When Je'Von Evans won the Money in the Bank qualifier, I legitimately said out loud, "Who could have f*cking guessed?"

Bad match.

  @Wright Agreed because Big Cass's Big O'Ass is breaking the ladder the moment he steps on it & for Austin Theory, Bron Breakker already qualified.

  @Wright I still wonder, why Je'Von? Genuinely if they wanted to make Big Cass a threat, why have him take the pin?

  @Draysin Martin I wonder why they keep showcasing Je'Von Evans and all the PLEs if he hasn't even won a title. He has the talent to back it up but they just won't pull the trigger for him at all. Should have been Cass. At least he has veteran history and is a big man and can cause mayhem. I don't hate Je'Von at all, please don't get me wrong, But it's frustrating seeing him showcased everywhere if he doesn't win. I'm also very biased because I'm a huge fan of Cass.

It seems quite implausible to seriously consider the possibility that Penta could defeat and dethrone Roman Reigns, particularly during a just an episode of Raw.

Even though this event is scheduled to take place in Mexico City, a location known for its energetic crowds, and it is sure to be a match of such significant caliber that is more suitable for a major Premium Live Event....

This is Roman Reigns we are talking about.

  @Wright Well, anything can happen. 946/OTM can interfere and cost Roman, and like what we saw with Vaquer beating Liv for the title at a live event, Penta can possibly dethrone Roman if that certain interference happens. Like I said, it's possible but not guaranteed.

  @Wright That’s reasonable but I feel like that they will do Roman vs Sami at crown jewel because of the history between them

Sami Zayn and Stephanie Vaquer getting their second reigns simultaneously was something I didn't expect. If it's the breath of fresh air finally coming to the champions, and especially Chelsea Green holding the championship, I'm just happy we're finally getting new champions. Hopefully Penta dethrones Roman Reigns.

These names should come off the active AAA roster: Chris Carter, Noisy Boy, Kento, Nobu San, Takuma, Andy Panda Jr., DMT Azul, Vampiro, Dinámico, Chessman, Cibernético, Black Andrómeda, Colmillo de Plata, Garra de Oro, Epydemius Jr., Dulce Kanela, Jessy Queen, Reina Dorada, Sussy Love, Jessy Jackson, Lady Maravilla, Aero Star, El Texano Jr., Negro Casas, El Mesías, and Monster Clown. Most of them are just multi-man filler, legends, or barely appear on the actual shows.

  @Davey Castegnaro Chris Carter, Kento, Takuma, Dinamico, El Texano, Jr. and El Mesias just wrestled at Triplemania. Nobu San is still part of Tokyo Bad Boys and as far as I know Lady Maravilla is still part of Las Toxicas. Aero Star wrestles at house shows regularly still and so does Andy Panda, Jr. it has only been a few months since Epydemius Jr. wrestled too so maybe just move them to inactive? I wouldn’t remove them from the roster yet. Noisy Boy just wrestled at Ola de Calor so he’s definitely active. So are Colmillo de Plata and Garra de Oro. The rest are question marks but so far Monster Clown, DMT Azul, Negro Casas, Black Andromeda, Dulce Kanela, Jessy Queen and Reina Dorada have yet to show up at in TV or a PLE since WWE partnered with them so it would probably be fair to remove them.

Rhea Ripley has apparently vacated the title, and was last champion on August 2nd (I don't know if this is right, but I think it is)

  @Constance Affinito I think Rhea Ripley is still champion despite what WWE.com says because on Smackdown Chelsea Green was still referred to as interim champion rather than just the Womens Champion. Whoever runs the website might've botched it

I want to make an event that occurred on SmackDown perfectly clear. Candace LeRae and Johnny Gargano are NOT Heel. Despite hitting CM Punk with the Undisputed WWE Title, with Candace LeRae's distraction, it was only because it was a means to an end. Mr. Wrestling is in that title picture and feuding with CM Punk so despite the Heel-ish move, he and her are still Face's.
