Multiple NXT sources have confirmed to Fightful Select that Giulia will be reporting to the WWE Performance Center and NXT upon completion of her remaining dates, with an immediate main roster debut ruled out at this time.
 
So apparently they cut to Giulia in the audience put a nameplate and didn’t explain anything. Where’s the story of why she’s there. How’s a casual fan watching suppose to know anything

BREAKING: At a WWE World Panel, Drew McIntyre says he will leave WWE if he doesn't win the World Championship from Seth Rollins
 
The upside of the two night WM is undeniable, no more 6 hour shows but they still overload the show with too much and you end up with meh filler matches so everyone can have their moment
 
Jade still looked similar ring wise as she did in AEW. Nothing special. She’ll do better in WWE where they can fanigle her ring work over producing her.
 
Rock and his family literally controlling WWE without the financials is great. Especially after the promo yrs ago of Rikishi saying WWE disrespecting the Samoan Dynasty
 
The Coffey Brothers and Wolfgang helped Rock train again for ring shape. Bobby roode and Michael hates supervised session with match ref Chad Patton also there
 
What a boring match.

And if Rhodes doesn't win tomorrow, this is really bad booking, but I almost expect it. Triple H has always been a fan of heels winning big matches.
 
So I’m not a huge wrestling guy but I enjoy it when I watch. I watched the Rumble because it was in my hometown and tonight because of the rock. Are the crowds always this dead now? Everybody at my house tonight was remarking how quiet it was. Rumble was the same.

I just got off the phone with my buddy who was at the show and I asked that very question. His hypothesis was the crowd was just burned out. He said the crowd was hot for the main event intros, the Ripley match and the Sami match. They were dead for the women's tag match and luke warm for the men's tag team title match.

6+ hours is a long freaking time to be in an arena

Yea personally I feel like the main event intros and staring match were way too long. You gotta have some of that but it got to be ridiculous. Killed my enthusiasm and my *** was on my couch.

Some of those people are going back tomorrow night too. Feel like you’d be regretting that unless you are most hardcore fan around. That’s too much stadium time.

Plus it was pretty freakin' cold in Philly tonight. By the end of the show it was about 45 degrees out.
 
Biggest pops of main event were Reigns and Rock. Particularly the spot where Reigns speared Rock.

After sitting in the cold again tomorrow night for hours and hours, very possible Cody gets boo'd if they end the show with him winning :lol: Cody crybabies.will rage if/when that happens.

I liked the long term booking of the finish tonight. Sets up Cody/Rock & Reigns/Rock down the road.

I really think R-Truth got some of the biggest pops tonight. Sitting in the cold can't be fun. The Philly crowd definitely seemed to be pro Rock. I for sure thought the Bloodline wins tonight, but do expect a Cody win tomorrow.
 
Roman Reigns clarifies Pat McAfee's comment on commentary that he's "currently" battling leukemia

Roman Reigns mentioned that he is on oral chemotherapy medication and potentially will be for the rest of his life
 
Watched up until the Gunther/Zayn match last night and finished it this morning.

I thought both were good. I felt the outcome of both(including Reigns/Rhodes tonight), because of the longevity of the champions reigns, were going to be cliche. Get the belts off these two guys who have been holding them for months, give both of them (Reigns/Gunther) a vacation and have them come back in the new season.

I can't believe that either Zayn or Rhodes will hold onto their belts for long.

The Rock match was good enough; particularly with a Legend involved. For not being in the ring in 8 years; The Rock looked good; dished it out and took it back. Hell, if the Rock was injured; aside from him spending a good amount of time off the apron outside the ring; you wouldn't have known it. He took some bumps.
