    Call me old fashioned, but I really really don't get the hype over Gunther.

    Bores the arse off me.

    Honestly, who finds a wrestler that just constantly does chops interesting?

    Saw some comparisons between him and the likes of Bret Hart, LOL

    Yeah hoping he'll break away from LWO sooner rather than later and he can move on to something more substantial. Can excuse it here to get him on the Mania card but this angle is overstuffed already. LWO and Legado should be over now too, it's enough already.

    Him and Gunther would slap for sure.

    Just me or does Sami take those power bombs with too much of his head first? They're rough looking.

    Wow didn't expect that but what a mania moment

    Also what a title reign by Gunther

    Well still would have preferred Gable but still a good match and a legendary reign by Gunther. Sami has been a great worker for WWE the last few years so think this is his pat on the back.

    Hope Gunther moves on to the world title next. Bash in Berlin?

    Also this definitely makes me think Kevin Owens is winning tomorrow.

    Wow, yeah, didn't expect that before the night! Good for Sami… has deserved a singles title after the brilliant work he did in the build up to WM last year - though I can't help but feel like, within the story, it's the wrong finish. It just didn't feel right, like, they kinda rushed into the emotion of the story quite quickly over the past couple weeks. Had Gable done it, it would've felt more 'earned'.

    Kinda funny to have a trailer for Civil War, followed by a red-white-and-blue draped ultra-nationalistic "Wheatley AMERICAN Vodka" commerial…

    Gunther is the logical next challenger for the World Title anyways so it had to happen at some point. If it was Sami's first singles title like it would have been Gables I feel it would mean more but I mean, he's already held the belt twice so it doesn't have the same 'oomph' about it.

    Still a great moment nonetheless

    Gunther V Drew at Summerslam would be great - and with Bash in Berlin, and Clash at the Castle coming not long after, and only a few days apart, there's scope for some sort of 'series' angle like AEW did with the trios belts last year.

    <Edit>

    CatC dates wrong - but still, could see a couple of matches between them, maybe facing each other at Summerslam, with a rematch in Berlin. Maybe Drew wins the first, and Gunther wins the second in Germany. Gives Drew a decent 5 month run, assuming he wins tomorrow.

    Yeah - realised when I searched the date it actually showed me the 2022 date - my mistake! Instead probably just face each other at SS, and then rematch a few weeks later in Berlin.

    So WWE will send everyone home happy with Sami winning, but there has to be heat going into tomorrow's main event... so surely Rock/Reigns going over or some screw job.

    Yeah, has to be a Roman Rock win tonight to give us Bloodline Rules tomorrow. You can't hang the drama of that stipulation over it, and then not pay it off.

    No. the network glitched during the USO match which I hope is a widespread issue, and WWE fix it on demand.

    I'd be absolutely stunned if there was any other outcome. It takes away a lot of jeopardy from the match but at the same time I'm intrigued about how the Rock will fare in this. Probably well protected by frequent tags and Roman doing the donkey work. Hopefully it's fairly physical anyways.

    That was an all-timer of an entrance.

    Gotta assume Rock knew the heat giving himself a belt would have. Say what you want about the Rock and his heel turn but so far he's definitely… known his role 😎

    I'm sorry

    This match desperately needs something. Right now it feels like everyone is going half speed and they're having to guide the Rock through it.

    Think he took one from a double clothesline, not sure he's bumped aside from that.

    I always think the stadium shows with no roof makes it feel like a crowd is dead since the sound will go off into the sky, whereas in an arena with a roof closed the noise has nowhere to go which makes it seem louder

    Started slow but really picked up as it got going - good fun. Was actually a lot less skrew-y than I expected. Was basically just 'anything goes', but no outside interference was surprising.
