WWE Night of Champions 2025 Discussion

[Merzbow]

"Real Glass" wasn't even anything new in wrestling and AEW have arguably done stupider spots anyway, didn't Jack even get permission but then Tony S rather than any real management suddenly said no?

The whole thing was overblown by concern trolls and weirdos.

Anyway, Bloody Saudi Cocks and all that..

At least it’s blood money well spent. What a lineup. Jade Cargill and Karrion Kross singles matches. Woof.

I'd have to look it up as well because it sounds completely mental but I heard it was actually safer using real glass in a windshield than fake glass for some reason. 

Trent Baretta when talking about car glass spots said they are actually very safe because the windows are designed to cause as little damage to people as possible in a crash. You'll get some small, surface level cuts but nothing dangerous. He said he doesn’t have a single scar from either Parking Lot Brawl and he was bumping on glass like a maniac.

Asuka got a decent singles match out of 2016 Nia Jax, will be fascinating to see what she can do here. Have to watch that one.

, and the justification for Punk's OTT reaction was to some extent the long flight, no one to pick him up at the airport and having to take the Tube to Wembley.

He's a multi-millionaire. He didn't have to take the tube to Wembley. He just knew he'd be seen doing it and wanted to make a passive-aggressive point.

It’s the Karrion Krossers I worry about. The amount they’ve been campaigning for him to get a push, it’s going to be funny when he delivers the inevitable stinker.

I can't believe we're all discussing this shit again, but maybe he just wanted to get the tube?

The tube is wicked.

I’m not sure he will. He’s had decent matches outside of WWE, so he clearly has it in him to at least perform reasonably well against the right opponent. I won’t be watching, but I hope he holds up his end of the bargain. If he does - and, crucially, continues to do so - he could bring something interesting to the upper card.

 Looks like Punk was booed by the fans on the night of champions kick off show when they showed him on the big screen.

Interesting to see what kind of crowd reaction he gets on Smackdown and tomorrow night at the PPV.

I couldn’t post this so glad someone finally did. Yes, it’s a little push, that kid isn’t hurt, physically, but I bet that kid feels it in the emotions. How many cherries are now on that cake of Punk being an absolute hypocrite?

Alls forgiven now, he's lapping up the Saudis applause on the kick off show and apologized to a "fan" for his mean tweet and all the people of Saudi Arabia

I will note though watching the video Orton does a little slight hand wave off too I wonder if they were filming for something WWE wise and the wee lad got into the shot. Nonetheless just take the selfie and redo

The incident in question.

 

[FUM]

He’s fair sucking that dick.

[d-d-d-dAz]

I don't know how there can be anyone left taking him seriously after this. It's excruciating. I can't watch that last video, it's too cringe.

[Guest]

Massively looking forward to him having a beer bash with Austin at Mania.
