This is some entrance! His stock has risen so much since going Solo and his Yeet movement has gained so much traction.

Agreed, the Yeet gimmick drove me nuts at first, but it's definitely growing on me. He seems to have taken to his solo run quite well.

 

[ddoubleep]

He might need a title of some sort soon whilst his popularity is so high. The going through the crowd adds way more to it also. So pumped and then energy to wrestle afterwards.

Just finished this week's RAW. I think Lyra Valkyria could be one to watch. She's quite green, but there's something about her which makes me thing she'll be great.

 

[ddoubleep]

I am still catching up with SD but will watch Raw before the week is out. Can't slot in a regular weekly time slot before the spoilers hit the phone.

All attention has been on Jade but Lyra stepping up from NXT is a big move.

I don't watch NXT really, how was Lyra in that?

Spoiler: SmackDown spoilers

Belair-Stratton was a banger. Orton-Hayes was a banger (and that RKO was smooth as butter). Cargill losing a QOTR match via a completely optional, self-inflicted DQ is absolute GARBAGE.

What a great SD. Caught up last night. PLE weekend coming up. I'll be away so won't be able to see it but will have to make do with the highlights.

Spoiler: RAW

I've been expecting a Gunther KOTR win since the beginning, so no surprise he beat Jey - but for some reason didn't expect a submission. Now they've stipulated that the winners will each get a title shot at SummerSlam, I'm expecting Lyra will win and end up going after Becky (probably turning heel in the process). Good RAW overall.

 

[ddoubleep]

SummerSlam 2026 to be over 2 nights. That would need some great storylines to go into 2026 to headline that after a WM.

In the past week or so WWE have released much better and less disjointed extended highlights from RAW and SD.

That was a short PPV only 5 matches, if I had bought a ticket I would feel a bit short changed. Most of the matches were pretty good but the women's tag match match was a bit brutal, a certain someone needs to spend a bit more time in the performance centre ans less time on holiday and socialising. If that sounds harsh just remember that person skipped the to the front of queue of other talented women who could have got this push and only had a handful of short matches under their belt.

5 - 6 match PPV/PLE cards have been fairly standard under HHH's booking going back to NXT Black and Gold. I actually prefer it - a few matches that are given time to breathe as opposed to rapid fire 12 matches in 4 hours. To each their own of course, though

Some of the matches last night had some suspect spots but mostly I feel sorry for Damien Priest. Probably done that move hundreds of times but when it bites....that was scary looking.

Apparently there was a technical issue with the top rope being loose which was causing the wrestlers to become unbalanced.

 

[wolfie138]

apparently they new but didn't bother fixing it :-/

 

[Arterion]

I realise this might sound hyperbolic, but after years of evidence, culminating with Friday's Smackdown, I'm ready to say it: Paul Heyman is probably be the greatest talent in WWE, maybe all of professional wrestling.

The question i have is... Will PH create a new faction to decimate the Bloodline? Brock, Roman, Punk and maybe another? Stroman maybe?

Wrestlemania XL: Behind the Curtain has appeared on Youtube and it's quite interesting watching the behind the scenes back and forward on setting the main events up - Rhodes seemingly genuinely upset and it looks like a swap to Rock vs Roman was legitimately on the cards initially.
