So FTR showed back up on Collision last night and Cash looks like he has gained 25 lbs of pure muscle in what, six weeks or so? I think he’s been working out with AJ Styles.
Haha that reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when he gets piles of royalty checks for a quarter.
I hope we don't begin seeing wrestlers falling over dead from heart attacks again since we've all decided it's normal to be in your 40s and be double the size you were in your 30s. Sure, Styles now looks like a greek god. He also looks like he's about to pop.
It’s the Super Terrific Happy Hour! Have an orange, which is rare there
Speaking of AEW, is Dallas replacing London? Sure, Jerry World is shown below but I can't imagine AEW trying to do All In there. I like the confidence and many AEW fans will flock to wherever their version of WrestleMania is held, but that seems mighty ambitious when their weekly shows here in the states are drawing 2,000 - 5,000. Of course there's other places around Dallas which are smaller that might have Khan's attention.
At one point I had read they were potentially looking to move Double Or Nothing out of Las Vegas next year.
Maybe a "Texas Hold 'Em" kind of thing.
Of course I could be wrong.
Anyway Raw for tonight
WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest and GUNTHER face to face.
WWE Intercontinental Championship: Sami Zayn vs. Ilja Dragunov
Drew McIntyre returns.
Rhea Ripley to open Raw.
Sheamus vs. Bronson Reed.

I only watched the Liv and Rhea stuff at the beginning. I think the reruns come up on Hulu first but that may have changed with Peacock. Honestly no idea
Somebody call Matt Jones in Europe and ask him what the hell the local company he bought into is doing.
lol my Facebook memory for today is just ‘CM PUNK CM PUNK CM PUNK!’
I don’t know why I thought this match was in 2012. Cena and Punk didn’t have a huge match in 2012 where he won and then left the company with the belt, right?
A 600 seat arena seems a bit hi. Davis Arena is TINY. It’s just a room in an industrial park
I still wish they extended that CM Punk leaving with the belt storyline. Would’ve been cool if they let Punk wrestle at a few independent shows and had Cena chasing him.
Not a better guy in wrestling than Big E. And The New Day has fallen off a cliff since he left (of course they should have disbanded the group five plus years ago).
Yup that’s what I figured too but guess they can still do the rematch at wembley?
Great match obviously, but:
- you can do a memorable 25-35 minute match. When you go an hour then both guys are kicking out of everything. Gets stale after a while. Just being honest. It was SuperMJF and SuperWill until a large ring was used.
- Ospreay being conflicted about the Tiger Driver would make sense if Danielson was still injured but he's not. He continues to not only wrestle but he's the number one contender. It's an in-ring story but it doesn't make sense if Danielson took it and is not only fine but succeeding now more than ever. Would be like Orton injuring KO with the RKO and he's not using the RKO anymore even though KO is now number one contender and in a different feud/story.
These two will have other matches but tonight in front of 2,000 fans in a pitch black arena with lots of picture in picture breaks probably shouldn't have happened. Do your epic hour long match at Wembley and you've still got three more hours to work with. Large crowd that's way more into it at a major event, and with an hour gone, the total number of matches would be like 7 or 8.

100% agree I figured it’d be 30 minute match too - didn’t need to be a 59 minute match.
