STOP DOING HEROIN
I thought Baron was the obvious choice for months, but now that they have a heel champ who's apparently keeping the belt for a long time, I'm less sure.

Cena wins #17 at SummerSlam just in time to eat a briefcase to the head followed by an End of Days on to a briefcase.

Randy and Cena are sometimes immune to WWE-Hometown-itis. (Orton actually won his last PPV match in St Louis.)

And yeah, Corbin can hold the case for a few months before cashing in, and it allows them to have him as a featured player without having to constantly be in title matches.
I also presume Carmella's winning the women's.

I'd actually be really cool with Carmella winning the women's. Anything that gets James Ellsworth on screen more is awesome.

MITB isn't the Royal Rumble. A heel can win despite the current champ also being heel. The cashin can happened whenever.

Owens is a fat waster who gets gassed, Zayn is a loser, Nak is lazy and Ziggler is bad. Without the Big Dog i'm projecting ***1/2 max.

I was responding to Rovert's tweet about Dave giving it four stars being easy money. I don't think it's a good play, because the ROI isn't good enough. Dave loves to overrate WWE multiple man matches, no doubt. But, I think it's clear that there is a major chance that the match will be a showcase for a wrestler Dave doesn't care for, Baron Corbin.

Corbin would have been an okay choice for the case before they pushed Jinder. It felt like Jinder is taking Corbin's "big man heel" spot, and while he's been beating on Sami, he still hasn't been able to buy a win in recent memory, so I don't think he's the best call to win the case at this point.

If anything, a person losing a lot before the match makes them more likely to win the briefcase and then lose a lot while holding it

I think there's been maybe three times that didn't happen? RVD, Cena, and :siren:KANE:siren:

That was such a good loving show. The first Styles/Cena match, good MitB match, all of the Shield holding the title in one night with the rightful Best Shield Member standing tall at thend. Also I looked at the card and have no memory of Apollo Crews beating Sheamus at all :confused:

Apollo Crews went over Sheamus a year ago. Today he's in a story with Titus.

This time last year was such an incredible stretch for WWE. MitB, Battleground, Takeover Brooklyn, SummerSlam, Backlash. It was just, *puckers lips, puts fingers on lips* MWAH.

And even though Raw fell apart after SummerSlam, SmackDown was still incredible right through to the Rumble.

Then he got a shot at a singles title at SummerSlam.

Allegedly the Smackdown main event for Summerslam is Cena/Jinder, which boggles my mind when they could have Cena/Styles, Styles/Nakamura, Styles/Orton, Orton/Nakamura, CENA/NAKAMURA (which better loving happen in the next 12 months) or even, and I swear I'd care more about it than Cena/Mahal, Cena and Orton part 20178.

Doesn't boggle my mind at all. I've been thinking that was happening for weeks. It's dumb, super dumb, but obvious.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I have no investment in World Champion Jinder Mahal but it kind of blows my mind that there's anyone anywhere who for any reason has anything left to look for from Cena vs Orton. Like, even if you love both of them and have loved every match... When's enough?

And if it drew really well, even then I'd understand. But it's pretty average business wise, IIRC.
