With a discussion of BackLASH! There seems to have been a bit of a response to the reception of WrestleMania with this latest PLE. Each of the matches was actually given a lot of time which means that more stars got time to shine– that includes our beloved Danhausen. He’ll earn tons of praise before more love is piled onto Oba Femi, Jacob Fatu, The Street Profits and so many more. But all of this good wrestling cannot overshadow the recent cull of the company’s talent, including several notable names like Kairi Sane and Zelina Vega. The Main Event After more than ten years as one of the WWE's most bankable acts, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston have left the company. Big E's status as a part of the PLE preshow seems to still be secure as he enjoys retirement. But the New Day as we know it is no more. The Three Count Danielle put over Danhausen’s Celebrity Nice/Evil Index. Lindsey put over Finn and his former mates. Hal put over the previous influence of TKO Keep up with this show all week long on instagram, tiktok and bluesky.
