Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Man, 500+ new posts and some really ominous tweets at the beginning really set a different tone than the "most of the people who took part in the lovely propaganda show are being mildly inconvenienced" conclusion we seem to have come to. I mean, obviously good that's all but this thread started in a different place.

Although it IS funny that Vince and the upper echelon left them behind and you're only inconvenienced if you're demonstrably worth less to WWE.

I feel like the answer is going to be somewhere in the middle. Like Vince got into an argument with some KSA official and they grounded the talents plane to teach him who's in charge.

It did tell us who the WWE feels is over versus who they don’t feel is worth it or over!

Thank you, Toronto!
I kind of want to watch Smackdown because if there is ever a night the John Morrison card gets played this would be it.

But I also don’t want to torture myself.

Vince and MBS had a negotiation and it went pretty much like this:

A rumor I've heard is that KSA is witholding money for the last KSA show.

Like, of course, Vince will put up with everything else, but if you're late with his money, gently caress off.

Aiden finally returns? Haven't seen him on Smackdown since he did his Lana cuck angle.

Cole and Graves might not be stranded. The plane with the 20 people who got off was too late to make it to the start of the show.

Probably with everyone returning home, jetlagged but put right back on the road, a "thank you" tweet to Saudi Arabia for all the help and a "meh" smackdown where they make a cheeky joke or two and then "NEVER BEFORE SEEN NXT VS SMACKDOWN MATCHES"

“A chartered WWE passenger flight operated by Atlas Air is currently delayed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia due to a mechanical issue. The flight was scheduled to depart at 0300 local time on November 1. Our top priority is always to ensure our passengers arrive safely and on time at their destination. The aircraft is being repaired and will be inspected and certified before returning to service to transport our passengers to their final destination. We regret that operational disruptions delayed the flight and apologize to our passengers who were inconvenienced.”

Vince is a genius. Leaves the Smackdown roster behind, and Smackdown fills it with NXT and is currently putting on the WWE TV Show of the Year according to what I’m hearing.

All is forgiven for Blood Money clearly. Hail Satan.

This is the best Smackdown since the move to Fox, I expected AEW to push them to turn up but they haven’t until now and it’s frustrating.

If Danielson ends up NXT champ then i’m watching NXT live every Wednesday.
