WWE TV, Rumours and Discussion (On Netflix)

Corey Graves in hot water, move down to NXT makes sense, I'm in PWN on Discord which has a couple of insiders, long story short

Spoiler: Corey Graves

Corey talked shit about someone Nick Khan thinks very highly of either to his face or within earshot

If "someone" is Macafee, this is 100% a work.

In some ways, Vince's WWE was a simpler time. We would've known by the end of this week whether or not it was a work, cos he would've been fired by the end of the week.

Also Dakota Kai deserved to lose, simply for how bad the name of her finisher is.

the Go To Kick; or the "Kai-ropractor"?

It's not McAfee, it's Joe Tessitore, Khan is a big Tess guy from back in his agency days.

I still think Cole/Graves is their best announcer combo currently.

May be working. But I agree with him if he's serious (even if handling it privately probably a better idea). He's miles better than both McAfee (who I understand getting the gig) and Barrett. It's the latter who makes no sense being on a main show over CG.

 

[Chris_6678]

Just bring Vince back to commentary.

Wyatts have been "traded" to Smackdown.

They have been so disappointing. Matter of time before all of them are released.

I usually like McAfee, but I was genuinely disgusted with his commentary today.
He's phoning it in. Sounds bored and isn't offering anything. Cole struggled to play off him.

Cory gives 100% every time.

Yeah I'll take Greaves over McAfee's bafoonery any day. But this is probably a work.

just get the AI. "what a maneuver", "baaaaaaaaack bodydrop", "1-2-3, he got him, no he didn't"

The Wyatt's thing is weird, I thought it was an interesting idea having them as low-key babyfaces who targeted people who turned on a brother, but it went nowhere, they didn't have a long term plan.

I'm fairly sure they're going to SD to feud with what's left of Solo's bloodline, using the same motivation. But the whole thing has fizzled out already, it doesn't matter any more.

No way they are towards the top of the card. They have no momentum at all.

Wont survive next round of cuts. Pretty sad considering how big Bray and the gimmick was.

With Penta in WWE does that mean his Brother Rey Fenix also coming to WWE?

His brother is stuck in an extended contract with AEW.
When they heard Penta and Fenix wanted to go to WWE, they "randomly" added injury time to his contract so he couldn't go. Then told both of them that there were no creative plans for them currently.

I'm really enjoying the production of Raw on Netflix.

Michael Cole made 2 audible snafus today in the crossover between the show proper and what's happening in the breaks - which wasn't a big deal, but it was noticeable cos Cole is such a pro, you almost don't realise how good he is until he makes an error like that (twice) and it sticks out like dogs balls.

I love the visual production though. It looks so much better than it did on Kayo, and that drone shot is to die for, I just hope they don't start overdoing it when they realise how incredible it looks.

I also hope it doesn't run out of batteries/have a rogue operator/have a mechanical failure that ploughs it into a fans head, it really, really feels like one of those things that will only have to go wrong once.

Yep people are getting worked. He’s put another message out saying he’s got a lot to say and you need to tune into nxt tonight.

He’s been cleared to return to the ring for a few years now so….

I love it they’ve nailed it, I don’t get any ads so for me it’s been smooth as.

One thing graphically I enjoy is the custom name plates for pretty much everyone. Most talent have their own logo or name design on T shirts so they should just keep using them as name plates on entrances.

It’s early days but everything they did yesterday segment wise was done well in terms of timing and how it transitioned into something else.

Now apparently not appearing?

Ah fair enough either way hope it’s a work and not him taking his ball and going home. I rate his work.
