(IT'S THE 750th EPISODE OF SOUR GRAPS!)
Well, first of all, not EVERYTHING sucks. Our long national nightmare is over, and Maxxine Dupri is no longer the Intercontinental Champion.
But they've turned Gunther into a grade school bully, and it looks like Stephanie Vacquer might be seriously injured, and Chris Jericho could be on TV again soon.
So like, MOST things suck, and if CM Punk beats Bron Breakker tonight, then the Suck Dimension is going to crash into our world and the...

Chris Jericho is a heavy topic in pro wrestling, with rumors of his WWE return running rampant.
To be clear, Fightful has not reported nor confirmed that Chris Jericho will be on Raw tonight, or even that he'll be back in WWE at this point. We can't exactly control what other outlets report, but upon a wave of "Chris Jericho's contract has officially retired" posts from engagement accounts, we wouldn't go so quickly on that.
After All Out 2022, Chris Jericho re-signed with AEW, w...

The injury bug is going around.
Fightful Select's Sean Ross Sapp has learned that WWE feared that B-Fab sustained an injury on the WWE Holiday tour. B-Fab wrestled Jade Cargill on the January 1 event in Syracuse, and was not at Smackdown the following night.
B-Fab had replaced Michin on the tour, who was injured earlier in the week. A concussion was the feared injury and why she was pulled from the tour. Whether she actually sustained one or WWE was being cautious isn't clear.

It's the return of the 3rd Hour SmackDown Watchalong!
And that's literally the only reason to celebrate the return of 3 Hour SmackDowns.
Commercials every 5 minutes, more talking than wrestling, and more silly storylines. At least we get to watch an Ambulance Match together.
Everything sucks. Let's talk about it. (And watch it. Along.)
