Yeah

Spoiler

MJF turned on Regal by nailing him in the back of the head with his new Burberry-strap AEW Championship, causing him to be stretchered out of the arena, neck brace and all

Spoiler: return

Also Ruby Soho returned after Anna Jay-AS’s match and laid out Tay Melo on the entrance ramp

 

I thought MJF's suit looked familiar.

(YES! It really says "F#ck You" throughout it lol)

 

I had to look up the footage from last night. MJF's says "better than you". That's pretty awesome!

 

Plus

Spoiler: SPOILER

Hangman Page returned to brawl with Moxley.

 

I feel bad for MJF. I'm not really a fan, but the guy is trying so hard to get booed and the crowd cheers him anyway. They even cheered when he knocked out Regal. What can he do at this point to be a genuine heel? He wants to be booed. He loves being the bad guy, but no matter how horrible he acts, he gets Babyface cheers. Gotta be frustrating.

 

By all definition SCSA was a heel act other than his feud with mr mcmahon. Sometimes the crowd just cheers

 

I missed most of the attitude era. How often did SCSA insult the crowd?

 

Not really but he was generally an all around asshole and was a heel until the crowd just started cheering as i remember

 

STONE COLD!!!
STONE COLD!!!
STONE COLD!!!
STONE COLD!!!

And that’s the Bottom Line because Stone Cold said so!

What!?
What!?

If you want Stone Cold to kick Santa Claus’ ass, give me a hell yeah!

the crowd: HELL YEAH!!!

And Stone Cold gives a stunner to Santa Claus.

Who remembers that?

 

Spoiler: Another Return

Reports are that Eric Young is the next one to be returning to WWE. On Impact a segment featuring Violent By Design showed Young being “killed off”, indicating his time with that company is coming to an end. Plus, with Nikki Cross returning to her old persona it also opens the door for a potential SAnIty reunion, ESPECIALLY if Triple H also brings back both Alexander Wolfe and Killian Dain, the other members of the stable

What happened to SD this week? My recording is showing a replay of last week’s show. Was it on a different channel?

 

It was on FS1.

 

How annoying. I thought my recording would automatically change if it was on a different channel but I guess not.

EDIT: never mind, I caught an FS1 replay. Thanks.

 

I hate to say this but as much as I enjoyed WWE since the HHH regime,I'm starting to get annoyed at these "Returns" as it's losing its charm and excitement. Tegan's return lastnight was very flat. She was a good wrestler on NXT but I think Trips should've maybe saved her return for the Rumble perhaps.

Its funny when I think about this situation as it really reminds me of how TK/AEW did all these returns/debuts of Ex-WWE stars (Malakai,Cole and Punks were my favorite) but after awhile just became stale AF and WWE is starting to feel like that now.

 

Impact wrote him out on Thursday by having his underling stab him to death. No, really.
