the way WWE are pushing these "injuries" is really dumb….there is no way at all Logan Paul did that much damage to his knee and was able to stand. same thing with Cody Rhodes and the torn pectoral gimmick. there is no way he wouldve been medically cleared to perform. even CM Punk was pulling this weak work with his foot surgery.
Hey, if you’re going to speak about Max the Impaler, use their correct pronouns.
Yeah she definitely stole that look from Mac the something or other most of us never heard of
When I first saw a screenshot of Logan on twitter I actually said to myself "Oh shit max got signed?" Until I realised it was Logan
I would lose my mind if Wade ended up being the 5th man in War Games.
While I don't like guys like Braun either, I absolutely despise the Ricochets and Daniel Bryans of the world. One is a glorified gymnast and the other is just an average joe who learnt the moves but has no physique to actually compete.
12:45 So he'll be losing to Rey in the near future?!
Soho will. Back
The fifth member might be Grayson Waller, or maybe even Carmelo Hayes. Remember, he said he was going to get his revenge on the bloodlines enforcer.
I always love when people throw out the phrase "one of Triple H's favorites." Apparently he had many "favorites". 😂😂😂
Why would The New Day ever team with Ridge Holland? He broke Big E's neck. I mean kayfabe wise, I'm sure in real life Ridge was gutted that he caused that but it would be nice to see it addressed.
There is NO WAY IN HELL if those injuries are real he doesn't get surgery…if he opts out of surgery the whole injury is a work
Humble is not a word in Beef Stroganoff's vocabulary, obviously.
Who cares. Logan looked terrifying.
I'm glad to see Sarah Logan back with the Viking Raiders. She looked great last night. I know people are losing their f'ing minds that Sarah "stole" her look from Max the Impaler, but they seem to forget Sarah and Erik live a Viking lifestyle, she didn't steal anything. Plus Sarah and the Raiders saved us from a Hit Row and B-fab match. Shotzi vs Ronda I hope is a decent match and not just a feeding before the return of Charlotte. We should be getting Shanya vs Ronda. The Brawling Brutes with Drew vs the Bloodlines is going to be a hell of a match. I'm wondering who the 5th member will be? I hope it's KO.
It is really "fun" that WWE is doing a world cup where three out of eight of the contenders are American, it is like Vince has never left
WWE undoubtedly stands for Wamerica Wrestling Entertainment (and Walk With Elias)
Jack is doing great.
Max looks more steampunk than Viking imo and besides it looks like both these women played Hellblade sometime after 2017 and decided to snag Senua’s style for themselves lol
"Braun Strowman's still a Babyface, even though he tweets like a heel."
Actually, he's probably the least offensive thing on Twitter these days. A downright saint by comparison.
U think of WadeBarret before Kevin Owens being opposite Sami?
I’m glad you brought up that game! I thought she looked like a combination of her and the protagonist from horizon zero dawn
VALHALLA HAS ARRIVED…
Sarah Logan came back to Smackdown with a vengeance last night.
Brawn comes across as the kind of guy who will throw shade at ppl smaller because he believes that it wont come to blows because of his size.
Didn't Sarah Logan literally have a viking wedding? This ain't a gimmick, it's just Sarah Logan.
Believe it or not most Norse style war paints and priestess face paints look very similar. Mostly because they all followed the same religion Asatru.
Sarah Logan for woman's tag team champion.
In my opinion Max The Impaler is doing a gimmick not a real life character. Hunter clearly wants to allow the Viking Raiders the ability to go full Viking. Sarah and Rowe are married in real life. So it makes sense that Sarah looks like a Viking Princess. Plus everything the idiots who are claiming that Sarah stole Max's look needs to watch WWE from 2017 onward. Sarah has had aspects of the Viking look since then.
Ragnarok has arrived would make more sense. Vallhalla is basically warrior heaven where as Ragnarok is the end.
So no more Joking Raiders. If only we could get the name War Machine back.
Sarah Logan is a viking outside of wwe though lmao
It's Vikings there isn't much you can do different with a Viking look. Plus, Sarah and her husband do Viking shit in their spare time. Their wedding was a Viking commitment ceremony. In the God of War Ragnarök game there are several enemies relatively the same as Sarah Logan. Did they rip-off your look too independent wrestler I've never heard of?
Notice how Shayna Baszler only gets a push on the main roster in the WWE when Ronda is around, and then whenever she leaves Shayna's push goes away too. It's almost like "Well Ronda isn't here so we don't have to kiss her ass and push her friends." Then when Ronda comes back Shayna is back in the mix.
Realistically, there's only so many ways you can do that style of face paint. She could have borrowed a bit from Freya from God of War, but as is, it works, plus it's her standard Viking attire she's worn outside of WWE.
I'm on the fence about Shayna allying with Ronda. Due to the difference in name value, I worry she's allied with Ronda purely so they don't compete, just having her work as Ronda's muscle with no eventual Batista push.
Braun is his own worst enemy. He got brave again after ending up on the same indies he talked down to. Eventually he's going to say the wrong thing to or about the wrong people and end up controlling his narrative again.
Sarah Logan's appearance is also similar to a possible appearance for female Eivor in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla (the Viking one). So I doubt the look was related to Max.
Appreciate the daily news!
If I never had to see Shayna on my tv again, I’d be one happy lad
Both look like the fictionalized viking warrior women from the show Vikings and the current crop of medieval/post apocalyptic games. I respect Max for using this situation to garner attention and I hope they get more bookings because of this. But unless the both stole their look from pop culture no one had their look stolen.
Guys….. Logan Paul is not injured…its kayfabe…what are you doing? Are you sticking to mild kayfabe?
You've said Wade Barrett with the brutes and drew. Why have you done this to me 😭
Seth Rollins tore his ACL and couldn’t finish the match. We all remember HHH’s quad. But I’m expected to believe that a guy who’s wrestled 3 matches would not only have the fortitude to do so but the knowledge of how to hide the injury from ringside medical staff, the audience and his opponent? I call bullshit.
Paul needed to be written off TV for at least 6 months so they can properly train him. I’ll believe any of this once he shows people the scars from his “first wrestling surgery”.
Thanks 🙏

Not a single soul knew who Max was before she was on ROH in 2021. Meanwhile, Sarah and her husband have been LITERALLY living the Viking lifestyle for YEARS. Sarah had been painting her face for 2 years before Max had her first TV match, and had her braid/dreadlocks since 2018. That is NOT ripping off some indie clown with a sense of entitlement. That is the difference between BEING the gimmick and being A GIMMICK. Max doesn't live that gimmick outside the ring. Sarah has been for YEARS.
