Brock opening the show and squashing the Miz and co. Got my attention out of the gate. My other huge impression is Braun Strowman heaving an executive office chair at Roman Reigns. Braun saw Roman approaching and flung that chair with great velocity. These two are have been able to keep it fresh with new twists on the physicality like this.

What do you guys think about Enzo shifting to Smackdown and working as Nakamura's hype man? I think it would benefit both guys and allows Enzo to pivot towards focusing on his strong skill set on the mic and improving it.

Question: WWE has been mentioning every now and again NJWP, for a few examples stating Aj and Nakamura holding the IWJP title and on WWE.COM a story about kyle O'Reilly they named dropped Naito and Liger, so does WWE have a working relationship with New Japan? Or you do you guys have an idea as to why they would do it? As we know Vince is a stickler for words and language on his shows.

Just wondering as they never mention say Owens holding the ROH title or Aj/Joe being in that other company.

P.s also Aj, Zyan and Owens all made cameos in the "Being The Elite" lastest Video, was awsome.

Thought the Miz TV segment was good for what it was...reminding people that Brock is still a monster.

The constant teasing of the Shield seems to get the crowd excited, although I still feel this isn't organic and it's being forced upon us. It isn't the Shield, unless all 3 members re-unite.

Main event was great and very entertaining. Looks like Joe's taking the pin if he's getting the upper hand pre-Summer Slam.

Question: With how things are going for Jason Jordan, do you see them ending the experiment and turning him into a heel? I can only imagine the "boos" moving forward if today is any indication.

I was at the show tonight with a lapsed fan and a fan of mostly just Total Divas.
The lapsed fan was into Brock Lesnar, Big Show, and Strowman throwing an office chair into Roman's face.
The Total Divas fan was into Cesaro, Seth & Dean (after I explained their back story), and Big Show, also.

Alexa got a huge pop the first time she came out, perhaps second only to Brock. The crowd was also into Seth & Dean and the office chair spot.

There were several children around us, too. Unquestionably, their favourite was Enzo; they all popped huge for him, sang along, and one girl in her Enzo wig completely lost her mind for him. And it's worth noting that they all booed Roman vociferously.

The highlight for me was Bray. I never before saw him do his disappearing trick in person. He literally just rolls out of the ring and you can see him do it clear as day. And then Finn has to sell that he doesn't know where he is like a fucking idiot. The child in front of me helpfully yelled to Finn that Bray was under the ring and that it was "dark under there" and I fell on the floor laughing.

Take Care

Question: People are turning hard on Bayley. It gets worse every week. She didn't handle it well tonight either. She seemed legitimately hurt by the reaction. How can they salvage her? I would slow turn her heel. I know no one believes she could be a heel but with the right booking and pacing I'm convinced she could be.

SummerSlam is shaping up as another quantity over quality show. It'll probably be over 5 hours in length with a dozen matches but only the main event feels special. Most of the other matches are either retreads or been thrown together haphazardly.

Question: After Survivor Series weekend was such a big success, do you read anything into the lacklustre ticket sales for the Toronto TV tapings this week? It felt like the city was building momentum after that PPV and the Roadblock special. Is it just a reflection of how cold the SummerSlam build is?

I was also at the show too.

The good stuff involved Brock and the Miztourage. Although I'm not too sure what's going on with Jordan now but the crowd is not buying him at all. We were all ready to cheer for Ambrose and Rollins finally being on the same page but it looks like it will drag out. Reigns and Braun had a great match, those two always deliver and have fantastic chemistry.

At least they continued the hype of the the fatal 4 way. I noticed the Hardyz were absent this week. This doesn't have anything to do with the lawsuit over their characters does it? Did they have a court date to attend to today? Lastly the way Bayley left is there a chance she returns a heel in a few months?

One question I have if you were in attendance tonight. What is the motivation for booing a wrestler who sustained an injury and is going away for a while anyways? It came off to me as disrespectful and classless and took away my enjoyment of the rest of the show. I get that Bayley may not be everyone's favorite right now but it just seemed like the wrong time and circumstance to react like that. Thanks for answering as I do really enjoy your show each week.
