    Then again, even that could be a serious one. Look at Adam Cole. Just jumping off the ramp while running and that blew out his knee when at first it just looked like he might have pulled something.

    Just talking about what happened to Darby in the AEW Off Topic thread, it's amazing how wrestlers do insane spots and never get hurt but it's the things they probably have done a thousand times over that results in a major injury. I feel like that is the case for all these recent injuries we have seen over the past few years. A bunch of freak accidents that end up being major injuries.

    I was reading Bayley did cut a post show promo in the backstage area that WWE posted on their Twitter so she seems fine, while fans said Asuka looked ok as well.

      I remember an MVP quote from years back when he's talking about taking bumps and explaining it like being in car crashes every night. But despite that, getting something like a papercut hurts so much more (in the moment).

      That's basically like those injuries. It's not the crazy bumps you see, it's the most random thing that causes it.

        I marked out. Hearing the Hollywood Rock theme. Mixed in beautifully with the other theme. My gawd. Rock was awesome out there. This has truly felt like the old Rock we used to enjoyed seeing. I didn't like his persona mixed in with Dwyane. But this one we been seeing. Yes. Felt like the one we used to enjoy booing and cheering. Thats exactly what happened with the Memphis crowd. They cheered for him. But I am sure thats because Rock started his career there so it makes sense. But yeah. His concert was pretty good and made both babyfaces looked bad. Still not sure if Cody crying in his promo was the right call.

        Singles match between Bayley and Dakota Kai was the main event of the show. Not sure about that either but this has backstory so I can understand why. But the finish to the match. I dont know. Naomi coming out to help made sense as well since she had an interaction with Bianca the previous week about Bayley. The rest of the show was okay.

          Cody arriving to Raw with his own family!

          Pharaoh is here!

          Funny bandana, but imagine if Cody got the clearance to have a "The Rock is a P___sy...Cat" bandana instead. Works on multiple levels.

            The tag title qualifiers confuse me.

            Last week on SD we saw matches where the winner advanced to the next round where the winner of that qualifies for the WM tag match.

            Today we just see DIY vs Creeds and winner goes to WM?


            Speaking of tag teams, that'll be an interesting WWE Rivals next week. Dudleys vs E&C vs Hardys. Meanwhile 4 of those 6 are in AEW, but guessing this was filmed before Edge and maybe others went to AEW?

            "I almost tore my ACL when I yeeted all over myself."

            If Gunther is gonna retain, they should just add Gable to it to please everyone going into it.

              Everyone praising this continuous shot following Sami to the back and right into the Miz & Truth. No Camera cuts.... so glad Kevin Dunn is gone!

                Lots of cool shots we've seen since Dunn left.

                Some are better, some are just different. Either way, the latter is the main part. Different goes a long way. Sometimes all you need is a different presentation or camera angle and it makes things look fresher.

                  Is Cody fighting Roman.....? Or is it Rock?

                  Maybe they are just laying groundwork for Roman to get pissed that Rock is outshining or something. Cuz it feels like the main event is Cody vs Rock.

                      This feels like Cena vs Miz where the entire feud was revolving around Cena and Rock.

                      But it definitely has to be done to set up some issues with Rock and Reigns.

                      Even with the stipulation on SD where Cody comes alone and Reigns comes alone (with Heyman), I wouldn't be surprised if Rock still showed up unannounced.

                        Gable needs to pull a Daniel Bryan and win his way into the IC Championship Match and make it a Triple Threat. Then Gunther gets a stipulation added that Sami and Chad can only win the match by pinning him, they can't pin each other. Forcing Chad and Sami to fight over who will pin him, allowing Gunther to take advantage and retain.

                        Or Gable wins his way into the match but it becomes a Triple Threat Elimination Match. Chad pins Sami eliminating him to ensure it comes down to him and Gunther. Gable wins.

                          Bayley is now the female John Cena while Iyo (and Damage Control) has turned into AJ Styles (and the Club/OC). [emoji1][emoji1][emoji1][emoji1]

                            Speaking of Bayley, it is so refreshing to see them do what they did with Drew & Jey with Bayley & Bianca. This has to be my favorite thing about Triple H's booking, it was always weird how superstars suddenly became friends and acted like they weren't trying to kill each other the previous month just because their face/heel alliance changed. Poor Naomi being stuck in the middle because she wasn't here when Damage Ctrl formed and wants peace between Bayley and Bianca.

                              I love the way that minus the two slaps there hasn't been any physicality yet with Cody and The Rock/Reigns. Reigns is at his best when he's doing a promo where he's just calmly tearing in to his opponent like last night, no yelling or screaming.

                                Triple H: So I'm going to ask you to not go over your time tonight. In fact make it quick and to point. Cool?

                                Rock:

                                Arrive

                                Whispers

                                Leave.
