    So… what are the betting odds on a CM Punk injury tonight? I wish it was completely a joke, but it’s not, he hasn’t had a match he came out of uninjured since he returned with AEW as far as I know.

    Ok, THAT is how you tell a story! I heard no commentary. I don’t follow WWE. I don’t know the backstory. The only reason I understood the bracelet is because the prematch promo said “He’s wearing a bracelet with my wifes name on it!” Other than the pre-match video, I was blind going in.

    That being said, I understood the whole match from the 40th row. So far match of the night, and all without one dive, or flip, or corkscrew, or any of that modern 100mph style. It was just a story match that allowed itself to breathe.

    The annoying thing about these stadium shows is that the entrances take 5 minutes each. They need those mini-rings from Wrestlemania III.

    Except make them go 35mph.

      Never been a fan of wrestlers having to walk 1/4 mile to the damn ring.

    As many times as I see Rhea Ripley, I still can’t get over the fact that a show kids watch has a dominatrix that people call “mommy”. It makes me laugh everytime.

      Mami *

      It’s rooted in Spanish due to the whole Mysterio family being Latino.

    That was way too fucking obvious where Priest rolled him to the ropes so Balor could move his foot.

    Edit: Fuck that jabroni mark Finn Balor.

    Anyone else feel that Dom costs Rhea the match tonight and goes with Liv? I just feel that there’s something gonna happen in that feud and what better way to give Dom even more heat than costing Rhea.

      Absolutely, I’ve been on that train for months. Everybody including Dom seems to forget Liv said she would take everything from Rhea and that included JD and Dom… she’s about to clinch that, Finn and Damien are on a collision course which will likely kill JD, Dom seems highly likely to turn on Rhea, and I think Liv then dumps him because she’s just using him on her Liv Revenge Tour.

    Crowd already chanting they want Cody before Sikoa isn’t even done with his 17 minute walk to the ring.

    Seriously. Someone get a golf cart or something…

    Stadium is actually torn on this match. I thought it would be like 100% Rhea support.

    Instead its 50/50.

      Against a lot of women, honestly you’d be right with the 100% Rhea. Everyone’s been waiting so many years for a meaningful Liv push and storyline, now that it’s here it’s hard not to cheer for her.

    I don’t think any of the big stadium shows will come back to browns stadium. Look how much empty seats and tarped off area, plus that big empty space on the floor.

    Also interesting is that if you’re on the floor, its not grass. They put this patched hardfloor down. Like cement, but legos.

      To protect the field from potentially being muddy with a ton of people on. They had to replace the entire infield of our local race track after it rained during a festival and it cost over a million to replace it, that stadium would probably be a lot worse.

      As to empty seats, I’m glad you got a show, but I’m surprised they did a stadium show in Cleveland and didn’t try and do a smaller arena show later on.

    I don’t know if this made it on TV, but I think Rhea dislocated her shoulder…and then popped it back IN.

        Yeah idk if she actually dislocated her shoulder, at times it looked like it visibly was, at other times it very visibly looked fine. If it was actually dislocated I’d like to think the ref would have some something other than let Liv work a shoot injured shoulder for another 5-10 mins straight.

      Well… Liv openly wanted to be his girl, tried to give him stuff, albeit in a stalkery way. Rhea is a dominant do what I say type… turns out he likes some carrot with his stick. I get it.
