He explains who's going where and why, why the titles should NOT be split and why the booking of the WWE women's division is the BIGGEST FAILURE of Triple H so far as the head of creative. Then he gets into the latest on CM Punk returning to AEW, including his planned return date, why he hasn't spoken with The Young Bucks since Brawl Out and why it's completely asinine that it hasn't happened yet, and listing all of the potential opponents for Punk to work with.

WWE Smackdown 4/21/23 Review - THE MOST RANDOM BACKLASH BOOKING EVER MADE
Solomonster reviews WWE Smackdown for April 21st, a boring, lame duck show just killing time until the WWE Draft next week. The women's division is even worse under Triple H than it was under Vince McMahon. Oh, and Seth Rollins is wrestling Omos at Backlash. Why? Because f@*$ you, that's why!***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

WWE Raw Review 4/17/23 - BROCK DRESSES UP LIKE THE UNDERTAKER AND SAYS NOTHING
Solomonster reviews WWE Monday Night Raw for April 17th, a pretty average episode that felt like they were mostly filling time until the draft in a couple of weeks. Brock Lesnar showed up, as advertised, and proceeded to say and do absolutely nothing, but Adam Pearce gave Cody his requested match at Backlash anyway. Also, Becky Lynch was missing, but Trish Stratus was there to explain her betrayal the week before.***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join
