LUKE: The best ones will be read on the WrestleTalk Podcast.

Comments

James Markin

Punk became everything he complained about 15 years ago. Dude leaves for months and just wins a world title again. Meanwhile guys that been busting there asses for months get cooled off and told "your the ready yet".

Wheels

This company. I know they were only booking for the moment in Saudi Arabia but it is quite disappointing that after 10 years we only got Sami Zyne as champion for nine days. I’m a CM punk fan and I understand they were in Chicago but I think it’s kind of crazy that he wins the world title on his first night back win the last thing he did on WWE programming was lose a world title match.

Evan

CM Punk winning the title is so boring. It's the laziness of Triple H and the fact that he just doesn't care about storytelling. Sami Zayn should have held this belt to unless the Fall. This is why Sheamus is better off anywhere else.

Mohammed Albanai

I give WWE props for trying to put on a show against the US world cup match. 3 championships on the line including a world title change in a great match. There was a time where they would give up and put out a filler episode. All in all it was a great show (except for the Seth rollins promo that went on for too long)

Evan

Amen brother

Chris

This feels like the goodwill of night of champions has just immediately been burned Sami is done (and was ANOTHER "moment-based" bit of booking) and its clearly going to be punk vs Cody at summerslam based on him "stealing" Cody's shot Oba won KotR and then just seemingly fully gave up the title shot without even considering it (which could've been a compelling tv moment) We're running back the pedestrian bloodline nonsense And now the onscreen booking is telling us the Vision are losers even when they win titles.

AZIZ

Great raw, I like how they actually did some long term storytelling with the RAM episode where Punk said you never know when an opportunity for a title shot might be given and for him to fulfill that with his return tonight. Yeah Sami lost, but now we can finally see him transition from wannabe good guy to full on delusional heel

Jamaal Ellison

Hey, I actually didn't hate this Raw. I mean, I have some issues, like the Street Profits and Sami Zayn getting hand-me-down title reigns. And Triple H's booking is somehow boring, predictable, and safe all at once. But honestly, a lot of it is shaping up to be pretty intriguing. Summerslam feels like a WrestleMania card.

Jack McEwen-Quy

Foolishly opened twitter first looking for football and what do i see first?CM Punk holding a belt. Are we just gonna play hot potato in people's area to get a big pop? Yes yes we are

AZIZ

lol he’s been a hypocrite for a while, you’re acting like it just happened for the first time where Punk went against what he said over a decade ago, he’s human, get over it.

KidCutty

Yoooo great Raw tonight! I know people will complain because thats what they do lol but ima say the same thing I said when Kofi won the title. Regardless of the aftermath...Im STILL glad I got to experience him win the championship. At least this one makes storyline sense for Punk 🤷🏿‍♂️

Brent

I really feel like HHH has a plan but has to do all these moments to make you believe they are pushing young stars or finally giving older stars what they deserve. Oba winning KOTR was a moment but Oba vs Brock 3 was planned and that reward for winning KOTR of getting a title shot at Summerslam didn't matter. Seth Rollins facing Roman at Summerslam for the title was always the plan. Being able to ask for a title shot shouldn't be the way while there was a better way of getting there ie winning KOTR. Cody vs Punk is finally happening but why have Sami win the belt so he could drop it to Punk. Because they wanted a moment and Sami wasn't going to champion at Summerslam because Cody vs Punk was in the plans. I would rather have Sami still haven't won the belt than have him winning the belt only to drop it 9 days later for a returning CM Punk so he could have his long-awaited match against Cody. I was really hoping for the Vision to not be a thing anymore but nope, they are still a thing. Street Profits winning the titles only to drop them right back to the Vision is another "Moment Booking". At least Maxxine finally turned heel but the cost of still having the Vision as a group. I feel really sad about Raquel now especially after hearing Michael Cole saying she hasn't won Main Roster singles gold. She deserves a championship run with her reinvention as the female Kevin Nash. At least the IC scene is looking pretty good right now. Also Bayley and Lyra is building nicely. Summerslam is going to have some good matches but the booking of the matches is god awful.

