I didn't watch Smackdown last night, but apparently Brock came back at the end of the show?
Yeah. Rumor on the smark boards is that Vince called or texted him and got him to go back and finish the storyline (I'm sure money was involved). Don't know how much truth there is in that, but some of the sheets are also reporting they're thinking about bringing in Goldberg to replace him at Summerslam. I guess we'll find out but from what I gather it sounds the plan now is finish the storyline at the PPV and then he's done.

Something big must be happening later if they just made the ROH championship the opening match.
I don't get why Tony does that. He books his second biggest match as his opener all the time. This makes sense to me if Joe and Lethal go on last given their history and importance to the promotion but I'm going to be annoyed if they do like an hour tag in front of a dead crowd for the main, regardless of how hot FTR are right now.
Edit: as soon as I posted that Lethals music hit. Fuck me.
Thoughts so far:
Claudio-Gresham was a good technical match with good storytelling. The foot difference in height definitely helped with some spots.
Dalton Castle and The Boys have the zestiest entrance ever. Match was pretty sloppy.
Jimmy Wang Ya—I mean Wheeler Yuta put on a great match with Garcia. I gotta support my fellow Philadelphian in Wheeler. Garcia is a great performer and pulls his character off to perfection. He also looks like a dude who slides into DM’s and pulls the wrestler card.
Mercedes Martinez is better in the ring than Punishment Martinez. Serena is goat status.
I would want to take a Muscle Buster about as much as I’d want to get color in a match.
Briscoes-FTR should be a fight forever match.
