What does it say about the quality of the match when you can just interchange any finish on the end of it? That's pretty much my problem with WWE these days.

Per PWInsider Heath Slater will be on Raw. He's still fired but still under the 90 day no compete elsewhere window

TNA is still likely to get him when his 90 days are up on Slammiversary day

I said this in the NJPW thread but Japan isn't letting one arrive from the US or New Zealand, & even if they were letting in people from NZ he'd have to spend 2 weeks in quarantine in NZ first.

Basically, if Jay White is on a New Japan show before the end of August it'd be a bigger surprise than Dick Togo returning.

Maybe he has indeed already spent two weeks in NZ. I want to believe

(Why NZ? They more or less ”defeated” the virus like a month ago)

IDK, maybe how they beat the virus is by actually treating seriously people who came from abroad & might spread it.

But also it doesn't matter because NZ is on the list of forbidden countries to Japan too. They were talking about a travel bubble featuring NZ, Vietnam, Australia & Japan at one point but that was a month ago & nowt's happened

NZ is only letting nationals in and doesn’t have international flights outbound at the moment, neither does Australia.

Japan is doing the Japan thing and putting up a high barrier (only allowing in certain foreigners in circumstances, which Jay likely does not qualify for) while actual enforcement is ????????

I also wouldn’t be surprised if that image wasn’t live, so to speak, and he’s gotten back in and started quarantine early enough.

I fully expect this to be discussed in the main discussion thread now that it's official, but since it's also technically a Raw spoiler: Today's WWE tapings are the end of Kairi in the company before she goes back to Japan to retire, per PWInsider

Great, so instead of the viewers listening to the ref slowly count to ten a hundred times, instead they will get "WHATDAYA SAY EDGE?" over and over for 43 minutes

and then, of course, the ceremonial extraction of the loser's eye

And of course with this match the losers will be the viewers & they will be upset they had to wait until they end to lose an eye & ideally it'd have been both instead of just one.

I enjoyed 3/4ths of their last Mania match though it dragged a lot until they started fighting around the truck once they left the gym, but the follow up match was really great. Not sure why'd there would be so much time in between the matches but maybe Randy is going to get the title at some point and edge will win the rumble or something. I'll take literally anyone over Braun as champ any more, hate that guy.

I really don't think there's anything left for WWE to pull that would get me excited about the product again, even if crowds were back.

The one thing would've been Lady Battlebowl and AEW is already doing that.
