I missed the end of Raw due to interruption of service. I missed an awesome moment, didn't I?

I am sort of glad it wasn't Dean. I think he has a bright future as an anti-hero ahead of him and should be Rollins' first solo feud.

The Usos need more mic time if tonight is an indication of what they can deliver. It's a shame they're probably dropping the titles to the Wyatts soon since we are starting up the typical "champions lose a non-title match to establish contenders" feud. There are certainly no other teams the Wyatts could have fought for contendership instead.

Rusev needs to wear a jacket more.

this shield breakup made me rewatch the payback fallout show. Nothing really screams breakup from that show. I'm guessing that they are gonna say that Rollins was fed up with stagnating and wanted more than just being apart of a three man crew. And of course, HHH can push Rollins to the moon cause he's the boss.

Seth Rollins is tired of being stuck in a successful three man team so he joins the less successful joke of a team in Evolution. Can't wait for Rollins to lose to Roman and hear everyone else complain about how they should never have broken up the Shield. While Dean fades away in the background.

I can't tell if turning Seth is the dumbest smart thing or the most brilliant dumb thing because he was the flippy dude who played Ricky Morton and Ambrose probably got called up to the WWE based on his heel work.

It's certainly an unexpected swerve, though.

I know we make fun of Sanguinia's essays and everything but I think he was pretty much spot on here. It makes perfect sense to turn Rollins because it's the GOOD kind of swerve. It's not a Russo swerve where it's there for the sake of it, it's entirely believable that one of them would sell out to get ahead, and Seth doing it carries the most emotional impact. Especially since, thinking back on it, he was the one who kept them together the first time.

So, now that Shield is over, doesn't this mean that HHH can just go (finish) snap(ping) Daniel Bryan's neck in between his massive, tree trunk like quads and take the titles for himself? The whole Evolution v. Shield thing was because they were protecting Bryan.

Not really.

I don't wanna fantasy book, but it does make sense for Rollins to join the Authority if he's tired of saving the Shield constantly from breaking up and losing. Almost every Shield match, it is Rollins sacrificing himself for the team and maybe he's tired of that poo poo.

And if they go the selfish route, it does make sense to join forces with the Authority to get a push. Evolution had multiple world champs in that stable. What did the shield really obtain from being a unit? A tag team reign and a US title reign. Yeah, they were the most dominant stable in recent history, but the other stables who were as dominant (NWO, Evolution, DX, Corporation, Horsemen) all achieved greatness at a higher degree. Yes, the Shield were different from the other stables, but maybe Seth has been craving even more success.

Or maybe you're right where they wasted the Shield and they all fade away back to the indies.

I think Bryan vs H is advertised for a house show at the end of the month.

Nothing amazing happens here.
Everything is ordinary.

They really REALLY crammed poo poo in tonight. 9 matches, 23 (I'm counting cena's bit because it went on for loving ever) full ring promos. I know that post PPV shows are busy but Jesus.

The crowd were extra cynical tonight that I loved.

I hope "BO-RING" takes because I hate that fucker.

When Sin Cara came out and the crowd collectively went for a piss/played with their iPhones cracked me up. That was a textbook anti-pop, like it was such an anti-pop it detracted from the pop's the other wrestlers got.

It was pretty obvious that Big-E wasn't going to come out to gently caress with Rusev because you could see him doing a SUPERSTARS match in the background during the preshow. He was probably back in his hotel room eating Doritos and being and confused as we were. They're really seeing how much they can poke RL issues with the mention of Snowden, I fully expect a new wrestler to appear over the summer which a character based around the Palestinian/Israeli conflict.

Adam Rose needs to talk more. Because his wackyness actually breaks me out of the coma.

I wouldn't be surprised if Triple H turns his sights more directly on Bryan after Money in the Bank once this Kane feud is done. Unless they're doing Lesnar/Bryan at Summerslam he'll probably be fighting Orton, Triple H, or Batista once this is done, with maybe Cesaro and Rollins as the only two other good possibilities.

Maybe the Cena/Bryan rematch? But I doubt they're doing that anytime soon.
