"No livestream tonight. I was on a set for 16 hours yesterday. I should be sleeping, but I’m an addict. Obviously."
Despite the fatigue, the grind never stops—and neither does the timeline. WWE RAW hit Phoenix hard post-Money in the Bank, and while I wasn’t streaming this time, I was very much in the mix for the chaos.

🎤 RAW Opening Notes
R-Truth is BACK, and the vibes are immaculate.
Seth Rollins cash-in rumors were heavy, but… more on that later.
Becky Lynch pulled up in a Miss Rachel shirt, looking like Joe Dirt with the Intercontinental belt on her shoulder. How am I supposed to boo this heel?
Nikki Bella is back.
Zero surprise it happened, but still felt random af.
Please let her cross paths with Cena. We deserve that.
🧢 Becky. Miss Rachel. Joe Dirt. The IC Champ.
The evolution continues—sometimes she’s Sporty Spice, sometimes Scary Spice, but she always talks real and makes it land.
And tonight? She was money on the mic again.
🎨 Cena in Arizona
Cena showed up in a purple and orange outfit and I was ready to flame him... until I remembered that's just the Arizona colorway 😬.
Then he started calling out “armchair activists” and told the crowd he only had 19 dates left. It's facts, even if the delivery didn’t land.
💵 Punk. Miz. Saudi Arabia.
CM Punk’s tweet had the audacity to drag Miz for “blood money” years ago—and now, here he is, Saudi-bound for a shot at the title.
All in the same breath as, “the people respect me for my integrity.”
Lol. Okay.
Compare that with Sami Zayn—actually wrestling in Saudi Arabia to become the King of the Ring. That’s growth. That’s layers. That’s respectable.
🔥 Midcard Cooking
Chad Gable vs. AJ Styles
This could’ve been a main event at any TNA PPV over the last decade and we’d be satisfied. Instead, it’s midcard heat in WWE— still fire.
Roxanne Perez might be turning Liv Morgan babyface??
Dirty Liv just out here... living.
Also: shoutout to The Prodigy for one of the best NXT call-ups ever—working with a former champ like an equal, not a sidekick, and paired with Uncle Finn? Let’s go.
👑 Women Doing Work
That Women’s 4-Way? So fun.
Iyo Sky deserves better than being used as a pawn in a Nikki Bella nostalgia segment.
🖤 Bayley’s Back
BAYLEY. IS. BACK.
I am so, so, so happy. We missed you heavy.
But why like that?
A PLE return would’ve hit harder—even if Becky still walked away champ.
Still, welcome home, Role Model.
🐐 Mr. Iguana???
Mr. Iguana got a RAW video package for getting over this weekend.
Sometimes this really does feel like a completely different company.
🌍 Zayn vs Punk: A Study in Contrasts
Sami Zayn wrestling in Saudi Arabia for KOTR
= the exact opposite of what CM Punk’s doing.
No hypocrisy. Just humility. All heart.
🙌 New Day Praise
“GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES & THANK GAWWWWD FOR THE NEW DAY.”
Nuff said.
🧨 Asuka’s Back!
ASUKA! ASUKA! ASUKA!
"I am Noone. I am REEADDYYY for youuuu."
📼 Nikki’s 2015 Energy
That “Who is ya man really with?” segment gave serious I think SoundCloud could be #1 again energy.
🧒 Jey Uso's Final Moment
Jey Uso came out flanked by his son—who was visibly mouthing along to his dad’s promo. It already felt like something was building.
But that ending?
Jey losing clean, then cradled by his son post-match like it was Peter saying goodbye to Tony…I wasn’t expecting that. Plus,noo Seth Rollins at all?
Well, GUNTHER is our world champ again and that’s okay.
This is what keeps me hooked—even on 3 hours sleep after 16 hours on set.
