Really surprised MCMG didn't debut last night. Once I realized the tag title segment with Rene was a pretape I knew it wasn't happening. Maybe they are debuting tonight to counter program TNA? That would be super petty given MCMG's history with TNA.

Netflix execs were in attendance and that’s the show WWE decided to produce? Creatively at least this company is utterly incompetent.

Gotta hand it to the E on this aspect. Having a freaking Danhausen ice cream truck at SummerSlamhausen, with him handing out ice cream to the fans is a tremendous idea.

As bad as Raw was (in my view), I'm pretty sure Netflix execs aren't looking for 25 minute matches made day of. They also probably have no idea who Meltzer or SRS are and have no interest in JDfromNY screaming in his apartment. I don't know if they're pleased or not but all WWE has to do is point to the full house in LA and I'm sure that impressed them.

There's a talking point that Netflix is upset, may toss Raw to the curve in a few years, and Triple H's days are numbered. Meanwhile, they just did 15k Monday, will have 30k+ each night of Summerslam, and Netflix apparently wants more Unreal seeing as how a third season just debuted. If you're an executive with a heavy interest in WWE, none of that sounds bad.

Creatively, WWE isn't great atm and hasn't been for awhile but as long as butts are still in seats, I have a feeling Netflix is content. This bubble we're in is tiny. The money guys do not care what Russo has to say about Triple H on YouTube or what Redditors are saying daily about WWE's "AI slop" PLE posters. This is like when WWE fans kept saying WBD was upset with AEW and may cancel them. It's fantasy doom booking.

JD prob lives in his moms basement - no one knows if he has a real job or is just monetizing on social media it’s embarrassing slop he just yells in a ny accent so some people like it

How does Ace Austin's steroids go pretty much only to his legs? Does he like stand straight up in a gerbil wheel-like centrifugal device for an hour or two after he juices?

AAA might be the most interesting aspect of the WWE umbrella right now,

Looks like they were indeed holding the MCMG's for tonight.
