Yes, he showed up on Raw to close the show.

Goodbye Bray Wyatt.

Was probably overdue. He hasn't been around since Mania, and really hasn't been right since Brodie died.

Hopefully he can get better.

yeah, hope he gets right. but im not bummed he was released. was never a fan.

'Your AT&T Universal Card has arrived'? Oh God, Kick-fucking-ass, I got a Master Card! I don't believe it, man. Life is kinda cool sometimes.

Ric Flair asked for and recieved his release from WWE.

Bray Wyatt released over the weekend.

Will we get CM Punk chants tonight at Raw?

Who here is also sick of "The head of the table..." shit that Roman Reigns runs around with. It just sounds dumb.

My how quickly Drew McIntyre has fallen... Getting in to squabbles with Jinder Mahal!

And predictions on Goldberg vs. Lashley? I don't see Goldberg winning as what does him winning do for WWE? Lashley is their stud.

Reigns has been the best thing on WWE TV for about a year now. There's still things they can do if they want, but they'll probably finish it up before January.

Lashley should win, so fully expect Goldberg to win a squash.

I personally love what they are doing with Reigns. I think he is great in this role and I hope they continue to use him as a heel.

Not a big fan of Drew. He had a nice moment, but I just dont think he is a main event level guy.

I am sick of the Goldberg thing. I do not care to ever see him again. So hopefully Lashley sends him to retirement.

Punk expected to be on AEW Rampage this Friday from the United Center.

My buddy Big Al used to run this Vegas wrestling show for a couple years back in the 90s. This is a great episode. At 36:30 Terry Funk piledrives Virgil into the concrete and Al takes a forearm from Funk and has to be taken away by paramedics.

Here's another good one where Virgil takes on the KKK:

Don't take it personally.

Only the biggest news in the business in the last several years.

Amazing how the show almost immediately sold out with only 3 weeks lead time and no matches announced, just based off the Punk rumors.

The UC is gonna be insane on Friday.

My issue isn't what they're doing with his (Reigns) character, it's the stupid "head of the table" label that makes me want to punch small puppies.

In regards to Goldberg, I like him, but I can't see any benefit to WWE to have him win the title, so Lashley wins and carries on, business as usual.

You say punch small puppies and I think of Jerry Lawler punching a small breasted Miss Kitty.

Eh...the Head of the Table thing is going somewhere. Acknowledgement of the Samoan Dynasty (RIP Krazy Ivan). I see a world where Super Cena actually wins at Summerslam...accomplishing 2 things:

1: Vince give Flair an FU for asking for his release.

2: Move the story forward where the Usos fuck up causing Cena to win and Roman to take it out on them.

CM Punk is back.

That pop was goddamn amazing.

I loved it. I am a huge fan of Punk. So glad to see him back. That pop was CRAZY. Sting being in the rafters was a nice touch.

An ice cream bar on Punk was nice too!

AEW did the whole Punk return perfectly, and great googly-moogly, I have never heard a wrestling crowd reaction like that. Ever.

Sounds like it is not a short term or part time thing from the post interview. I hope they CRUSH the WWF.

So am I reading this right, SummerSlam is tonight?

A PPV on a Sat night

Yup. For some strange reason, VKM did that purposely - not that there’s a fairly big fight going on in the same town tonight or anything .

Tomorrow is NXT Takeover 36, and if the reports are true, NXT is going to be overhauled and regress back to being truly “developmental” afterward - never mind that it is by far the most watchable WWE product right now.

Expect Adam Cole to be #ALLELITE by the end of the calendar year.

Something different, pretty good card as well.

Looking forward to Cena/Reigns and Edge/Rollins.


NXT Takeover with Kross/Joe and WALTER/Ilja has my interest.

I'll check out Roman and Cena probably.

Maybe some on NXT tomorrow.

WWE is just very stale right now.

_________________

I would say Raw is, but not SmackDown.

The stuff with Corbin, Edge/Rollins, Cena/Reigns, and a possible feud between Rey and Dominic are all good stuff. Hopefully WWE is trending towards combining the brands and cutting some more dead weight.

I enjoyed the show tonight.

Tag match to start the night as good. Orton and AJ in the same ring is always going to be a treat.

Edge and Rollins was really really good. Loved the Brood entrance.

Lashley and Goldberg was a big mehh and it appears there is more of that to come.

Cena and Reigns was good.

And Brock coming out to end the show. His look made me laugh. Jeans and a pony tail.

WWE isn't stale anymore.

Well they probably are still stale, but they've got some big time buzz tonight with the 2 biggest returns in sports entertainment.
