Weekend Recap (6/10/16 - 6/12/16)

Friday (6/10):

• Ate at The Cutting Board, a Filipino gastropub that opened up near our place. We were ready to walk out of the place because no one took our order for nearly 15 minutes. We got a seafood paella and pork belly and got bibingka souffle as a comp.
• We just walked around the park for a bit
  

Saturday (6/11):

• Dropped off Biko to get her summer hair cut. It always baffles me how tiny and skinny she looks afterwards.
• Went to do some grocery shopping at Costco and Wal-Mart. I made some Swedish Meatball pasta for lunch.

Sunday (6/12):

• Ate at Original House of Pancakes for breakfast. We haven't eaten here in years!
• Went to Santa Fe Station to watch "Popstar: Never Stop Stopping." This movie hasn't been doing to well, and it was evident when we were seated in a smaller theater with 2-3 other people.
• Walked around Fashion Show Mall for a bit
• Went to Berry Blends to get smoothies
• Just stayed at home and played Overwatch. Also watched Preacher and ROH before sleeping.

What to expect for Monday Night RAW:

It's really tough to say. Considering that MITB got so much focus last week, it looks like they're shifting the focus back to Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns for the WWE WHC. As usual, continuity is thrown out the window with the return of the Ambrose Asylum (the show not the cage match) and with Rollins and Reigns as the guests. What makes this interesting is that it will be Ambrose and Reigns first time to actually interact on screen since Fastlane and Ambrose and Rollins haven't interacted since his injury last year. For weeks, WWE has been teasing Ambrose as the favorite to win MITB, and he's been winning a majority of his recent matches, save for Smack Down where Jericho beat Ambrose via Codebreaker. Ambrose is being used to tease the Shield Triple Threat but I'm convinced that this is just a red herring again.

The big thing that isn't being talked about is the brand extension that's happening next month when Smack Down goes live. The recent Smack Down scored one of its lowest TV ratings. If they want to elevate Smack Down to be an equal flagship brand, they need to get their shit together quick.
