Xavier Woods to AEW!

 

And he still made the 3 count!

 

I've been enjoying Pat McAfee's work with WWE, and this is priceless. He needs to be made into a manager.

 

A nice cross between Roddy Piper and Paul Heyman with a dash of Bobby Heenan.

 

Man, I hope they decide to stick around. Would suck to see them go.

 

No Daniel Bryan has me slightly worried.

 

Can we just end the Shane McMahon-Miz crap? Miz deserves more than that feud to continue another six months.

 

Now that I think of it, last night’s episode illustrates a lot of what is wrong with the E these days. They rush everything and it lacks nuance.

Take last night’s MITB segment. They just randomly announce the four guys, they bicker, then a tag match is set up that’s supposed to illustrate the supposed tension because they all can’t get along. Here’s the thing: This should have been next week’s episode.

Instead, have qualifying matches this week, which not only explains why these four got in the match, but also sets things up. Have Alexa give Braun a bye for winning the Andre, which also is a callback to their tag team. Have Ricochet and Cesaro put on a classic. Have Alexander be the plucky underdog and give McIntyre all he can handle. Have Corbin Beat Miz after interference from Lashley, which sets up next week’s Miz TV that ran this week, and then have Lashley explain that he did it in exchange for opportunities from Shane in the future. You know, kill two storylines with one stone. It is allowed, WWE.

Now there’s actual reasons why these four are in the match, the Miz/Shane feud gets enhanced, Lashley now has a reason to attack Miz and Alexa and Braun get to make cute googly eyes at each other.

 

And just how Lashley got on Miz's case for losing at Mania. Miz kicked Shane's ass all over the stadium and suplexed him off a 15-foot platform.

Lashley got squashed by a guy 100 pounds less than him wearing "magical" face paint.

 

Not sure we will learn anything knew, but this could be really good.
