What parts were good were still pretty skippable in the grand scheme of things, just read a synopsis. Maybe watch the Highlight Reel so you can receive the gift of Jericho. Drink it in, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

his back hurt a great deal which limited his ability to perform all those moves we know and love so when he finally got that big rear end in a top hat cheater sheamus (who cut a promo before the match about how he's not even worried about tonight so he's just going to coast to a victory at some point over the next two weeks) to the mat he got his feet up on the ropes and pushed off to assist in his pin, knowing that a title shot was on the line if he couldn't escape this week

if you followed the story they're telling with the best of 7 series so far it was a good character moment from the swiss superman cesaro

I just got off a 3 hour flight and the last thing I read on my phone was the reaction to this and I'm still laughing

this sounds like a bad Raw but I'm loving stoked to finally get to watch Backlash tonight!

quote:

Tom Phillips is backstage interviewing Universal Champion Kevin Owens. Owens is still calling him the wrong name. He promises that Roman Reigns won't be added to the match. Jericho is standing behind Tom and is mad at Foley for stealing the guest of the Highlight Reel away from him tonight. He says instead his guest will be Owens' former friend Sami Zayn. He says he's gonna prove that Sami is nothing but a Stupid Idi-It!

...

Jericho invites Sami to the Highlight Reel. He wanted the highest of the highs with Owens but will settle with the lowest of the low with Sami. Sami says Jericho is a fool if he doesn't know how Owens really treats his friends. Jericho says he's BFFs and has been texting Owens all night because Owens has a new phone number that Sami can't have. Sami questions what became of the world traveling wrestler that he and Owens looked up to because from what he sees Jericho's just become Owens' bitch. Jericho says he got a text from Owens about Sami and asked if he wanted to see it before smashing the phone on Sami's head then hitting a Codebreaker.

this sounds good though and i hope it is on youtube. sami sounds uncharacteristically rude to jericho here tho

quote:

After the match Swagger is walking backstage and gets stopped. He's asked by Tom Phillips what's next for Jack Swagger because everyone knows that his WWE Raw contract is expiring soon. Swagger just storms off.

????

quote:

Kevin Owens is walking to the ring for his match when Seth Rollins stops him. Owens says if Rollins touches him he loses his one on one title shot, but Rollins says he doesn't want to give up his chance to beat HHH's new golden boy one on one. Owens comments how he doesn't believe Rollins can beat him as he's had people help him win his whole title reign and since he's been back he's only lost. Owens says the new catchphrase "Redesign, Rebuild, Reclaim" should be more like "Redesign, Rebuild, Replaced." Foley shows up an tells Owens to knock it off and get to the ring. Foley tells Rollins he knows he wants revenge on Owens but if he interferes in the match there will be serious consequences.

Kevin Owens has a match based around avoiding Roman Reigns and putting him in multiple headlocks and literally nothing happened until Seth attacked Owens. Owens won the match via DQ and Roman was out of the Universal Title match. However Foley and agents come out and pull Seth off Owens. Foley says that Seth couldn't listen and now they're gonna have a talk and the consequences will be handed out. Foley says the match isn't ending that way and is being restarted.

Kevin Owens defeats Roman Reigns by pinfall after Rusev returns and distracts Roman Reigns.

Rusev continues to assault Roman Reigns as Lana watches to end the show.

Things that were good:
Jericho: every moment. Sami wasn't as much of a prick but I felt was that guy warning Jericho what will happen. Zayn and Jericho will be a good feud.
KO and especially the Seth and KO confrontation: The icing on top of the bloody cake was as KO goes to leave he gives this freakin laugh. The whole exchange was great as KO just walked all over Seth verbally. Granted I've always been a KO fan but man.... he's such a great rear end in a top hat champion.
The match was better than the OP suggested. Good match tho it seemed like high pitched cheers were still coming for Roman. KO got tons of cheers. Rusev had a chant going at the end so yay for people embracing a true champion versus Roman.
In the Women's Champ thang: Bayley was cool and people still like her so its worth a watch.

The Swagger and Jinder thing was bizarre. I couldn't tell Jinder's finisher but it looked like a weak RKO. Couldn't tell but its not good. Was the first time I've seen Swagger in a year (I think). His contract coming up is odd. I was thinking about it as he lost but now its an angle? Who knows. Still think Swagger would do good in other feds. Jinder was jobbing one moment but he might get a Titus program I guess.

I skipped Cesaro as once I saw Shaemus I knew it was time to go smoke and do something else for a bit. I'm not going to watch any more of his matches.

I'd hazard a guess that the Swagger Raw contract coming up is an excuse to get him over to Smackdown to try and revitalise his career/give their roster some depth.

But she's built more like a female Rhyno, so logically she should be on Smackdown to give Rhyno and Slater a partner that allows the trio to take on all comers.

That actually sounds like a good idea. Swagger is big and athletic but low to mid card due to having no charisma or mic skills. Maybe on Smackdown they can give him a Ziggler type push where he's at least seen as a credible wrestler, instead of jobbing him out to another jobber.

Enzo Amore is really good on the mic minus the stupid entrance catchphrase. Whenever New Day drops the tag titles, I hope Enzo and Cass get them in short order. Speaking of New Day, they're at their best when they come out first and talk poo poo. Looks like they're making WWE bank with their merch so I doubt we'll see them go heel anytime soon which is a shame.

I hope this Brooke and Charlotte thing runs its course soon, because it just comes off as stupid and annoying. I like how Sasha, Bayley, or Charlotte would all make a good women's champ, hopefully they can add more to make the division better.

I like how Kevin Owens upstaged Rollins backstage on the mic.

That's actually pretty drat good. Swaggie could certainly fill out SmackDown's midcard and he'd probably get over within a month or two if used correctly.
