The Jim Ross Report Recap w/ Woken Matt Hardy Pt. 2 – WWE & Saudi Arabia, Drew McIntyre In Line to Win Titles, How Long Will Jeff Hardy Wrestle? More!

Ross thinks Braun Strowman is an attraction and is on television too much. He thinks Strowman should be kept special and limiting his television time would help in that matter. He also thinks Bobby Lashley is going to be a much better heel than he was a babyface.
He notes that it was great to see Rey Mysterio return on Smackdown this past week. Mysterio had a good, solid match with Nakamura and Ross is excited to see what WWE has in store for Mysterio in the future.

Just like last week, nothing topped the Becky Lynch/Charlotte storyline on Smackdown Live. He notes that this is such a great rivalry right now, similar to Dusty Rhodes vs. Ric Flair in the sense that fans don’t want it to end, and we should appreciate just how special it is.
Ross comments on the ongoing news surrounding Saudi Arabia and the Crown Jewel event, saying that if he were WWE he’d move very cautiously right now. This is a hot button topic, and they need to be very careful. The one thing that needs to be guaranteed is the health and safety of all the employees and performers that are travelling there, and if that can be guaranteed he thinks WWE should go.
