Maybe it was a rib on Tony for having Edge's Dynamite debut be in a random backstage segment.

Seems a bit weird considering Edge debuted in the main event of the PPV a few days before and was in the main event of Dynamite that episode as well.

Did Roman get hurt in that match or did he just have a lot of vacation days banked

It does look like he got hurt early in the match, but they still could have had him on the shows backstage

So I see WWE realized they couldn't do their default idea for tag team champions of "Just put it on the Usos for a year or two and we'll figure out what to do with them later" and went back to the old reliable "gently caress it put em on two random singles guys that were feuding, probably have them beat the few actual tag teams we have, and then one of them inevitably betrays the other for some reason"

I went to the show because I've never been to a PPVPLE and they never come through Indy. It was pretty fun live. The crowd was into most things. LA Knight is over as gently caress. Seth is very popular.

I had a good time even though the card wasn't kind of light. Much better than going to TV shows for sure.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Gonna get so much usage out of this

I'm not sure how much longer he's going, but I didn't have much hope that they'd put the belt on him considering he's 43, is a shell of his former self, and can barely speak English.

Open Marriage Night posted:

Divisive? I thought it was okay. Lots of people are mad that Shinsuke didn't win for whatever reason. Nakamura got most of the offense but Rollins one. There was one pretty bad spot where Nakamura threw him off a railing but you could clearly see Seth land on some padding.

LA Knight turns 41 in a month :shrug:

I agree that the clock is running out on Shinsuke but this storyline seemed like it was built for him to become a megaheel instead he loses to Seth, acts cocky about it, then loses to Seth again

Right, but LA Knight can talk. I also doubt he's winning a world title anytime soon, he'll probably top out by losing to Roman.

I'm glad Shinsuke's name isn't forever in the title lineage of the loser fuckface nerd championship. Seth can hold it forever.
