The Weekly Wrestling Thread Smells What The Rock Is Cooking

It’s been a wild week for wrestling. The Rock returned to Smackdown and tore the roof off. WWE is starting to release people thanks to the UFC merger; it’s just been “redundant” workers and Ultimate Warrior’s awful wife but it’s going to get worse. Jade Cargill is jumping ship to WWE, after having easily the best match of her AEW career. And it turns out that the record attendance for All In was exaggerated and it’s not the biggest show ever. It’s wild to me, AEW had their biggest show in the company history and now everyone is only talking about this and CM Punk’s antics. Tony Khan just can’t get out of his own way.

Best WWE matches of the week:
1. Butch vs. Tyler Bate
2. Finn Balor vs. A.J. Styles
