Greggulator Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 Pretty Deadly vs. Sheamus/Ridge is as awesome. Great bruiser tag versus cunning heels with good shine moments and a great “pull the guy off the ropes before the hot tag” spot, too. Pretty Deadly also really know their shtick and when to be cowardly and when to preen. The end of this match was GREAT because it tied into continuity of what we have seen the past few weeks. PD exposing the turnbuckle, which Ridge went into neck first that further damaged the throat that Solo injured with a spike a few weeks ago — that is so awesome. It also adds some great dimension to PD as students of the game. The 4-way match was a lot of fun. Cool seeing Santos get the win and someone who hasn’t gotten a bigger shot yet getting the opportunity. I was expecting the Bayley/Shotzi thing to end up as a hair vs. hair match, especially when Bayley came out with Shotzi’s hair like a pelt. I was not thinking we were going to get a “Shotzi snaps” thing. I believe Shotzi was a theater kid and maybe even majored in theater in college. A theater girl who likes punk having a nervous breakdown and shaving her head after an interpersonal conflict? Who in WWE decided to revisit the life of my friend Beth from high school as a storyline? (She is doing fine now — is a professor at a SUNY school, married, 2 beautiful kids.) I am here for it. The main event was some fun overbooking, too. I also liked the real quick promos for next week, and how they ended with LA Knight coming out live. Great way to differentiate him as special. 3
nofuture Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 Seems that Shotzi shaved her head in support of her sister who is currently going thru chemo. Looks like they found a way to make it part of the storyline. 5

Johnny Sorrow Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) That wasn't a perfect show, but it was close. That was fun as fuck. And it made Jey. I loved it . It tied together the start of this story with what's going on now, and it wasn't just for those who've followed it. It also explained why Jey is a threat to new viewers who've jumped on as WWE has gotten hot over the last couple years. What a promo! Edited July 15, 2023 by Johnny Sorrow 3
Eivion Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 Pretty Deadly vs. Sheamus/Ridge was another nice addition of fine wrestling from all involved. Happy PD took the match and how it played off of Ridge's throat injury from the Samoan Spike. Bayley/Zelina was short but decent. Dug the aftermath promo with Shotzi shaving her as she snaps. The 4-way was good fun. Happy to see Santos get the victory. Figured ti would be Waller for certain until it wasn't. Jey's promo and segment with Heyman and Solo was damn good stuff all around. Was great seeing Jey walking tall and the crowd completely behind him. Asuka/Bianca was pretty nice while it lasted and the overbooking with Bayley, Io, & Charlotte was well done. 3
