John from Cincinnati Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 Tuned in to see John Cena, and they capitalize that by... having Charlotte return from a months-long hiatus to immediately win the title! Lmao! New boss seems a lot like the old boss sometimes, don't care here. Keep leaning into how people see her, keep stirring that pot. Never change. I cackled. 1

It is weird because last time he came back his hair looked a bad toupee. Almost Beatles like it was awkward To be fair Cena could have hidden his bald spot but apparently Charlotte had to steal all the hair in the back.

EVA Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 Main event was a fun house show match, but damn Cena just blatantly shouting out the cues for the hot tag was awful. 4

Jesus somewhere a hair extension company is swimming in a pool of money with people getting haircuts less often over the last 3 years, if only we had Brutus the Barber returning as a heel angry that people are letting their hair grow out.
EVA Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 Can’t help but laugh that they’re already giving up on shithouse Top Dolla as a babyface. Sometimes Old Senile Vince could still right about some people.
John from Cincinnati Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 Speaking of Top Dolla, seems the new regime has no problem rubbing a talent's nose in shit either. He can't get over the top rope, what an advantage in the Rumble! 3
The Natural Posted December 31, 2022 Author Posted December 31, 2022 Glad the WWE Smackdown Women's Championship is off Ronda Rousey but big ugh at Charlotte Flair getting it on her return. So, mixed feelings there. 1
Cobra Commander Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 Charlotte beating Ronda for the title is some real "wishing on a monkeypaw" booking 4 1

hammerva Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 One of the biggest issues with Cena trying to be the indie workrate guy against guys like Owens and Styles and Rollins was that he blatantly yelled his shit in the ring trying to do it. I don't remember him being this obvious when he was doing the Kevin Nash style of move set
Mario Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 I definitely bo-lieved that it was time to turn the channel. Does that count? 3
Eivion Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) Sheamus/Solo was good fun. Raquel/Ronda was so damn good and easily the best either woman has looked all year. Charlotte coming back to win the title immediately wa some weird WM IX shit that made me laugh more than anything else. It was dumb and a shitty way to get the belt off of Rousey. Hopefully they lean into the terribleness of it and have Raquel beat Charlotte for the belt at Wrestlemania. The Imperium/Strowman segment was nice outside of Ricochet catching poor Gunther on the head with the chair. Roman/Sami vs. Cena/Owens was too short but still pretty fun overall despite Cena and Carr clearly calling spots for the final tag. A 2 match episode but two fine matches they were.

DragonZombie Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 People think Uncle Howdy is one of these following guys...Bo or Vincent or Vic Grimes. Today is the last day of Goldberg's contract.
DreamBroken Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 Every time I think bray wyatt stuff can't get worse. That is some high level cringe, corny cartoon shit. LA Knight does seem to be trying his absolute best though. And now they will do battle.... in The Mountain Dew Pitch Black Match! Raquel looked legit excellent here, super star quality vibes. Post-match was bizarre and I'm a big Charlotte fan. Charlotte returning suddenly ultra babyface was very odd. I had previously thought they would end up doing Charlotte/Bianca at WM and just today there were reports around that Ronda/Becky plans had suddenly changed to Ronda/Rhea which definitely seemed random. Main event was underwhelming with Cena working about a minute of it. Slow... slow..... Tag! But I'm glad he kept the 'wrestle every year' streak for 20 years of Cenamania. 4
Cobra Commander Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 did they announce the stips for how one wins a Pitch Black match? if not, my idea... there's a lightbulb on a pole and the first person to go up and turn it on wins that might actually be a better stip idea than what they're gonna do 1
Johnny Sorrow Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 That was a fun two hours of professional wrestling. I'm loving the Bloodline/ Sami/ Owens story and it's about time Charlotte Flair came back to squash Rousey. Charlotte Flair is a Pro Wrestling Star and Rousey's return's been a flop. The best thing about her character is Shayna as her lackey. Because Shayna can talk and has pro wrestling charisma. 4

MoeCristyV.1.6 Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 Oh boy, nobody wins in a title switch like that...it's so stupid. Where is Uncle Shucky Ducky when you need him...

Today is the last day of Goldberg's contract. Cameron Grimes right? I’d read that rumor the last time they had Howdy on, because of the way he was tipping his hat. Plus he’s been off of NXT, and supposedly called up to the main roster for awhile now.

Feel like they could have thrown out an "open challenge" and teased it a little. Probably figured there’d be a lot of eyes on Smackdown with Cena returning. And Meltzer reported yesterday that Becky vs Ronda is off at Mania. My guess is they somehow move Bianca (and the Street Profits) to Smackdown since she keeps talking up that she wants Charlotte at Mania. 1

Jamal Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 Charlotte returning and immediately winning the women's championship was probably the most non-Vince Vince decision yet. I have to think there are more interesting ways to utilize her than plopping her right back into the same role that exhausted so many on her in the first place. Other than that, Ronda/Raquel was fine. Nice to see them get some time. 3