AZIZ

lol Oba is still going for the belt, just after summerslam. WWE hasn’t had goodwill in a while, you’re acting like NoC was Mania 40.

James Markin

I know he been a hypocrite for a while but it's relevant for what happened tonight. I mean he crapped on guys like Hogan doing this stuff (righfully so) but then now it's ok.

AZIZ

Boring? Debatable, unpredictable? For sure. Nobody thought Punk was gonna win the title tonight

AZIZ

Yeah, people change. Welcome to life

Brett A

I have never liked the ad breaks but the longer Seth kept going the more I started to miss them

Pogo is here

I cancelled my Netflix last month cos I didn't use it enough to justify the price + paying for something with adds is stupid. so this was the last week I could watch wwe and my god what a episode to end on

Dominic Smith

I know they are all meant to be "sport entertainers" but some of the acting this week was just terrible. So staged and fake, it just didn't give any realism. Poor Sami those

COMPANY NETWORK

New AEW pay-per-view: AEW: All In All It Was A Great Show (Except For The Jericho Promo That Went On For Too Long)

Jamaal Ellison

I'm really curious if Punk will drop the title to Cody, making him a four-time champ. That feels a bit much given how little time has passed since he won his first, or will he face someone else after SummerSlam? And what about Sami?

Wahab Fares

CM punk is the reason I got into wrestling, CM punk leaving is the reason I stopped watching in 2014, CM punk is the reason I came back to wrestling. All that and they’ve still managed to make a CM Punk world title win boring for me, incredibly lazy and uninspiring booking. Poor Sami.

James Markin

that doesnt shield him for critism over it especially when it relates to happened on Raw.

Brandon

listen, I am not someone who thinks transitional reigns are pointless or inherently bad, Darby just had an amazing one but they need to be JUSTIFIED! what was the point of Sami holding the title for 9 days (the shortest title reign since the mi in 2021), what did it add to this story. all they did was change who held the title going into summerslam which they didn't need to do and arguably makes the story worse since the story of Cody vs Punk was based entirely around PUNK beating CODY for the title. I was not against Sami having a short reign (hell, I theorized he was going to drop it to Brock or Oba at SNME so the HIAC had stakes) but not having a SINGLE successful defense and losing it on the show the belt doesn't belong too is just an insult to both the wrestlers and the viewers. this isn't even "bad at booking and don't care" because they DO care, but only about their plans and will never deviate from it no matter how little sense it makes. they are bad at booking and think less of you. besides that though, fine enough Raw, I really like the IC division, the Rusev/Page team is great and I am excited to see the IC gauntlet next week.

Brett A

Losing in chicago dont work for me, brother

Graff

Needed this after the heartbreak on Saturday against England. It makes no sense at all but it distracted me for a bit.

AZIZ

Never said it shields him from it. He will forever be known as a hypocrite, I’m just saying he’s already proven he is, why still complain about it

Peter Siddorn

Well at least Sami didn't drop the title to Cody

MunchEater

Adam pierce fed sami to the wolves here

Pollo

It’s crazy how dirty they did Sammy like Yha we all knew he was going b a transitional champion but dam Evn aew gave Darby at least one month

Lily Petal

What are my thoughts about RAW? 4 letters, 1 word, YAWN.

Scott Adams

I know the tag division has been an afterthought for a while, but how have the Street Profits not done more? Based on Montez’s charisma alone and them being together for a while now (in a pretty pedestrian division otherwise), it just seems like they should have a lot more memorable moments than they do.

Harry Burke

I hope this is going somewhere. Give us a CM Punk heel turn or something. Set up a Sami Zayn reclaiming the title storyline to pay off later down the line. Do something. As it is, hot potato-ing the title only reinforces the belief that WWE are booking for moments and not for storylines.

Vectron44

Why does it feel like one world title is treated seriously by Hunter and the other treated like a hashtag maker? Also, is it coincidence that the belt that is treated seriously is the one that a) has all the (pretend) heritage that Hunter loves and b) is the one he held most prominently? The only way this at all is justifiable is if Sami wins the Rumble and challenges a heel CM Punk at Mania next year. But I am sure not holding my breath.

