Is it me or was the woman who asked what they were doing Linda McMahon? It sounded like her voice, but I could be wrong.

There’s a bit of chatter that timezones may have allowed for Jinder to lose the title before he actually won it, depending on where the plane was when the title changed.

This is some great goofy ass shit that almost makes me want to watch again. Well not quite almost, but good for someone on the writing team. I'm sure Vince has nothing to do with this.

So, random thought since yesterday I had a dream based on this:
Can you win the 24/7 Championship via submission?
*Had a dream where I was 24/7 Champion, and used that to punk Paul Heyman during one of his in-ring promos, apologizing for accidentally interrupting it, shaking his hand, and yelling "I QUIT!" while doing so with a referee nearby.

As soon as I saw the vid early this morning of Jinder winning the title on the tarmac, I KNEW they'd do the sleeping pin thing.
........while I appreciate that they didn't do the (more classic) silent pinfall thing that Brisco did to Crash in 2000 (complete with the referee doing the count quietly and even the commentators whispering), I almost wish they had. The chaos on a plane schtick here was......eh. Not bad but coulda used something else, I guess?
And yeah, camera in the bathroom. Creepy. Kinda wish Truth had noticed that and said something; cracking that 4th wall is necessary for more than laughs sometimes.

When does Carmella pin Truth? And will that constitute a heel turn?

Wait, there wasn’t a bit in the Battle Royale where Truth won and lost the belt again several times mid match?
Gold right there, WWE. And you melted it all away.

With 50 people in the ring, yeah good luck getting some footage in that cluster Jinder did bring up losing the title in a promo so one would think they filmed some backstage stuff before they left

I'd just like to think R-Truth accidentally locked himself in the plane bathroom and ended up flying to, like, Brazil by accident or something.

Say, 10-20 or so.

Yeah, exactly. Or have a spot where Truth wins his title back after losing it in the match, dives out of the ring to celebrate, then realizes he’s lost the Battle Royale.

Or they saved it for another day when people are actually watching. I've seen the WWF do a 40 man battle royal (back in 1992), which was a clusterf, until the 20-30 jobbers were thrown over the top, so I'd hate to think what this one looked like with 50. (51! according to Wikipedia)

Or just have him fly to Saudi Arabia and back and (reads review) not even have him on the show.

I thought they were going to have him try and open the plane door.

When does Carmella pin Truth? And will that constitute a heel turn? I keep entering this thread, expecting to read that Carmella won it.

(51! according to Wikipedia) They changed the hardcore title plenty of times on UK shows where the potential audience was smaller than it was now. Again, it’s not a massive deal long term, it just feels like something you could do for fun with a fun title.

Wikipedia has down for location '39,000 feet above the Red Sea' lmao.
This title is great. Hope they keep this up.
