Damn them numbers are nearly a million down. Understandable due to Roman on raw , shows he's the main attraction with Cody on SD.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Roman , Punk, Drew, Rhea are the top stars for me. If anyone don't like it tough. Don't find what's funny when if I've read it wrong I'll admit.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I can’t believe it’s finally Tiffy time!

My girl looking fabulous in her crop top white mink coat and skirt.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I do like how WWE these days seems to start with people entering the building.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Punk and Seth tore the fucking house down.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Cody‘s suit game has to be unmatched.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

We may need to ban Paul Heyman for posting all these spoilers.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Roman hasn’t won royal rumble yet has he?

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Go away, Kevin. The big boys are talking.
