The Natural Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Liked Alexa Bliss bringing back her Iron Man outfit. Speaking of bringing back, this the first time Braun Strowman's used the arm triangle choke again? I always preferred it to be his finisher when he was trying out different ones. Keep that with the running powerslam as his main finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 7 minutes ago, Brian Fowler said: To be fair, they merged the women's title and divas title when they consolidated belts as the original brand split weakened, so it's probably fair to give the RAW women's title both lineages. True. I'd say with Charlotte being on SDL that title will still be considered at or sometimes above RAW level. Like how the Universal title is new but with Brock Lesnar holding it and Braun/Reigns being the contenders you can see how its recognized at the very least as important as the WWE Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been really surprised/impressed at how Matt has kept up with Sheamus and Cesaro in these matches. He's taken some pretty big bumps, too, given how broken down he's seemed the last few years. Senor Benjamin probably has to cart him around in a wheelbarrow afterwards. I see what you did there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 If that one room in the HoH is any indication, Bray Wyatt has no idea how to keep his Funko Pop! collection mint. Keep 'em in the box, dude! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then, I'll keep avoiding current product and watching Mid-South/NWA on the network I have. Also, dear WWE, corn syrup blood is worse than no blood. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 May I just note as a member of the Seth Rollins is awful round circle, he was pretty good yesterday. No real WTF leg sell moments. It was Joes match, but Rollins didn't ruin it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Even though know that technically a few heels had some wins last night, I still feel that the card was nearly a babyface sweep except for Alexa beating Bayley, Seth beating Joe, and fucking Enzo being victorious along with Big Cass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bray also won and despite your (and my own hatred) of Orton - Orton was the face (and that is counting Braun as a face even though he isnt) so that means 4 of the 8 matches where won by heels so that isn't remotely close to a sweep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 By my skewed count of "heels" vs "faces" it's five out of eight (Jericho, Hardyz, Aries, Bray, Braun) unless you're counting Angry Neville as a "face." Still better than 50%. The ratio of people I wanted to win or didn't mind winning vs. the people I wanted desperately to lose also played into my favor.

Jamal Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I remember Bayley and Bliss having decent chemistry in NXT so it's no surprise that this was Alexa's best showing since joining the main roster. Kudos to her for making history and finally shaking up the stale Raw women's division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less chance of a guy being injured when compared to an impact finisher like the one he's using now where you're taking neck bumps.. Then again, Jinder would still get the opportunity to hurt someone while setting up for the finisher or while using the finisher out of the need for "having the move look real."

The Natural Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I thought Chris Jericho would retain the WWE United States Championship at WrestleMania XXXIII and drop it to Kevin Owens at this show. Shame KO's already lost it with his red white and blue ring gear and The New Face of America entrance graphics on this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Joe/Rollins was the kind of match you could use to practice commentary with: simple story told well by guys who can go. Reigns/Strowman was the kind of match you mistake for a bear attack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 No need to switch it that quick. The tour starts 5/18 (In Patchouge? Is that where he's from?) Anyway, that's the Thursday after Backlash, where I'm positive he drops it to AJ (or Owens). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
