Monday: RAW
Tuesday: IMPACT Wrestling on AXS (starting Oct 29)
Wednesday: NXT and AEW
Friday: Smackdown
Saturday: WOW and New Japan Pro Wrestling

Wouldn’t that require at least most of them to be good?

Don’t really watch any of the individual shows anymore but I like to watch snipets and news from them, like the look of what’s happening with Bryatt Wyatt’s The Fiend, proving entertaining so far and seems fresh. AEW is quite intriguing was a big fan when much younger of both WWE and WCW Monday night wars. My uncle use to tape me both shows each week.

So, the main event of Hell in a Cell was crap.

What happened with it? I heard there was a DQ and X-Pac wasn’t happy about it.

I followed the coverage online. A match that, by its nature, is non-disqualification, was ended in a DQ after Rollins used a sledgehammer on Bray Wyatt. Fans were chanting “AEW” and “Refund!”

Technically it was a ref stoppage rather than a DQ. Still stupid, of course. A PPV main event ending with the top baby-face getting booed as the crowd chants bullshit and for the competition, all while further ruining the headline match gimmick and stalling Bray’s momentum yet again… after a dull match that ruined Seth’s finisher, in a thick red cage under low red lighting so the crowd can barely see what’s happening… It is impressive they can mess up so many things in one fell swoop.

And now Seth just goes off to play Hulk Hogan fanboy on Saudi Arabia.

I’m sure it will be settled in a no holds barred PPV event.

It really depends on who he plans to leave his shares in the company to in his will. If he leaves them all to one party then said party would have control over the company. If he splits them 50-50 between Shane and Stephanie that would complicate matters.
