Pretty predictable outcome to the event, although I thought Punk/Bryan wouldn't end clean like it did.

Will we see one cash in or two on Raw 1000? I'm thinking both. Cena definitely, unless he gets interrupted by Dwayne.

Also, if they keep building the tag division, they should add a Tag Team MITB next year. They could have done Usos vs Primetime Players vs Hawkins & Reks vs Hunico & Camacho vs Primo and Epico this year with no problem. Instead they throw matches in at the last minute. Doesn't make sense. They could even have left one of the teams out if they wanted to give Kofi & Truth something to do and still have a 4 team match.

Missed opportunity.

Cena winning was a given at this point. I don't see why the IWC is so up in arms. I mean, sure I know IWC hate Cena (or at least, make like they do, cuz it's the in thing) and all but come on. Did anyone really want Big Show to win?

Also, I'm REALLY glad that the Punk/Bryan match ended clean like it did. The title shouldn't change hands with interference or something like that (though it does so often doesn't it) so that was a breath of fresh air.

Gotta admit though. Tyson Kidd stole the freakin show in the SD MitB match. Kid has some major talent. Glad he's gonna get a big push it seems.

I was hoping for Jericho to win, right up until Miz returned, then I wanted him to win. :p At least he raised the number of competitors in that match, as I thought four was not enough for a MITB match. The WHC one was a lot better. even though there were botches galore in that match (a lot of them involving Sin Cara).

Here's a shocking fact; the last WWE PPV that had a title match as the main event? TLC back in December, seven months ago. The tradition nowadays seems to be to have a world title match, and immediately follow it with a match added to the card on the night (usually a squash match); who in their right mind thinks that's a great idea to order the matches? Last night was a perfect example of that; we had the WWE title match, then a Ryberg squash match, and then a six-diva tag match. What a joke.

Punk/Bryan isn't over since we didn't get the close to the storyline yet. Unless WWE is going to just forget it (which they've done in the past) which they sure as hell better not do this time around. AJ involved in this storyline has been awesome (kudos to her more than anything though, she can act way better than say...Eve) and there has to be a payoff. Whether that means she helps Punk in the end, Bryan in the end or just goes off on her own, screwing them both and staying the crazy chick, who knows.

Cena becomes the first to lose in a briefcase turnin lol

I think it's a smart move to have Cena be the first to lose a cash in. It won't hurt his character AT ALL, nor would it benefit him at this point to win it. If Rocky is really gonna go for the championship at WM next year, do we really want Cena to be champion until then? Because we all know if he wins next week, he'll likely be champ until he loses to Rocky again at WM (which just so I get this out of the way is MORONIC).

Also, why do I find Vickie Guerrero so hot? Cougar mmmm.

Show costs Cena the match next week. 100%.

Bryan is face now, right?

And they are going to push Punk back towards heel.

Can't wait to be skipping Mysterio matches again.

No I don't think he'll cost him the match. Maybe interfere, but not cost him. If he does, it continues a drab storyline that makes zero sense at this point. They should just put show with big guys like Clay or Big Zeke or something. Bryan is more a tweener than a heel at this point, simply because he's so popular and over. Like Punk was last summer (or was that 2 summers ago already, I can't remember).

As for Punk going heel, I don't think so. Not yet anyway. If anything he'll go tweener also and ride the line between heel and face. It looks more like they are turning Jericho face though (yay, I don't like his heel persona this last run much) not to mention putting him in a program with Ziggler which is great. You got one of the best ever, and one of the currently best sellers ever. Can't really go wrong :D

Mysterio...who cares. He's been gone awhile. So I might watch one or two matches, but that also depends on what feud he gets into more than anything. I'd love if they turned him heel though. He's been the same stale ass face/kid favorite for god damn going on how many years now? And people complain about Cena being stale?!

      I think he means you haven't reviewed previous UFC games. Of course it doesn't matter... Every time you just report on something that involves the President even if just simply what happened you guys usually get accused of being anti-Trump. We live in fun times.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      So how did you solve the problem? Disabling Secure Boot isn’t a solution.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.

      Winhance 26.06.12 by Razvan Serea Winhance is an open-source Windows enhancement utility designed to help users debloat, optimize, and customize Windows 10 and 11. It provides a user-friendly interface for removing unwanted apps, legacy components, and optional features safely, giving you more control over your system. With Winhance, you can improve performance, reduce clutter, and enhance privacy without the need for a clean install. Beyond basic debloating, Winhance offers extensive optimization tools. Users can tweak power plans, adjust gaming and performance settings, control notifications, and manage Windows Update behavior.

New AI privacy groups have been added for Windows AI, Microsoft Edge AI, and Microsoft Office AI, giving users clearer control over AI-related telemetry and feature usage. In addition, new settings in Gaming & Performance introduce AI taskbar pin toggles, options to remove AI apps, and controls for AI services and scheduled tasks, allowing users to better manage how AI components run in the background and appear in the system. For advanced users and IT professionals, Winhance integrates WIMUtil, a tool for creating custom Windows installation ISOs with automated configuration.

Winhance 26.06.12 changelog: Features Builder Mode β€” build a Winhance config file or autounattend.xml without changing anything on the PC you're sitting at. Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines. Sponsors & Supporters page β€” the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized. Change History β€” Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu. Hebrew language support β€” Winhance is now available in 29 languages. New Explorer customizations: desktop icon visibility toggles, This PC folder visibility, an icon cache size setting, and automatic thumbnail cache cleanup. New "All apps view" setting for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, and the Windows 11 system tray icons setting is now a dropdown with more control. App-local UI zoom β€” press Ctrl +/-/0 or use Ctrl+MouseWheel to scale the whole app, just like a browser. New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser. Bug Fixes Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%. Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent β€” error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features β€” they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.
