I just watched it and I'm honestly alright with the ending. The RKO has been purported for exactly that purpose for the past 90,000 matches Orton's had. My dislike is the after match stomping and celebration where he's totally unaffected by anything. He should be jumpy. He should be unnerved. He should have grabbed the belt, tensely celebrated a little, then got the gently caress out of the weird spooky ring. Bray's spooky swamp magic doesn't need to stop just because he gets beat.

I chuckled at the projections because those were good. That snake was incredible levels of bad and I think they meant for Randy to move faster down the ramp so it could slither faster after him. Instead, he just sort of plodded along so it clipped sadly along with him. If he'd gone down at a good run or a trot it'd have looked pretty alright.

I think snake was motion activated or something but it was just a loving lag fest or maybe the guy scrolling it was doing a loving awful job or something. It looked so bad

before randy joined the wyatts did he ever pull a RKO on bray? someone was joking the whole build being for randy to just RKO him but at least it would make sense if randy hadn't pulled it off before due to teleportation/luke

My issues with Roman at this point aren't entirely about him, but the storylines he's in and matches they lead to being an element of the WWE I don't enjoy. So generally I ignore it and get updates from you all and friends.

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

Miz/Cena had amazing video packages at the start. I still to this day watch the "you can hate me now" video.

Looking forwar to Taker's return next year to put over in interviews the only two men who can beat him at wrestlemania.

So are they seriously going to take the Universal title out of contention for a whole loving year to build to Roman vs. Brock AGAIN? God it must feel great to be stuck on the RAW roster with nothing to compete for.

You know that video package didn't make WWE's top 20 wrestlemania entrances in the video they put out this year? That "you can hate me now" video was loving great and I too still pop it on sometimes right before wrestlemania.

Not 100% confirmed but Dave and Bryan say it's looking like that's the case.

I've said it before. Roman is not bad in the ring. He is largely competent and can do what he needs to do. He is however only good at having one wwe style match. He has nothing special or unique about him. He isn't technical, he can't fly, he doesent really do power stuff. He just has basic wwe style matches. I don't think he has the ability to call stuff on the fly and I think that's part of the reason the match was so bad last night. The matches story wasn't there at all. I think the story was that Roman wasn't afraid of taker but I don't really know how that's an interesting story because Roman didn't really do anything to convey that last night other than doing his moves he always does.

He's basically Sid except Sid could cut a better promo. Maybe Roman needs to start saying he's the master and the ruler of the world.

There's just no way. I have absolutely 0 faith in WWE on most days but I can't even see this actually happening. We are going to get a 365 day reign from Brock?

Nah.

If that actually happens, we need to shut this place down.

When the drug test comes back positive for performance enhancing drugs.
Dave only said the main event is going to be Brock vs. Roman for the belt. They never said who would be holding the belt. It's entirely possible for Brock to drop the belt at some other PPV, and then either win it back, or Roman picks it up in time for the match to happen at WM.

so who beats brock for the belt before the golden child? unless he just drops it due to not wanting to leave his farm until the 3rd c-130 of cash from vince comes in

Nah, it'll be Brock as champ.

Brock only lost his title before because Roman got pinned. Only Goldberg has taken him down. They're going to try to keep up that strength so that it's theoretically impressive (it probably won't be) when Roman takes him down.

There was a lot of fear of it on Twitter last night. According to someone I trust backstage the SmackDown girls genuinely almost got cancelled, they got a lot of time cut so they did the best with what they had. Hope it gets noted in the Observer or on PWInsider.

I mean the obvious answer is Finn Balor right? I imagine they could have a triple threat with Brock/Owens/Balor, since both Owens has a rematch and Balor never lost the belt,, and have Balor pin Owens. Brock could take the belt off Balor at Summerslam and run with it until Mania, where THE BIG DOG will be crowned once again.

He cashed in his rematch the next night, Seth claimed he was jet lagged so there would be no match and ran off for his life. Brock then murdered the entire announce team leaving Bryon Saxton to call the rest of Raw by himself where upon he died a death until they sent out Jerry to save the show. BRock was then suspended until Battleground, when the authority brought him back for "reasons" and Taker ht him repeatedly in the dick.
