Sounded more like his mic volume was cut. Same effect though. It works, mark.

So will we see something like Miz getting win vs LA Knight when Waller helps Miz win. Then we later see a tag match with LA Knight and John Cena vs The Miz and Waller?

4 way match?

LA Knight comes out on top.

Reading reports that Jade Cargill may be going to WWE and bypass NXT all together

Hope she has to go through NXT. They've got enough of logjam with people ready on NXT to get promoted and can't even get Kayden/Kacy and Isla/KLR on tv and Jade isn't good enough to jump the line

The hammer starts to fall starting today. Sounds like mostly behind the scenes/corporate positions first but you know talent related cuts are soon to follow. It will be interesting to see what the new WWE/UFC roster ends up looking like because you know there will be crossovers.

Hi All,

As part of WWE’s transition into the newly formed TKO Group Holdings, we are evaluating our existing operations and systems to identify potential synergies across the business. This effort includes workforce reductions, which will take place tomorrow.

Those whose roles have been impacted will be notified by our Human Resources Team, who will share the details of their severance package. We are asking that everyone work remotely, Friday September 15th, so we can insure all conversations are handled privately and respectfully. We’ll send out a company-wide email once all of tomorrow’s conversations have happened.

Our company is home to the most talented, creative, and hard-working employees in the world. WWE is a special place, which makes moments like this difficult. Just know that we have nothing but gratitude and admiration for everyone we have had the privilege to work alongside.

Thank you for all your contributions and dedication.

Nick Khan

Miz the biggest jobber in 2023 he's now what 2-100 this year? He deserves better.

Jolten Joe · 09-15-2023, 08:40 PM

What a wasted opportunity for The Rock's return.

I guess Waller and Theory jump Cena and Rock makes the save to end SD.

JustinVerlander07 · 09-15-2023, 08:49 PM

That pop for Rock.....WOW. UNREAL

Rock needs to stop roiding at his age can't be good.

Cardboard Dawg · 09-15-2023, 09:52 PM

That music hitting gave me goosebumps

What The Rock said earlier today on the Pat McAfee show is interesting and sounds like WM40 may be Rock vs Roman after all?

JustinVerlander07 · 09-15-2023, 09:52 PM

Wrestling is suppose to be fun. Rock showed up out of no where. Who cares that he didn't to what someone wanted him to do? It was FUN.

JustinVerlander07 · 09-15-2023, 10:01 PM

I get why WWE is pushing Jimmy Uso hard given the lack of top level heels on Smackdown with Roman out, but I'm just not buying it. Jey has a ton of charisma and believability to his push. Jimmy isn't bad but I can't buy him as a top level guy like I can with Jey. Also for a 2 hour show there's just too much of him.

ThatGuyPal · 09-16-2023, 01:06 AM

FINALLLLLLLLLLLLLLY The Rock Has COME BACK.......Home

Can confirm, it was pretty #@#@#@#@ing epic. Legitimately got goosebumps when the music hit. Such an insane surprise. Last time I saw The Rock in person was 1999 at a house show in Boston when I was 13.

I'm willing to give the WWE and Jimmy a chance and the main reason is that they never pulled the trigger on Jimmy. Before Jey got his chance he was pretty much what Jimmy is now. Jey has grown into the role and gotten better week after week and month after month. Jimmy is just now getting his own storyline and I'm interested to see where they go with it.

Book it for Survivor Series…

Cena/The Rock/LA Knight
Vs
Miz/Waller/Austin Theory

Give the kids the biggest push they could ever have and see what they do with it….

I like how your prediction wasn't even close to how Smackdown ended

packman80 · 09-16-2023, 08:28 AM

WWE needs to end this LWO and take the US title off Rey. It's doing nothing. With Roman out they need a strong champ that can push the US title as an important title that matters. They have two strong champs on Raw but really none at Smackdown because Roman is so part time and rarely defends it and Rey just has never been a strong champ IMO.

He's a transition champ, simple as that. Watch, he'll lose it to Escobar, who will lose it to Lashley, and then we'll see a feud started between Knight and the new Hurt Business. In the meantime, I expect him to start something with the Street Profits. Question is, who will be his partner for that? Could very well be Rey Mysterio.

Alpha Academy reminds me of The Rockers. Gable is such a technical wrestler, no pizzazz. Marty Janetty all over again. He needs to develop
