For these reasons, I'm saying Seth cashes in, most likely on Punk if he wins.

But then again, I'm lousy at predicting these things.

Called it.

Well dirt sheets were right injury was a story.

cdub6238 · 08-02-2025, 08:22 PM

And now it makes sense lol

packman80 · 08-02-2025, 08:22 PM

Well now so we get Rollins and Punk to continue until at least Survivor Series now.

packman80 · 08-02-2025, 08:23 PM

So how long was Punk's title reign 6-7 minutes?

packman80 · 08-02-2025, 08:24 PM

Interesting Bron knee/lower leg heavily tapped up after limping to the back after his match.

natbornkiller · 08-02-2025, 08:24 PM

all we need is mcintired to come out and laugh in his face when he wakes up

I don't understand why you or anyone else thinks this is a work. That match doesn't end in the way that it did if it's a work, and LA Knight's not nearly a good enough actor to act the way he did after winning.

Oops

Will admit they got me I thought it was legit injury when it happened. They sold it really well.

RedLabelRecords · 08-02-2025, 08:26 PM

I’m gonna say it, I hate that HHH was at the White House.

packman80 · 08-02-2025, 08:27 PM

So now do they keep shoving Punk/Rollins at the fans or do they go to Rollins/LA Knight?

I laughed cause it made it sound like he lost 230 pounds since the match was announced…
230 pounds in one month is pretty amazing…

I’m aware of his weight loss journey and it’s awesome, the wording used was just a little off, to me….

packman80 · 08-02-2025, 08:28 PM

Will give CM Punk credit for a guy his age running out there for like 40-45 minutes is impressive.

packman80 · 08-02-2025, 08:29 PM

Need to add one more man to Rollins group then get them to win all the gold.

Cracktoast · 08-02-2025, 08:30 PM

Punk/Gunther was a technical classic too bad it got ruined when they caught Gunther blading under the announce table lol

feels like Punk takes some time off, Gunther is out for a bit with legit injury so yeah, my guess is they run Rollins/LA knight at Clash in Paris

It happens...just thought it was funny how DEFIANT he was about the possibility...and even doubled down when I posted that "dirtsheets" had confirmed it, and several of them...

Ahh ok gotcha, yeah I can see that sounding dumb...honestly I knew he had lost a lot of weight, but had no idea it was THAT much

True.. not only the time...but the man took a legitimate BEATING the entire match

Cracktoast · 08-02-2025, 08:39 PM

Depending on the severity of Breakker's injury they should have Breakker/Reed win the Tag Titles and then set up a War Games match between Rollin's Group/Judgement Day where Balor finally turns heel and they throw Dom out of the group. Then when Liv comes back we get Dom/Liv vs. Balor/Perez. That will run you through Rumble season because December is where storylines go to die usually.

mtr · 08-02-2025, 08:46 PM

Seth cash in was pretty obvious but I thought they executed it well. I think we'll get Rollins group with a new member vs Roman and Friends at Survivor Series and eventually Roman vs Seth. This was the weaker night on paper and it turned out solid so really looking forward to night 2!

cdub6238 · 08-02-2025, 08:53 PM

Ok..now Sam Roberts overtakes the Spanish announce team for worst YEET ever...

Cracktoast · 08-02-2025, 09:04 PM

anyone else notice after the Spanish announce table was destroyed that they replaced it and Cole/Barrett switched desks ?

Don't you mean OVERblading?

mossoholic · 08-02-2025, 09:14 PM

So, what exactly was the point of the Rollins fake injury? How did it help him win the title? Literally would have been the exact same thing only without the throwing down crutches video fake injury or not. Although if you're an LA Knight fan I guess you got screwed out of seeing that match on SummerSlam.

Also didn't Rollins specifically say Punk would never be champion? So why did Rollins let him win the title instead of cashing in during the match? Punk did win the title.

Especially after watching WWE Unreal it seems like for whatever reason HHH likes the Vince Russo style booking of a swerve for swerve's sake and literally no real reason. I guess we will see what happens with Cena tomorrow but pretty hilarious if 5 months of being a heel ends in seconds and it was all for no reason.
