Awesome show. Great to get an Eddie Kingston promo again.
It was rather conspicuous that The Elite only appeared in a pre-tape since Punk was in the building. I guess that's the status quo going forward. I gotta wonder what they feel about that; it's gotta hurt having to tiptoe around Punk's ego in the company they founded, which is named after them.
I hope that the Elite/Punk stuff is actually resolved backstage, otherwise this whole thing will blow up eventually. I feel like the Bucks and Omega have been around enough carnies to know how to navigate the situation but who knows.
Maybe I'm naive or hopeful that it's all a work, but Punk is on the Forbidden Door card. I almost feel like we'll have our answer after Forbidden Door.
The Counterfeit bucks line was pre-approved and he didn't really throw any shade at Omega.
It just feels like everything about this is ultra particular. I don't doubt there is probably some animosity but even the I'm not supposed be here line feels too on the nose.
