I thought night 1 was better but it was cool to see Joe Henry. I knew he wasn’t beating Orton. I respect Cena but was never a big fan of his after ruthless aggression era. 80s through ruthless aggression is my favorite time and I guess I’m old and prefer the guys I grew up with but still watch wrestling. I’m curious to see what Cena does now. Was surprised to see Io Sky retain and I imagine Bayley will probably turn heel. Double swerve with Heyman on night one was great. Should’ve been Rock interfering instead of that rapper I don’t know

I’m so out of touch with wrestling. How does it work now? Wrestlemania is a 2-day event? And instead of being pure ppv, it requires a peacock subscription. When did all this happen?
I did happen across Cena cutting a promo on Cody Rhodes on smackdown the other night, and I thought it was surprisingly good - told an interesting story, and it didn’t sound as stilted or forced as the other promos I’ve randomly seen while channel surfing in the last 5 years. Is wrestling getting better / drifting back toward the old school, or did I just happen to see an outlier?
Yeah, the WWE shut down the Network in the US in 2020, and what was on the Network is now on Peacock.
Monday Night RAW is now on Netflix worldwide, Friday Night Smackdown is on the USA Network in the US, but I believe Netflix in a large part of the world so you can bypass it with a VPN, and Pay-Per-Views have been rebranded as ‘Premium Live Events’ (PLEs), and are on Peacock in the US, idk about the rest of the world.
Vince got ousted from the company after finally getting sued for sexual assault allegations, which meant that Triple H now runs creative. However, they merged with the UFC to create a new parent company called TKO, which itself is owned by talent agency William Morris Endeavor.
Wrestlemania and SummerSlam are two day events. Cena has always been a good promo.
It seems they are getting a little edgier and it’s better than pg era for sure. I still watch but not as engaged as I was in 80s to ruthless aggression. Glad that Cena finally turned heel. They started two night manias in 20 or 21 I think and they used to be on WWE network but Peacock has the network now
