Gramsci Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Let me say this and I'll go. No one freely signs a contract, in capitalist conditions there are always relations of domination and oppression. People sell their labor power because they need to cover their basic needs, thus becoming part-time slaves. I think Sasha has always been seen as someone who is injury prone and can't be counted on long term plans. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably Roman interference that leads to a no contest. Edited May 20, 2022 by Tarheel Moneghetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even following but with this being WWE it will be The Usos to break up RKBro so they can be free to go up against Roman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 Yeah, if there's a winner tonight, it's probably the Usos via Roman-terference. They're currently at 305 days into their reign, and only have to get to early November to get the longest WWE tag title reign (pun!) ever. RKBro is fun, but if they're going to be moved back to singles to go back after Roman, now is as good a time as any. All that said -- I'm guessing DQ tonight, with a rematch at HiaC. Possibly in the cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caley Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I watched 30 seconds of Smackdown and heard Shotzi say to Raquel "And I'm going to make you pay for stealing my moment in our match right now, you absurd amazon!" and it was soooooo stupid that I couldn't watch anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kang Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Max Dupri is LA Knight's new name. The WWE Women tags are vacant and will be crowned new champs later. The Uso's unified the mens tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 As for Cole going full stooge mode on Naomi and Sasha. "They let the millions of fans down" Lol. Company is so tone deaf. Nobody is on their side. Even if the company made any valid points vs. talent, they've spent the last 25 years being the "Evil Empire" on screen and most importantly behind the scenes. They'll never win the court of public opinion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) The reaction by McAfee during Cole prepared statement was fascinating. Like he realizes this is kind of bullshit but also knows his place in the company and is confused Also interesting that Sasha and Naomi are still in the company but ALL of their merchandise was taken down. Hell even during the Austin took his ball and left phase they sold his shit Edited May 21, 2022 by hammerva 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Quote After walking out of Raw this Monday, Sasha Banks and Naomi have been "suspended indefinitely" by WWE. The indefinite suspension was announced during tonight's episode of SmackDown. It was also revealed that the Women's Tag Team titles have been vacated and there will be a tournament in the future to crown the new champions. "Their actions disappointed millions of WWE fans and their fellow superstars," Michael Cole said on commentary. "So because of what Sasha and Naomi did this past Monday night, they have been suspended indefinitely. And we will have a future tournament to crown the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions." Cole also said that Banks and Naomi "let us all down" by walking out of Raw. F4wonline.com Man, WWE's not pulling its punches first with the multi paragraph press release, what was said on WWE TV: RAW and now Smackdown. The worst, most aggressive in 20 years when Steve Austin walked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Nakamura/Sami was good. Really dug the finish building off of their last match. Raquel/Shotzi was short and nice. The two always have good chemistry so no surprises here. Still feels weird to see Shotzi as a heel. Woods/Butcher was solid. Its interesting to see Dunne still be a vicious bastard in the ring and so different being a wild maniac opposed to cold, calculating, and occasionally cruel. Usos vs. RKBro was good. Loved the post match beatdown with so many sad children looking on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they are definitely going to be fired then so WWE can make an example?

DEAN Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Ah cool! More Sami Zane! Shinsuke Nakamura is a Japanese version of Zane's Terry Funk so these matches are usually fun. I love how they battle it out to see who is the most over the top. Nakamura bumps big early and does more arty flourishes so I think he wins the Most Funk designation. Fun finish but I was hoping for a countout on Zane so they would have to wrestle again. Sammy Zane is awesome. Jesus, Drew Gulak takes an assbeating from Gunther. That wasn;t very long. Ricochet vs Gunther? That will be odd. Shotzi (Blackheart) is fed to Raquel Rodriguez. Shotzi is spunky! Raquel crushes her a couple of ways. That wasn't very long. Xavier Woods and Butch again. Butch is awesome in this, stepping on Woods head while procuring the armbar. Butch beats on Xavier and he lays it in. Woods with the FLASHPIN! This is definitely Smackdown Dark because I don;t think any match has made it to 5 minutes yet. The Usos and RKBro FOR ALL THE BELTS! Unbelievably, Matt Riddle is a Face in Peril! Unbelievably, Randy Orton is great on the apron. I think Riddle is realizing that this will be his last time to be Ricky Morton so he is leaning into it tonight. This will also be the last time Randy Orton gets to take a hot tag so he is feeling the moment. Great powerslams by Orton. I'm going to miss this when they are broken up. RK Bro were a good Rock and Roll Express. Fun nearfalls as Riddle kicks out after getting slaughtered by the Usos. Slight fuckery by Roman Reigns! And the Usos win! Awww, poor Matt Riddle. Nice Superfly Splash off the top through the table. Yes! Crying children! Kids gotta learn about the hardships of the world. I had Blackjack Mulligan bleeding at the Norfolk Scope, you, my child, get the destruction of Randy Orton and Matt Riddle. RIP RKBro. You were enjoyed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
