Episode notes
Take a deep breath because with all of the wrestling from last weekend you have little time to rest before SummerSlam.
After so many wrestling shows, we have so much to get through and unfortunately it’s not all good news: Adam Cole was pulled from AEW All In for an injury that was severe enough that he considered immediate retirement.
And Seth Rollins has apparently hurt his knee again– thus upending WWE’s presumed plans for the next several months.
We break down the implications there, plus some things that actually made us happy: Roman Reigns is back! And Evolution was an absolutely KILLER show, top to bottom.
The Main Event: Evolution + Naomi’s Big Win
Sunday was a big day for Naomi and the World Championship. Jade Cargill and Naomi showed out in their Falls Count Anywhere match; Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley absolutely delivered in the main event before Naomi set the world on fire with her Money in the Bank cash-in. And now she’s the World Champion!
The Three Count:
Danielle put over getting ready for a Big Show.
Lindsey put over the longest tenured WWE superstar of all time.
Hal put over Becky mfin’ Lynch.
Hosted by Hal Lublin, Lindsey Kelk, and Danielle Radford.
Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.