MunchEater

When Rusev was putting Joe Hendry in the accolade a kid in my row was schreeching Rusev to stop it. Poor kid still very funny tho

mike wolfe

L.A. Knight starts the show complaining that a babyface gets a title shot not by winning matches but for nostalgia. The show ends with a babyface getting a title shot not by winning matches but for nostalgia. Sol Ruca can't get a strong title defense due to shenanigans. The Judgement Day look weak in winning a title due to shenanigans The booking of this show is unnerving.

JJ Bittenbinder

From this day on, for the rest of my life, I will hate CM Punk. Disgusting. Disgraceful. The disrespect towards Sami Zayn. Remember CM Punk speaking up for wrestlers like Zack Ryder & Chris Masters & others? The man once again proves himself to be a hypocrite, he now basically shares a golden shovel with his enemy turned lover Triple H. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Tariq Ali

I dont know what WWE was trying to accomplish by putting the title on Sami, but all it resulted in was a spinning newapaper article titled "Wrestling company embarrasses itself" It feels like there is a pervasive lack of direction throughout creative in the company

James Markin

cause again it relates to raw

That Welsh Guy

What's that, WWE had its first actively new top champ in years? Can't be having that, air drop in Pink because we can't risk Cody getting boo'd for winning the belt of Zane. Nothing can or will change in Paul's WWE

that guy who want to support

So now it's fine when the guy who hasn't been around in months just takes the main event spot of the hard working one who's there every week? Don't get me wrong I'm not mad I don't care enough for that I'm hust finding this whole situation of irony incredibly funny 😂

DennyDorko

I can see the logic behind the bait & switch title match since they reportedly want to do Cody/Punk at Summerslam, and putting the title on Punk in Chicago was the only way to get the belt off of Sami without the result getting booed out of the building...BUT the part that annoyed me was how Adam Pearce was not able to "find" a replacement for Cody, which (in a building full of professional wrestlers) is a ridiculous story beat that stretches the suspension of disbelief beyond recognition. Did Gunther have his phone turned off all night? Did Jey Uso forget to pay his wireless bill? Come on.

Aaron Davies-Friend

And that brings to a close Sami Zayns only world title reign. If he ever wins a wwe world title again, I do the wrestletalk talk news in my underwear

DennyDorko

"I genuinely think broadcasting Raw from Vienna is a splendid idea." -Gunther (probably)

Rory Swaine

I mean I knew Sami was losing tonight but not like this. I wonder if this is the start of a heel turn for Punk. Also can Triple H stop trying to make the vision happen? It’s not going to happen!

Homerstar

What’s the point of getting invested in any other wrestler when by the time it comes to one of the big shows, they just make a match between the top stars.

KFizzle4

Nights like this make me glad I stopped watching WWE.

ScottJDev

Well they've done it again! They've created another great moment, you can't deny Punk winning the title was a big moment for free TV, and the pop it generated was massive! Bit that's where it will end, just a moment, no long term story, no satisfying pay-off likely for Sami, GUNTHER or Cody. Just a moment.

Homerstar

Do you want to know what’s frustrating. That’s an amazing story. Punk going against everything he believed in. But not only are they not telling that, they’re still acting like he is the voice of the voiceless.

Georgi Pelov

The same people that are bitching about Punk wining are the same people that would have been like why is wwe championship match at sumerslam feel like a mid card championship match so yeah no winning

TheBigBossDog

La Knight must be watching wrestletalk at this point

Matt

I’m sure if you live in Chicago then it’s cool that every time WWE comes to you Punk does something cool. It’s a national show that travels, and it’s really annoying that everytime they’re there everything has to revolve around him. And it takes away cool moments/returns from being surprises for other episodes or cities because of course it just has to happen in Chicago. This could have been cool for another babyface or even a shock Sami retention, but it’s Chicago, so obviously it has no drama it had to be Punk and he had to win.

