let's be honest:

if the main event of Raw or Smackdown went like the end of Dynamite did, wrestling twitter would have hated it

I love chaotic endings like that...reminds me of WCW...but yes you are 100% right.

Their goal needs to be to stay over 1M the rest of the year. Gotta make sure that's a base and not a pop.

What does raw do every week?

I'll take the potential of AEW over the same old tired crap that raw does every week any day of the week.

Just a reminder that the next PPV is this Saturday.

I will post the card and matchup Saturday morning, since won't be set until tomorrow Smackdown for Hell in a Cell.

Here is where we sit. Good luck.

Pay per View/Events .. winning an Event gets you 1 pt. winning Wrestlemania gets you 2 pts.
Summer Slam - Geralt
King of the Ring - Ambres
Clash of Champions - Bunk
Hell in a Cell -
Survivor Series -
Royal Rumble -
Wrestlemania -

Oh.. btw if you haven't seen.. looks like CM Punk might be rejoining WWE in some capacity. https://rajah.com/node/cm-punkfox-deal-wwe-backstage-reportedly-done-punk-comments

I'm taking this one ambres!!

The biggest takeaway from the ratings is 878,000 viewers in their key demo. A really good start for AEW. I read somewhere that it was the biggest premiere on TNT in like 5 years I think

Also regarding the CM Punk stuff..this is the most talk I've seen about his potential return since a few weeks after he left when he was supposed to show up at that Chicago show...which I believe is discussed if you go to page 1 of this thread lol...

I would genuinely be surprised if he shows up on smackdown...but could totally see him doing the Fox show....we shall see.

This was a fun read and a good crossover article for this thread:

Roddy Piper...I'll take it

Pretty reliable source

Big if true.

I just saw the new Smackdown stage. The Smackdown fist did not come back. But it's better than Raw's stage.

The stage is badass.

Is there anybody more entertaining than The Rock

Great way to kick off Smackdown!

Great opener for the show.

I freaking love the stage.

Lesnar is a champion again.

So lame. Yeah, let Brock win it again, cause he'll never be on the show.

Welcome to the WWE, Cain Velasquez.

Okay I was NOT expecting that.

also...

So Vince decides to bury Kofi after signing Cain into a contract and immediately put him in an angle with Lesnar.

Garbage ending to a good show. Way to **** on Kofi. And do we really need another UFC has been who can't wrestle in WWE?

Well that's one way to get people talking about the new show...

I wonder if Brock winning was a request from Fox. He's a much bigger name to casual fans, so he can get people tuning in for the first few weeks

I feel like it woulda made more sense for Cain to cost Brock the match instead of debuting after he squashed Kofi in one move
