If this is any indication of how the rest of the night is going to go I might as well tune out now. We all ready know how the mixed tag team is going to go. They didn't bring AJ back to lose, plus they have to cater to the Punk humpers. I could be wrong but at least I didn't have to pay for this mess.

The rest of the show could prove me completely wrong though.

5 minutes of the stupid YEET entrance.

marl1220 · 09-20-2025, 06:54 PM

WWE's announcement to the fans. Not only are we going to platform that is going to charge you more. We're also going to give you a GIANT MIDDLE FINGER for one of the biggest stars of all time as he makes his way out the door. I don't make a living by writing wrestling scripts but I sure as sh#t could have done a better job than the current writers/clowns did.

packman80 · 09-20-2025, 07:13 PM

Jey busted himself open with the chair?

cdub6238 · 09-20-2025, 07:22 PM

Well...been watching NCAA...thought i was good with Comcast, since i have the Espn app on my tv..

Just say it in remote...and it pops up...with an even slower load than Netflix...

Come to find out...I have to "upgrade" to watch..

Oh well..good luck with this extortion WWE

CRINGE!!!!!

packman80 · 09-20-2025, 09:27 PM

So wonder how much of a say ESPN had in WWE keep having to show Tyrese Haliburtion during the PLE then putting him on the post show.

Jaypers · 09-20-2025, 09:36 PM

Who needs Mickie James in the HOF when we have wrestling icon Stephanie McMahon?

packman80 · 09-20-2025, 11:22 PM

Hearing that Jey besides busting himself open with the chair they were worried he gave himself a concussion so they rushed the match end to get it done and check on him?

Watching the clip on youtube right after the chair spot you could clearly hear Knight tell Breakker to just spear him

Cracktoast · 09-21-2025, 12:43 AM

So next PLE is Crown Jewel in Australia then Survivor Series. So no HIAC I guess which was usually the October main roster PLE. Wonder if TKO/ESPN decided against a PLE known for violence.

Cena only has 4 or 5 appearences left so I expect him to be off tv for an extended amount of time to play up his beat down. You know at least 3 of those will likely be the buildup for his final match.

I watched it a couple times with my wife and we both agreed that it actually looked like him and Breakker accidentally headbutted each other when he was going in for the chair spot. Rough.

RedLabelRecords · 09-21-2025, 09:55 AM

Big question in…. How many of you signed up for the espn app to watch the PLE??

thenightman · 09-21-2025, 10:16 AM

I didn't. I love watching WWE, but not for $360 a year for an app I'm going to use 15ish times a year.

Dacubs2 · 09-21-2025, 11:31 AM

Nope, didn't sign up and cancelling peacock as well,

I'll catch the highlights on YouTube afterwards

duwal · 09-21-2025, 11:48 AM

I cancelled cable a handful of years back but haven't really missed anything since so much of the main content they post on Youtube. A lot of WWE back when I had cable was a lot of wasteful gap time or matches I didn't care about.

no10pin · 09-21-2025, 11:52 AM

We switched to Hulu Live so I had it already, and I was going to do it also for NFL Red Zone anyway.

The picture was clear for me, definitely an upgrade from Peacock in my experience. I also liked that I was able to start from the beginning at 9pm central when I got home.

According to Wikipedia:

Hell in a Cell was then discontinued after the 2022 event and its slot was replaced by the resurrected Night of Champions event.

So that would be a no to ESPN cause. Concept as a PPV was dumb anyway, should be a big match on a regular PLE not a whole event, then while it is ok imo on Elimination Chamber, if you have non-HIAC matches it’s also dumb when the event is called HIAC. TLC was special as it happened on big events and wasn’t that common, since all these became their own event how many have stood out from the pack like the old ones?

JustinVerlander07 · 09-21-2025, 05:25 PM

Catching up on the PLE. Baffling decisions with the first two matches. To have the match Cena/Lesnar had with him squashing Cena is bizarre. Just don't understand it.

Not totally surprised to see Bron/Bronson win, but Jey taking the pin and not Jimmy? Again, a bizarre decision.

Not surprised Vaquer won, the match was fine, but her momentum isn't there at all right now.

JustinVerlander07 · 09-21-2025, 05:29 PM

Also, I think LA Knight/Jey Uso beef leads to a LA Knight heel turn. He (Knight) feels kinda dead in the water as a babyface.

Not that she isn't deserving of a spot.. eventually..

But..

Victoria...Jazz...Gail Kim...Mickie James...Chyna.. like, actual wrestlers...

Or..Miss Elizabeth..

I mean I guess when your married to the boss it helps

It was a nice moment though, seeing her emotional in real time

Steph was a major character who IMO played a bigger role in the WWF/WWE then any of those other women did

We all know why Chyna individually isn't in the HOF, but as for the first 4 you listed, you really think they are more deserving than Stephanie? I strongly disagree.

Like I said..she deserves to get in..eventually

She was basically a female, Eric Bischoff lite..

I'd rather have people that actually busted their asses night in and out on the road in the ring, than just being a personality- even if a deserving and talented one- get "acknowledged first

Not that it really matters much..when Michelle McCool and the Bellas have already been inducted
