Has Braun even given any kind of recent indication he gives a poo poo about Alexa?

Yaknow... I'll be shocked if they don't make a blue lives matter group to combat the antifa terrorists. Mustafa and Seth with their bumbling sidekick wannabe Ricochet. Maybe they can team up with the Forgotten Sons to really show those bad hombres.

Ricochet does a flippy move off the top and accidentally takes out an uninvolved wrestler or official, thus the wrestlecops hit an innocent bystander with a careless ricochet

So, who's Pat McAfee, and why is he getting a match?

According to a Google search, he was a "punter." Aren't punters the guys who kick and little else?

McAfee got immediately "randomly selected" for a drug test after blowing up a kickoff returner

That kickoff returner was Trindon Holliday though and he's like 5'6 160 lbs

Bray was out there before commercial, Alexa just kind of materialized

Also the way she stopped the mandible claw was by gently caressing his cheek and he got angry and stomped away

So in other words Alexa would at some point have to had voluntarily walked out there to be menaced by what they're selling as a supernatural entity of evil who attacked her last week and threatened to hurt her this week. Even if this is some kind of swerve it still makes no drat sense.

With absolutely no explanation or questioning from anyone about why she was out there

At first I thought it was a replay from last week, then I thought I had just missed her being out there before commercial somehow

Didn’t the Fiend just teleport Alexa to the ring wince she was wearing the same poo poo as when she was attacked? I mean it’s stupid but not weird to me.

If that were the case then they should have had the lights go down and then come back up and she's in the ring looking confused, not come back from commercial with the screeching noises and her in the middle of the ring

Lana and Bobby Lashley’s wedding was broken up by a lesbian who never interacted with the bride again.

That's not true. IIRC they had two wrestling matches that Lana won both of while Lashley was winning every match against Rusev on his way out of the company

Then Lashley left his new wife for MVP I guess

Are they actually trying to make Natalya, 38 years old and debuted in 2008, in any way youthful?

It seems more likely that Lana and Natalya will be some weird "trying desperately to still look youthful" group. Less embarrassing than the farting gimmick at least.

38 is millenial

So I watched it, and...... The gently caress even is WWE going for? Just seems like Lana and Natalya trying to do the iconics deal. Don't know where the millenials thing comes into it.

Including that they advertised Mickie was returning, and she only returned for a 20 second interview and got bullied. A return should be a match!

Pretty sure it's an old man's understanding of millenial culture

That's why they were talking about tik tok and hash tags

Someone must have told Shane he was getting made fun of for "That's good that's good!" because I didn't hear him say it this week

Based on his punches, I'm surprised he didn't double down and say it way more often

i think Seth was in a serious relationship with someone while sleeping with the nazi, and it was the girlfriend who leaked the pics as opposed to the nazi

Seth was engaged, his fiancee found text messages between him and Zahra as well as nudes that had been exchanged, she tweeted out the chatlogs and nudes on Seth's account, WWE.com had Seth's penis on the front page for like six hours because it automatically aggregates wrestlers' twitter accounts (or did, probably not anymore)

Sports (especially baseball) live in a constant state of terror that one day people will realize they are entirely pointless and sometimes kind of boring and that without packed stands showing you that this could be you enjoying yourself people will stop caring for sport all together and drop it and then sports as a industry will die instantly because :capitalism:

If they're goina all in on this Alexa/Bray thing, at least try and salvage the babyface aspect by having her in the Funhouse. You could even revive her NXT fairy princess gear.

I'm honestly surprised they made the right call with Keith Lee, so watch Randy get his win back tomorrow ensuring Keith doesn't get over.

So what, in the Funhouse she's the fairy princess and for Fiend matches she gets her Freddy gear back?
