Never seen a wrestler's entrance get so much buzz. I"ll have to check it out.
BTW, she confirmed on twitter that that's actually her singing (pre-recorded obviously).
Her singing it live might be cool for a Takeover, kind of like how they brought in a live violinist to do Nakamura's Takeover entrance.
As for the lip-synching, I think the sing along is to give Scarlett more to do. NXT seems to be packaging them as a duo, so they might want her actively involved in his entrance (she was also the one talking in the vignettes hyping them up).

Mandy vs. Sonya did well for what time they got. Mandy's punches were eh, but otherwise they both did a good job of selling this as a grudge match. Even the trash talking worked. And that finish basically guarantees a rematch. Hopefully they'll be added to the PPV. But if not, they should have a No-DQ/Street Fight match at some point. Angry fired up Mandy vs. deranged psycho Sonya beating the piss out of each other, make it happen WWE.
The eight man tag was really fun, and wow Morrison was bumping his ass off tonight. The man never seems to age. I really want him to get a big single's push.
The Braun/Bray and Jeff/Sheamus segments were, fine.
Wonder who the voice on the hacker's recording is?
The ME was fun, but the post-match stuff went on too long and got repetitive imo.
At least Sasha didn't get pinned this time. But wow I'm trying to remember the last time she won a match? It's been quite awhile.
Overall, good show.
is she a heel??
i don't see the big deal about the entrance, well i see WWE made a big deal of it but i don't see what's so great. it was kind of cool but also kind of like one of those jackoffs on tick tock or whatever it's called where people post those shitty lip sync videos.
he's a great promo and very good in the ring, imo he's even better when he works a shoot style like he did in bloodsport or against Moxley last year sometime.
i'm hoping not, from what i've seen she is not good and left me wanting no more. i think she's hot and an ok promo, if she's worth her weight they should've put her with somebody who needs her. as of now i'm not convinced she was hired for any other reason than to lure kross into signing.
agreed, he's had the character stuff down since day one, WWE didn't see it back then but ol' Lbo did, see what i was saying back in 2016

and another thought i had in 2016 about kross and matt riddle

now here's a guy i don't get what people see in, and trust me i WANT to like him as he's an ex ATL Falcon but the best i can say about him is he doesn't suck. his gimmicks have sucked, his mic work is not good even if he could speak clearly and in the ring he's just barely ok.
AEW main event on wednesday was stupid fun, i enjoyed the hell out of it.
the highlight of the night imo
the camera work, facial xpressions, everything about this scene is just perfect and captures these guys personalities.

Aew was silly fun.
The main event was hilarious, Kenny Omega went overtime to really sell it imo.
The Dark One I get now, his mic skills arent the greatest so the idea that he's a charismatic cult leader is...difficult to believe. Also on a seperate note Jake the Snake being a creepy rapey old man is something that (as Brandy says) needs to stay in the 90s.
MJF was awesome
Ducktales did a wrestling episode, complete is "This is awesome!" chants
