I am the sexiest poster in the world!
Certainly people who needed MitB more and who you could tell interesting stories with, but it's not a bad thing to have the big monster dude win it for once, hopefully he just keeps stopping the show and demanding a match vs. Lesnar until he gets one. A solid guy and a good situation with Brock being part-time where just cashing in for a regular match makes sense.

Blessed be the forgers of iron
And the spikes and the barbwire

It took a quarry to bury the dreams
So, two good matches (with three good endings) off an otherwise lovely card

So Kevin Owens was absolutely in the right and everybody should have teamed up to take out BRAUN before the match started.

Yup. He left on a stretcher too.

Kofi and Miz dont really need elevation since they have other poo poo to have, and Roode sucks anyways. Ruru was the only real loss here.

This helps because now Braun gets the belt off Bork and Raw actually has a loving main champion. Even WWE cant gently caress that up.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
I don't understand the position that Braun didn't need this; for all his dominant booking he's won precisely dick apart from a one day joke tag title reign.

That wasn't a bad show but it was too long, and it sucks that this is the format going forward. The extra length meant extra time for matches which in theory is good, but stuff like Asuka/Carmella, Roman/Jinder and Bryan/Cass really did NOT need to be more than a few minutes at most.

Not to mention how front-loaded the PPV was with commercials

Sadly, Brains didn’t qualify for MitB this year. He probably could have stopped his brother though

The golden rule should be "Anybody who thinks WWE is gonna gently caress something up is ultimately right, even if they get minor parts like the exact timing of it wrong" because really it's got a streak longer than Asuka's and Goldberg's combined, plus Brock's reign, going right now

it's funny you say it was too long because my wife was working and i put my kids to bed and i was just shocked that i was still able to watch so much of the ppv, so yeah it was pretty long, but that will be norm now

Alexa and Braun winning MITB was fine for me, I think the way Alexa cashed in was good and Braun still being unstoppable is also good

But goddamn, were all the singles matches bad!

I don't think anyone's actually hating on Braun winning. I love Braun. It's just he's always a badass, they could book him to wrestle Lesnar tmw on RAW and win the title and I'd believe it.

kofi wins, he gets a really cool fun cash in for the belt doesn't have to keep it long at all, then he gets to retire and you can run big E solo or still do the tag team, hell keep kofi away then bring him in as their manager, kind of what i thought would be cool
