Was it just me, or did everyone's screens go blurry when Gunther chopped Gage? Is that not allowed on tv?

packman80 · 07-12-2025, 09:01 PM

What a garbage ending cut to commerical right away for 3 minutes to come back for 30 seconds?

Same for me, I assumed it was just a random blip. He's over 18, so I can't imagine what would cause them to censor it.

Cracktoast · 07-12-2025, 09:01 PM

Then they randomly come back to Goldberg standing in the ring for his farewell speech and cut him off halfway through LOL

I can see it now. Jelly Roll wins it with a....sigh....rollup.

packman80 · 07-12-2025, 09:08 PM

The Saturday Night Main Events they have held haven been god awful. A regular Raw or Smackdown have been better then the SNME they have put on.

packman80 · 07-12-2025, 09:15 PM

See reports on social media Rollins is legit hurt. If it's a serious knee injury to keep him out months do they move the MITB case off him? If it's a ACL that is going to keep Rollins out 9-12 months would love to see were Rollins gives the case to Bron and Bron cashes in soon to become champ.

packman80 · 07-12-2025, 09:24 PM

Does HHH now call Brock and say we need you back.

Cracktoast · 07-12-2025, 09:34 PM

I personally would just have the brief case expire if Rollins can't cash in by MITB next year. Gives real meaning to the terms of winning it instead of just handing it the some random person just because. It sucks but it is what it is. If they want to put the title on Breaker they don't need the briefcase to do that. Biggest question is do they now roll Reigns over to the Solo/Jacob feud or do they just keep him off tv and let him make movies until Cody gets the title back ?

Guess we have to see the injury. Maybe he got lucky like Miz did years back sprained his MCL and out for a couple months.

packman80 · 07-12-2025, 09:39 PM

Report out Rollins was supposed to beat LA Knight. So I am guessing Rollins made the call say instead of ending on injury I will get up LA Knight hits me with a BFT right away and one two three so Knight can get a rub off me.

Lololol. Thanks I needed the laugh

JustinVerlander07 · 07-12-2025, 10:46 PM

If Rollins is legit hurt and out for a while, I don't know what they're going to do because it appears their main stories going for the next 4-6 months on RAW entirely centered around him. Wonder where Reigns falls story wise as well. If it's a long injury their best play is to give Breakker the briefcase, drop Reed and let Heyman be Breakker's wiseman.

packman80 · 07-13-2025, 08:15 AM

If you are WWE if Rollins is out long term do you try to keep him on a TV role as the leader of his group or fold the group and let him stay at home while he rehabs?

Also is this the same knee he hurt years back or is it the other knee?

packman80 · 07-13-2025, 08:32 AM

Though want to bring up fact that poor Charles Robinson has been killed the last 2 PLE's. Guy needs to be getting a bonus check for the hit's he's taking LOL

jmarascojr · 07-13-2025, 09:50 AM

If anything, Rollins' injury made things interesting last night, cause all the posts I kept seeing on social media were about if it was a work or not.

Otherwise, the show was a bust and nobody seemed to have interest in it, more people seemed to be talking about AEW...

It is gonna be really interesting to see how they handle Cena's last match, cause outside of HHH's 3 hour HOF speech, legends have really been getting shizzed on on their way out (see Kurt Angle's last match, see Edge's run with JD, see Goldberg's speech cut short)

As for Rollins, I'd have him keep the briefcase, it'll add to the mystery of when is he gonna come back and when is he gonna cash in.
But I'd be also be OK with him giving it to Breakker, Breakker beating Gunther and then Set having to fight Breakker for the belt when he returns.

Cracktoast · 07-13-2025, 09:54 AM

Speaking of Cena a new report just came out that his final match will be against Gunther in Boston unless something changes. They had Gunther retire Goldberg could they be doing a " Legend Killer 2.0 " with Gunther ?

That said I don't how how reliable or unreliable WRKD Wrestling is but is for sure interesting.

Quote:

According to WRKD Wrestling, Gunther is currently scheduled to be Cena’s final opponent. Tweeting out the following message following Saturday Night’s Main Event this evening:

“Goldberg isn’t the last person that Gunther hopes to retire. Gunther is currently planned as John Cena’s final opponent,” WRKD Wrestling said in a post.

Reports have suggested that Cena’s final match will take place in Boston. This would be very similar to Goldberg’s final match taking place tonight in Atlanta. The common thread of Gunther being the one to retire both men is certainly an interesting angle.

I would have really liked to see them get Rock to get off his ass and do the final match against Cena..

packman80 · 07-13-2025, 10:19 AM

With Seth hurt now and out for how long of time wonder if the WWE might consider bringing up Ethan Page. There was talk he could have joined Seth's group and now with Seth out add Page and then when Seth comes back have them do a Edge/Judgement Day were they turn on Seth saying they don't need him they are better then him.

JustinVerlander07 · 07-13-2025, 06:03 PM

Is tonight Iyo Sky's first title defense since Wrestlemania?

I know people give Meltzer a hard time, rightfully so...but he said he had 1 source he 100% completely trusted tell him it was just a work and knew about it since Thursday I think...but he said thay was the only person to say that...everyone else said it was legit

And judging by tonight, it's either 100% legit or he deserves an Oscar...because apparently he's backstage at Evo 2 in a knee brave and crutches and people are saying he legit "looks in bad shape:

If it's a work LA Knight needs to go to Hollywood because his reaction to winning the match certainly seemed like he wasn't planned to win.

Also would be weird if it's it's a work to have Rollins lose clean to Knight regardless in the fashion it happened.

JustinVerlander07 · 07-13-2025, 07:08 PM

Flair/Bliss seem like they're winning the tag titles. The pairing oddly works. (Or one turns on the other and they feud)

JustinVerlander07 · 07-13-2025, 07:23 PM

Tag match really good. The Bliss/Flair dynamic is super interesting to me. Lotta chemistry there. Can't say I'm a fan of Perez, she just seems really annoying (So I suppose she's doing her job)

JustinVerlander07 · 07-13-2025, 08:39 PM

Evolution has been great. Vaquer is an absolute star.
