The Raw EC qualifiers begin this Monday.

First televised/PPV match to title was 4 months, so it's feasible if they want to do it...

I can't honestly think of anyone who went from debut to top title quicker...

Nobody and unlikely to happen again.

Why? It's for the Smackdown title. What's even the point of the brand split, lol.

Sami is definitely going to beat Cody and Jacob next week and qualify for the EC, just like I predicted:

Sami wins EC and beats Drew at Mania.

If a Raw talent wins, he'll simply be transferred to SD. They no longer go with the facade of having a draft.

So stupid. That said, it looks like he'll stay a "free agent" until after EC, for all the reasons I mentioned.

See video out of Montez Ford. Looks like he spent more time at catering then in the gym.

Fightful reports Bron Breakker underwent surgery for a severe hernia.

mtr · 02-08-2026, 10:34 PM

Man this faction is just cursed. I read that it’s a 4-6 week recovery so he could be back for Mania.

Cracktoast · 02-08-2026, 11:31 PM

Mehhh he will be ready for WM that's all that matters

DrZman · 02-09-2026, 07:11 AM

Hernias are really though to keep on timeline. I would very much doubt he's back for Mania unless they want to risk him coming back too soon and re-injuring it. Would think they play it safe and at most have him do a big post mania return and can hold off actually wrestling another month or so after that.

No chance they have worked too hard and invested too much time to set up Rollins/Breaker for WM with the Vision Turn now the masked man angle. They will gladly risk Breakker getting reinjured and be out after WM. Let him heal up then come back and win one of the belts at Summerslam.

Update - they're saying he's expected to be ready by WM.

packman80 · 02-09-2026, 03:49 PM

When he flipped the table on Raw is when he hurt himself. Guess those re-enforced tables are strong LOL

JustinVerlander07 · 02-09-2026, 08:02 PM

AJ Lee is back

JustinVerlander07 · 02-09-2026, 08:43 PM

Vaquer got Def Rebel'd so bad.

Jaypers · 02-09-2026, 09:52 PM

That cutter off the top rope by Evans may be one of the most impressive things I've ever seen. How do you time that so perfectly? Amazing.

Cracktoast · 02-09-2026, 10:59 PM

They clearly are using different people as the masked man. Tonight was about throwing off the scent of the RR guy being Pearce, which I still believe it was. Tonight I would agree it was more likely Waller.

JustinVerlander07 · 02-10-2026, 12:18 PM

I find it fascinating that in the US Gable is the babyface and Kaiser is the heel, and in Mexico Kaiser is the babyface and Gable is the heel.

Rough women's tag match on NXT last night. It shows what happens when the timing of Sol's Soul Snatcher is off. Her opponent essentially dove out too early and had already landed face down on the canvas before Sol finished her flip. It pretty much looked like some type of summersault elbow drop because of it. And that is how she won the match.
