Went to NXT.

Got a double high five from Bayley and did the Too Sweet bump with Finn.

Wrestling is fun. That's Joe and Aries vs Finn and Nakamura, which is a ridiculous amount of talent in one ring.

Austin Aries was awesome in TNA and still looks good.

Had an even better one at WCPW tonight.

Great show, and a red hot crowd. They said the show was PG, and if show they're going to have to mute every other chant. One match was 10 minutes of nothing but paedophile related chanting.

It'll air on their Youtube as the equivalent of a PPV, the big show at the end of the weekly series they taped yesterday, so they asked no one post spoilers, so here's some unspoilery thoughts.

Joe Coffey is the fucking man, and his no DQ match with Primate was amazing. He's probably going to wrestle Kurt Angle in ICW, which will be incredible.

Primate, on the other hand, is a bit of a prick. Spat fake blood like HHH does with water all over the front row, then just straight spat at a guy. I was JUST outside of the people who got hit, would have been pissed if it was me. Great heel work.

Noam Dar vs Jay Lethal for Lethal's ROH Championship was the best pure wrestling match of the night. Crowd split down the middle between the two guys, and I jumped out of my seat at some of the false finishes. Noam is in WWE's cruiserweight classic later this year, so get that watched, because he's something special.

Joe Hendry did a song and scolded the crowd for swearing.

Biggest criticism would be the stuff with the Whatculture personalities themselves. They were SUPER over, but I don't get it. Didn't give a fuck about them. They're not bad or anything, I just wouldn't mark out for some lads from Youtube.

Thankfully only really got involved with the main event. Pacitti cut a promo at the opening, and Susie (looking fucking amazing in all black heel gear) accompanied Primate to the ring, but other than that they only showed up for Ramage vs Damo.

I'm keeping myself away from every type of spoilers so i skipped this but I only have one question, did Sandow wrestle or did he only like, appear to set-up a future match?

This should be the last Smackdown before the brand split. It was a two hour commercial for Money in the Bank. I want Jericho to finally win it, but looks like he won't. They are going to let stupid Ambrose win it. Not sure if he needs a new gimmick, or he is just boring. Maybe both?

Prince Aseem vs Gabriel Kid. Had never heard of either of them, but people kept making jokes about "touching the kid" which lead into various nonce related chants.

He's not debuting until their July tapings. They did a full day of tapings on the 15th which will air as their weekly show, and then this one I was at on the 16th will air by itself as the PPV at the end of it. They're doing the same again in July, and that's when Sandow will debut. They announced Will Osprey will be there too.

Jerry Lawler got into a domestic dispute and WWE suspended him.

I wonder how long this will last. Is The King going to get the Hogan treatment? Will he ever get to put his educated feet to good use in Vince's company again?

They could bring Hogan and Lawler back at the same time. It might make it less awkward than bringing them back separate.

Lawler always rubbed me the wrong way. I like the one announcer that has the deep voice and tells us what the moves are by name. It brings a better feel to the show. He isn't on often but his announcing is a real treat.

If someone can tell me his name that would be good

There are many announcers, but do you mean JBL?

There could use an older wrestler to replace Lawler.

He's fantastic. Best in the business at the minute.

Money in the Bank tomorrow. Who is buying it? Anybody get the WWE network, so they could watch it for free?

Yes! That's the guy! This has been bothering me for months.

I agree so much, he is the best by far. I really hope he replaces Lawler.

That'd be tricky, as it'd make the Smackdown commentary team Byron Saxton, Mauro Ranallo, and Mauro Ranallo.

Unless you can clone him I'm not sure it'd work.

They would do that to many others before him. When the big names get hurt, just bring in the clone. Cena, Rollins, Reigns, etc.

This Cena vs AJ match is really decent so far, AJ countering every step of the 5 moves of doom, probably ends with a Cena win because the WWE hates outside grown talent, but the match is very well put on thus far.

It's happening, folks.
SummerSlam triple threat main event with all 3 of them incoming.

