Strowman will probably cash in only to get beat by Reigns.

Strowman will probably cash in only to get beat by Reigns.

Wouldn't put it past them.

This will start Roman's 1,000 Year reign in which he will lose to: Roman Reigns Cyborg Clone and then the title will pass to all different versions of Roman Reigns for the next 1 billion years.

 

[Dr. Evil]

The part of Raw I did like was the appearance out of nowhere by Nikki Cross. It fits into her character.

orton shootin from the hip

 

[NDX]

Any NY fans go to MLW's Battle Riot last week? **** was a lotta fun.

I'm gonna see if I can go to Evolution.

Man, Raw is dull as hell these days.

 

[Broseph44]

Heel Orton is the best Orton.

If only they allowed a few more guys to shoot from the hip. Their product would be way better than the dry ish we are getting now.

Amen to that

And yet is still boring, still sucks.

 

[javonstokess]

Dammit...I really don't want to see SummerSlam with Part Infinity of Brock/Roman, but we're actually getting Styles/Joe!!


Damn you, WWE...damn you to hell!!!

 

[DOBSON10]

Oh if i could only believe in that.

Which brings me to the Briefcase...the fact that its the price in the strowman vs owens match...is just dumb.
Not only that, but the whole thing is stupid as hell.
Can he cash it in if Brock does show up once? Or is this not allowed now until after Summerslam?

The whole giving Strowman the briefcase and what came out of it...is wwe idiot sandwich writing at its finest.
You give the briefcase to someone who is clearly above the briefcase, to a brand that has a champion that barely shows up...destroying the surprise aspect of it...and now you have this match that pretty much tells us that he wont cash in until the SS match is over.

Its just a god damn mess.

Well, if I'm being honest, I don't really care enough about any of it to really worry haha... I didn't know Stroman had a match with Owens for the Briefcase at SS, I just watched the highlights from Raw today on Youtube, didn't watch last night, missed that match being set up.

All sounds like a Roman/Braun feud is coming up whenever they finally pull the belt from Brock. Probably have Braun beat Owens, keep the Briefcase in a battle of a match, so when Bruan interrupts the Brock/Roman match the announcers can play up how amazing a feet it is to have a long match with Owens and still cash in on the two power houses. Then drag this whole thing out until the Main Event of Mania where they can play up Roman finally taking down the "Monster" that took down the "Beast". Sounds like something Vince would dream up.

Much better episode of Smackdown over last night’s RAW.

Smackdown has been better than Raw for a minute! Raw is so freaking dry because it's predictable. Everyone I know that watches wrestling already knows that it will be a triple threat match between Lashley, Reigns and Lesnar next. Everyone. That is not a good thing.

No doubt SmackDown the better show over RAW so far for 2018.

I like the Raw roster infinitely better but it's been obvious for awhile now that Smackdown has better writers/bookers and agents. Raw's writing has been downright awful since I picked up watching WWE back around the Rumble. Smackdown's writing isn't anything special either to be honest, but compared to Raw it's brilliant.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

SD has had a few blips, but since the new brand split, it has been quite a lot better imo.

Yeah it’s not perfect not saying it is. Just saying it’s the better show of the two main roster brands.

It's been better since Jinder Mahal moved to Raw.

At SummerSlam? How would we get there after Lashley did a clean job to Roman on RAW last night in a #1 contenders match?

 

[Dr. Evil]

I am enjoying Heel Orton.

 

[DOBSON10]

At SummerSlam? How would we get there after Lashley did a clean job to Roman on RAW last night in a #1 contenders match?

Because he beat Roman clean at Extreme Rules, they've added people to Multi-man matches during semi-long losing streaks, the 1 to 1 tie is more than enough for them to do it, even if it does seem illogical.

 

[DOBSON10]

Speaking of which, what is it about Vince hating tag team wrestling but seemingly LOVING multi-man matches? I know it's not the same thing but... doesn't make much sense either.

I think it may honestly be more a case where, as the B show, Vince McMahon is generally less involved, and thus it tends to work better... Until he gets involved again.

 

[Doug_Moore]

Brock Lesnar isn't allowed to have new opponents.

*SIGH*

 

[vantheman77]

Impact's tapings post-Slammiversary is showing an interesting direction in terms of where its talent are heading.

The "historic announcement" has me laughing since GLOW, WOW, Impact, SHIMMER, and RISE did it first. If they bring back the WWE Women's tag team titles, it's not considered new because they had those back in 1987-88 with the Jumping Bomb Angels and the Glamour Girls.

AJ Styles and Samoa Joe will battle for the WWE title at SummerSlam while Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns will fight for the Universal title. Since Vince McMahon still runs the show, he will have SummerSlam end with Brock and Roman than AJ and Joe.
