Justin A. Thomas
2023-08-05 23:57:35 +0000 UTCI actually think they intend on counter-programming
Jordan Lassiter
2023-08-05 23:56:13 +0000 UTCWhat is up with these short match times?
Justin A. Thomas
2023-08-05 23:48:03 +0000 UTCFightful just tweeted she’s returning to WWE

2023-08-05 23:15:50 +0000 UTCIs it true Kairi Sane is backstage??

2023-08-05 23:02:14 +0000 UTCI’m at Ford Field and saw KO on the 2nd level going into where the WWE dining room is
Mike
2023-08-05 22:46:19 +0000 UTCAnything on Bray? He is coming after Cody isn't he? Smh
Troy A Palek
2023-08-05 22:45:53 +0000 UTCYup.
Jon Blain
2023-08-05 22:16:14 +0000 UTCI dunno if you're new here, but we've been posting lineups since 2018
Fightful Select
2023-08-05 22:14:15 +0000 UTCNot a bad line up
Brendan Bdotlion Beal
2023-08-05 21:46:34 +0000 UTCI agree. It sucks, but they left a lot of titles/performers off for many reasons. The card looks amazing. No filler. And the pace of HHH shows has been really good, and I expect Becky and Trish to get a lot of time on raw.
Joseph Cloud
2023-08-05 21:37:26 +0000 UTCDamn logan gotta get in and get out quick to get ting a brothers fight huh? Lol
DiscoDinomite
2023-08-05 21:37:11 +0000 UTCDamn. Logan has enough pull to get the “get me out of here if I’m not main evening” spot ahead of Brock. (I know he’s trying to make his brother’s fight and I respect they’re all working with that)
Joseph Cloud
2023-08-05 21:35:05 +0000 UTCAnd to get Logan to his brothers fight on time.
Trevor D.
2023-08-05 21:35:03 +0000 UTCPretty balanced lineup, I think it gives great spacing for each match to breathe a little
Kenny Avery
2023-08-05 21:34:54 +0000 UTCAgreed. Feel for Becky and Trish and no US title match, but this feels like a strong card and I wouldn’t want any 4-5 minute matches.
Trevor D.
2023-08-05 21:34:50 +0000 UTCLogan-ricochet is 100% the right choice to open. Start with the chaotic frenetic match
Jon Blain
2023-08-05 21:33:00 +0000 UTCBrock lost a rock paper scissors game to Logan Paul to see who goes on first 🤣🤣
Richman
2023-08-05 21:32:19 +0000 UTCProbably gonna get flack for this but looking at how small the card is, it was probably a good idea to get rid of 2 matches. I expect the IC title match and the main event to get the most time.
Jordan Lassiter
2023-08-05 21:32:18 +0000 UTCYou should give pw insider credit they had it hours ago
