I look forward to them getting back to the states soon. These crowds just try to make it about them which is annoying. And no its not that I don't like fun, you can chant here and there and its fine, but let the action actually happen too without a constant chant going on and as soon as one ends they start another. Let the action breathe a little. The biggest plus lately is no Pat McAfee

Jaypers · 09-01-2025, 03:34 PM

Becky slapped Punk, and Punk will be in Chicago this Friday. If his wife isn't there, this tease was all for nothing.

bjho852 · 09-01-2025, 05:23 PM

Hope that Rollins will hold the belt long enough for Punk to win Royal Rumble next year and dethrone him at 'Mania.

JustinVerlander07 · 09-01-2025, 06:10 PM

One thing France does right is Jey Uso's entrance. Man what aura between him and the crowd. I'm not even sure jericho and packman who hate fun and Jey could deny it.

JustinVerlander07 · 09-01-2025, 06:35 PM

Also, I'm not the biggest Styles fan, but holy crap that ovation for him was amazing.

hate fun? No love fun but have a IQ high enough to know when a guy is a catchphrase and nothing else. Besides him going YEET what does he bring? LA Knight at least can give you a good match in the ring when he's not going YEAH. But Justin will die on the hill that Jey is not a catchphrase wrestler.

Even if you’re right and he’s just a catchphrase right now. Why would he go away from that when it’s obviously working? It’s like asking the Rock to go back to being Flex Kavana or Rocky Maivia just to prove he once wrestled a more technical style. You go with what works and what made you. It doesn’t mean he can’t do other stuff.

What else does he need to bring? The show is supposed to be entertaining for the live audience. You have made your point perfectly clear the last 117 times you've said it, but are you going to argue that the audience isn't entertained?

No one gets the crowd up like Jey currently. You say that's all he can bring, but most people are telling you that even if that is true, it's more than enough. Wrestling talent has taken a backseat to the show itself in WWE basically since Vince took over from his dad.

You're literally making my point. You don't like fun. I don't know if you've ever been at a live show when he comes out, but everyone is having fun. Wrestling is suppose to be fun!!

Jey has good mic work too and his matches post Wrestlemaniaish are generally quite solid, his promo on RAW was good. It's just hilarious how your IQ is so low that you can't just say "I don't like this but I can acknowledge so many people do"

Oh he won't answer any questions where he is clearly wrong, and he is clearly wrong.

Again, I hate Seth Rollins, I do the woah thing live with the crowd because it's fun to do it. The ability to be able to do that is what separates people who want to have fun and people who want to find the worst in everything.

Why do we have to have the Jey Uso debate every freaking week ? Either you like him or hate him just accept it and move on because neither side is ever going to change the others mind.

I was commenting on RAW, while also taking the dig at packman and jericho who hate fun.

Let's start a Jimmy Uso debate. Who's for him and who is against him? Personally, I don't care about him.

I would like for Jimmy and Jey to be a tag team again to help the men's division that's currently on life support.

Same.

Jaypers · 09-05-2025, 10:41 AM

A few adjustments to Cena's schedule were released today.

SD - Tonight
Raw - 9/15
Wrestlepalooza - 9/20
Crown Jewel - 10/11
Raw in Boston - 11/10
Raw in MSG - 11/17
Survivor Series - 11/29
SNME in DC - 12/13

jmarascojr · 09-05-2025, 12:40 PM

His last Smackdown will be in the same place as his first Smackdown, nice touch...

I assume he makes an appearance at Wrestlepalooza and gets jumped by Lesnar again to set up a match at Crown Jewel.

Boston and MSG make sense...

Team Cena vs ??? at Survivor Series maybe ???

I thought his last event was gonna be in Boston, SNME in DC is weird to me...
Woulda been nice to see him go out against The Rock, but after seeing how much weight Rock has lost, no way he's hitting a ring anytime soon...

Side bar to tonight's Smackdown.... I think it would be in WWE's best interest to swerve the crowd and bring Rhea out as CM Punk's partner.
This should get the crowd hot cause they want AJ Lee instead...

Then as she's walking down the aisle, she says "I can't help you Punk, but I know someone who can" and AJ Lee comes skipping out.

Lesnar is reportedly in Chicago, so I would think they're having a match at Palooza. They need to sell the ESPN app. I for one won't be a buyer, but maybe others will.

Cracktoast · 09-05-2025, 05:49 PM

apparently Cena vs. Zayn on SD..... WHY ???

2 Babyfaces and you are going to waste one of his few remaining matches on Sami Zayn?

Quote:

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, this is the complete planned lineup for SmackDown later this evening:

A John Cena promo
Sami Zayn vs. John Cena
Aleister Black vs. Damian Priest
A segment between Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre
Giulia vs. Michin
A Becky Lynch promo

"Reports"...so also..POTENTIAL SPOILERS (But if you read the dirtsheets you already know)

Sami is in for a big push...getting the title back is a feeler of sorts for how well he works in the post Peacock/new ESPN days..

Potentially slated to win the Rumble and finally win a BIG title at WM...

So I can see a Cena match as a feeler/torch passing-esque match

Plus, Cena is in control of who he wrestles anyways

Jaypers · 09-05-2025, 09:07 PM

Well it may have been a poorly kept secret (as usual), but AJ looks like she hasn't aged a day IMO.

Should be a great mixed tag match.

packman80 · 09-05-2025, 09:10 PM

Don't mind that AJ is back but did you really have to have Becky shaking like she was afraid of someone who has been gone for 10 years?

Would have rather seen Punk in the ring saying I am not going to hit you but I know someone who will. When Becky says who? Have AJ come out from under the ring go in turn Becky around and give her a super slap and then attack her.

Jaypers · 09-05-2025, 09:44 PM

Even the MLB Twitter account got in on it.

Also, there's after show footage of her holding the IC title, so looks like she's here for a good while.

I gotta say, she got some nice abs.