Yup, called it.
Ambrose cashing-in right after Seth won it fair and square was utter trash, though. At least I would've thought they'd make Dean cash-in mid-match like Rollins had done at WM31.

No, Ambrose sticking it to Rollins is perfect. He promised to always be their to ruin anything good that came Rollins' way. They've been pretty consistent with it too, like how they put Dean through a ladder at WM31 so he was too injured to interupt the cash in. Stealing his moment is the perfect "fuck you" for destroying The Shield.

Triple threat at SummerSlam as previously stated, Roman will bitch that he can't have a meaningful rematch with Seth because Seth no longer has the title, and Seth is owed a rematch with Ambrose.

If they can work the Bullet Club into ruining the triple threat match and force a Shield reunion that would be very interesting, and fitting; the Shield debuted at SummerSlam and screwed the finish of the match, if they reform at SummerSlam due to an interference that would be poetic.

I know. I saw it happen live. I marked out HARD. For all of the unneeded angry that WWE has brought be over the years, tonight was totally worth it. So happy that Dean has the belt. Perfect ending to the PPV. Between this and the Cleveland Cavaliers winning the NBA Championship, Ohio had one Hell of a night.

I'm going to sleep well tonight.

Dean Ambrose has a dumb gimmick, but maybe he will be better than boring Reigns. Will anybody finally turn full heel?

I like that Dean cashed in last night. We all want the inevitable Shield triple threat (we just don't want Roman to win it as a baby face). It's a long overdue story thread and it should be fun to see how it plays out.

I really can't believe how well Cena played ball with AJ. The whole story, to me, was AJ showing Cena he's too damn predictable, and doing the same shit he's done for 15 years won't cut it. The ref bump and Club run-in kind of sucked, but it means we'll be seeing another match. I wouldn't be mad if Cena wins the next one, as long as AJ looks solid, but AJ has to win any rubber match for both himself AND Cena. It's the only way Cena could prove he's no longer that guy that buries everyone, and it's what AJ needs to legitimize his spot at the top of the card.

It would be the one major move they could make that proves to the audience they are serious about this 'new era'.

That ladder match was pretty solid too. Of all people, I would say Del Rio kind of stole the show. It was like we were watching El Patron and it was great. I think he and Cesaro may be working some magic together soon.

Owens was great, as usual, too and it's no surprise they kept pushing him and Zayne as rivals.

That's one thing I like to see in this multi-man matches. Building or reinforcing the upper mid-card rivalries, which can often go on to push the next star.

They should of had AJ win clean, but he should defiantly win the rematch cleanly.

El Patron did look great. Would be nice if they did more with him.

Owens gets flack, but he can deliver the goods. I am not impressed by Zayne.

RAW was okay tonight. Shane announced that he will host RAW and Smackdown. Steph was absent again. Ambrose is the champ, but did not fight. The NEW DAY will be facing the Wyatts soon. Jericho was shown backstage for a few minutes, but did not wrestle. The incident with Lawler was not mentioned. The brand split is not until July 19th. It stinks that they are making us wait so long. Big Suprise, it will be Ambrose, Reigns, and Rollins in a triple threat match for the championship.

Roman Reigns has been suspended for 30 days for violating WWE's wellness policy.

Holy shit dudes. Does this mean he's out of the Triple Threat Match at Battleground in July?

It ends 3 days before, so could do a surprise return, but that'd be pretty shit with no build.

He'll definitely miss the Smackdown draft, though.

I imagine they'll just use existing footage of all the rivalry stuff to cover his absence.. maybe even claim he was kayfabe-hurt on RAW last night. So he won't physically be there, but his name won't drop away. He can get drafted without stepping foot on stage.

I bet they were mulling over ways to look the other way too, but they did the same math as @TheMaster and sighed a collective "PHEW" haha.

If it turns out it's a prescribed steroid or something, and he hasn't been actually abusing them (as may suspended stars have claimed in the past), they may end up having to update their drug policy now that it's their new favorite guy being affected.

If it's a legit suspension though, I could see his big push finally being completely dropped until he proves he's not a potential Jeff Hardy. That sure would be a shame...
