This man literally heel turned as a heel. He didn't get nuclear heat for 1 RAW and was like "You know what, let's not do that again."

apparently if you sexually harass someone enough they'll eventually come to your side.

I’m gonna assume our two hell in a cell matches will be Punk and Drew and Liv/Rhea

Will Roman wrestle before War Games? Will Jimmy Uso even be cleared by then?

Coming in here specifically to say this.
If they make Roman as the OTC a thing I'm gonna cry because in the US, ESPECIALLY among "the poors" that means an entirely different thing and I'm gonna have a real hard time taking Roman seriously if he's going around calling himself "Over the Counter" like a product I can get off government benefits.

I’ve never heard someone refer to over the counter medication as OTC and I work in the medical field lol

God damn that was a great show. The only thing that kinda disappointed was Punk/Drew but I guess they're saving a lot for the blow off in Hell in a Cell. I really wish Drew just ripped that bracelet to pieces. It's the worst thing about the feud, including Seth.
Priest/Gunther was incredible, match of the year contender for me.
And once more for those in the back: "poor Walter."

I’m rather surprised no one here has much heard of it, its a quite common thing

In regards to the show, I freakin loved it. Judgment Day imploding was a long time coming. Gunther as World Champ is going to be great. Bayley/Nia overdelivered imo. Romans return was great. Liv/Rhea was great, the Dom turn worked perfectly. LA Knight finally got his title, Logan Paul still has no right to be doing things like that moonsault - freak athlete. Bron will take the IC title to new heights, as much as I like Sami - glad his reign is over. Should have gone to Gable months ago.
Only negatives to me were the amount of time spent on that stupid bracelet for Punk/Drew and I’ll still never buy Solo is a main eventer. Jacob Fatu outshines him in every way, just hope his injury isnt too bad.

I have never once heard this in my life. OTC is commonly known in the US as "Over the Counter" overall, but more people refer to it as "over the counter" fully said out. But for people on government health insurance, we have "OTC cards" and "OTC benefits" that specifically allow us to get a certain amount of non-presription health stuff free every month/quarter. And they are literally called that. "OTC Benefits/cards" So yeah. While many people might think it's a random association but not get hung up on it, I will never be able to take him seriously in an "OTC" shirt because it is hardwired into my brain as a poor person that "Oh, I can pay for that on medical food stamps"

I thought the show was pretty disappointing.
The storytelling was really good, but I wouldn't want to rematch a single match from last night. Part of that is the card being incredibly mediocre to begin with, I didn't go into dying to see anything other than Punk/Drew.
Speaking of which, really disappointed me. Adding Rollins and the bracelet turned it into a really gimmicky match, after what I thought was a world beating build up. They cooled it down with ice, and then did a super paint by numbers match.
It certainly wasn't HBK vs HHH in 2002, which was built up in shorter time, got ultra violent much faster, and was a truly special match. Funny enough, they did all of that, and still managed to get several more months out of their angle.
Liv/Dom isn't my type of angle, and the match did zero for me, but it made Rhea a super babyface. Just not a fan of someone like Liv ever going over a Rhea, who is a female heavyweight. Not believable to me.
Solo and Cody was boring as hell, played like a TV match to me. Roman's return was an all timer, he's the most popular wrestler in the world, but a significant margin. That was a 1999 Austin reaction imo. The Bloodline civil war won't produce masterpieces, but it's going to make a fortune.
Gunther/Priest was damn good, but I just wasn't invested. I don't care about Priest, just wanted to see Gunther win and carry out this reign. I'm excited for this a lot.
Paul/Knight was my favorite match, I enjoyed the highspots a lot, and I loved the pacing. Knight really put together his best match thus far imo, but Logan's athletics carried it. He might not be able to walk out and work a match with no prep or choreography, but who cares? That's not my business, he does what he needs to at a high level.
Over a 3/10 show me for me. Needed a better card, as on paper, nothing here was going to be an all time classic.

LA Knight finally winning gold was crazy. What a match. Logan Paul never misses.
