    Nice sendoff. Bron may really be one of the brightest talents in WWE -- not only for his insane physical skills, but for making Baron freakin' Corbin into a fan favorite.

    We all know sky's the limit for Bron, but I'm curious what comes of Corbin next, and if they want to try him as a face back on the main roster.

    I thought he had potential as a sympathetic face with the Bum-Ass Corbin thing to build himself up as an underdog, but they killed it and turned him Happy, which was just weird.

    Well, they showed the actual footage of Punk/Perry, and Punk did throw the first move.

    The Bucks just turned it in their favor by claiming it distracted them in their loss to FTR at Wembley.

    I can’t believe they showed the actual footage of Punk-Perry.

    It got crickets in the arena, but I think they silenced the crowd audio while they were in the Bucks' room. And Schiavone looked quite pissed and/or upset.

    I’m more impressed with FTR’s promo than with the Punk footage.

    He also got in Tony Khan's face, enough so that you can see where TK felt physically threatened.
    Still not sure it's a good look for the company, but I guess it does put some rumors to rest.

    And, back to the E for a second. Here’s Gorilla and Jesse calling Cody’s win.

    Now Ospreay responding to HHH’s “afraid of the grind” comment.

    This has been a rough show. The mess around the Wembley footage, shaky camera work (is the cameraman using a zoom button for the first time?) and Jericho continues to leech off young talents like Hook.

    No body in AEW looks good for this.

    if the Bucks beat FTR its all politcs and they’re Punks friends non-sense. And one of the FTR guys is facing gun charges. Talk about having no one to root for
