He's really setting a high bar there!

 

It would be kind of funny if Dominic and Rhea Ripley started having a storyline romance, a couple years after they teased a romance angle with his sister Aalyah and Buddy (Matthews) Murphy. Of course, the punchline to that would be that Ripley and Buddy are now a real-life couple.

 

The Latino wrestler wooing the resident amazon on the roster? Would never work.

 

Finally got a chance to watch Gunther and Sheamus. Those hits from both guys made ME wince.

Been a long time (ever?) that Sheamus was involved in arguably the match of the night.

 

Sammy Guevara and him being struck by various vehicles will never get old.

 

Tony actually licenses the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil" (Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name) as a mystery man gets the future title shot.

Is Stokely's group MJF's new stable? Morrissey is the heavy (Wardlow), the Gunns are the tag team (FTR), Ethan Page is the right-hand man (Spears), Stokely is the manager (Tully).

 

Nicholas has NOTHING on this five-star special.

 

Longform storytelling at its best. And an MJF chant in Chicago when Punk's in the ring as the newly crowned world champion? The thing of legend.

 

Can't wait until, 10 or 15 years down the road, we finally get the full back story on all of this. Not sure any of it is going to be believable, though.

 

Sweet Jesus. Punk went scorched earth in the media scrum after All Out.

Some might be a work, but given recent events and the overall tone of the interview session it sure seems like he was shooting for about 20 full minutes. All while dropping about 450 F-bombs.
His interview session starts at 24:30.

 

I just saw a 2-minute excerpt elsewhere on Twitter, and that was enough for me to say "WTF is going on over there?"

 

Here's the full MJF return.
