🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️TheMalapertSmark: i guess i find it amusing that all they did was fight the entire night. enough talk. but i coulda also just done w/ then not being on this show. they already done enough for this feud…
=====

🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️TheMalapertSmark: i like the little angle w/ charlotte really trying but getting hurt. i’m curious to see what they’ve got planned for her and alexa…. i also like giulia taking the spot in the match. this is best…
=====
(3) WWE tag title picture... Title match & all tag title hopefuls laid out in SUPRISE RETURN...
👉Subplots:
(B) MCMG & #DIY get involved in WWE tag title main event, but it all goes to sh*t when the lights go out and the Wyatt Sicks return to lay out literally EVERYONE... Street Profits vs Fraxiom therefore a NO CONTEST... Street Profits retain...
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️TheMalapertSmark: Montez Ford when the Wyatts appeared. lmao!… i wasn’t too into this until the very end. wasn’t expecting the wyatts at all. loved the pop. i would have maybe only given this 1/2 pt. if it wasn’t for the suprise…
=====
(4) Chelsea Green pours salt on Zelina Vega’s wounds after MITB qualifier loss, leading to pull apart w/ Michin & B-Fab (who have also had beef w/ Chelsea) coming to Zelina’s aid… Zelina then thwarts Chelsea Green costing the Secret Hervice against Michin & B-Fab in tag match…
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️TheMalapertSmark: nice little setup for the US title match the next night. it cool how literally all these girls have beef w/ chelsea. i didn’t mind this. although i wonder if they might consider getting chelsea involved with some new people at some point, just to freshen it up…
=====
(5) Solo, Jacob & JC Drama for the day...
👉Subplots:
(B) Solo wants Jacob to think of JC Mateo as one of the family, but Jacob doesn’t trust him… team up doesn’t go smoothly but Solo’s boys get the win over Jimmy & Rey Fenix…
(C) Solo's crew seem to be getting along backstage when Nick Aldis informs Jacob he will be in MITB qualifier next week... Solo is already qualified, but Solo tries to make it a positive... Jacob tells Solo he loves him before walking off..
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️TheMalapertSmark: the solo/jacob relationship is so funky. i guess jacob sticks w/ him because he’s family, despite all the issues. it would be interesting to see what kind of stable this could be if the tongans come back…
=====
(6) Santos Escobar meets w/ disgruntled grunt Berto, but Berto doesn’t want to hear “another one of his motivational speeches…” Berto walks off but Legado Del Fantasma are scheduled to team at Worlds Collide…
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️TheMalapertSmark: i’ve long been saying they should break this group up. Santos Escobar does not get the reaction to warrant him having cinematic scenes like this. it made sense in NXT but now. they need to just get him back to earning the restpect of his fans. no one even knows why these guys would follow him…
=====
(7) Men’s MITB...
👉Subplots:
(B) Miz sacrifices his spot in MITB to Carmelo Hayes...
(C) Aldis puts Jacob in qualifier next week, causing conflict w/ Solo, who is already in the match and amidst "family drama" (See Storyline #5b)...
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️TheMalapertSmark: pretty solid 3 way match. i liked the booking. Black looked strong. Knight wins. i’ll take it… Miz giving up his spot to his friend Melo, how cuuuute. what a nice friend 😆… sólo & jacob both being in mitb brings up many possibilities. it could mean the end of their relationship, potentially, if Solo would back Jacob and help him win…
=====
(8) R-Truth cuts promo ahead of tomorrow’s match w/ John Cena… says it’s not the same Cena…
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️TheMalapertSmark: a little slow and drawling but overall i liked it.
=====
(9) Bianca Belair talks her recent struggles (injuries & lost friendships)... says she will come back stronger... to return next week...
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️TheMalapertSmark: that was a fast recovery…
