    I watched it back, it's still baffles me how the simplest move that a wrestler has done a million times can result in a injury. Yet, Darby Allin doing a crazy spot will finish the match, and be on the next episode of Dynamite like nothing happened. Hate it for Zoey, it just seemed they didn't know what to do with her even when she was paired with Trish and that went nowhere.

      That's usually how it goes. But also goes to show you how fine the line is when competing.

      Something goes even 1% wrong could spell disaster, even if it's something someone's done so often.

      It's like when Rollins got hurt doing that sunset flip move in the corner. He's done it hundreds of times before and hundreds of times since, but it's just that one moment where it didn't go 100% perfect on the landing and that blew out his knee.

        Yeah. I think knowing she was going to miss because their timing was off, Zoey just tried to bail on it instead of still taking an otherwise normal dropkick bump. A split-second reaction on her part that ended in disaster for her knee.

          I definitely feel bad for Zoey, even though I hated Pure Fusion Collective. I hope she can come back from it.

            I could see this being the end for her.

            Given we just saw releases like Dakota, Cora and others who just came back from injuries, Zoey being hit with an injury which could sideline her for months, and her spot on the card wasn't exactly safe to begin with seeing how the rest of PFC got released already, that could spell the end for her.

                Luckily Indi is in TNA and the partnership makes it easy for a reunion, but then there's Austin Theory. If he keeps getting face reactions, it's unlikely they would just randomly move him to SD to reunite The Way but we'll see.

                  So two more Money In The Bank Qualifying matches announced for Smackdown next week.... Jacob Fatu/Carmelo Hayes/Andrade and for the Women, Nia Jax/Jade Cargill/Naomi. Clearly Jacob Fatu is moving on and winning his qualifying match so they continue the story with Solo. That Women's match though, oh man. Any one of them could be in it and all three deserve to be in it if you ask me.

                    Can we stop going to these towns!?

                    R-Truth with a promo in the ring and it gets ruined with non stop WHAT chants.


                    Fatu: I love you Solo
                    *Fatu walks away*
                    Solo: He hasn't said that in 6 months!

                    I know they've done this serious Solo for so long, but he always has moments that show the comedic side/shows he's the 3rd Uso.

                    Theory being the "lovable goof" worked so well for him. I don't get this SLOW burn between him and Theory when it doesn't even seem to be leading to anything impactful. He's only 27, there's still so much they can do with him.

                    The gimmick he has now, the gimmick even AEW gave to Sammy Guevara, it just doesn't work out well to take someone seriously or have people behind them as much.

                        How appropoate.... on Bray Wyatt's Birthday no less. The Wyatt Sick6 returned taking out the Tag Division, and Bo with an amazing gesture of blowing out a birthday candle on a Birthday Cake in honor of his brother. I really hope WWE does something with them this time, seems just like Vince, Triple H didn't know how to do the spooky stuff. We'll see this time.

                          The thing is. What the hell can you do with them?

                            Two Men's MITB Qualifiers announced for RAW tonight........

                            - Seth Rollins vs Sami Zayn vs Finn Balor

                            - Penta vs Chad Gable vs Dragon Lee

                            Really feels like Seth & Penta are the winners here, but because Seth is in a feud with Sami & Punk, I could see Punk preventing Seth from winning allowing Finn Balor to pin Sami and advance to MITB.

                              I have missed Liv Morgan on my TV... so glad she is back. Also Finn's face when Liv walked in trying to figure out what was happening and why Roxanne was in the Clubhouse. Finn knows exactly what he is doing lol.

                                Really great show tonight. Seth's promo to start was excellent. Should have said you people should be loving me, I *am* the one who's the true wrestler. I've never left the company, I'm not a part time wrestler, etc and THEN mentioned that fans keep chanting my song, etc.

                                Would have been perfect.
