This all looks quite sloppy so far. They can't keep up with Steph and Giulia.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Fuck's sake they even put an ad on the briefcase

 

[Y2Jayne]

Naomi wins

 

[Y2Jayne]

Made sense for Becky to win on the other hand, surely Lyra is moving up to bigger things now.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Rollins was the predictable winner, it really should have been Knight. They screwed him over three years in a row.

 

[Jimmy King]

Very happy with Naomi winning the women’s MITB, very much well deserved after all the work she’s put in over the years. I don’t think Rollins needed it again but it is what it is.

Pretty good show overall.

Fightful re: Truth's return: he was ignoring WWE's approaches until "Nick Khan came along and met him halfway"

This smells strongly of a planted PR story. Make Nick Khan look like the good guy and turn the people against HHH so they can replace him with a corporate stooge

 

[Dale]

Not everything has to be some big elaborate scheme. They fucked up, got alot of pushback from it and worked to rectify it.

If they're fabricating a story then it would have made way more sense to act like the main guys from TKO intervened and got him back, not Nick Khan.

 

[Samoa Looch]

Garbage, really. You can turn it any way you want, the WWE looks like shit in this whole story.

Either you have a company, who doesn't have a great track record when it comes to their releases (the why, the how etc), planned and executed an angle based on a firing of one of the most beloved talents on their Roster, relatively shortly after releasing a lot of other talent... or you have a company that wanted to release said worker, did it, then immediately crumbled under fan pressure and now gives that worker an immediate, ungenuine push (maybe even towards a big Title match or something along those lines) just to soothe things over with the fans (who wouldn't have cared about it anymore anyways in a couple of months).

...and either way, most people gonna just forgive and forget in no time, whichever shit thing they just pulled off.

 

[Chris]

These things are always weird to me, like regardless of if it was a work all along or a course correction. And it always feels like a lot of people push the "it's a work all along" thing as the positive angle and the one they want to be true as WWE fans, but to me that's way worse because people actually did lose their jobs so if the plan was to really fire people but fake one, that's shitty af. The Rock/Cody Mania stuff was like peak of this delusional discourse, not with releases involved though.

I don't think that's true here at all eother, just odd that people never seem to want to acknowledge they just pivoted, maybe bc it reads as admitting an original mistake, but it's certainly the better scenario IMO. I'd much rather the quick course correction than these weird evil master plans

 

[O-Blaze]

So, what's the chances Truth wins the title from Cena soon, only to get cashed in on immediately by Rollins?

 

[Dale]

Zero hopefully

 

[Lethal]

not a chance in hell. it's a reactionary rehire to someone who wasn't given a care for until hijack chants

 

[O-Blaze]

Zero hopefully

Because you don't want Truth to be champion or don't want Rollins to ruin it?

 

[Chris]

Because you don't want Truth to be champion or don't want Rollins to ruin it?

Both for me lol
