if they put the strap on Reigns the show ends with thunderous boos and no one benefits from that either
I would've preferred if Rusev and ADR were able to dispatch Roman in a decisive way while Sheamus climbed the ladder. Roman beating everyone up and just "LOL you lose anyway" makes everyone look ineffectual. He could still have done the chair rampage afterwards and it would've made marginally more sense.

It was fine. Tables matches are inherently lame because you can't really use them as weapons and the only thing you can really do is set up tables that people forget about.

actually it was very bad. tons of blown spots, stroman and dreamer looked lost half the time, and multiple dumb teases with no payoff.

Dreamer did approximately 2 moves in the match and spent the rest of it either sleeping or setting up tables.

Nice to see the Wyatts get a win. Strong Bro Man's chokeslam ending spot was cool and good.

That spot Kalisto did tonight was so awesome it would be a crime to just fade him back into obscurity. They have to do something with the Lucha Dragons.

Sin Cara should be the revolving door partner for every incoming luchador until they're big enough to go off on their own.

Hunico's a solid hand but doesn't do much to stand out, so a lucha mentor role would be good for him. They've actually pretty consistently been protecting Kalisto, like how he managed to beat Ryback in the title tournament and then looked really good in the next round.

That angle after the main event was great. I don't know what they're going to do on Monday, but it was the absolute best Roman has looked since the Shield were an active group. More of that, and he's a star.

Attention-starved & smugly condescending, the hipster has been deemed by
top scientists as:
"The self-important, unemployable clowns of the modern age."
I totally expect them to poo poo up the angle in the most efficient way possible. :flaccid:

Handing Reigns a chair every time they used to hand him a mic is the way, going forward. The WWE fan hivemind has got this one right.

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
Others have said it, but I just want to reiterate how great it was that the announcers acted like Roman was some goddamn uncontrollable crazy person who could snap at anyone at any moment.

"STOP THIS, ROMAN! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? THIS IS INSANE!" as he hit Hunter with the chair 59 times and then beat the piss out of him on the outside is the kind of Reigns they should push going forward. No more goofy one-liners written by a 50-something advertising executive.

Just Roman Reigns going nuts on people with inanimate objects and having to be restrained by refs. People reacted positively to it, too. There were a lot of "THANK YOU RO-MAN" chants to end the show.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

It's really simple. HHH is a heel. And because he is HHH, he thinks he is the biggest baddest most important heel now and forever.

How to get someone over as a face? Have them beat down this big bad Cerebral Assassin Badass heel a lot. (And because I am HHH and do whats best for business I am happy getting beat down a lot.)

Now here comes the thing. If HHH Cenas this beatdown, and comes out with a long Authority promo then its hosed and back to business as usual. However if Roman decisively beats him up, (or intimidates him in any way), on RAW, then they have finally figured out how to push Roman Reigns.

And if they do that, his path to getting the title in a few months will be ACE.