Tyhlir

Literally all WWE had to do was copy the Darby Allen reign. Literally just copy it exactly and people would've been at least content. 9 days??? That's crazy...

RedHood93

So the Street Profits Tag Team Title Reign and Sami Zayns WWE Championship Reign meant precisely nothing. I'm a CM Punk fan, but what was the point of making it look like Gunter was right and Sami Zayn was a fluke champion? What was the point of the Street Profits winning last time? So Maxine's heel turn means something, because to be honest does anyone care about the vision? Breakker has been cooled down, Logan Paul is a genuinely unlikable person, and Austin Theory in Kayfabe has no personality apart from (now) I have a hot girlfriend?

Mr. Samuel Scratch

The great thing about booking your show to try and avoid people on the internet saying mean things about your product is how sustainable it is! Remember when people thought the guy who ripped off Shao Kahn for his OC was a creative genius?

Florian Groß

Well, the in-ring action was good. Most promos and the acting in general were a bit off for me. Sami and the Street Profits having absolutely meaningless reigns just for the moment sucks as well. They could have had Oba use his KotR title shot in the main event or have Gunther face Sami and still get a Punk moment somehow, with him staring down the winner. And the tag titles still revolving around the Vision is getting stale - even with the new developments around Maxxine and Heyman.

Liam

As a huge Sami Zayn fan, it's almost impressive that him winning the title didn't draw me back in to watch the product. That can be put down to how obvious it is that something like this was around the corner. And I'm a Punk guy!

Andy R

Even though Punk Cody is fresh and may be a Punk heel turn it doesnt feel fresh? 4/5 of the 2 main events from Mania 41 are the main events at Summerslam 15 months later (the other guy retired) i guess everyone still has a lot to learn

Fin Brennan

Commentary the whole night: “Well, we’re in Chicago, Illinois and Sami needs a new opponent for tonight. We don’t know who it will be yet…”… 🙃 I know it’s all in good fun but it’s still so laughable

Figment

I'm a pretty big CM Punk fan (got his logo tattooed on me) but I was not happy with him beating Sami for the title. Rey Mysterio got a better title run than this. The rest of the show was ok. Though why did The Vision regain the tag titles? Just let that group die already!

Lewis Kelly

I love CM Punk, I'm glad he's back but I'm not sure if giving him the title to just inevitably lose to Cody at Wrestlemania is the right thing to do. It's basically a mirror image to Punk vs Roman Last year and doesn't exactly thrill me with the possible creative direction for the rest of the year. Unless they turn Punk Heel

The Jursus

I will admit they swerved me twice this episode but I was just annoyed both times. First, after Heyman talking to the Vision before the Tag Title match, I was sure they would finally put an end to that misery and set Bron free but fool me for expecting them to stop beating a dead horse. Then, Punk winning the belt shows that surprises can be boring. I am not even interested in Punk vs Cody anymore, I just want to see new people fighting for the top prices at the main shows. Admittedly, I am biased here as I am a ride or die Sami Zayn fan. So, with that being said: JUSTICE FOR SAMI

Kevin Fleuriot

I said I was going to enjoy every second of Sami's reign, and I did. Back to hating this company now ! LET'S GO Also, the crowd was terrible for a Chicago crowd.

KingWickedLee

Legit Question, What is the vision tag team move? what is Austin theory's Finisher?

Jamie Brown

So punk is WWE champion. My guess is Oba retires Brock but continues his Heyman feud past Summerslam, uses his title match to take WWE title from Punk (who makes up with Heyman) and then at wrestlemania as a last resort Heyman turns to Roman and we get Roman vs Oba to unify the titles?

James Boulton

I called it after NoC - this was just like the Miz in 2021. This was just so Punk could win the title without pinning Cody. Sami winning the title should have been a true 'feel-good' moment of fulfilling a dream. What a waste.

