UPDATE: In speaking with additional WWE sources throughout the night, it was said to be a poorly kept secret that WWE hopes to have Lesnar back, but that those close to Lesnar don't believe any real contact or movement has been made in that direction. We'll keep inquiring about his status.

Don't stop there!

HIAC 2016 ending: Charlotte fails to put Sasha through a table, then pins her to absolute silence from the Boston crowd.
HIAC 2017 ending: Falls Count Anywhere so Shane can jump off a thing, Sami Zayn heel turn, start of the horrible feud between Shane and KOSZ. Also, Nakamura lost clean to Jinder on this show.

Also HIAC 2020 had Roman and his cousins doing a high school play for half an hour.

Brock is leaking it so that BBT gives him a huge offer which then leads to Vince crashing three cargo planes filled with cash into the mountain near Brock’s home so that Brock wrestles 3 times a year.

For those who don't peep into the MOTYC nomination thread, no less than three matches tonight got the infamous WMOTYC nod, probably a new record for drat near any event ever.

Bonus fact: All three matches nominated were from the RAW side of things!

It's not even the most a WWE show received this year and it's not even half of how many Wrestlemania 35 got.

I will be fair here. That botch was entirely on Charlotte who has been one of the worst wrestlers on the entire roster since returning last year. Rhea hasn't been any better since being called up though. Both are absolutely garbage in every aspect of the business right now.

What wasn't shown there was Charlotte's spinning elbow that is 100% meant to be a tribute to Andrade, but is one of the worst spinning elbows in modern history. Also not shown is commentary screaming about how Charlotte is the best in the world constantly through the entire match.

When I clicked on that tweet the top mention underneath was literally about that

It’s kinda wild how they’ll swing between “AEW is too dangerous, so many injuries!” and “lol they make it all obviously fake” whenever they need it to

Charlotte does not give a single solitary gently caress in matches where she knows she won’t leave with the title and the match finish is obvious the moment she does her entrance

vince sees his audience as the biggest idiot easy mark targets of all time and this is a heatcheck.

show looked awful. i will never be interested in fiend poo poo much less creepy alexa bliss lolita by way of hot topic fiend poo poo. rhea/charlotte looks crappy again. lmfao the end of the main event.

re: charlotte and the wonderous phantom stomps, i wonder how much is wwe style/demands and how much is just like... not giving a gently caress about working in front of the tv screens anymore. it has to be an element right

I saw that take too, and it's stupid. If your taunt spot relies on a very inaudible bit of dialogue or it looks like you're embarassingly whiffing kicks, don't do the taunt spot.

the arm bending thing wasn't even the "important" thing in that bit, no one noticed it or commentated on it. Alexa can apparently hypnotize people by telling them to stare into her eyes, so she was hypnotizing Shayna into releasing the hold. not sure if that was dumber than her trying to hypnotize Reginald, or hypnotizing Nia Jax into slapping Reginald.
