  • Otis appears on MizTV to talk about how he won the Money in the Bank contract.
  • NXT Champion Charlotte Flair appears on Smackdown to make no difference to their ratings either.
  • Sami Zayn has been unfairly stripped of the Intercontinental Title for not being able to perform not showing up to wrestle in the middle of a global pandemic after being told he didn't have to if he didn't want to.
  • Jordan Devlin hasn't been stripped of his title despite not being "able to perform", even though they're holding a tournament for an "interim" Cruiserweight Champion.
  • Andrade hasn't been stripped of his US Title despite no defenses for a long time AND a 30 day wellness suspension.

Love that they kept in the competitors asking where the briefcase is in this video package despite being told over and over and over again that they're on the roof.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

Ahhh I missed 30 seconds of that, did they challenge Otis to a tag match with the claim that Otis doesn't have anybody willing to tag with him? Was Tucker mentioned?

to the person or persons who seriously tape these shows and fast forward to 1 character then stop watching the rest, consider laying down your tools and typing in the character's name on youtube the next day

Thanks!

Also I guess after the initial backlash to Sarah Logan being fired and WWE suggesting they might possibly maybe perhaps consider whether they might rehire her... they stopped giving a poo poo and just left her fired?
