I thought, due to his heart problems, Jerry isn't supposed to wrestle any more?  And great seeing Mr. "Middle-aged and CRAZY" still kicking around!

WWE won't let him. He's medically cleared otherwise.

Mexico’s AAA promotion has postponed their television tapings that had been scheduled for Monday as a result of Alberto Del Rio’s return to WWE.

Del Rio had been advertised for the AAA show and was rumored to be dropping the AAA Mega Championship as he finishes up his run with the company. Instead, he’ll be appearing on WWE RAW from Denver and Tuesday’s SmackDown tapings from Colorado Springs. From there, he’s headed overseas for WWE’s latest European tour.

It remains to be seen when Del Rio will be available to appear for AAA next, but Konnan stated on a recent episode of MLW Radio that AAA has a nice surprise in store for Del Rio when he does show up.

Bugger, no south-west dates (Cardiff doesn't count).

^^ Damn, that sucks; arguably the worst possible way to lose a title.

Meanwhile, Vacant's on top of the world once again...

Its time for Roman's Reign!

Which, if there was any semblance of reality, would be quickly ended by a Sheamus cash in. A tournament in one night? Thats just begging to end with a cash in after its over.

And the top comment on Wreddit...

Dastardly heel gets grievous leg injury, is out for a long time, then returns to a massive babyface pop?

Wow, Seth really is Triple H mark 2.

Sucks to see he'll lose the title that way. But a change was needed as well at this point. Woulda been nice to see him drop it to someone, but this is unfortunate. Still, what better way now than to have Sheamus cash in since they had nothing for him to cash in on until now. I doubt they'd ever let him cash in on Rollins until literally the Smackdown! before Money in the Bank again lol

Why was a change needed? He was filling the role of a cowardly heel champion just fine. There is literally no one else that deserves to have that title at this current moment.

I agree, mostly because it'd probably be too soon for Kevin Owens to be the WHC.

KO is the only person that gave me pause when I was writing that post, but its too early and he's holding a title. I wouldn't be surprised if he's in the tournament and gets to the finals, though. Owens loses, Pop-up Powerbombs (or even ring-apron powerbombs!) Reigns as he celebrates, Sheamus comes down and cashes in.

Well, if they let Rollins hold two titles at the same time, and ROH is currently doing did the same with Jay Lethal, I can't see a reason why Owens couldn't do the same; I reckon he'd be more convincing than the two of them.

EDIT: I haven't watched Glory by Honor XIV yet.

CrossFit Jesus out and Roman or Sheamus with the belt = dark times.

Is it just me or are there others that are sooooo tired of the boring crap that Wyatt says each night.  It comes across as boring and so idiotically stupid and childish that no one would believe it.  Every time he comes out I change the channel because everything out of his mouth bores me.  I thought we put the crappy "spooky" gimmicks behind us when we left the 80's/90's...

I do believe I agree with you on this.  Wyatt is getting a bit stale with his "cryptic words" and such.  Then, all of a sudden "gaining the powers" of Undertaker and Kane.  Not buying it, it is way out there for wrestling today.  Plus, the Family doesn't seem to know how to sell getting hit or anything.  Not impressed.
