Smackdown was a count down to the Money in the Bank PPV. Reigns and Uso won the six man match. Kevin Owens looked great in his match. All in all, it was a lame episode. It could be a very low selling PPV.

WWE releases Ric Flair, and less than a week later, he announces that he wants to get back into the ring. While under WWE contract he was not allowed to wrestle. He acted as a manager. I believe that Ric Flair wants to die in the ring.

Smackdown, Is all about counting down to the PPV tomorrow. Roman Reigns versus John Cena for the Championship. Reigns also said that if he lose, that he will leave WWE. That leads me to believe that Reigns will retain the championship.

AEW Rampage Has been such a high success since it started on 8/13/21.
Christian Cage beat Kenny Omega for his IPW belt. Omega still retains the AEW Championship belt.
Jurassic Express won another match as they get closer to challenging The Young Bucks for the Tag Team belts.
The only bad thing about Rampage is its one hour time limit. However, it does come on TV at 11, so you can watch it after Smackdown.
The most important thing that happened on 2nd episode of Rampage: CM Punk is back! Vince & HHH will surely be pissed.
It's actually a bit of dishonor for Punk to mention it here, in WWE thread, since he hates WWE. Maybe we should start a new club, non-WWE or AEW-exclusive?

I know I saw it. It was awesome to see Punk, with his new shirt, back in the Ring. He was so happy to finally tell a little bit of his story. I would be happy to create a non-WWE topic. It would include AEW, Ring of Honor, Impact, all of Japan and Mexican wrestling. Just have to watch out for those lock happy mods.
