He predicts AJ win in a quick match, he no sells Riddle’s victory as honeymoon phase of callup
Justified ½*
Moment of Bliss w/ Vacant
Cesaro and Nakamura choose tables cuz Cesaro thinks Big E is gonna fuck a steel cage
Moment of Bliss
They talk evolution, Alexa Bliss talks about nostradamus (she literally said Blisstradamus as I was typing that), she reads her metaphorical tea leaves
Nikki thinks she’s the guest, and she’s a gem.
Bayley and Sasha come out
Ever since someone told me Bayley’s theme is just slowed down The Rock, I can’t unhear it
Sasha and Bayley talk shit to nikki
They want credit for the women’s evolution, people boo, but it’s basically true they’re great

Bayley sends Nikki outside, Nikki hits tornado DDT off table
Bayley counters tornado DDT, gets pin on Nikki with feet on the ropes ***
Math looks bad for Bayley
Morrison is freaked out by Braun, says he’s the hero and is gonna slay the monster
Stream skipped, so I didn’t see the joke
I like this song on the Coke commercial, but Coke tastes like swill
Bray Comes Home
He talks Braun’s origin story
The swamp is a special place, an evil place, you can’t truly leave
John Morrison vs. Braun Strowman
Morrison selling his fear is great
Braun gets on the mic- hes so sweaty, has a weird look on his face and is delivering a KILLER promo about the Fiend being his demons and every bad thing he’s ever done. It’s REALLY good.
Legit feel awful for Miz and Morrison, this is a mauling
Braun murders Morrison with a power slam ****
Braun calls out Bray afterwards, laughs maniacally (sp?)
Miz calls for medical help for Morrison
Lacey Evans doesn’t wait for Miz and Morrison to leave before coming out to fight Naomi, let’s see if they even reference the Karaoke Showdown
Lacey Evans vs. Naomi
Recap of that shit
Lacey has a hammy quick promo
Crazy that Naomi’s feel the glow gimmick took two years to get approved
