That main event tag triple threat was so great as I was completely in on some of the near falls, even to the point that when JeriKO hit that Codebreaker combo, I was convinced that was it, only to pop hard when Rollins literally pushed KO on to Jericho. It was such a simple and brilliant move.

I don't know why, but I am getting such a kick out of the concept that these time travelers need to stop the villains from getting something that might affect the very fabric of reality. You know, like time travel is constantly shown to do.

It took me a while to figure out why this episode felt so filler-y, even with them coming off a PPV, before I realized that their next PPV is the Royal Rumble which is January 29th. That means that they have almost two months to stretch these storylines with, so I can understand why they seem to be slow to actually

I personally think that Bliss has a lot of promise, but I also feel that she is at the moment at her best when she gets to react and goin short bursts. When she has to go long, she starts to have difficulties, which is understandable because she is still green. Also, I think that promo tonight showed that she really

Ellsworth is next level delusional, but at least this time he understood that he needs to get as far away from Dean as possible after that latest blunder.

There are so many things the Miz is perfect with, but one small detail he is absolutely dedicated to, and I adore him for it, is that if his character doesn't know before-hand that he has a match, he will be wearing a suit instead of his ring gear. As small of a detail that is, almost no one on WWE follows it, which

You know what makes Enzo a class act? He doesn't mind a random camera crew filming him about to get it on with a married woman.

I read someone claiming that they wanted to put the Universal title on Reigns so that they could emulate Conor with the two title belts. My first thought was that it was kind of silly as Roman has never really defended the US title in a feud. My second thought was a realization how similar it would be to McGregor as a

As crazy as this year has been in wrestling, I'm still astonished that at this point there could be a legitimate discussion on who is the top heel in WWE: The Miz or Charlotte Flair. Something I could never see happening a year ago even if I was enjoying both performers.

I think it was both. I rewatched the segment on YouTube and the smack on that slap was pretty audible.

There's something that is really confusing me about the matches they've announced for Roadblock: End of the Line. They started this show by announcing that KO/Reigns match will be the main event, which seemed logical as it is a champion versus champion feud. However, then they announced that Sasha/Charlotte is going

I think there are positives in Asuka/Nikki Bella as well as Asuka/Bliss and Asuka/Lynch, but I also agree that the big money would be in Asuka/Sasha and especially Asuka/Charlotte.

Yeah, singles table matches are always really awkward for me as they need to basically stop everything to set up the table and then figure out how to not hit it with very basic moves. The best singles table match I could think of was Cena/Rollins which took two really good workers with one having two henchmen to help

That Nikki/Carmella No-DQ was so bad, it was probably for me one of the worst WWE PPV matches I've seen this year, which is why I'm glad that Sasha/Charlotte had their match first on Raw. It wasn't even necessarily the workers themselves, as that was pretty much a Nikki match in both good and bad, but just the way

That main event TLC match was just fantastic with Styles and Ambrose showing off again why they are the backbone of the Smackdown's men's division. There were just so many great spots and interactions during it, even if it does sadden me a bit as an Ambrose fan I've seen dismissive comments about his contributions to

That Corbin/Kalisto match turned out to be a sleeper hit, and the second best match of the night for me, and probably the best chairs match I've seen. Just the creativity shown by the two guys and constantly finding new ways to make things work was a delight to witness.

Slightly off-topic, but on the list of great superhero stories about their lives if they had never become heroes, I feel almost morally obliged to add Scott Snyder's Superheavy to the list above "Penchance to Dream". That story still hits me so hard.

And that to me is the best of situations when both shows are delivering enjoyable entertainment.

These couple of weeks post Survivor Series have reminded me of a benefit of the brand split as it has again felt like both brands are competing again and trying to out-do each other. For example, not only have the last two main event matches on Raw been excellent matches with logical stipulations, they have felt

While I absolutely loved the Miz on Talking Smack, it was the first time I realized how skewed the dynamics on TS had been as Bryan would always really press the heels and almost pat the faces on the back for being deserving and all that. So here, when Becky was giving her spiel, when the Miz actually pressed her on
