John is so upset about this week’s Raw he didn’t write an article about it. Instead he goes on an extended examination of why everything is terrible on the podcast. Owen enjoyed SmackDown except for the dreadful ending, and NXT had a surprising good episode with AOP turning face and Street Profits debuting.

This week, John finds WWE Great Balls of Fire to not be completely terrible, but with a lot of questionable finishes. Meanwhile Owen is continuing to get excited for Battleground, but figuring out that the Blue Brand’s women’s division is kind of terrible at the moment.

It’s the day after The Fourth of July, so Owen and John overcome their hangovers to get back from the beach and talk about the past week in the WWE. Raw put the finishing touches on a lackluster Great Balls of Fire card, while SmackDown books one of Owen’s favorite gimmicks for Battleground.

Owen tries to semi-defend Money in the Bank despite some poor booking decisions, while John has trouble figuring out who to root for on Raw. Well, except for the returning Bing Bong Strowman.
