Dolfan in NYC Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 My guess is they did not want the crowd chanting Becky during the beatdown. Oh well. And I'm still too sad to talk about Aiden turning on Rusev. But hey, at least we'll get to see what a true babyface Rusev looks like. So that's a good thing.

RIShane Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 You know how you can tell Becky is the heel? She comes out on top in every segment. Also, that AJ/Almas match was awesome, with a truly excellent finishing sequence. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Aiden English is fucked without Rusev. After the Rusev feud, I wouldn't be surprised if he's working nxt dates again, like Tyler Breeze. I really enjoyed AJ/Almas and was surprised at the clean finish. Joe deserves a title run. He's been so good since moving to SD. A world title feud between Joe, AJ, and Bryan would fill my indy heart with such joy. Justified-heel Becky is awesome. I'm loving her feud with Charlotte. Bryan not being made to look like an idiot is always a plus. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Green Meanie Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I called Aiden's heel turn during the backstage segment. I'm guessing the reasoning is going to be he felt under-appreciated. Let's see how this plays out. Becky is still the top face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave it to WWE to not pull the trigger on an act that got over organically. It still surprises me they actually did pull the trigger on Heath Slater and Rhyno.

Eivion Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Kofi's comment on Big E's Aussie accent and the subsequent reaction from Big E & Xavier was wonderful. Aiden turning felt like a matter of time with how things have been building the last 2 months. AJ/Almas was so good. It was nice seeing Bryan come out on top in the opening segment. Hopefully he does at SSD as well. Dug the last segment with Becky and Charlotte. Becky has been great as a heel, but it still annoys me to see her pushed as one when its obvious the crowd won't accept it.I'm pleased that this got the main event slot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 With the recent Rusev Day tags being real solid, it was the first time I had cared about Aiden and thought he was impressing in the ring. So of course they split and he'll go right back to where he was before. Loved the Styles/Almas finish. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overly Critical Man Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Stone Cold Becky Lynch, most badass face in the universe easily brushes off the cheapshot from sore loser Charlotte Flair -who won’t even raise Becky’s hand or put the title she cleanly won fair and square around her waist - and still wins the fight. It’s great that little girls have such an amazing hero to look up to. 7 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Fell asleep right as Rusev/Nak started (some wrestling fan I am) but Cesaro and Kofi had their typical fine match. No double stomp into Kofi's compressable chest, but hey. Aiden is so boned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 You gotta love it. Rusev gets a silly little thing more over than you'd ever expect. They toss an utterly heatless English with him, and, shockingly, it takes the fuck off. They become the most over act in the undercard. WWE refuses to ever elevate them for months, refuses to actually turn them face despite their screaming popularity and soaring merchandise sales, and at times leaves them off tv for weeks at a time. They throw Rusev a token title shot at a B-show, then drop him right back to the undercard. Then, despite getting no real milage out of the wildly over duo, they run a slow ass break up angle, pretend to put it on hold, and then rush it right back. I mean, eventually there was probably some story to get out of splitting them. By why not pull the trigger on them first? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyLaw Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 At least Rusev is turning face and English heel. I’m a little surprised they didn’t try to do the opposite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumanChessgame Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 When Aiden first attacked Russev there was a second when I thought Lana was going to side with him. Given what a boneheaded booking decision that would be, I'm surprised it didn't happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
