Just realized that creative is probably going to keep Ambrose/Reigns together to give Reigns some of Ambrose's pops. They're probably thinking that if since Ambrose is popular, it'll rub off on Reigns. Dammit. There's nothing really wrong with that imo. Imo any two members of the Shield who are of the same alignment should always be together or at least loosely affiliated. It allows them to let Reigns simmer for a bit, and maybe "Make Roman Look Really Strong" will rub off on Ambrose. Now if only the Reigns/Ambrose team had some decent non-Authority foils to work with. I honestly wouldn't mind giving Reigns and Ambrose the tag belts and letting them have a good run if WWE only elevated a few teams for them to have decent programs with.

Yeah, makes total sense for the guy challenging for the WWE title to take the pin. I guess at least Ambrose finally has a win over Rollins to his name, even if he still didn't actually get the pin.

At least it doesn't end with the Authority standing tall yet again.

Jesus,
BNB can't even survive a week without losing in a non-title match.
What the f*** is so hard about keeping a champion strong while building up contenders fighting each other for a title shot. Beating the champion is just so damn lazy. This match probably came complete with "You know, a win over Barrett tonight would put Sin Cara right in line for a Intercontinental Championship opportunity" stock line from Cole.

* Sin Cara defeated Bad News Barrett clean in a non-title match. Barrett hit him with the Bullhammer after the match. THE IC TITLE IS BACK, BABY!!!!!!

Nobody comes out for Reigns at first but finally the music of Dean Ambrose hits and out he comes. Further proof the Intercontinental Championship has a pirate curse. "Y'arr, cursed is he who bears the hide of white." Considering it was brought back by Dr. Doom-era Cody Rhodes, I wouldn't be shocked if HE cursed the thing.

I think it would be best if they went for the tag belts as well, just depends when. We could be seeing something similar to Two Dudes with Attitudes if they get the belts before either of them touch the WWE Title. If not, they might save their tag title win for whenever Ambrose turns heel so we have a mixed alignment team win the belts. It would be interesting seeing a face Reigns and heel Ambrose have the belts. Some funny stuff in there.

I can understand the IC Champion losing to someone like Reigns, Rollins, Ambrose or even a middle of the road guy like Swagger or Miz, but Sin Cara? Really?

Reigns can't lose.
You know, part of the thrill of wrestling is allowing guys to look vulnerable every so often, especially losing a match or two.
But nevermind that, let's pin the number one contender in a match that under different circumstances should be a big deal, but instead it's a giveaway match on SMACKDOWN.

Eh the main event finish doesn't especially shock me. That said, Barrett coming back and looking like the Authority's IC golden boy after Monday night....and he loses non title to Sin Cara? That's just mind boggling booking.

The MITB holder almost always goes on a jobbing streak right before he cashes in. I'm guessing Rollins is just getting his pre-title win jobbing done. Just realized that creative is probably going to keep Ambrose/Reigns together to give Reigns some of Ambrose's pops. They're probably thinking that if since Ambrose is popular, it'll rub off on Reigns. Dammit. There's nothing really wrong with that imo.

I honestly wouldn't mind giving Reigns and Ambrose the tag belts and letting them have a good run if WWE only elevated a few teams for them to have decent programs with. I fully expect that they'll be squashing The Ascension on Monday.

Thank god they've A) Not forgotten that Ambrose and Reigns should still be tight as brothers, and B) Gotten Ambrose away from Wyatt and put him back in proximity of Seth Rollins.

What the f*** is the point of Sun Cara of all people beating Barrett? To put over NXT talent? (On the serious, this better lead to a bumping of the Sin Cara as '60s Spiderman thread)
