Damn that's a cool entrance
When the lights go on though the costume looks like a romper suit for a 3 year old.

If Slater gets a job because of the DQ here, then they've wasted an nice opportunity.

Eva Marie, surely she has to be doing "services" to certain authorities for her to be still employed in the WWE?

I wonder if she is the next Rosa Mendes?

I've often found it absurd that the likes of Heath Slater, Damien Sandow and even Tyler Breeze have been treated like 1980s jobbers on even one occasion. Since 2001, this company has had such an athletic roster. Duds like Mason Ryan an David Ottunga are the exception rather than the norm. Yet they've squandered so many acts to 50/50 booking on C shows and squash matches on Raw. All because slowburn storytelling belongs to wrasslin' and old school entertainment, and Vince doesn't believe fans care or remember win/loss. Though if they really believed that the likes of Cena, Reigns and Lesnar wouldn't have been handled so carefully.

The matches thrown away on something like Main Event and even a competen yet bland wrestler like Bo Dallas or Fandango should mean a lot more than they do to the product.
I thought the whole point in getting rid of the authority was so you didnt have to sit through boring Promos in the ring by them every week and we get the same thing with Seth Rollins. Why exactly does he have to have a promo in the ring every week for?

I know hes fighting Balor but doing a Promo for the sake of it makes no sense.

If they want to bring a LGBT+ character in why not use Darren Young who is gay.

I just don't trust WWE to do it right and that is not to mention certain fans and groups.
LGBT is a stupid word to call lesbians and gays. Why not just call them gays or Lesbiens instead of this Lame word that seems to be over used in the media.

Because there are plenty of us who aren't Lesbian, Gay or Straight. Technically it's LGBTPQ+ done properly.

Doubtful when she is actually learning to wrestle, They probably think she will be massively marketable once she can do that to a level they see as acceptable. Plenty with little talent have been retained because what they offer in marketing and stuff

Rosa didn't even do that which is why her staying around was so weird

Curt Hawkins doesn't flush the toilet he scares the crap out of it. That for me was the highlight of last night's Smackdown.

Looks like Del Rio has been a naughty boy.

Take a look at @WWEUK's Tweet: https://twitter.com/WWEUK/status/765...407122432?s=09

He should change his name to Brock Lesnar and he would not get banned

He won't be missed shame it's only 30 days I was so hoping he was told to bore off.

He's apparently on a minimum downside of $500,000 a year, wouldn't be surprised if they try to punt him.

Looks like Sky Sports will be broadcasting WWE Network content from September - WWE Swerved and WWE 24 both showing in their schedules on Sky Sports Mix.

Acronyms stand for things.

Is the story not that he has the option of going in September? So he's probably made his last appearance. It's a shame that his booking has been so abysmal because he looked like a star in Lucha Underground.

Very different performer in Lucha and Chris DeJoseph said that much of the material he said in Lucha was scripted so, you can either say WWE gave him bad material or he didn't do it the same way he did in Lucha.

Two tweets from James Caldwell of PWTorch:

WWE just released SEC filing on VKM's trust selling 1.547 million shares of WWE stock. Something's going down, not sure what.

SEC filing includes line that VKM "intends to continue in his capacity" as Chairman/CEO for "foreseeable future."

Three tweets from Brandon Howard:

VKM has sold 1.547m shares of $WWE. He still owns 35.5m shares and 85% of voting power, 46.5% of all company stock. http://api40.10kwizard.com/cgi/conve...=-1&pdf=1&dn=1

The amount of stock Vince McMahon sold today is worth $32.4m at market close.

Vince sold a large amount of stock in May also. https://twitter.com/deano_mufc/statu...13301461581824
