25 Most Revealing WWE Instagram Posts Of The Week (Aug 10)
Which WWE Champ sent a not so friendly message to their SummerSlam opponent on Instagram this week?
R.I.P. NXT (2012-2021).
In case you somehow missed it, a whopping 13 NXT and 205 Live stars were given the heave-ho last Friday, with news soon breaking that Vince McMahon has his heart (for now, at least) set on revamping his developmental programme. Or in other words, going back to the old school method of avoiding "midgets" or people "starting in their 30s" and bringing in younger, bigger, potential box office attractions.
There's no questioning NXT's need for a fresh injection of youth, but does anybody really want to tune in every week to watch two green giants clubbing each other around the CWC? Here's hoping the reported technical overhaul points the brand in the right direction and those who have left Tuesday nights land on their very talented feet.
Whilst it was all change on the black and gold show, Raw and SmackDown went about its business as usual. Lily gave us a wink, and our hearts couldn't help but sink last night. A Tribal Chief renewed his beef with an eventual challenger on SmackDown. And Begging Corbin took his schtick to the red brand in search of some sympathy.
It was a rather big week away from the squared-circle for a pair of WWE legends too as John Cena's Suicide Squad opened to rave reviews and The Rock's Jungle Cruise made a splash at the box office. Vinnie Mac will be hoping for similar success when Super Cena meets his chosen one in a few weeks time, and when/if The Great One makes his triumphant return to sports entertainment.
It's been exciting, intriguing, and devastating, in equal measure. But would you expect anything less from a week in the world of possessed dolls and drip sticks? Either way, at least it gifted us some WWE Instagram gold...
