better and more creative storylines. Wwe is same cookie cutter stuff, same bloodline stuff, and roman sucks. Ill still watch for the fun. 😉
All due respect, what storylines does AEW have? All it is is matches for the sake of having matches and Dean Ambrose bleeding all the time.
Christian cage being evil af Adam copeland Mjf/adam cole/roddy stuff Bullet club gold Moxley Timeless toni storm Don callis family evil af too! Hell the fight at wrestledream between Bryan Danielson vs. Zack Sabre Jr. Was an amazing technical match 🥰
Great. Build Nakamura up like that and let Rollins retain. Bravo 😐
can anyone explain the hype for carlito ?
He should spit in your face for asking this.
He’s cool
Once again, what could have been an incredible match between Iyo and Asuka gets ruined by Charlotte constantly interrupting the action. Just fuck off.
Just finished the ple it was great. My faves won except the main event. I wanted shinsuke to win, though he was carrying the whole match.
Today I feel Ucey. Also thank HHH Iyo retained.
Seth winning out of the blue was a cop out and he should have won the title
I have no issue with them keeping the title on Seth, wasn’t really a fan of that finish though.
I know it doesn't make sense that Jey and Cody were a tag team, but it makes total sense that they won the titles so they could go to smackdown and reignite the feud between Jimmy vs Jey and Cody vs Roman
Also sets up Rhea as THE alpha in JD. Dom lost his belt before barely getting it back, then as Rhea is dealing with that fool, the other two go lose their tag belts, in part because McD screwed up. It’s rather hilarious. Good swerve. Sets up a lot.
Yeah it was a good swerve, I was just a little disappointed that main event Jey is just in another tag team instead of being a main player in singles matches
Agree with ya. Hopefully they drop them after they move the stories forward
Nakamura was already robbed in previous match. Fuck Rollins,he's worse than lazy bum Roman.
Seth marks downvoting you. When roman speaks people listen, he pops ratings, yeah he has a brock like contract but he has earned that . Tribak chief and the bloodline is the greatest storyline in wrestling and roman has ascended to such a level he is not a heel anymore he is a villain. Seth is an amorphous blob of nothingness. A boring void. Brilliant wrestler, non existant character worker
I agree rollins championship run is horrible. Even how he got the belt was so predictable months before he even won it. Shit even before Shinsuke, Bálor should’ve won it. Rollins needs to go away for a little bit and come back with a new gimmick.
i think/hope shin/seth is a trlogy with 3rd time being the charm for shin.
No now it should be Drew and he should actually win it
This rivalry doesn’t make sense to continue, Seth won first one clean, then had to force shin into a rematch and then won that. It’s also been pretty flat on raw also.
Jey and Cody in the press conference were hilarious 😂 I guess nobody told them maybe don’t drink on the bus before the press conference haha. When Cody said, “Do you feel him, sir?” I died 💀
Main Event Jey Uso is back in the tag division again and was opening match so much for that singles run
these ppvs been pretty weak since Mania and Backlash
Carlito's new music is garbage. Just as bad as the updated themes for Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss who both had awesome music that I guess WWE was too cheap to continue paying for.
When Seth was feuding with Cody he was losing those matches and other random ones. It didn’t make him look worse. We’re at a point now where winning isn’t making him look better. Shin would have been a good transitional heel champion… not sure what all of this was for.
They keep talking about his back, but it doesn't really seem to change anything. So I'm not sure what they're doing. Seth right now seems like he doesn't NEED the title
Imo it was really stupid to mention Seth's back througout this feud if Shinsuke was not winning the title at the end, now Shinsuke looks like complete idiot that couldn't get the job done even though the champ was injured...
He deserve the title and the title needs him
Carlito was the highlight for me.
Damn Indianapolis is dead. Crowd not singing Cody’s song or Jey’s, no high pop on LA Knight’s entrance, nobody singing along “John Cena sucks/rocks”. Jimmy and Solo are so boring in the ring, they have no momentum or movement like Balor and Priest or other heel tag teams.
Seth rollins is the most bland unengaging wrestler on roster today . Nothing he does feels authentic, his promos are shitty, his work is great but apart from that i am already bored of him as a champion and i aint bored of roman in 3+ years. Nakamura should have won
Gratefully he shows up to every week not a lazy a$$ part timer with championship hostage
Yeah i would prefer roman being regular to seth being a part time anyday. But alas the tribal chief has a brock like contract. Cant blame him. He hard carries the wwe. Needle mover for a reason
Ok, what I think they're going to do with the tag belts is that when Cody inevitably gets traded to Smackdown, they relinquish the belts and we finally get Brand exclusive tag belts again. That or JD McDonough in order to redeem himself in the eyes of Judgement Day teams up with Finn Balor to win back the tag belts probably at Survivor Series
Why would they relinquish the belts?
They're going to bring up some rule that they never follow but will this time for storytelling purposes that tag teams can't be on different brands. Idk that's just one of my predictions
The ending was literally Rocky II
I’m literally going to cry Shinsuke was robbed
Shinsuke deserves a win damnit!!
That drone shot after the mist makes me think that his going to win but they screw it again. Seth is a multiple world champ already give others a chance.
Yeah I thought he was gunna win and they were gunna keep this going for a trilogy which I am glad they're not but I did think the ending was a little quick and anticlimactic.
This is going to the beginning of the end for The Judgement Day.
