I like how to the bitter final breath they never let go of the fact this marriage is a horrible idea but it's going to happen through sheer stubborness. No matter how hard the wedding tried to fail it made it all the way to the end.

I feel like they're going to keep Knight around as the veteran who jobs to the young guys. That seems to be a solid role for him.

Probably slide him into a training role at some point if he isn't already there.

This joke was hacky when Meet The Parents did it 20 years ago, which means it's perfectly relevant by WWE standards today.

I can't wait for the all these WWE superstars to get drafted to the other show and then 2 weeks later start a blood feud against the brand they were just on because the calendar dictates this is the time of year where Raw and Smackdown suddenly hate each other for exactly one month per year.

The plan going back to Samoa Joe having the title seems to be to have an old skilled veteran with the title and a legacy of holding the title that the young up and comers chase. It kind of makes perfect sense for the start of what they're trying to build.

It makes it a bigger deal for the first actual developmental talent that takes the title from Ciampa.

Considering there's a draft coming up soon, it won't be dreadfully small for much longer

if Knight's not chopped after tonight, I suspect they're going to attach him to Corbin or something

actually, speaking of the draft, I imagine they'll gently caress up The Way and InDex by moving them all to Raw and doing a massive breakup angle in, ooh, about four weeks after their main roster debut

I always go in thinking "This is corny" but then Lumis manages to save the segment every time. Him revealing a hatchet got an audible laugh out of me. I don't know if either Indi or Dexter have good matches in NXT, but their segments are the only streamables I go out of my way to watch every week. Amazing.

you have to admit it is quite the strategic masterstroke against mr breakker. by the time wwe has worked its star magic the idea of him going anywhere else with his legally born name 'bronson steiner' is thoroughly defenestrated. steiner? who the gently caress is that?

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

I thought it was sweet and wholesome how happy everyone was at the wedding.

Normally wrestling weddings are spiteful affairs, marred by brawling and ruined cakes.

Bear in mind I don't watch the show, and only saw the highlight video posted earlier in this thread, but still it looked like goofy fun.

You're giving WWE a lot of credit to remember the wedding even happened. They'll get called up as completely different characters and the wedding will never be mentioned again.

also, I really don't think this era of close competion will lead to any sort of WWE resurgence in the long run

I think it'll lead to Vince actually trying for once, but he won't have what it takes to beat AEW, especially since they already employ a large chunk of the next generation of great talent, and they're actually developing them into great stars. Lee Moriarty, for example, has a strong future ahead of him in AEW, and he's bound to go over some surprisingly big names in the next year alone. The Fed'll probably still have a lock on the elderly and people of colour (especially Black people) for a few years to come, but I don't think it'll be enough to stop what's coming.

Anyway, the success of tonight's show was further Humiliation For Loser Hunter
