Meanwhile, in Phoenix...
Brie reunites with Bryan in Phoenix so she can be there for him during his upcoming doctor/therapist appointments. Look, I’ve been going over this for the past three episodes but it still sucks.
Bryan was forced to retire then told there is NO chance he can ever wrestle again. He bolted because of course, it’s difficult to be living with a family of professional wrestlers, take care of a rehabbing professional wrestler, AND try to figure out what to do with his life outside of the ring.
I understand and appreciate Brie’s efforts, but showing up to a detached husband to talk about how it’s Wrestlemania season and that’s why she’s super busy must be the worst. I’m not gonna pretend to know what’s best for anyone here, and the timing of all of it is terrible.
I hate watching one of my favourite wrestlers be so miserable and his wife and her career taking hits because of it. I just want Bryan to feel better and focus on being the best Bryan he can be and then maybe he can finally find his shoes.
JJ went from being the levelheaded little bro who I could always count on to being kind of a bratty jerk, and now he’s been forced to see both his sisters’ boobs in one episode. He’s gone from top shelf to casualty in just a handful of ‘sodes and it’s just a reminder that nothing is guaranteed in this topsy-turvy world we live in.
When Nikki confronts him about wanting a boy child and how that might affect Lauren he considers that it’s because his dad sucked, so he wants a chance to do a better job at being a father. Well, you already lost Round 1 by having a preference, dude.
