He came out at the last NXT taping after the dark match and showed his elbow to Nakamura, which was then put all over WWE's social media but oddly hasn't been referred to on NXT TV. Hero's not so big a name with a casual audience that you can put him straight onto main roster TV, especially if Nakamura, Roode, Aries…

Seems kind of odd to make hoss heels the tag champions if there's no scrappy face teams being built up (unless they're going to go with AoP-Sanity down the line in the style of Wyatts-Shield), and classic beloved babyface on the indies Billie Kay is still a square peg in a round hole, but Takeover was a good deal…

It's certainly been raised, he had a tryout before going to the indies instead and Trips was asked about him at his press call this week (platitudes followed), but given he appears to have got in on a ticket or someone's plus one I wouldn't be sure they're being proactive right now, especially with a gap at the top of…

I've just this moment realized that Triple H's expected opponent at Wrestlemania is one of the few WWE wrestlers who is openly left-wing.

Alongside keeping up the record of Becky-Alexa being a great feud in every part but the actual matches, making it a kind of opposite to Charlotte-Sasha, the layout was completely counter-intuitive. The story has been Alexa can't beat Becky on level ground so she has to rely on distraction, interference or the luck…

There's literally been no explanation of why Alexa and Mickie are working together. Calling an angle nonsensical when it's not really started is quite a leap.

In contrast to most of Raw these days, it was an object lesson in how to lay out a tournament with psychology, alignment definition and slow build, and make stars. Dull old Bobby Roode challenging for Nakamura's title while Pete Dunne exists is very wrong.

They seemed to eventually accept it too, which doesn't seem right for guys pushed as dangerous.

That was a classic of the "just run with it" school. Why would you mock someone by bringing up their being a wrestling fan to an audience of wrestling fans if you're then going to emphasize how you were part of wrestling yourself? Where did she even get the pictures and private documents from? "She's one of you, and I…

Except that's not been actually rumored by anyone with credence. The real reason seems to be all the faces are in natural storylines already, and they already had had to take Nia off TV for a few weeks after she beat Alicia because there was no further for her to go.

When the Argento family won a wrongful death civil lawsuit in 1985.

Let me get this straight. The angle for the show was there were "rumors" Undertaker was showing up, even though wwe.com had been advertising him for more than a week. Then Stephanie threatens to fire Foley because this entirely rumored appearance hadn't yet happened, only for Taker to show up and declare he does what…

Is that industry talk? Because it doesn't get good viewing figures at all and there were rumors they keep delaying the filming of the next season maybe until the fall and with everyone on season-by-season broadcast contracts people were getting antsy, but I hadn't heard that its existence was under threat.

I have no idea which of the many candidates that's being applied to, but AJ's worked out well and he's friends with Xavier Woods so…

I love Tetsuya Naito. Nobody, ever, in anything, has been so magnificent in alternating between give-a-shit cussedness and absolute killer. One of the frustrating things about NJPW this last year is its insistence on running Bullet Club vs CHAOS as a feature feud all the time while at one stage LIJ had four of the…

On a day when Naomi managed to get left out of an official WWE graphic of the Total Divas cast, I really wouldn't say heavily over world champion-elect Becky is being BURIED!!!!

She hasn't signed, she's only been offered a deal.

That was amazing - they made a point of trailing that Nikki had invited the YouTube singer off Ellen to the show, and her entire role is having a quick chat with Nikki. Really worth bringing her in for!

See, I'd make an argument that Charlotte isn't the best heel among the women on the main roster, especially now Carmella (it's not her) has proven better at turning a positive crowd reaction in an instant. Alexa not only turns crowds against her but has helped raise Becky's game in their feud (one day I'll get my "why…

Worse is that it took until this week for Rollins to mention it. I guess it's now enshrined in kayfabe that Trips isn't taking the fall for MNF season ratings declines.