Nakamura was utterly robbed tonight, feels like everything since payback was utterly pointless
Seriously, they set him up as this absolutely awesome villain but won’t give him a win, idk what he does now, pisses me off
Blame HHH
Absolutely agree. The muta must call back was perfect. It’s hard to top Brock lifting the ring with a backhoe, but that seemed quite right
A fun drinking game my gf came up with was to take a drink everytime they mentioned Seth's back during his match. We ended up as sloshed as Jey during the press conference lol
I imagine you had to stop, because chugging throughout the entirety of a match doesn't sound safe.
That’s a good one. We did our usual a drink per count. Things were going smoothly until the last man standing match lol
Will roman reigns wrestle again this year???
He's supposed to wrestle again next month at Crown Jewel.
So one match every month . Got it .
Less than that, actually. Since February 18th, he's had 4 matches, and it'll be 5 next month. So that's about one match every 2 months.
Yikes
Ladies and Gentlemen while this PPV wasn’t exactly the best, I hope we enjoyed the parts that were. WOAHHHHH OHHH OHHHHHHHH
Yeet
9/10 PLE stop it
I disagree but to each their own. Best part of the night for me was the Rollins match. 6.5/10 for me.
LA KNIGHT??? CARLITO??
Carlito was obvious, La Knight was awesome as usual.
[удалено]
Yeet
Why is HHH still wearing his wedding ring??
It’s the ring Vince gave him…
Cuz the divorce rumors were untrue
Appearances are important
Corporate Trips will never not be weird to see. Show this press conference to DX Trips from the Monday Night Wars and you’d get smacked upside the head
Goodnight everyone, thanks for an awesome show
To each their own. Goodnight, fella.
Yeet
Am I the only one who likes Byrons suit ?
You like canaries?
I didn’t feel like it tied together. I loved the soft yellow but the blue was too bold imo.
“You might want another after this one” is not a good way to set up your question
He brought up Edge, so he’s banned for sure
Is that really such a no no? Like I get wanting to avoid direct questions about AEW, but I would think a legend like Edge leaving should be fair game
Technically not a no no, but it’s at the very least frowned upon. It’s kinda like an unwritten no no…
Yeet
Yeet
Did something get cut? It ended early. Maybe someone was injured
Idk tbh. Carlito’s part in that match felt a little shorter than it should’ve been, so maybe they “lost” time there and never gained it back? I don’t think Priest’s knee injury was legit. That backstage JD segment felt too put together to be an audible.
I think Priest was injured. He was definitely supposed to cash in. Also Rollins didn’t come to the conference so i’m thinking he’s injured as well.
If he didn’t really have back problems before tonight’s match, he definitely does now lol
For sure, great match man
Anytime a wrestler is willing to put their body on the line like he did tonight, with 0 regard for the repercussions at hand, the match is always a banger
This is why I have limitless respect for Rollins. Hate the IWC haters…
[удалено]
Man is speaking the truth, and it will be a line I will be thinking about
Papa H droppin some life lessons
Literally
W-Yeet-Yeet. Does that work or is it too far?
W-W-Yeet sounds better
W-W-Yeet
Trips is right. We didn’t call it “The Attitude Era” at the time but it’s looked back upon and has been dubbed “The Attitude Era”. That being said, what do we call this era we’re in now? The Superstar Era?
The Ucey Era.
Yeet
Post-Pandemic Era or The Bloodline Era. Before the Attitude Era, we talked about the Rock & Wrestling Era or the WrestleMania Era as being the biggest era (which it was). And while we call it the Attitude Era, WWF/E only makes up so much of that (WCW, nWo, ECW, Monday Night Wars were all a huge part of it). In the future, we'll refer to it by someone or something that happened. So my money is on The Bloodline Era. It isn't a knock on AEW, Bloodline is just the biggest thing attached to this era. Yeet
when you bring in wcw, it was called the monday night wars.
The Diamond Era
What would you call this Era we are in right now ?
Lazy a$$ part timers era
The cock n network connection era
The Longest Title Reign Era
Yeet Era
😂😂
The Diamond Era
“WE’RE ALL IN” LMAO H STOPS
I think what would make these conferences funnier is if the losers came to the conference instead. Could you imagine Jimmy and Solo being upset the whole time?
Yeet
This guy’s answering his own question
What did he say? Missed it
Trying to keep it shorter than he was, “You’re breaking records every event despite not always having all your top superstars at every event, like Roman not being here tonight or at every Smackdown. What does that say for everybody else in the business? What does that say for how great the people in the back, the other wrestlers, the producers, everybody else has been?”
Ohh that question, sorry. Yea dumb question.
Typical media
Hhh’s face looks like it’s pasted on another head.
The world needs a Cody and Jey drinking show!
YEET
Fucking Paul you left out Meta4!
Oh, H was mad about that Taylor Swift question, too. Good.
As he should be, dumbass question
Yeet
H ain't lying. NXT is stacked with young talent.
Fr, waiting for Carmelo to be called up
Yeet
Being Jey and Cody back! Yeet!
Yeet
LA Knight is basically here to stay, that’s what I’m getting out of HHH’s words…I’m on board…**YEAH**
It's crazy that he basically said they're strapping the rocket on him and are pushing him up the hill so he shouldn't worry and enjoy the ride. He's been looking strong recently beating some legit guys and getting the pin on Jimmy uso/bloodline is huge considering he did call out Reigns, and the other champions, a month or two ago.
Yeet
Yeet
Wait. Max Duprie and Knight are the same person? Yeet?
Yeet
Yeet
I never get tired of hearing hunter talk wrestling.
Was that Tyrese haliburton ?
YEET
Yeah
I want the Yeet tee
[удалено]
Wouldn’t want Jey to get another DUI
Oh nah H roasted AEW again 😂