Dean Brereton

Got to be honest, I didn't hate this episode, we actually had a world title match on Raw which we haven't since Punk was champ, decent LA Knight promo, heel turn, injury angle and new wwe and tag champs. Raw had stuff on it which had stakes! Get the Sami short champ run heat, but did anyone think he was having a long run? most people thought he was losing the title back to Cody right? I am a CM Punk fan so of course I am going to be pleased, appreciate the isn't a popular opinion but WWE will always go with the bigger star, with Sami I don't dislike or like him however, if you honestly believed he was going to get a long run? look at the last few champions of each belt? Seth, Punk, Roman for WT and Cena, Cody, Drew for WWE. Even Drew stands out slightly. Maybe Sami wins MITB, personally think that's Fatu but this was coming.

paul young

I signed up purely to make this point. The writing on this so is illogically. Seth: We came in as a group but we were told roman is the guy, he will main event wrestlemania. Seth: When i broke up the shield, when i cashed in at mania it was to catch up to roman. The people who told you roman was the guy, where the same people who told you to break up the shield and cash in. You cant tell us this is all scripted and then tell us, well my things are real.

Lawrence

Mind boggling booking! Why not give Sami a proper story going in or coming out, just 8 days and done. This will be a "Remember when Sami was champ" in a years time, So disappointing.

paul young

Another illogical point. Nick Aldis: I have made a call and this person is in the building. Later on Punk comes in from a loading bay suggesting he just arrived. So punk arrived between cody not getting medically cleard at 830pm local time was in the building got changed and then went outside to come back in rather than walking from locker room. All aldis had to say was "he is on his way"

CDE

Why be interesting when you can be safe? During the Sami match Michael said "part of being a champion is defending your belt" even though we have champions who haven't defended since April. It feels like no one in creative actually knows the characters they are writing for. Punk Sami was a good match but punk winning makes no creative sense and is lazy booking, but hey it was Chicago so "What a crowd"

MasterNate

I just wanted better for Sami honestly. I knew Cody and Punk was the plan for Summerslam, and when they announced that Cody was out of the main event, we all knew what would happen. That just doesn't make up for them yet again holding Samu Zayn back. Obvious booking doesn't mean it's bad, sure, but when the obvious story is sidelining such a beloved and talented star *yet again* after we've all waited for years to see him get his moment, it just feels like a safety switch decision because they don't want to let Sami be the guy. Only *a* guy who can now say he has the championship accolade and nothing else to show for it

Chris

He gave away the title shot from winning KotR. Rather than give it a week to breathe, and have oba do an actual segment about how its a big deal but hes different they just tried to wave it off, to the point that people didnt know if he was giving up the shot or just postponing it.

Morgan Leggett

It will never not amaze me how WWE always find incredibly stupid ways to get to boring and predictable destinations

KingWickedLee

I am a CM Punk fan, I was right there crying with Oli when he came back at AEW. I shed tears when we Finally Main evented Mania. I am biased about Roman vs Punk my fav match of all time. I want to see cody vs Punk. But i was disappointed In the booking tonight. Hard wwe it makes you not want to cheer for your hero winning a world title in his hometown. bitter taste.

KingWickedLee

IDK , I don't think a single person really thought Sami was walking out of Chicago with the title. Cody was highly favorited to win and we were going to have punk vs Cody at Summerslam. So the moment Gunther attacked cody in Chicago i think everyone knew Punk was taking the title.

KingWickedLee

Good thing chad gable can win the IC title at Summerslam so we don't have to hot potato the WWE title there for a hometown pop. lol

Morgan Leggett

CM Punk has become everything he once swore against. CM Punk used to be my guy, much like Oli's but everything thats happened since he came back to AEW until now, I'll honestly not be sad if I never see him on my screen again.

Julio Mendoza

This is the first Raw I watched fully and I honestly the ads might have been some of the best parts of the show overall I love LA Knight and his passion every time he’s on the mic and absolutely saved that segment with Rollins and this might be a hot take but Paul Heyman’s promos in recent years have been getting worse and worse idk just might be also wish Sami got a longer reign but still happy Punk won finally Cody Vs Punk after how many years now!

