WWE TV, Rumours and Discussion (On Netflix)

[nobbyiscool]

I thought the commentary during the main event today was particularly interesting, with Wade Barrett going out of his way to introduce the presence of Roman Reigns into the match.

I don't think Seth's heel turn is coming post-WM, I think it's happening on this side of the big show.

Much less interesting was Bayley's moving to Raw... to have her first match against Nia. WTF?! And that SNME match with Rhea is as throwaway as it gets, there doesn't appear to be any reason to watch that show. The last one was a televised house show, and this one has even less effort behind it.

Must be dispiriting to have nothing going on, to potentially be on the cusp of release, to forming a group and thinking "great, things can only get better from here"... and then they don't, they still get worse. There is absolutely no reason for PFC to exist.

They also need to get the belts off the War Raiders, they didn't do anywhere near enough to build them up before putting the belts on them, and they're dying a death as champions.

lol Kofi paying JBL $2 to speak well about The New Day, and then taking it back. wtf was that move on the outside, Mysterio did a random flip when Kofi was trying to do a move on him.

Cool that Cole mentioned Penta vs Pete Dunne happened at RevPro.

Kofi lost control of Rey, was going to flip him up into powerbomb position but lost hold.

The last one was a televised house show, and this one has even less effort behind it.

That's effectively what SNME is, it's not marketed as a PLE. It's basically similar to AEWs shows like Winter is Coming.

I'd compare WWE Saturday Nights Main Event to WCW Clash of Champions, or AEW Battle of the Belts in terms of it's purpose. Almost like a quarterly special TV event.

Ain’t no one touching CM Punk on the mic. Enjoyed the line about killing Hulkamania.

Wonder if that line about "Throwing Hogan's dusty ass over the top rope" was ad libbed. Almost looked like he was going to say something else but quickly changed it.

Raw has had a really nice flow the past few weeks. The way Reigns and the Bloodline are still impacting multiple storylines across multiple shows is just fantastic story telling.

Punk bringing up his favour or two when discussing how he can win the Rumble is interesting.

Maybe i’ve missed it, but has anything been said about whether we’re getting SNME (either on Netflix or YouTube)?
