Looks like a good card, only match I don't really care about is Rhea vs Raquel (unless Rhea is booked strong and wins in almost a squash).

 

[Cleavy]

maybe a MITB cash in...?

Hearing Rumors that Nakmaura will become the World Champion

Seth Borings finally dropping the title ? Hell yes!

Hearing Rumors that Nakmaura will become the World Champion

Would rather Priest

[Ry009]

Tag Title match is a lot of fun.

 

[Jack Richards]

Becky vs Trish was a great opener.

LA Knight v Miz... boring at Bat poo

 

[Jack Richards]

That tag outcome... makes me not want to watch anymore.

 

[Ry009]

Wowee. They put them on them.

Good decision though. Judgement Day finally gets a meaningful win. Can't see Priest cashing winning and tonight though.

Hopefully Owens and Sami can go on to singles stuff. Tag stuff has run its course.

 

[Ry009]

That tag outcome... makes me not want to watch anymore.

Sami and KO were getting wasted. They can both go back to having meaningful singles matches now.

 

[Ry009]

Oh geez Jey again, FMD.

What a wasteful use of Cody and Grayson.

 

[Ry009]

Oooh Muta there. Shinsuke might actually be going over.

 

[nobbyiscool]

This is incredible

 

[Ry009]

Poor Shinsuke. Deserved more from WWE.

 

[Cleavy]

Poor Shinsuke. Deserved more from WWE.

His peak was NXT.

Probably break them up again soon.

Would rather Priest

Could Cash In

Poor Shinsuke. Deserved more from WWE.

Why does he stay in WWE who pretty much seem him as Jobber to Midcard at best?

money, and laid-back life/schedule

 

[Nicho50]

Why does he stay in WWE who pretty much seem him as Jobber to Midcard at best?

Would he be anything else somewhere else though? Maybe New Japan or Impact but AEW he would still be in the same spot.

 

[Jack Richards]

Poor Shinsuke. Deserved more from WWE.

Yep.

Should have won it. Now back mid card mediocre matches

 

[Cleavy]

Yep.

Should have won it. Now back mid card mediocre matches

I think they're leading to a rematch at the next PPV. Their match today did nothing for me.

Thoughts on Rollins run? Matches have been ok but been hard to get invested in them.

Today was definitely meh.
