    Dont forget Roman cut probably one of his best promos ever on Seth... I think the Roman character is finally starting to get there.

    God, I don't get why he's referring to Jeff as Nero, but it's soooo good. And I don't even know if it's so bad that it's good, or if it's meant to be so bad and everyone's getting worked.

    Good promos from all 3, I think Roman's was the weakest, but still his best work until he had to throw in the "the guy" line in there. Referring to himself as the "big dog" didn't work for me either.

    Mic work felt really real from Cena and AJ, continuing on from last week.

    In-Depth interview from Sports Illustrated with Stone Cold Steve Austin; in it, he talks about his thoughts on the product, his IPA beer, the start of the "What?" chants. I encourage fans to read it (if you have the time, it is very long).

    SI Link: Stone Cold Steve Austin on the current WWE product, his new IPA

    Again, it is extremely long, but well worth the read IMO. I hope you enjoy!

    Rumor Confirmed

    Finn Bàlor's likely final feud before Main Roster call-up...

    Finn Bàlor will be competing vs Shinsuke Nakamura, which should be Bàlor's final story line and match before hopefully getting called up to the Main Roster. Bàlor has accomplished all he can in NXT and numerous big-time "money matchups" await once the inevitable call-up happens. With Finn moving on from Joe, Nakamura should be next-in-line as #1 contender (unless, Bàlor wins and gets one more crack at Joe for the title).

    When Nakamura came to NXT, it was very clear that he would be the next man up to contend for the NXT Championship once the feud with Samoa Joe concluded. I love that this will take place before Finn moves on up. Like Nakamura/Zayn at Takeover: Dallas during WM weekend, this should be a one-off face/face match to give Finn his proper NXT sendoff.

    My only question is: When will this match take place? Maybe it happens in July around the Draft and brand split, or at Takeover: Brooklyn II, the night before SummerSlam. But if this takes place in July, I wonder what will be in store for Bàlor once he arrives on the main roster.

    They have lots of time to map this all out, so let's see how this all comes together!

    He's definitely going to be pulling double duty like Owens did last year with Takeover Brooklyn and Zayn this year, I am expecting him to debut any week now.

    Well not saying I dont expect Balor to be called up sometime around the draft but he is is being advertised for the NXT show in Houston on July 30th so that means he will still be working NXT shows after the draft... I think they are worried about calling everyone up since there isn't really that next big thing in NXT yet except Nakamara and he could be called up any minute also. They need Balor and Nakamara right now to sell those tickets for their tours.

    [rQUOTEr]MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Jerry Lawler was arrested at his home Friday morning by the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office in Memphis, Tenn.

    According to a police report, Lawler and his girlfriend, Lauryn McBride, were taken into custody and booked on alleged charges of domestic assault—bodily harm, a misdemeanor.

    WWE has zero tolerance for matters involving domestic violence, and per our policy, Jerry Lawler has been suspended indefinitely following his arrest.

    [rQUOTEr]Memphis wrestling icon Jerry "The King" Lawler and his fiancee were arrested on domestic violence charges.

    Lawler, 66, and Lauryn McBride, 27, have been charged with domestic assault after an incident Thursday night at Lawler's East Memphis home.

    Police said they responded to a 911 hangup call at a home in the 400 block of St. Nick Drive.

    According to an arrest affidavit, when police arrived McBride told officers that she and Lawler, who she has lived with for five years, got into an argument that turned violent.

    McBride alleged that Lawler held her against the kitchen counter and then hit her on the left side of her head and pushed her against the stove, according to the affidavit.

    She alleged that Lawler went upstairs and retrieved an unloaded pistol that he put on the kitchen counter and told her to "go ahead and kill yourself."

    Lawler told police that he and McBride argued over her lying about where she had been. He told officers that the argument turned violent when McBride allegedly scratched him on his face, threw a candle at him and kicked him in the groin.

    He said that McBride was intoxicated and alleged that she was the one who brought the pistol in the kitchen after getting it out of his garage.

    Lawler told police that McBride was intoxicated and he was trying to stop her from leaving in her vehicle.

    Both Lawler and McBride were arrested after police were unable to determine which one was the primary aggressor.

    They were taken to the Regional Medical Center before they were booked in jail early Friday morning.

    Both will be in court Monday. No bond has been set.

    I'm happy with the result and Dean definitely went over. It's funny because of all the other stuff that happened on tv before hand, WWE/MITB was left as the "cool down" match of some very intense action, so maybe I'm a bit numb.

    Weird finish though. Definitely didn't need the fake concussion stuff, if he's just gonna no-sell, get back in the ring, and a spear or superman punch in (can't remember). But the head injury does SEEM to be part of why he didn't kick out of the 2nd pedigree.

    Glad they are pulling out all the stops finally! Ambrose getting his moment was epic, I'm guessing they ride this till summerslam for the triple threat.
