GOD'S FAVORITE CHAMPION
I'm okay with this even though its super redundant. First of all, AJ's winning, they've blew their twist load on Jinder being champ. 2nd, it's the exact same 3 guys from the last world title match so at least corbin throwing people on their necks or ziggler bumping around will be an extra lil something.

This is with an aim to make her apparently the next Austin.

They're not even bringing in Ronda to make someone else a big deal to then go on to feud with someone, just skipping straight to McMahon being the mainstream face of the company.

They book like a dying territory.

THE LIAR
I actually think there's a decent level of logic here. Shane can't stand the idea of Sami or Kevin winning the championship so he's trying to load the match up with other people to dilute the chances of that.

AJ said last week that Shane and Bryan's nonsense was affecting him, so this continues that. And we know AJ is winning because I don't think WWE is stupid enough to gently caress with their smark wet dream semi-main after already announcing it. So gently caress it yeah load the match up and let's have a crazy spotfest. I wanted AJ vs Sami as a single but it's clear now that that was never happening.

I hope this angle leads to AJ punching Daniel Bryan in the face as hard as he can and the crowd just stares in silence confused about how to react.

thats why it should only be about cool pigs daniel bryan meets and stuff.

im watching old raws and every time sable comes out its honestly hilarious. she's the least sexy "sexy woman" ever. instead of talking seductively, like do like an eartha kitt thing or something, she just has the bluntest midwestern mom voice ever. "THIS IS FOR THE WIMMEN WHO WANNA BE ME AND THE MEN WHO CAME TO SEE ME. WHOS READY FOR THA GRIIIND" and then she does like, elaine's dance from seinfeld but if it was like a stripper dance. its loving hilarious.

You're being awfully generous to the tag scene that involves Breeze and Fandango getting themselves over to ultimately become (or stay) jobbers, the only heel team getting swept in a 2 out of 3 falls match, and giving New Day nothing tag related to do most weeks.

OFFICIAL RACIST
WWE 2017 financial results were posted earlier today. There wasn't much of note, other than a 10% revenue increase to $801m, along with them hinting that the frontrunners for the new TV deal are Fox Sports and NBC Universal.

They also talked about increasing engagement to the international marketplace, which is probably why we are seeing more foreign stars pushed.

NBC Universal owns USA Network. So don't hold your breath for two hour RAWS under them. :v:

In other news, WWE has promoted George Barrios and Michelle Wilson to a Co-President position.

For those who don't remember George, he's the guy with the really weird forehead.
