Episode notes

WWE’s Crown Jewel PLE is in the books– and we actually think that Perth Australia got a pretty solid show!

Hal, Danielle and Julian discuss what they think worked:

Roman continuing his drama with the Bloodline was really compelling and something that we missed a lot; John Cena and AJ Styles had a great match acknowledging their collective decades of wrestling; and Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes proved that they can deliver a main event on any given night.

But now there’s word that Seth is injured, a story that was seemingly backed up by the Vision turning on him. What does this mean for the World Heavyweight Championship? There’s a lot to discuss!

The Main Event

For years, Alicia Fox was an unsung and underappreciated hero of the WWE. These days she wrestles for TNA under the name Victoria Crawford. And because NXT and TNA are cozier than ever, the foxy one revealed that she’s on her way back to a WWE ring soon. So what better time to give her her flowers?
