A big loss for both Michael Cole and Smackdown overall.

I would. But is the language safe? I just listened to it. The language isn’t anywhere near appropriate. Don’t post it. Anyone who wants to listen to it can easily find it.

And as expected, the supposed ‘boss’ sits there like a parrot and says and does NOTHING.

AEW has NO LEADERSHIP.

OK. No post.

Agreed. I think they are great together.

I wonder who they will get to replace McAfee.

Hey. I know. They can call CM Punk. He may be looking for a job at the end of the day. LOL!

I don’t know what would make you think that?

Maybe I just can't believe that cancer will finally be gone from wrestling.

Especially when they have rich enablers.

If Khan didn't suspend MJF earlier in the year for what MJF said about Khan, I doubt that Khan will suspend Punk.

Once Punk exited the press room, he exchanged words in a locker room with Omega and the Bucks, which led to a physical altercation. Punishment for that backstage fight, Sports Illustrated has learned, will include suspensions for every person involved. The list of those receiving suspensions includes Omega, Matt and Nick Jackson, Pat Buck, Christopher Daniels, Michael Nakazawa and Brandon Cutler. Multiple sources have shared that Punk and Ace Steel will either be among those suspended, or will no longer be with the company by the end of Wednesday. Punk met with AEW owner Tony Khan on Tuesday, so the two had an opportunity to discuss how that exit could be handled.

Per sources, an external third-party investigation will be conducted. Page had already left the building, Sports Illustrated learned, which explains his absence from the altercation.

It looks like Malakai Black requested release WAS ultimately granted:

Were you referring to Lacey Evans?

Were you referring to Lacey Evans?

Yep.

The WWE doesn't seem to know what to do with her. Make her a face, or make her a heel.

Yeah. Their indecisiveness is hurting her. And doing nothing in that 5-way match in her return didn’t help.

Some of the people who were in that brawl after AEW All Out have had their suspensions lifted. Brandon Cutler, Christopher Daniels, Michael Nakazawa, and Pat Buck have been cleared. CM Punk, Ace Steel, the Young Bucks, and Kenny Omega are still suspended pending a third-party investigation.

Did anyone catch Shotzi's face turn on Smackdown last night? Wonder if that means her tank is coming back. Hope so.
