Possibly the loudest ever in WWE. The pop completely drowned out the ending of "If you smell...".

Not that it really bothers me, but when LA Knight made the save on John Cena, he basically did the Rock's entire move set with them all looking almost the same right down to the punches.

I noticed that too but at the same time at the apex of cena’s 5 moves of doom it was the same story there

Rumors are that Endeavor has favored HHH's creative over Vince's, which is why you've seen some of H's guys return the last few weeks and there's been a bit of uptick in the product too.

While the Jimmy Uso stuff is the first real botch in the Bloodline storyline, Rhea Ripley is absolutely killing it on the mic and with her non-in-ring stuff lately. I'm just about ready to say she's the best female o f all-time already. The entire package.

Huh, Nick Aldis as Smackdown GM? I only saw what WWE pushed out on YouTube, but I'm glad he's getting a spot like that. He (along with Thunder Rosa) were the biggest reasons to watch NWA Powerrr when it had that strong start before the pandemic wrecked it. As much as I liked Eli Drake (now LA Knight) too, Aldis was the clear star of that show and he cuts a better promo than most.

It’s really hard to watch that segment and not mark out. I was grinning from ear to ear like a ****ing fanboi idiot

Even when he loses at crown jewel what a ****ing awesome journey this has been

Drawing live that knight goes over at WM

Not that I think there’s even the slightest chance la knight goes over but I love this push so much

Guy deserves to be the one who gets over on Roman. I realize he’s too old for it to be a long term push but man. He’s that dude

What do you mean "long term" and "too old"?

They'll be putting themselves in an impossible position if they'll only be satisfied with the next Rock/Austin/Cena being the one to go over Roman. They just need to let someone do it who can credibly put on a good 6+ months with the title.

At this point, I think everyone knows Cody's going to be the one to beat him.

idk what he meant by long term but he turns 41 in two days. Though Cody's 38 so really not too much of a difference. Knight's certainly older than the usual full time torch bearers.

Fun note: looking at these things I saw Roman's only 36 days older than Cody.

I think H having creative control gives more of a chance for knight being the one that goes over, if anyone else has any say I just don’t see a 3.5 year reign being ended by a 40 year old no matter how white hot over he is

Rumor has it WWE wants Reigns to surpass Hogan's record, so likely will go over Cody at WM again next year

That seems especially weird since Hogan doesn’t hold the all-time longevity record anyway.

True, but that 1st reign is #2 all-time, and WWE loves bragging about statistics no casual fan cares about

If you’re not giving it to knight the only person it makes sense to go over reigns is (assuming he leaves aew) MJF

knight, even at 40, is the only person currently rostered within the wwe that makes sense. kinda expecting at this point he wins the rumble and ships WM

Cody still makes sense. He'll get the Mania match. Who knows if he actually wins though. Knight is 41 now

MJF debuts at Mania and screws Cody while Reigns retains and breaks Hogan's record

Did Asuka turn on Bianca twice this year? Maybe stop picking her as your partner?

Looks like we've found our modern-day Ric Flair turning on Sting saga

I've become obsessed with Rhea Ripley. Not in a I'm going to stalk her sense, but I just want her on my TV screen all the time. I'd watch her read a phone book for 3 hours every Monday.

She's been great for a long time, but there was this period on Raw, when she first came up, that she seemed either a bit lost or intimidated. Now, the confidence and presence is just radiating off her each week.

The women's division has come a long way over the last decade, but with John Cena on his way out and Roman Reigns part time, she should be the next face of the company and person they build around for the next decade at least.
