Riyadh is about 1800 kms from Tehran, so roughly the same distance as Kyiv to Frankfurt. So in other words, not remotely close.

And yes, how does Punk respond to this? The only thing that could kinda make sense is if he just refuses to go to SA and declines the title match completely out of principle (with that being the shoot plan all along)

I guess I'm out of the loop on backstage shenanigans over the years. What is the relevance of those 3 guys related to Punk?

She was maybe out of position for the Starks one but last night was just a completely innocuous landing that unfortunately ended in an injury.

I'd seen a rumour before the show that they were gonna switch the title back to Gunther to build for his program with Goldberg. Apparently one of the SNME shows is in Atlanta. Not sure you need the title for that, unless they're actually thinking of putting the title on Goldberg for a final run.

Of course it's not a work. What if there had been no fan backlash at all to his release and then he randomly shows up in the main event to confused crickets? It was a fun show with a surprisingly very hot crowd. Thought the women's MITB was a bit dull tbh but the men's (while insanely overbooked) was a ton of fun.

I had recently watched his match with Janela, there were a couple of very scary bumps in there. One where he cracked his head open on the bare concrete outside the ring. Any word on if that match contributed to his death?

Just catching up on this thread... how the frick have there been 3 different "Duke"s mentioned on the last couple pages, all separate of each other?

Very good show up until the shitty main event. Travis Scott out there walking slowly to the ring and awkwardly doing his stuff killed any momentum the match had built up. And then Cody looks like a friggin idiot falling for Cena's goofy begging off face. Just really poorly thought out. Women's three way easily the match of both nights.

Enjoyed the main event, that was a lot of fun, but sadly the rest of it was just decent enough. Didn't feel like a WrestleMania tbh.

Petey Williams ate dirt on one of the run ins too.

I normally dislike the whole wrestler who's only got a good entrance thing (I don't get LA Knight's appeal, Ken Kennedy sucked) but Jey Uso feels like he's got a huge connection with the fan base beyond just that. I think they'd be crazy not to put the title on him at Mania. Would be one of the loudest pops in years. Someone said earlier that it doesn't make sense from a business perspective but how does it not? I assume he's one of the highest merch sellers in the company.

You beat me to it. I was 100% getting late 90s Michael Hayes vibes last night. Glad someone else picked up on it.

Enjoyable show overall, with only the forgettable Sami/Miz stuff bringing things down a bit. I knew Lyra Valkyria was from Dublin, but a bit of googling during her match led to the pleasantly surprising news that she's from five minutes down the road from where I grew up in Dublin. Happy for her success!

Your parents? Whatever they're into I guess.
