So Jey Uso beat all them guys and then Solo Sikoa helped? WWE is basically just chaos with extra steps lol.
I don’t even get why everyone’s jumping from tables like that. Isn’t that how people get hurt? Also Charlotte advancing makes no sense to me because Sol Ruca was supposed to win.
wait wait, “Samone spike” or whatever knocked out Knight but then Jey saved it?? I swear I heard that Finn was the one who got pinned last week. Maybe I’m mixing stuff up but still… Jey leaping off the top rope just feels like cheating.
The women’s bracket got like, 5 interruptions too? I saw “Tiffany Stratton and Alexa Bliss” mentioned and thought that meant they were fighting in the main event or something. And then somehow Charlotte just makes Lyra tap… like ok. Also “Queen of the Ring” sounds confusing because it’s not even about Queens, it’s about leglocks. WWE loves making stuff up as they go.
