Seeing a white person say unironically that PK and WL are colonizers is so fucking telling that they have zero idea of what racism actually is or the implications behind it, they're just parroting the most basic bullshit to look good. Like come the fuck on that take is racist as shit and its not because PK and WL are any less awful than colonizers. It's incorrect at best but genuinely an awful fucking take when parroted for clout bc you dont wanna be seen as problematic
(It's racist bc equating a genocidal god who you have to shred apart with extreme violence in order to have peace with the pain and anger of indigenous people is. Hm. Bad!!! Not to mention the fact that Radi has a very strong Christian angel motif going on and engages in a 'holy crusade' against everyone in Hallownest INCLUDING OTHER INDIGENOUS TRIBES NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE PALE KING like how the actual fuck can you look at her and go 'oh yeah she represents indigenous people because the moths have what look like dreamcatcher motifs with the essence motes' and unironically think you're not being racist. What the actual fuck)
((Double disclaimer: you can actually write a really interesting and nuanced altcanon narrative with this concept but the problem is that almost nobody ever does, they only ever flag it as 'problematic' because they want to look good, not bc they know the implications))
Drew v Seth: I was so happy for Drew when he pinned Seth. Seth was taking those hits like a boss but Drew was honestly slaying. Drew’s entrance looked cool asf but wth was Seth’s😭!? Him tweeting during the match was actually so funny. But anyways, DAMIAN CASHING IN WAS AMAZING AND JUDGEMENT DAY CHEERING TOGETHER AT THE END MADE ME SO HAPPY!!! (I expected Damian to cash in but I was glad he did) Match was still really short tho.
The Pride v The Final Testament: I like both teams but may I say, Scarlett and Karrion looked badass. Some of those hits had to be painful, on both sides. Also Karrion just picking Scarlett up at the end was lowkey sweet. Again, it was really short.
LA Knight v AJ Styles: That flip from AJ over the top rope was smooth. Both of them got in some good hits. That Avalanche German Suplex was actually insane. I was honestly rooting for AJ(who was looking like an absolute daddy btw😩) and I’m genuinely sad he lost. The end was lowkey stupid tho.
Randy Orton v Kevin Owens v Logan Paul: The start was genuinely funny, Randy getting on the back of the cart and riding along. Teaming up on Logan was a good idea. Also like, what did KO expect? Ofc Randy was gonna try to RKO him. They all got some good hits. I was NOT expecting IShowSpeed to be in the suit😭🤣! I was pulling for Randy but I still didn’t mind Logan retaining. Honestly he makes a good heel.
Bayley v Iyo Sky: Bayley’s wrestling gear looked great but Iyo looked lowkey drunk walking down(lol). They both gave us a good match tbh. Bayley was being an absolute beast, taking those hits pretty well. And I’m so happy that Bayley is finally getting what she deserves, she absolutely deserved that win!
Cody v Roman: The orchestra for Roman’s entrance was pretty cool honestly. (He looking fucking hot as ever btw🤭 also he stuck his tongue out so omfg, he cannot keep lookin like that😩). (He could call me a little bitch if he wanted🤞). Jimmy and Jey coming out to fight was pretty cool. I was just waiting for Solo to show up lol. John Cena and Rock coming out to face off with each other was great! I was hoping Dean was the one to come but Seth is alr ig. Roman choosing to hit Seth over Cody was a nice “Fuck you” for when they were in Shield. I actually cheered when Taker came out!!! Both Roman and Cody were absolute BEASTS during the match. I love Roman and I would’ve loved for him to win but it was for the best.
Overall: The matches were a bit short but holy shit was it worth it. The main event was amazing and so chaotic!!!
Reminder: These are just my opinions so don’t get like pressed or anything lol.
The fortress stood like an old sentinel guarding the secrets of a bygone era, its stone walls weathered but unyielding under the relentless siege of rain. The waters lapped at its foundations with the indifference of time itself, teasing at the thought of erosion—the final surrender of man's creation to the whims of nature.
It was a gray morning, the sky and the lake one continuous canvas of melancholic hues. The rain fell in steady, vertical lines, as if trying to stitch the fortress back to the earth from which it had once defiantly risen. Within this curtain of rain, not a soul stirred. It was as though life had forsaken this place, leaving it to its silent vigil.
No flags adorned the battlements, no sentries peered into the gloomy distance. The only movement came from the wind's whisper through the crenellated towers, an eerie mimicry of hushed conversations long since faded into the mists of time. This stronghold, once resonant with the clamor of armored feet and the ring of steel, now hosted only the soft symphony of raindrops against stone.
In moments like these, the fortress did not seem real, more a rendering from a poet's dream than a relic of the physical world. It begged for tales of gallant knights and lost loves, of epic battles and sacred oaths sworn upon its now silent halls. The rain, indifferent to human sentiment, continued to fall, painting everything with the sheen of forgotten days.
As morning bled into afternoon and the rain subsided to a drizzle, the fortress seemed almost to sigh, a release of its breath held through the centuries. And still, it stood, watching over waters unmoved—a perennial testament to the ephemeral glory of empires past.

Some matches were a bit plain but holy shit some of those were amazing and chaotic. I loved Rhea v Becky and they still fought well despite Becky being sick. Could’ve been longer but I like how the ladder match went! Rock & Roman v Seth & Cody was crazy cool. Drew v Seth was absolutely awesome and then Damian coming to cash in made it even more awesome! Bayley & Iyo put up a hell of a fight, Bayley deserves that title. And Cody v Roman was abso-fucking-lutely insane. It was so chaotic that I just loved it so much!
Not saying I hate the other matches btw, these were just my favorites!
(Also Roman was looking hot asf, like what I wouldn’t do for him.🤭😋)
