Man I wish they would stop cutting to the audience for reaction shots.

Didn't think this Corbin/Sheamus match would happen this fast. So Gable turning was for what then?

I guess the tri-brand battle royal makes sense the way Steph framed it (via Bayley making enemies).
It's still kinda dumb, though. If the brands are supposed to be separate, why is anyone floating? Last edited by screech; 08-10-2020 at 09:15 AM. Reason: I know I made that point already, but it's actually related here. |

So Retribution is lame Nexus? (I did not see any Aces & Eights stuff so I can't compare.)
Feel like they tried too hard to "act tough" and came off sounding dumb as shit - like Ortiz in AEW at the beginning. When you try to look "hard," you usually end up looking like a doofus. |

Guess the FOX logo is going to be in SD's main preview image for shows from now on. Wonder what was the reason for the sudden change. |

Guess WWE got bored of doing those cool show intro videos that ran down what was in store for the night's show.

Either Retribution suddenly grew in numbers or WWE still isn't sure who to put in the group since a few of them seemed to look different.

at the "foot clan from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" diss by Big E.
Way better for Retribution to be compared to them than the current online running gag of them being Aces & 5'8'' |

Jericho and Scott Steiner were way better and funnier when it came to ridiculing people entering the ring as guest ring announcers.

Asuka pulling off a Mandy Rumble save spot via Bayley & Banks was cool.
Asuka also winning it and getting two title matches at SummerSlam is very interesting. Battle Royal itself was decent though. |

Mandy just busted out her best ever promo.
Also a hair vs. hair match between her and Sonya sounds interesting. Wonder if whoever loses that match stays bald for the rest of their WWE career like what happened with Big Show and Kurt Angle. |

Whatever potential there might have been in a Shorty G heel run, WWE decide to quickly wreck it in just 2 weeks.

What's with Hardy being in back to back feuds that involve piss in some form.
First it was the piss jar throw segment with Sheamus and now him interrupting Styles' new P.I.S.S. ranking system. |

Don't think Jeff Hardy knows how stats work since just writing your name on a board doesn't automatically make you #2 in the standings.
at Lucha House Party stealing the SD tag titles. Must have gotten that idea from Sasha. |

That's how you get a title shot in AEW.

Seems odd to not just wait an extra week to do Hardy vs. Styles for the IC belt at SummerSlam instead of at next week's go-home show.
2nd time that type of situation has happened with Styles for the belt. |

First it was Orton's punt to Flair and now Braun's toss of Alexa that got the blacked out treatment this week.
Also think Strowman just snapped now so all that's left is a submission move and his transformation as a badass submission machine will be complete. This week's episode was mostly good overall. Asuka winning the Battle Royal and Mandy Rose's promo were the only really interesting stuff but the rest of the show was fine in general. |

lol watched the Retribution stuff. Santana Garrett definitely was one of the women this week but that doesn't really matter, like 20 people were running out.
Definitely going more and more towards Aces and Eights territory where you'll wind up with a handful of people getting unmasked that are the featured players with this overarching group of anonymous masked goons running in occasionally. |

Also, Abyss should play AJ's version of Heyman, as Slik said to me "a character that constantly is caught in lies" would be hilarious. Also Who are these kids with baggy black clothes? |

They did the same thing with the IC tournament with not having the Finals be on Backlash and instead did it a couple days earlier on SD's go-home show as a ratings pop move. Assuming they don't do a quick rematch, that would be 3 straight PPVs where the IC belt didn't have a match on the card. |

Watching this now. Retribution angle still seems dumb as shit. Opening video did not help.
Really into this Big E singles run. I like when they have those little boxes in the corner during entrances for promos. |

Tri-branded battle royal has been fun, as battle royals are.
Looks like we'll be seeing Peyton/Billie vs. Ruby/Liv. That'll be neat. |

Still kinda dumb/messy to have all three brands compete for the SD title.
