I'll be working but I will go back and at least watch Cena vs Punk. Kross/Zayn is a replacement match, Rhea/Raquel is filler. I'd be stunned if Orton beat Cody (though I do think this match foreshadows a future feud between the two), Jade vs Asuka is meh, so yea I'd agree with you my care level isn't high here (given it's a PLE with some real stakes involved)

[packman80]

Saudi crowd annoying trying even to hijack preshow with stupid chant after stupid chant.

[packman80]

Like that we got a ring for a PLE that is not covered in sponsor ad's all over the ring. Only one big one in middle of ring.

[packman80]

Hopefully Orton turns heel and costs Cody at SummerSlam for the title.

Probably because it's just a throw away PLE...everyone knows the outcomes, except for Sami/Kross could go either way

Just tuned in myself to get caught up, so I can skip the filler lol

[packman80]

We all knew Sami would not lose in Saudi but they need to run this back. Kross needs a win you just end it now you might as well release Kross now because he has no future in WWE otherwise.

I like Kross..his character work and personality is awesome..he's more of a "plodding/brute" in the ring, bit that's not a bad thing..

He's been fumbled terribly imo

Has he even won a feud since being brought back??

They brought back AoP, did absolutely nothing with them, released them, and he's been floundering since

Only thing you can say he maybe won is the Wyatt Sick but that they just seemed to end after Bo got hurt and they put the entire Wyatt's on the shelf.

AJ Styles was a throw away that did nothing for either man and seems the same thing with Sami now.

[packman80]

Is this Soman bloodline garbage ever going to end.

[packman80]

Jade still can't wrestle unless someone good drags her thru a match.

[packman80]

fans trying to hijack match with stupid ole soccer chants. More dumb then YEET.

[cdub6238]

Omg omg do you know who that is?? DO YOU KNOW WHO THAT IS!!! HES ALMOST 7 FT TALL!!

again..I get why the announcers do this, but is dumb af imo...

And lol at the almost 7ft tall line...Hikuleo is listed at 6'8 lol

[packman80]

Cena slowly turning back face

Did they ever even say his name, cause I don't think they did, so tell us who it is

Have a feeling that Cody is gonna turn heel at SummerSlam, get the belt back from Cena and that begins Cena's face turn for the rest of the year...

The patent has come through yet but you can bet it will be goofy as hell like Bill Cosby Tonga or The Incredible Hulk Loa. Although it will never be as bad as JC " I used to be in a boy band " Cobb.

[cdub6238]

So..Super Punk kicks out of..4 AA's, while Cena is lights out after 2 GTS'..

Cena no doubt going face again, soon

Aftermath shenanigans were fine, setting up/continuing angles..

Also..I guess Penta studied the Hardys approach of helping someone in a beatdown...hold on, lemme get my entrance in and walk down the ramp lol

Nah feels more like Orton will turn heel and screw Cody maybe attack him after the match and Cena stops Orton helping the face turn back more.

[Cracktoast]

Being reported that Hikuleo will be known as Tala Tonga going forward

It's officially "Tala Tonga".

You'd think they'd give him a name that isn't as close to Tama's.

[marl1220]

All I know is that I'm thankful Punk didn't get the belt.

Well, I've been out all day. I just got home, put on Peacock, was about to watch NOC and noticed they had Horrible Bosses 2 up. So, I'm watching that.

[Cracktoast]

So who helps out Jacob now?

Roman is clearly coming back with his own crew to fight with Rollins and his crew. I don't see Roman getting involved in the bloodline stuff right off the bat. I guess you got Jimmy and if rumors are true that Jay is not going to be pushed anymore as a singles wrestler I guess you could put him back together with his brother. But still feels like they need one more member not named Sami Zayne.

[SteigerWRX]

I'm gonna ask what is likely a dumb question. Just finished the show, watching the post show now. Currently Rhea Ripley is on being interviewed, and she's wearing a short sleeve shirt (most of her arms showing) and covered in tattoos. Why are the female wrestlers required to be fully covered when performing, but allowed to have some skin and tattoos showing when still in the arena, just doing an interview?

Sami would be fine. How many more Soman's does the WWE need to add to the roster?
