After last night ’s WWE Raw , is SNL , Peacock , and Meryl Streep more " Attitude Era " than the WWE , Netflix , Seth Rollins , and CM Punk ?
Okay , let ’s get this out of the room . Monday nighttime ’s steel cage match betweenSeth RollinsandCM Punkon Netflix’sWWE Rawhad some pretty excellent piece of work from both of them – and that was well beforeRoman Reignsmade his game - changing counter to end the match by pose his pound of flesh ( and then some ) from both Rollins and Punk . But a weird thing happened in the thick of all of the action that reminded us that just because the show ’s on Netflix does n’t mean it ’s going to be much different from USA connection – at least in term of what the streamer ( and the WWE , we ’re assume ) wo n’t allow to be streamed live . In this case , it ’s the middle digit – which was a perfect summation to build dramatic event between Rollins and Punkandsomething the streamer try desperately to lug with a black screen ( though the streamer ’s success seems to vary ground on social media reaction . We did n’t think much about it at the clip , and it dawn on us earlier today .

" It ’s just unbelievably rude . " Gasteyer added , " We ’re talking about you , Meryl Streep . We see you . " The camera cut to Streep – sitting with her friend , Martin Short – who pay the duo the center finger from her seat in the audience .
And guess what ? We got to see it – and no one endeavor to dump out of it three minutes too late , either . Obviously , we ’re having a little playfulness , so take need to drop a 10000 - word manifesto on why you ca n’t compare the two ( we wo n’t take it anyway ) , but it is interesting to take note that it shows how some fans are still apply onto the feeling that the Netflix deal should bring a issue to the " Attitude Era " of honest-to-goodness . But that does n’t appear to be beneficial forbusiness …
