Die Planungen für die Survivor Series sind endlich finalisiert. Naja, eigentlich doch noch nicht, da das fünfte Mitglied der Damenmannschaft von Smackdown Live nach wie vor nicht feststeht. Aber unabhängig davon gab es bei den Go Home Shows einiges an interessanten Wendungen: Jason Jordan muss seinen Platz räumen, dafür bookt sich niemand anderes als Triple H in das Team. Ob es glücklich ist, Babyfaces weinerlich darzustellen (gerade, wenn sie eh schon einen schweren Stand bei den Fans haben) und ob heelige Autoritätspersonen sich so inszenieren sollten, dass man sie bejubelt - darüber sprechen wir heute ebenso wie über die Tatsache, dass Charlotte in Charlotte auf der Zielgeraden von SmackDown Women's Championship von Natty gewinnen durfte - inklusive tränenreicher Siegesfeier mit dem wieder genesenen Vater Ric! Ansonsten kommt doch tatsächlich eine vierte Staffel von Lucha Underground. Was man diesbezüglich erwarten kann, soll auch Thema unseres Wochenrückblicks sein. Heute für euch dabei: Julian (aka JE_2601) und Andreas (aka Silentpfluecker). REINHÖREN! :)
