That was my favorite WWE show I have seen in 2-3 years. Oba match happened the way it should have. Super happy Sami got the belt as well.

Really good show by the E.

I completely forgot NoC was an afternoon show and just now seeing the results. Thank God they made the right decisions with the QOTR, KOTR, and the Undisputed title. A couple years late on Sami but better late than never. He'll be killed by Oba at Summerslam now.

If they would have had Jey win it would have been otherworldly stupid.
I don't know. I was expecting Brock to screw Oba tonight to set up the tiebreaker at Summer Slam. Maybe waiting for him to screw him there and let Sami keep the title.

Yup sometimes they make the right booking choices

I hope Sami comes out for his celebration and KO comes out and waylays him like they did in NXT. I love when they feud.

I am stunned I liked the show so much. I might actually try to check in on raw and smackdown this week. Who even am I?

Not sure what TNA Slammiversary is at yet. Lat update from 6 days ago when someone posted a screenshot from Wrestletix had it at only 2K. Wrestletix on Twitter seems barely alive these days. He hasn't had a Slammiverary update on there in three weeks. I'm sure the show will be heavily comped so it won't look empty.

I bet it's Apollo Crews, unless this is about Road Dogg. They've been wanting to sign him since he got released.

Every other former IC champ who isn't presently signed to WWE/AEW/TNA is long retired with zero chance of going to TNA, dead, or currently in legal hot water (Curtis Axel), only exceptions I could find are RVD and Carlito

Forgot about Xavier…


Oba Femi has officially become the 5th Black Superstar to win the King of the Ring tournament.

The list:
• Mabel (1995)
• Booker T (2006)
• Xavier Woods (2021)
• Cody Raheem Rhodes (2025)
• Oba Femi (2026)

A historic achievement for The Ruler.

I think all King of the Ring winners should be forced to talk in an awful British accent like Booker did a bunch of the time.

Didn't get to see WWE or AEW this weekend but both sounded like good shows. Hope to catch up on the WWE one tonight.

The last updates I saw Forbidden Door was at just over 9,000 tickets. TNA was 3,300.

May be in the minority but very happy to see Jay White back.

Thought the cage looked really cool.

I really liked the back half of Forbidden Door and they put Bucks on first so that got them out of my way from the jump and as I was finishing up making dinner.

I will admit to nodding off briefly during the cage match but saw the beginning and last 5 minutes. They could have a budding star in Maya World if she doesn’t disappear to ROH and Collision purgatory.

Swerve/Will was great. I knew who was winning beforehand but they did a fantastic job of leaving it in doubt.

Only if that works for Merecedes.

So Athena has been in roh for 4 years and now maya world is above her?
If im her I gotta wonder why I’ve been in purgatory all this time with Toni and Willow out they didn’t give me a shot at something that actually matters.
