Haha! Del Rio is still in the 2K17 commercial!
 
Roman Reigns stock has really gone down. I don't understand why WWE won't let him turn heal. It would really bring it up.

It's like getting Coca Cola to admit their new formula in the 1980s sucked.
 
I actually like his idea. Two badasses who hate each other forced to become a tag team.
 
I think the general quality of matches on Clash of Champions was better than Backlash for the most part but booking was odd either leading up to the match (in Reigns case) or in terms of how the result came about- the Cesaro Sheamus match and the Title match.

1. Tag Titles- New Day vs Gallows and Anderson- The one result that was definitely wrong in my view unless the New Day are heels now, which I'm sure they aren't. Gallows and Anderson NEEDED the win to stay legitimate and I think the New Day are probably overstaying their welcome as Champions now.

2. Cruiserweight Championship Match- It would have been a good match had I not seen the two utterly tear it apart for the past 2 months. The match lacked the general pop of their past matches for some reason and the two actually looked sloppy at times! Maybe the rumour that they may be restricted could actually be true!

3. Cesaro vs Sheamus- Match of the Night for me. I don't even have a problem with the result of the match. But the ending was a bit lame. What I mean is the match should have been called off-if it indeed had to be- after a big spot. For instance just make them punch each other on the top of the turnbuckle and fall to the floor and pass out.
Maybe they can make a tag team. That isn't the worst idea. Or of course they could continue.
Also, the suicide spin-dive attempt was scary.

EDIT: Just watched RAW... Called it, sort of.

4. Jericho/ Zayn was okay. And I don't mind the result or the ending for a change. It makes Jericho seem strong for a future clash with Owens.

5. Women's Championship match- It was great with a good ending, I guess. 2nd best match of the night easy, for me.

6. US Title- Good match... they have great chemistry together. But Reigns winning would not have been a bad result if Rusev had actually won at SummerSlam. Now what has happened is Reigns has beaten a legit beast of a US Champion twice in two matches and that irks me. There are times that your 50: 50 booking would actually make sense, WWE and this was it!

7. Universal Title- Okay match. A bit underwhelming with the absence of HHH. Eh. At least, KO won, huh?
 
So, the choke slam is no longer a finisher, huh?
 
Lame ending. Should have cut to black and white!
 
His trunks have wings! Is he getting to join The New Day?
 
Glad he did. Gulak stretching people will be fun to watch.

The 6 pack title match was much better then the triple threat, which was super sloppy. The IC title match was much better then the US title match. The WWE Championship match was better then the Universal Title match. The SD Tag Title match was also better, while being much better booked.
 
Sheamus and Cesaro could be real fun. I LOL'd hard seeing them having a walking contest!
 
Sorry guys, motorcycle issues have kept me from smarking on Raw tonight.
 
By the end of the year Sheamus will be teaming with the Yet-tay.

I liked the Triple Threat more. It began a little sloppy but picked up pace. Their false finishes kept me at the edge of my seat. Once Bliss got eliminated the match ended too quickly to actually build any anticipation.

The IC Title match was certainly better, yes. But apart from the booking, the US Title match was also very good. I have stated my problem about the entire thing.

The Tag Team matches were about the same, for me.

The Sheamus Cesaro match was better than the World title match and that's saying something coz that was AJ Styles in the ring there.

The Universal Title match was good- it just didn't have the punch a Triple H return would have had.

I reinterate, for me, wrestling wise, it was a great show. I think I did say after Backlash that the booking really pushed the PPV. It didn't really have an eyeboggling match. This one did.
 
Remember when Forbes magazine just focussed on news and business?
 
I have to be honest, I don't remember a woman wrestler who can cut a heel promo as well as Charlotte.
