    Just give me Mauro Ranallo invading the broadcast table to give him the ultimate revenge for him being kicked off SD however many years ago.

    Wow, Cole beat Bryan clean.

    Great match.

    Also, I like how Ciampa isn’t clapping. He’s not happy with UE.

    You know, I think they need to take extra precaution getting the main roster home. Even if it takes them until, say, 11:05 Monday night to do it.

    Heck, after what they’ve been through the last couple of days, I think they deserve a few days off.

    Damn, tonight was entertaining. I kinda hope they do a Network special on how they prepared for this.

    I mean, if they need to put them on some ships and it takes two, three weeks, they really need to just do whatever it takes to be safe.

    That was a great show. Clever way to introduce NXT. I imagine with Survivor Series this was coming, but not on that level.

    When Raw/Smackdown strike back, it’ll be very interesting to see if they have any stars big enough to goose the Wednesday night rating go to Full Sail.

    Interesting rumors going around about the Saudi stuff. One is that the Saudis didn’t pay The E for the second show and weren’t paying for this one either, so Vince had the TV feed for Saudi Arabia cut off at the start. Fans in that country may have seen the show delayed instead of live.

    And rumor is, the Saudis were pissed off, so they ordered the plane held. There’s also some talk out there about The E’s financial reports and whether the Saudi money is reflected in it, which could call into question whether the E is being honest with its investors.

    Meltzer also tweeted that the E is asking the wrestlers for video on the plane in order to show the mechanical issue, which he thinks is strange. All in all, there’s a lot of intrigue right now. I don’t think we’ll be hearing the last of this for a while.

    Remember three days ago when we got one of the freshest and hottest shows WWE has put on in ages?

    Tonight, we have Bobby Lashley's torn groin and the invasion of a couple B-level NXT guys alongside the UE.

    Since Adam Cole has been battling an injured wrist/hand, what are the chances Rollins actually wins the NXT title, and perhaps Cole gets beaten down by the Era.

    Dio Madden is freaking huge. Look at him standing next to Lesnar.

    I wonder if he got hurt/concussions at the PC. You’d have to be pretty uncoordinated/unathletic to get sent to the announce desk when you’re that big. Sheesh.
