Episode notes

C’est un nouvel épisode de Collants et combats!

Hal and Lindsey are joined by producer Julian to fill out third chair for the week.

This past weekend was Backlash, WWE’s first ever PLE live from Lyons France. The crowd was positively aching for wrestling and cemented themselves as one of the loudest in recent memory.

But in the aftermath, questions abound: With Tonga Loa now part of Solo Sikoa’s new Bloodline, where does the group go from here? And now that Cody Rhodes has gotten his first defense out of the way, what’s the next program to really cement him as the top guy in WWE?

Plus with King of the Ring now underway, we speculate what its essential function is in WWE these days.

The Three Count

Julian put over SGW’s recent Go Fund Me

Lindsey put over Sheamus vs. Gunther. Nuff said.

Hal put over Shayna Baszler’s soup habit.

Hosted by Hal Lublin, Lindsey Kelk and Julian Burrell

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.