Drew Vincent Curwood

I can't wait for the day we get past shield lore, romanticizing the pipebomb and summer of punk nostalgia

RealDoubleJ

If this gets me a Punk-KO feud, I'm not complaining

Zach

Transitional champions are fine as long as they tell a story. We all knew Sami as champ wasn't long for this world but if it told a good story, it would be fine. Dropping the title to punk, who wasn't even scheduled on the show for a cheap hometown Chicago pop, is not good storytelling

That Welsh Guy

Unfortunately I can tell you the point, "oh no people are getting bored of Cody as champ again, better take the belt of him, but we can't do him and punk on a non big 4, or have him lose it on tv. Better throw it on the guy who just took a pay cut to stay here for a week and a half"

That Welsh Guy

This would be the only saving grace, just to watch someone who can actually talk show people Punk has been over hyped on the mic for nearly 15 years now

Darren Lloyd

How were 2 suspended Smackdown people on raw? Also can we stop doing #1 contenders matches that lead to someone else getting a title shot

Sir Fudds Pennyworth

I'm kinda suprised that people are acting shocked and annoyed that Sami lost. Like no offense guys, but he was never gonna hold that title past the first defense. He was always gonna lose it in his first defence. Sure maybe his first title defence came a little earlier then we expected, but we really shouldn't be suprised. Sami is not destined for long title reign status. He get's to win the belt for the "moment". Then drop it instantly to someone else. Look deep into your souls. It was written in the stars. It was always gonna end this way for him. Just think, would you rather him lose to Cody rather then Punk? Personally I'll take Punk any day over more Cody.

TLC

Idk how Oli managed to do it but he did it! He got married and got cm punk a title as a wedding gift. But seriously having Sami hold the title for a week is insane to me and also bad booking. I didn’t think it could ever happen but I think I’m starting to dislike the same stars that got me back into wrestling after the pandemic

Matthew Kappos

CM Punk loved giving new stars a chance when he was one. Now he's 2011 John Cena taking the title from Rey Mysterio the same night he won it. Punk, Cody, Rollins and Reigns to headline SummerSlam. Even when Oba wins a guaranteed title shot he cant prevent the same four old men having their one millionth day in the sun. Sami's first title win can only happen once. It could have been a great moment but they missed that chance and had him win in the middle of a heel turn, and based on this reign he'll never be champion again.

Chris deaton

Now Bron is an extra character to a love angle between Austin Theory and Maxine. Sigh

BlackYakuzu94

This is not a complaint, but its very hilarious Sami got so much heat for the Hogan accusations, only for Punk to do this to him and get lauded for it. Absolutely hilarious levels of hypocrisy.

Matthew Kappos

We need a Zayn, Owens, Gargano and Gable faction: "The four Horseman of if AEW started 10 years earlier we'd be some of the biggest stars in wrestling". Really rolls off the tongue.

TheBusterGroove

To me it feels like Triple H read the criticisms about how WWE became to predictible and boring and now everything has to be unpredictible. Why should i get invested in the KOTR tournament if the winner decides that he would rather face someone else? Why should i get invested in the rounds of said tournament if the loosers get No.1 Contender Matches just in the following week? And why should i get invested in that match if someone else gets the title shot and wins the damn thing. And this are only some of the examples of the last week.. Of course a bit of unpredictability is nice in wrestling, but this is to much for me.

Jared Rasmussen

I said this at Night of Champions, and it was re-affirmed last night, but Sami winning the title was the same “booking for moments” that well-meaning critics all hate. Regardless of how you/we/most everyone feels about the guy, it reeks of lazy booking to hotshot the title just to pop the Saudi crowd, and last night did the same to pop the Chicago crowd. Wrestling matches aren’t held in a vacuum. They need build-up to resonate. Sami’s win is as hollow as Andre’s, as opposed to fulfilling like Kofi’s — none had a satisfying reign or conclusion, but at least Kofi had a great (or any) build.

