Austin is #1 on WWE's Mt. Rushmore for me. While WWE was stacked in the late 90s/early 00s, Austin remained the biggest draw among the stars. His run was short, but WWE is still eating off of Austin's prime. His heel runs are too over looked. The Power Trip is one of my favorite teams. Austin as Vince's best friend was one of his best runs.

This shit right here is one of the best segments ever. He was so over as a face that he really had to turn it up to get heel heat. He may be both the GOAT baby face and one of the best heels.
 
According to Showbuzz Daily, Tuesday’s show netted 773,000 viewers for a 0.23 rating point in the 18-49 year old demographic. Both numbers are way up from last week’s 581K and 0.16, respectively. You have to go all the way back to April 20, 2021, to find an episode of NXT that scored better numbers than this.

NXT finished second place among cable originals, only falling short of the College World Series on ESPN. This is also a significant improvement over last week’s 8th place finish, and it’s the highest NXT has ever ranked on the chart.

This week’s NXT show was the first of two straight special Gold Rush episodes. WWE has been sending a lot of main roster talent down to NXT lately, most likely in an effort to boost ratings. It worked like a charm this time, with World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins coming over from Raw to defend his belt against Bron Breakker.
 
Id argue to what yall were talking about last night that Roman is a special attraction match and not a top 4 or 5 ever. I grt we love the Bloodline story lol but nah.
 
PWInsiderElite.com has heard from multiple WWE sources that the 7/7 Friday Night Smackdown taping at Madison Square Garden in NYC is targeted for Carlito's return to the company. So, he's heading to the Blue brand.

We've gotten a lot of emails from Elites asking for insight into the Money in the Bank winners and whether Logan Paul has changed any of those plans. We are told that the plan all along was for Paul to be featured in the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match and there were no creative changes. We haven't heard any 100% definitive plans for the Men's MITB winner, although there are certainly people pushing for it to be the LA Knight breakthrough moment.

On the women's end, we have consistenly heard without fail that IYO SKY has been and remains the frontrunner for the briefcase this year, but until it happens, anything can change, especially with Vince McMahon back around. There's been loads of instances of things changing the day of over the years.

WWE sources indicate there are many in the company who believe Drew McIntyre will be back "in the mix" by the UK tour and Money in the Bank.

Cathy Corino aka Allison Danger is at the WWE Performance Center again this week, working as a Guest Coach.

A&E is doing a takeoff of WWE's Most Wanted Treasures for the hip hop genre.
