Vgmastr Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 So was that the least creative thing they could have done to determine a new champ? It's exactly what they did a month ago except in reverse. Last month: two fatal four ways to determine a one on one final. This month: four one on one matches to determine a fatal four way final. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have done a Reverse Battle Royal leading to a King of the Mountain match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Yeah. Jericho should help Owens win. Rollins can bitch and moan, Reigns can go back after Rusev, Cass can go back to tags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Tonight's crowd disappointed me. I was fully expecting them singing Glorious or Nakamura's theme during that awful Titus O'Neill, Backlund, Darren Young mess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they got through this without dumbly, accidentally breaking up Jericho/KO which is basically the only thing I want to see apart from Bayley now.

Niners Fan in CT Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 What a difference a month makes. RAW is starting to spiral into the same old shit territory pretty quickly. Injuries happen and that's an issue but the booking is starting to fall back into old habits. I think we'll be spared a Reigns title run. Maybe Rusev gets some revenge and costs him next week.

piranesi Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 The one bit of booking that continues to work: LANA WEDDING DRESS WATCH: Spoiler Tonight: 40% more Dress than Summerslam BUT 15% less Dress than last Monday night. Overall trends are in the right direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammo~! Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I love Jericho but at this point he's beyond needing a title. If he cheats to help Owens win you can keep JeriKO together for a while before Jericho gets jealous and murdered by Owens down the line, and have KO go through Sami and maybe Cesaro in the mean time before Finn gets healthy again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Jericho doesn't need the title no but I'm trying to think of who would be the most entertaining in the role right now. Owens works. Reigns and Rollins need some changes before I want to see them carry it again. Cass is definitely not ready. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 The direction for the Universal belt felt lazy. I know it won't happen, but I really hope Owens gets the win. I never want see Rollins with a singles belt again. Reigns shouldn't win the big belt again for at least a year. And its way too early for Cass. I wish Sami had won against Rollins. I feel sorry for Smackdown, but Bayley vs. Charlotte is so damn natural a feud and one of the better feuds they did for women in NXT. Where the hell was Nia Jax? I need her destroying more jobbers like Strowman. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Is there any chance we get a surprise next week and KO wins the title? I'm dreading another heel Rollins reign or another Roman reign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 If you notice, Nia and Strangler have been trading off weeks of jobber-crushing. With Bayley on the show now she'll at least be built up properly to go after her when they want to pull the trigger on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NintendoLogic Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Of the four, Reigns is probably the best (or at least the least bad) option. Raw has more strong heel challengers than babyface ones, and Cass is obviously nowhere near ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Raw's overall roster has depth, but their main event is lacking. Balor is hurt and Lesnar is part-time. It's Rollins and Reigns. KO and Rusev need more build-up after being in mid-card for a while, Zayn clearly isn't being considered. Jericho will likely be gone soon, and they barely know Neville exists. Big Cass isn't close to ready. If they have Reigns continue slapping fools while cussing them out, I say go for it. Roman can be better for building up other guys than Seth. If they allow Reigns to lean more into what he was doing at the end of the Jericho match tonight, they have more options with him as champ. We're probably getting Rollins as Universal chanp. And we'll all be sorry. Lana is so going to pull Rusev's man card on TV soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bink_winkleman Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Going to Raw next week. Went from super excited after SS to sort of dreading having to witness a Reigns championship. I'd like to see Owens get it, but I don't see them putting it on a heel who isn't Rollins. So it's Reigns or Rollins, with the two of them main eventing everything for months. Ugh. Would have loved for Jericho to have gone over tonight. Don't care what he "needs," that would have just been fun. Otherwise, though, show was pretty good. Down with the Bayley call-up, New Day was on fire, and at least Slater got some chants in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 SD! is going to continue to be the better show for right now because if AJ goes on a title run that will be infinitely more interesting than another Rollins/Reigns run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If James Ellsworth didn't already exist, Johnny Knockout would get my vote for best jobber so far. Loved the crowd shouting DELETE when Bubba mentioned The Hardys. No Heath this week! And we never found out what repercussions Brock is going to get from Steph. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 We have a possibility for interference from Rusev, Jericho, Enzo, and even (though I highly doubt it) Zayn here. Surely at least half of them play some part. It was funny how everyone who wanted a title shot came out except for Neville. Poor afterthought of a wrestler. Does anyone care if the Dudleys actually retired or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
