The start to this tag team match is so bad

middle of this tag team match: also bad

end of this tag team match: slightly better but don't they know when Cesaro does that move its the Swiss-1-9?

 

The miz ending was probably the most normal one of the night honestly I'm always supportive of heel managers doing things like that to help their guy win

 

Fully expecting a rematch on Raw with Maryse banned or soemthing.

 

Fully expecting WWE to do squat with it because that's what they've done with any other opportunity Sami has gotten.

Sami transferring to Smackdown to get his rematch is probably the smartest way to handle things. But I don't have faith WWE knows what is smart.

 

It feels like moving Miz to Raw makes the most sense given DB's protest of him over the last few weeks. It doesn't make any sense that he defends him at all. Coming to an agreement with Mick and Steph makes a ton of sense. It going the other way doesn't, to me. Why give up the chance for a guy to bring a belt back to your show? Unless there is a pretty good trade or something. Maybe they'll try and get Jack Swagger back, given the impact he's made.

 

Put Maryse in a shark cage above the ring!

 

They're not gonna have both "midcard" belts on the same brand though

 

Zayn is probably gonna restart his feud with strowman I'm guessing

 

Kayfabe, Miz just resigned his contract. He can't just get up and go to raw and if he does, he certainly isn't going to walk into a match with his wife banned from ring side. Steph is going to be upset at Sami for losing focus and not bringing home the belt. Bryan, on the other hand, is going to want to use Sami to get the belt of Miz. He can promise him a title shot (either a 1 v 1 or maybe a triple threat at TLC with Ziggles) with Maryse banned from ring side. They can also play up Sami feeling under utilized on the Raw roster for more reasons for him to want to move.

 

Only reason they would is because Roman mgiht have both belts after Roadblock. But all that does is bury the IC and US titles...

I think Miz is off scott free, and I agree Sami goes back to feud with Braun.

 

Looks like next weeks episode of NXT will be live.

 

Welp, thats already gone in kayfabe. Backstage she shrugged it off next to Mick, blaming Maryse for it and accepting it.

Sami isnt getting fired, and Id be stunned if he got another shot.

 

Sami feuding with Braun and ending the logical way (Braun going over) would mean Sami would've lost three PPV matches in a row. I get that underdogs need to lose a lot of the time, but they can't be completely buried.

 

Ellsworth stopping Braun from getting in the ring was perfect.

Can't wait to see what crazy hijinks happens with those two at the rumble.

this mens match has had a lot of good moments but is way too fucking long.

Nakamura performed more suplexes this weekend than Lesnar. wut.

 

for some reason i believe that this is part of the "reverse momentum" way that wrestling works. i'm not positive and don't have anything to back up my reasoning off hand, but i believe that we've seen a number of wrestlers go on PPV losing streaks before getting a big push or a title reign of some sort shortly after this. for some reason i feel like KO went on a losing streak after Mania (from when he lost his IC title at Mania to a few PPV's later) to becoming Universal Champion.

not saying this always happens, but i believe it does happen from time to time. could be the same for Sami. but does he really need a title or a big push? everyone wanted KO to be champion and most seem to think it has sucked or been very underwhelming.

 

In ring, KO's title reign has been mediocre, but thats on the booking. In promos, its been great. And its gonna get even more incredible tonight.

 

Well, he "lost" to the Miz. And he beat Rusev in there to get the title shot.

Losing to Braun in a valiant effort is better than the alternative, which is no match at Roadblock (Jericho is already booked v Seth)

 

please no title run for goldberg

 

omg no

 

Just a way to get him into the Rumble, don't think they'll actually put the belt on him...

 

horrible crowd

 

Yeah, I got slightly scared with a knee-jerk reaction to his speech, didn't quite think they'd announce his RR entry so early even if we all knew it was happening already.

 

what in the actual fuck is this supercard commercial

 

if Rock can announce a fucking title match EIGHT months in advance, goldberg declaring himself in november is more than fine lol

 

And why did they flip the shocked Undertaker guy video like a Youtuber trying to get around copyright laws?

Lots of questions here