Joseph Machado

What an interesting Raw, and window of time for WWE. It feels like I'm saying "On Paper" for everything. "On Paper", Punk winning should be awesome but instead is an intentional swerve to avoid Cody winning the title again with zero earned effort.. "On Paper", Gunther attacking Cody would be interesting if it didn't make him look stupid when Punk swooped in to take the title match out from under him. "On Paper", LA Knight and Seth sound cool, until you listen to LA just regurgitate comment sections from YouTube videos and realize he's not being pushed, just being used to secretly backhand the audience. Its up and down the entire card, "On Paper" it should be awesome, instead its just meh. I don't think the current era of WWE is salvagable until the new generation steps up to put their own stamp on it.

Kitty Kat

One of my favorite wrestlers from my childhood won the WWE championship after almost 15 years. And I feel nothing.

Jeremiah Culver

As a WWE hater for the past year and some change just finding most stuff just so bland, this Raw got me excited for storylines. Maxine, LA Knight, Heyman and Theory, Oba (has been the only highlight for a while). Shame about Sami, didn’t have a chance to prove he could hold it. But I personally don’t hate the Punk win as much as the internet does. Hope Sami gets it again

Blake

I’m not surprised that Zayn dropped the title so quickly. A heel Zayn will never be booked as a credible champion and, to me, he was always going to drop it in his first defense, What annoys me is that there are no stories in WWE anymore. Everything is moments. Zayn won the title to get a huge pop in Saudi. Punk won it from him (with zero build) to get a huge pop in Chicago. There is no reason to get invested in anything. The rules are made up and the points don’t matter. This company…

KidCutty

Naw nobody was talking about CM Punk. I kept hearing streamers complaining that BROCK LESNAR was gonna take the title. But NOW people acting like they didnt spend weeks of headlines saying Brock and ALWAYS knew it was gonna be CM PUNK 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️ Thats the IWC for you tho 🤷🏿‍♂️😂

Harry peach

I'm heartbroken sami lost the title after just 9 days and proof that the Saudi win was just for the moment but unfortunately as soon as the show was revealed to be in Chicago I knew what was coming. Cm punk cashes in his it's in Chicago clause to set up a match with Cody at summerslam wich looks to be a lose lose as you either put the belt back on Cody and we're right back where we started or punk goes on another face run wich doesn't get me excited maybe if he's heel after summerslam but even then sucks for sami

Caleb James

Look I like Sami Zayn I'm happy that he won the title but Punk Vs Rhodes for the title is a way more interesting feud for me than Zayn Vs anyone. I don't hate this.

darth Jmarks

I don’t care that I wanted Sami to hold the title. I don’t care it’s only been 9 days. I don’t care this is the type of thing 2011-2012 Punk would’ve despised. I cannot believe Cm Punk is WWE champion again

Rasmus Harning

I haven’t watched WWE since Brock came back and have only been keeping up through you guys content. Sami’s win finally brought me back after almost a year. Aaaaand just like that I’m out again. Guess I’ll look forward to the G1😅 (and All In of course)

Zack Kaltenmeier

Man like why even invest in people anymore if they aren’t seen as a merch mover by board room faceless losers then they will eternally be in the cycle of hell of not trying to be released

Evan

People were literally chanting his name before the match started. You can cope all you want kiddo.

Evan

That's the point. They did this with Rey, they did it with Christian, they did it with Bret and I can keep going if you want.

Evan

The moment I saw Cody go down I knew it was Punk. Just because you didn't think of it doesn't mean no one did. Don't speak on absolutes you can't back up.

Evan

We get it. You love WWE and CM Punk. The boots must taste yummy.

Evan

They could shoot a man on the show for real and you'd find a way to gluck gluck that company.

AZIZ

Lol smd mark

Evan

You would enjoy moldy slop if Triple H handed to you.

KidCutty

No...just dont believe EVERYTHING is bad. Thats just a sad way to live but keep enough hate going for the both of us big guy 😏 seems like you've progressed into "jaded angry fan" territory and im just not there yet 🤷🏿‍♂️ Sorry big fella 😂

Harry Burke

Just watched the podcast. Far too much wrestling content on this World Cup podcast for me. In all seriousness, I wouldn't mind hearing Dan and Luke speak about football. Throw in Dave and Sullivan and you've got a rival to The Rest Is Football and the Overlap etc.
