Heard the rumor earlier today that Roman Reigns might get a new belt. Looks like it's true. Surprised this didn't leak.

It's tough to comment since i don't watch AEW anymore, but they chose Kris Statlander to beat Jade Cargil?

This Saudi show seemed like it was going to count. Asuka beating Bianca prices that it does count.

I was under the belief that Solo would turn on his brothers. They're playing this like Solo will turn on Roman tomorrow. I'm still not convinced.

Bianca surprisingly has been the best babyface female since she came up from NXT. I don't remember her being anything but a heel in NXT. I think Bianca would kill it as a heel, but the ladies division doesn't have enough credible babyfaces.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/2023/05/26/wwe-night-of-champions-results-winners-new-world-heavyweight-champion/70258383007/ I saw this story and was thinking WTF? I watched most of the pre show "conference" i don't remember any of the Saudi shows being taped. Turns out that USA today published the template for this dude's coverage of night of champions. Digital media today is sooooo bad.

So Nic Cage's never filmed Superman is a supposed cameo? That's good be with the price of admission right there.

I'm loving the hot weather. It's warming the pool up enough that i don't have to run the heater. I'm making it goal to teach my pup to like going in the water.

The last two years for us.

So a Monday night game which it looks like they've moved it up an hour. Also one four o'clock game. Gotta bust out the sun screen again.

Schedule coming out in a few minutes. My prediction for the Bucs...... No Monday night games. More 1pm games in the searing heat.

I dozed off in and out towards the end. I did not see the Cody-Lesnar match. What kinda shocked me was how good Omos looked in his match against Seth. Maybe he's starting to understand how big guys are supposed to wrestle.

Jack Links just had the grossest commercial I've seen in a while. Sasquatch taking a major piss.

Bianca and Io just killed it. What is shocking is that the crowd was almost all on Io's side.

Wait. So Kayden/Katana are going to Raw? What is the point of the women's tag title match tomorrow then? They're both leaving.

So Zoey Stark and JD McDonaugh were drafted. JD is like the Family Dollar Finn Balor.

I wouldn't put all of this on Vince. The draft had been meh for a while. Hell they ditched it all together last year. If there is a criticism it should be that they didn't go all in on the draft. You went up against the NFL draft. Make it a thing. Record something and air it after SmackDown.

If you asked me which NXT stars would be drafted first, Alba and Isla would have been WAY down on my list. And Indi...... Good for her. Don't know if she's completely ready, but maybe they're getting "The Way"(sans Theory) back together. I still think WWE needs a show for the women. I don't know how they'd do it. There is just too many women for 5 hours of television.

I find it funny that the NFL and NBA drafts are the worst most of these players will ever dress. Like this dude from Texas Tech. WTF is that outfit.

Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry Springer 79

Roderick Strong made his AEW debut saving Adam Cole. Funny thing is that no one knew he was gone from WWE. Too bad Kyle O'Reilly is still out hurt and Bobby Fish was released.

So i just watched Raw. Dumb. You rip Roman for not wrestling all the time so you make a new belt? That's your angle? I didn't think much when i saw the story last night, but it seems hokey the more I think about it. Am I wrong to think this was all Vince?

So they're splitting the titles after the draft. Roman Reigns will remain the Universal Champion. Whatever brand doesn't draft Reigns will have to crown a new WWE Champion. With a new champion HHH decided to make a new belt. I don't know if i like it. Maybe it will grow on me. The IC Title still hasn't, but this looks a lot better than the IC belt.

I think instead of opening thread for a small topic, we can do a thread for the off the top of your head sports thoughts.

Who's watching?
