That doesn't mean it's not dumb to immediately run the match again with fewer stakes though.

At least attach a title shot for Brooklyn to it or something.

I think the dumb part isn't booking the rematch, but putting Lars vs. Black as the title match instead of Gargano and Ciampa in a 3 way. But because you're doing the Lars match, you need another marquee match on the show to get people to watch. And Ciampa vs. Gargano 2 will do that since people liked it the first time.

I get running the 2nd one so quickly makes the 1st one seem less special. This Takeover will probably be a let down coming off the last one.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
They could have done any number of things to gotten them back to a rematch this quickly, from having Ciampa fake-quit after losing and costing Gargano a title shot, to having a mini tournament where they meet each other at the end.

The issue, as always with WWE, is giving no breathing room to let consequences even have a chance of happening.

Or like having Ciampa put Johnny in the hospital.

Having him derail him again for a couple weeks and then picking on Candace would have been a good continuation of the story. "You should have put me down when you had the chance, but even your wife is more of a man than you are"

wait is that what happened, I didn't pay close attention to the spoilers

This is totally perhaps the biggest issue with WWE storytelling anymore. They have such a bloated roster that they should be doing this by default but instead it is rushing through matches like it is a race and making everything not matter.

quote:

- Roman Reigns is out first, reportedly to the usual negative reaction. He calls out Jinder Mahal, and it’s General Manager Kurt Angle who answers. Angle is putting Mahal in a Triple Threat Money in the Bank qualifier with Bobby Lashley and Elias tonight. Roman wants in on that, but the GM says no. Reigns accepts that but says he’s gonna do what he needs to do and heads backstage to find The Modern Day Maharajah. They brawl backstage and the fans cheer Jinder. When they return to the arena, Reigns lands a Superman Punch and officials pull them apart.

- Seth Rollins def. Kevin Owens via pinfall following a Curb Stomp to retain the Intercontinental Title, in a match which is predictably described as excellent

- Nia Jax and Ronda Rousey’s Money in the Bank title match is announced in the arena

- Bobby Roode def. Baron Corbin and No Way Jose via pinfall (Glorious DDT on Jose) for a spot in the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match

- In a backstage segment, KO demands a rematch with Rollins from Angle. Kurt shoots him down.

- Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel are here, and they’re now known as “The B Team” (“B” seems to be short for “best”)

- The B Team def. Breezango via pinfall following a tandem neckbreaker to Fandango; British fans were into Dallas and Axel, chanted The A Team theme song thoughout the match

- Sasha Banks, Natalya and Ember Moon vs. The Riott Squad

Uhhh did I miss something? Why is Ronda suddenly in a title match?

If fans cheering Jinder is what will finally sink the Roman boat I will forgive Jinder for everything he's been involved in for the last year, up to and including Jindertitty

They are just never going to give Balor two weeks of positive momentum in a row, are they.

Also, is this really what they brought Lashley in to do? Holy poo poo.

That joke spot is probably like 90% of the reason to put her in a ladder match.

(The other 10% is she seems to be okay with jumping off high stuff and is easy to catch.)

Also just lmao that the only conceivable defense for Jinder at this point is that he's effective as a heel because everybody hates him and then he goes and gets cheered against Roman.
