I'm not a scoopsman but even I can tell you they're obviously setting up a rematch at Brooklyn.

The timeline of her recuperation started when the episode aired and not from when the show was taped.

Meltzer & PWInsider reported it was real. Marks.

Kurt's not there, Miz and Dean are joint GMs tonight

Balor defeated The Miz via pinfall. During the match Maryse got on the apron and accidentally got knocked off by Balor. Miz got on the mic and said as acting GM, the referee was required to DQ Balor. Ambrose came out and said the DQ has been overturned and the match was being restarted. Ambrose then had Maryse banned from ringside. Balor hit the Coup De Grace for the pinfall.

It's uh, going to be A Night

Current spoilers for Raw.

- Dean Ambrose is first out for the Raw portion of the evening, quickly followed by Miz & Maryse. With Kurt Angle not present, Ambrose & Miz/Maryse are co-General Managers for the night. BRAUN STROWMAN is out with his arm in a sling. Strowman says he’s hurt, but he can still beat Kalisto with one-arm tied behind his back. Ambrose books a rematch between Strowman & Kalisto (with the Monster having one-arm tied behind his back, of course) and Finn Bálor vs. Miz which starts... right now!

- Miz def. Bálor by DQ when Maryse attacks her husband, but Ambrose is out to restart the match after banning Maryse from ringside.

- Bálor def. Miz via pinfall following a Coup de Grace

- Nia Jax approaches Alexa Bliss in the locker room to ask her why she didn’t run her down last week. She asks if the champ really meant that she’s great, and Alexa says of course. Nia figures that means she should get a title shot after Bayley’s rematch. Bliss says she doesn’t make matches, Angle does, but she’ll ask. Jax says Alexa has a new best friend until that match gets made, as she’s gonna watch the champ’s back to make sure she gets her shot.

- Alexa Bliss (with Nia Jax) def. Mickie James (who brings out Bayley as back-up). The champ tries to continue the beating on James after the bell, but Bayley chases her off. Nia comes in and punishes Mickie.

- Miz & Maryse approach Dean backstage. Ambrose says he’s booked most of the show, so they can take off. Miz wants to know when his Miz TV with “one of the guys from One Direction” goes on, and Dean says Raw is about more action, less talking tonight. Miz then says Dean’s been hiding out back here, so he books him in a match with Bray Wyatt for later tonight.

- Charly Caruso interviews Samoa Joe. She asks about his attack on Seth Rollins during last week’s main event. Joe says Seth tried to move on to a title shot before he was done with him, so he reminded him it’s over when Joe says it’s over. He says he’s turning the volume up on thier feud, and Rollins attacks. They brawl backstage.

- One-armed Strowman vs. Kalisto; Braun refuses to agree to the match because he’s injured and Roman Reigns is a coward who won’t face him. The ref calls for the bell anyway. Strowman starts to beatdown Kalisto with his arm in a sling when Roman’s music hits. A heavily taped up Reigns climbs in the ring for a staredown. Roman kicks him in his injured arm and then fells him with three Superman punches. Braun rolls out, so Reigns gives chase and runs right into a big boot. Roman fights back to wrap Strowman’s injured shoulder around the ringpost. He stays in control and grabs a chair, and Braun slinks out through the crowd holding his arm while Reigns stands tall in the ring.

- Joe vs. Rollins is announced for later tonight.

- Goldust gives R-Truth a locker room pep talk. Says they were disrespected by Braun and Angle, so he wants to turn back the clock like the Hardys and show they’re a force to be reckoned with in Tag Turmoil.

- Tag turmoil starts with an Enzo Amore & Big Cass promo about pooping your pants. They get Cesaro & Sheamus first.

- Cesaro & Sheamus def. Enzo Amore & Big Cass via submission (Cesaro Sharpshooter on Enzo)

- Cesaro & Sheamus def. Beauty & The Man-Beast via pinfall (Sheamus on Slater after a Brogue Kick... the heels also jumped Heath and Rhyno, taking out Rhyno, before they even made it to the ring)

- Cesaro & Sheamus def. Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows via pinfall (Sheamus on Gallows after a Brogue Kick)

- Cesaro & Sheamus def. Golden Truth via pinfall (Cesaro on R-Truth via roll-up after Truth misses a splash) to become #1 contenders to the Hardys tag titles

- Post-match beatdown from Shea-Saro continues until the Hardyz music hits. The challengers wait for them in the ring, then bail when they slide in. Matt & Jeff pose for cheers and “DELETE” chants while Cesaro & Sheamus exit.

- Seth Rollins def. Samoa Joe via disqualification when Joe sends Seth head-first into an exposed turnbuckle after the referee warned him not to. Joe then locks on the Coquina Clutch and keeps it on for a while while the official yells at him some more.

- Despite not being there, Michael Cole says Angle made Miz vs. Ambrose for the IC title next week

- In a clip from Facebook Live, Neville tells TJP that if wants a title shot, he need to beat Jack Gallagher tonight, then the champ will take care of the rest. Neville’s on commentary for that match.

- TJP def. Jack Gallagher via pinfall with a roll-up and a handful of tights. Perkins slaps on a post-match Knee-Bar until Austin Aries (in street clothes and a knee brace) runs in to take out TJP. On commentary, Neville refuses to confirm he’ll now give Perkins a title shot.

- Sasha Banks def. Alicia Fox via pinfall following double knees from the top rope (the pin didn’t look clean, Corey Graves mentions it on commentary and they show her left shoulder coming up on replay)

- Miz is on commentary for Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt

More likely they paid the UK a wheelbarrow full of ducats.

I actually think it's not either company's doing/lack of doing. The travel ban, as I understand, is a temporary thing as long as Jeff doesn't have any more criminal charges raised against him within a certain timeframe. (I think it's 7 years?)

Jeff's ban expired in October and has nothing to do with TNA or WWE.

Can''t be, he served a very short sentence in 2011. Plus I think if you get charged with trafficking, which he did, they're probably more stringent. This isn't like when comedian Kyle Kinane got rejected at the US/Canada border for a recent DUI charge, Jeff got charged with a felony.

The ban was 5 years staring in 2011 and ended in 2016.

Jeff Hardy's original plea deal included terms restricting leaving the country. Those terms expired in 2016. While a drug conviction might lead to problems entering other countries on visas, WWE has the legal staff to smooth these problems out and get waivers as needed.

That travel ban, which expired in October 2016, was why he always mysteriously suffered a severe injury right before TNA's UK tour. It was due to a drug conviction he had that prevented him traveling between the US and the UK.

When does Smackdown start so we can get some actual spoilers?

Actually it's exactly like that because in Canada DUI's are considered criminal or indictable offences which are the equivalent of a felony and can prevent you from crossing the border for good :eng101:
