Until he decides to push something else at its expense, you mean.

Yes but Roman is on Smackdown.

---

I don't get why DREW MAC and Keith Lee are suddenly friends.

Didn't Lee powerbomb the everloving shit out of him on NXT?

---

So watching Dominik on RAW. He seems okay but like a step too slow and a little stiff.

I assume he's had a ton of training so far.

---

Rey re-signed with WWE to get beat up by RETRIBUTION.

---

No, he re-signed to make an obscene amount of money for doing nothing of substantive value.

---

Potato pohtahto

---

It was brought up what an absolute failure the performance center is when Dominik and McAfee come out there and look better than everyone without having been trained there.

The PC seems detrimental somehow, the more you really consider that Charlotte Flair is the only home grown talent that's any good and that when people leave there, they start to pick up everything much better.

---

Problem is that their best success turned out to be a Pedophile.

---

Even then, I heard Dream really underwhelmed the last time he returned from his pre-car pedo accident.

I'm pretty sure some of the pedo stuff came out while he was feuding with Cole.

---

I love when I get a notification that there's twenty new posts in this topic and I only see, like, 5 of them.

---

Oh Aleister Black came back as a heel.

Not a bad idea.

---

One last note for Summerslam, our unique ppv main event streak is reset to 1.

From Super Showdown to Extreme Rules
Goldberg
Baszler
Taker
McIntyre
Asuka
Otis
Orton
Wyatt

And Wyatt just double tapped to reset the count. Does he make it 3 in a row at Payback, or does the night belong to the Big Dawg?

(Because lol at anything else headlining a last minute ppv)

yes

AEW kept a 775k rating for their show on Saturday with NXT Takeover competition and starting at the unadvertised time.

The main reason it was so low was because they lost all the olds.

---

So I hear the Thunderdome has produced such great results as a KKK rally and an ISIS beheading.

Who could have saw this coming?

---

To be fair, the KKK picture was Chris Jericho playing a Klansman in a film

I'm seeing 755k, but still anything over 600k with the move was gonna be a huge success.

---

Oh, I probably got the numbers mixed up then. Your number is probably right. Word is they were going to be happy with anything over 700k. 0.31 in the demo though which is also great considering.

---

I don't see why WWE had a problem with the ISIS beheading.

They've already proven they have no issue with supporting execution when they went to Saudi Arabia.

---

Poor Keith Lee.

Damage controlling his debut on Twitter.

---

RAW did a 2.03 rating.

Keith Lee = ratings.

Also, Wade Barrett is supposedly going to be in NXT's announcing booth this Wednesday.

Edit: Here's the quarterly breakdown for AEW on Saturday:

P2+ (total audience)
Q1 1002k
Q2 724
Q3 791
Q4 767
Q5 712
Q6 666
Q7 640
Q8 738

P18-49 (key demo)
Q1 575k
Q2 416
Q3 444
Q4 423
Q5 386
Q6 361
Q7 288
Q8 356

Also the reason Keith Lee is telling everyone to chill is because Def Rebel (the name of WWE Music Producers) just posted on an Instagram that they're working on a new theme for Lee. It seems that his current theme is a place-holder.

Basically Lee's old theme was a CFO$ theme and apparently there's a purge of old CFO$ themes due to the licensing agreement they had with the group. Hence why people like Apollo Crews got new themes.

damnit they've not made a good theme since CFO$ yet

Gonna disagree there, though they have made a bunch of completely generic ones (Cesaro, Rollins, Bayley). And there's definitely some CFO$ songs that would absolutely be missed. But there's definitely some good themes under them.

---

I think you misread that sentence.

---

Killer Kross had to relinquish the NXT title due to injury.

---

Looks like Ciampa is rightfully back to being a heel.

---

And Fandango won his first WWE title.

And the solution to the new NXT champion is a 4 way Iron Man match

???

---

Ryan Satin actually makes a good point

Why doesnt this count as Gargano and Ciampa wrestling each other again
---

DBD named his son Buddy Dessert Danielson.

---

We finally know what happened to Murphy's first name.

---

"Give me your name!"

---

ooh a 60-minute 4-way iron man

I'm kind of into it? Might watch

---

Fandango won his first WWE title.

Thus ending the run of the longest actively employed wrestler with no title history.

Wonder who the new frontrunner is there?

The logistics of it are just weird. Like, if people are tied do we go to overtime? Is there a ref there to usher out the wrestlers who don't make it to overtime? Since it's a No DQ match (I assume) but say there's only 2 wrestlers left in overtime, can another wrestler interfering cause a DQ, which would cause on the remaining wrestlers to lose?

---

If you count NXT its Aliyah

For continuous time on the main roster its Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik
---

And now that I do the research, Gran Metalik had a main roster match first

It also leads to some funny scenarios where, say, Finn pins everyone in the match once, is never beaten himself, but Ciampa wins the title because he pinned Cole and Gargano 4 times
---

Apparently Wade Barrett was moved off the WWEs alumini page, so he might be a more permanent member of the NXT booth.

Wonder if that means Nigel McGuinness is officially done with the company.

---

So wait is Hangman Page turning heel now?

---

Here is your daily Ryan Satin in which Tony Khan had to explain to him what an idiot he is.

---

Follow up: King Shark thinks Ryan Satin is a spastic idiot.

https://twitter.com/RonFunches/status/1299159314431488001?s=19

---

So Hangman Page finally got kicked out of The Elite.

What's interesting is that Omega was a no-show during all this. Omega had been hinting at a heel turn himself but since FTR is the #1 contenders I assume they're taking the belts off Page and Omega.

---

Also Khan asked them to not chant "Holy Shit" and they did it anyway.

---

Wow they didn't get kicked out of the audience either for wrongdoing like WWE's virtual fans?

Ryan Satin told me these were the same situations.

---

Starting to watch AEW right now but I'm very happy that Chris Jericho personally lifted his ban on crowds in the audience. I thought it was too much when he banned all fans, but it's nice he let them back.

---

Triple H more or less said that the accusations against the NXT UK talent were all fake after they "investigated".

Please stop supporting WWE.

---

Clearly they should be able to produce this evidence of forgery to both clear their contractors names and rightfully shame these women making up accusations, right?

Should be reeeeeeeal easy to produce, Paul.

---

AEW managed 813k viewers on Thursday, which considering it was going up against Trump is pretty damn good, though there was a slight dip in the 18-49 demo.
