Owens was bumping like crazy. Ember vs. Sasha vs. Ruby was solid. I feel that all 3 of them should be in the MITB match. I could have done without all the interference. Rollins vs. Mojo was probably Mojo's best singles match of his career. The booking is still what it is. Jinder Mahal vs. Roman Reigns huh. That's gonna put a lot of butts in the seats. It’d be like the League of Nations with woth 0 good workers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caley Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 So in three hours they never showed or really referred to the Women's champion once, right? Or did I miss something? Greatest dumbest part of the night was Zack Ryder asking Kurt Angle for a match to get into the MITB, Jinder interrupting and Angle telling him no using Ryder's catchphrase and Ryder going "That was awesome" and COMPLETELY forgetting that Angle never even answered him much less granting his request. I picture Ryder getting home tonight and going "Something I was supposed to do...oh God DAMMIT!" 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 So what were the dummies in the crowd doing during the women’s match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Watched this show live for once. I normally catch the abridged version on Hulu. Owens looked really good against Braun. Braun runs throw nearly everyone and Owens stood up to him and proved to be a challenge. Thought that was really good. Thought No Way Jose and Titus Worldwide vs Baron Corbin and the Revival was a fun random mid card trios. impartial to those. Women"s Three Way was really good. That was giving a lot of time and all 3 busted their asses. Good for them. Ember Moon deserves a push. Im rooting for her to walk out with the briefcase. Lashley is getting a World Title run this time around I think. Elias vs Roode was cool too. They had a really good match. I agree with Niners Fan that has to be Mojo's best singles match. Rollins is on fire as of late. Dude is in the zone right now. They got a hot act who is going out there and having and bringing the best out of everyone he is in the ring with. The Intercontinental Championship has a renewed importance I love it. Men's Three Way was good, really good for the most part (Reigns vs Mahal, really?). My favorite spot was the HUGE babyface reaction Zayn and Balor got double teaming in Reigns. Zayn and Balor got alot of time together having a mini match. I want to see the real deal now. The rest of the show was there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 So on the SD side there is plenty of stuff being built towards. What's happening on the RAW side? What's the long term goal here? Some sort of Braun/Lashley feud, whilst everyone else literally spins their wheels trading wins. Roman, Jinder, Roode, Elias, Owens, Zayn, Finn, Rollins. Meh. What's the plan for SummerSlam? I'm assuming Strowman beating Lesnar, Lashley cashing in, and some sort of fuckery from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Jinder, the guy who got cheered for interfering, is going to get fans to cheer Roman? I mean, I doubt it, but we'll see. There was one thing that started to stop all the Roman hate and that waa his run as US champ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peck Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I found that Renee/Lashley interview.... odd..? Like, she would ask him a question and he would just go on and on and on and on while she sat there awkwardly. I’m not sure where this is leading but that just felt way over-the-top and unnatural to me. Also, was it just me or was the crowd WAY more visible lighting-wise this week? Seemed like this led to more crowd shenanigans because people realized they could see themselves on camera more than just the usual first 4 rows or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I'm glad WOR picked up on what they're trying with Roman in that they're again going back to the well of making Roman look like a sympathetic underdog babyface who is held down by the machine because he isn't the favored son. WOR brought up how they're just copying the Daniel Bryan angle, but this all feels more like what was happening with CM Punk. In any event, this shit doesn't work. I wish I could ever understand their logic of having a big, brooding, whiny Samoan who gets multiple title opportunities and who even has the last match on PPVs even though it's not a title match is an underdog who WWE wants to hold down. Like, this shit isn't working. There isn't anything wrong with Roman's promo if it wasn't so transparently bullshit. His delivery was fine. Hell, even the content was fine, but the context and reality of the situation makes it look like garbage. I've been beaten down to the point where I just kinda accept that Roman is the guy, but I wish they'd just take a different approach to having him be the top guy. They don't even have to turn him heel. This guy should be winning the title at WM over Brock and not losing to him and losing badly. This guy shouldn't be getting punked out on Raw, save that for smaller guys. Instead he just looks like a dork and is saying stuff that a heel would say except they're never going to turn him heel. It's the weirdest booking I can ever think of. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus - if Alexa is truly hurt - I am guessing they just decided to not doing anything with Nia since they couldn't continue the program with Alexa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Coach is absolutely the worst. He never shuts up and he constantly tries to sound like an authority for what he's speaking on, but over the last couple months he doesn't sound any more educated to what's going on in WWE. It's frustrating to listen to. I wasn't the biggest fan of Booker T, but I would take him over Coach any day of the week. Hell, I'd take Saxton being a punching bag for Corey on both shows. I would even take Percy as the third man on Raw over Coach and Percy is...well...he tries hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSC Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I'm still confused ... so is Bo & Axel's new team name Stay Tuned? Because a gimmick based off the 1992 movie where they change gimmicks every week having just been zapped back from a different TV shows sounds pretty amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the weirdest booking I can ever think of. They want him as the "top guy' yet they won't just put the damn belt on him and let him have a title run for 6-7 months, so everything feels like a waste until they get there. We have RAW and PPVs booked around him but he's constantly failing at winning the title. We are coming up on 2 years since he was last world champ, which was right before they split brands.

Niners Fan in CT Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I hate fantasy booking but this is what I would like to see. I'd keep Rollins as the fighting I.C. champion for a while, he's massively over and there's no need to throw the Universal title on him just yet. So that leaves Braun. In theory, Braun should be the #1 contender for the Universal title as he just won the Greatest Royal Rumble. So put him against Brock @ SummerSlam and put the belt on him already. While this is going on continue to have him and Lashley as a tag team. Then after Lashley can turn on Braun because Lashley to me needs to be a heel. Have Lashley bring in his MMA crew and run that as his character, I didn't see much of Impact but I liked that look and Dan Lambert was good in his role it seemed. Braun vs. Lashley @ Royal Rumble. Then they can build towards Braun vs. Roman @ WrestleMania and finally turn Roman. Put the belt on him and have Braun chase him post-WrestleMania. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
