Week four of the #UFL is in the books. We learned a lot, and also realized there’s still a lot we DON’T know. Here is my summation of the weekend for @uflnewshub.com

Reigns vs. Punk certainly had the feel of an epic, Wrestlemania-level main event. Night two was not perfect, but it blew night one out of the water. #Wrestlemania
Though Jade may never be the next Rhea or Iyo Sky, I think she's undoubtedly improved. Add that to the intangibles she brings to the table with her character and I think she's in a good spot at this point. #Wrestlemania
So the difference between an Unsanctioned Match and a Street Fight, apparently, is a tool box. #Wrestlemania
At least the music was peaceful and calming!
Another nice match with Trick and Zayn. I assume this loss sends Zayn off the deep end. Would also assume you've got to embrace Trick as a babyface. #Wrestlemania
I felt bad but I got a kick out of the Gingerbread man's mannerisms in Friday's Smackdown segment between Zayn and Trick. #Wrestlemania
There were no #UFL games today, but there was action: Two trades were made, both involving quarterbacks. I break down the deals below and grade each team's haul. @uflnewshub.com
I enjoyed the ladder match. Good to see Penta retain. Nice moment on a big stage for him. #Wrestlemania
Cole is overselling this match a little bit, thinking twice that wrestlers have died in this match. #Wrestlemania
If they get emotional for Lesnar's retirement given what he's been associated with, the screw them anyway.
(or unless this is a work)
So much for Gunther retiring Lesnar later this year, I guess. Which makes me wonder why they didn't just do Gunther vs. Lesnar here to retire Lesnar (unless it was a last-minute call by Brock to hang'em up). #Wrestlemania
Pretty decisive victory for Femi there. Usually when Lesnar loses he gets his heat back with a big angle the next night. We'll see if that's the case again. That win certainly puts Femi on the map. #Wrestlemania
Back for night two of #Wrestlemania. While I won't be hosting the @pwtorch post-show tonight, I WILL be here posting my thoughts throughout the night, so follow along, won't you?
Folks, we've reached peak Cody Rhodes. Shut it down. #Wrestlemania
Orton giving Iron Sheik a run for his money for slowest #Wrestlemania entrance.
Me, to my wife: Do you know who Pat McAfee is?
My wife: No.
Me: I envy that.
#Wrestlemania
The eventual tag team and then inevitable feud between Bianca's kid and Naomi's kid is going to be SOMETHING. #Wrestlemania
I'm a big fan of Vaquer but I think the title change here was probably the right call. #Wrestlemania
I can't believe a match involving two stars the level of Gunther and Rollins - at #Wrestlemania - can feel so cold. Yet, here we are.
Lynch vs. Lee didn't overstay its welcome as the previous match felt like it did. #Wrestlemania
Care about something as much as referees care about making sure turnbuckles are properly attached. #Wrestlemania
I like the one wrestler from each team in at a time rule in the Fatal Four Way tag matches. Probably could use a second referee to keep track of tags though. #Wrestlemania
I actually didn't even remember to start taking notes for it until the third match - but it'll be in the @pwtorch.bsky.social newsletter next week!
I'd say Paige is a pretty suitable replacement for Nikki in terms of fans getting a feeling of satisfaction with the surprise #Wrestlemania
Nice, signature win for Fatu on a big stage. You have to wonder if he's a guy that gets elevated sometime this year. #Wrestlemania
Have to laugh that they've made the ref take off the "official" ref shirt because this is unsanctioned, yet WWE's logo and Wrestlemania name remain plastered everywhere. #Wrestlemania
Feel good opener there. It definitely felt like too much of a "lower card" act and storyline than what you'd think The Vision should be involved in at this point. #Wrestlemania
