    Zayn Lynch is like a made up name as a homage to David Lynch

    Becky out first round.

    1 match a week? and how are they being recorded I wonder.

    It’s only a 20 minute show. Facebook live videos need to be short and snappy to keep the followers interested.

    Maybe it streams live after Smackdown? Though that would mean delaying 205 Live

    I think first 3 matches will be won by Raw and the last 3 by Smackdown.

    "air on WWE Network in UK"

    I am happy it'll get a Network release, but WWE region-locking content?! I don't like the sound of that. Unless they have a TV deal in place, that's wildly cu**y thing to do; there's no licensing issue... The article says "10pm Eastern, 3am UK Jan 19" so maybe they're just trying to seem more UK-centric...

    At least it's not Susan G. Komen.

    So tired of Bliss' dominance though.

    Balor and Nak were good, made me desperately want to see them 1 on 1. The other two were awful as usual. You're missing nothing.

    Enjoyed this week's. Was fun to watch. Probably the most personality we've seen from Braun and different than the monster character.

    Asuka's reaction to Miz speaking Japanese is great...

    I've watched all three and you can see she is getting more comfortable.

    Also I see "god greatest creation" Mandy rose is big goldies partner in the MMC. That's a good call and could be a thing after the thing is over. I've seen a few videos and unlike most things in WWE it doesn't appear scripted to within an inch of its life.

    Even if Lana did a roll up using the ropes it would make slightly more sense

    I was impressed with mandy Rose in her match with Goldust. I know she's green compared to most of the women(bar lana) but she showed with a bit more experience and practice she could be very good in the ring.

    So it was confirmed this week that Asuka's streak counts in a tag match even if she doesn't take the pin. So I guess that means they will be winning the tournament
