seems insane to have a Money in the Bank briefcase for a roster with six active wrestlers

Five, since presumably the champ won't be in the match. Who the hell do they even have left to fill out the numbers--

Probably Lana too. Could even be her televised debut!

I can't get over Jinder's facial expressions. Every time he tries to look angry, he just scrunches up his nose in a goofy way. It looks less like "pissed off heel" and more like "smelled a fart."

Dude is clearly trying hard, but he's just not main event material. Doesn't help that his henchmen are baby-sized cruiserweights who weren't good enough for the actual cruiserweight division.

Didn't WWE have to take a lowball offer the last time their TV contract was up for renewal? And that was during the peak of the sports rights bubble, when networks were handing out blank checks for any random poo poo.

If they think they can get a higher or even similar deal next time out, they're probably going to be disappointed.

Have the Bollywood Boys had a match since showing up? Have they even talked? Do they have any chance of sticking around once the Jinder experiment is over?

They wrestled on the 205 Live premiere, became NXT jobbers for a few months and then randomly showed up on Smackdown as Jinder's children "muscle."

Hot take: the Breezango match wasn't that good, you guys.

It was the perfect comedy match turns into legit match. Everyone looked good and the crowd loved it. What more do you want?

I didn't think it was very funny so maybe I'm secretly Dave :shrug:

Cageside Seats rumor post posted:

WWE may have tabled plans for a full UK show on the Network due to poor ratings for 205 Live.

"Yeah, let's aggressively target the UK market, make a belt and sign a bunch of guys for this theoretical weekly show, but then don't do it and leave a bunch of guys in limbo."
