The best way to watch WWE nowadays
The tournament was a waste of time. The minute Gunther was announced the tournament result was a foregone conclusion.
Highlights are enough nowadays.
LA Knight and Drew McIntyre, two men who deserve so much more but whom are both perpetually blue-balled by WWE.
Literally no point in having the tournament when 99% of people knew Gunther would win
Cody drank the whole bottle of Wheatley American Vodka and went berserk.
I'm sure you could squeeze in a few more commercials if you try.
And now we are even forwarding scenes in the highlights 🤦🏾♂️
Triple Lame booking is horrible
Drew's best bit in WWE is playing "being suspended"😂😂
