2021 Pro Wrestling Thread

What happened with Sasha? I didn't see anything today mentioning an injury or another situation.

 

She was MIA from Smackdown and some house shows, too. Wouldn't be shocked if it was COVID.

Love seeing Becky back -- but that ending?

 

Yeah, same here. Awesome seeing her back, but it also shows the difference between WWE and AEW. When Punk returned, the announcers didn’t say anything for a couple of minutes and let us hear the pop, and let his entrance breathe. WWE has Cole screaming three seconds in, and continually. Annoying as hell.

That ending sucked. The backstory should be interesting. Where’s Sasha? Did they have to do that ending with nearly zero notice? Is Becky able to have a full-blown match yet?

Ar least they gave Bianca a chance to nod her head and indicate now she knows what Becky’s willing to do. The feud should be fun.

 

There's also no storyline reason she should be following the blue belt, because it was the red one she relinquished. But of course, it's only because Seth is over there, too.

 

Before it gets forgotten, that backflip off the apron into a reverse DDT that AJ Styles broke out during the Raw tag title match was pretty fuckin' cool.

 

So far, the Usos are the only champs to retain. Now it's down to the two big belts, which I can't really see switching -- unless we see a Big E cash-in..

 

I missed the pre-show. Did he get his briefcase back?

 

He beat Corbin in a quick match.

Interesting -- with Rollins/Edge going now, they're going with both title matches back-to-back. Is there something I'm missing to buffer the two?

 

Nice. Love the hybrid Brood/You Think You Know Me entrance.

 

Yeah, that was great.

Match told a good story and the last few minutes were a lot of fun.

 

Interesting commercial there for the 2022 Money in the Bank PPV at Allegiant Stadium. If they're turning it into a stadium show, and on a holiday weekend no less, does that mean they now have a "Big Five" PPV list?

 

I was thinking the same thing. Seems like a waste, unless WWE got some buy-one-get-one deal with Allegiant Stadium.
