Zayn getting the jump on Strowman, Strowman wrecking shit prior, Swann and Neville's feud continuing, crazy Jericho again, and the tag title match. And Jack Gallagher. I really think this is a good show, and Reigns hasn't even competed yet. Only down things were the awful Charlotte/Bayley match and Golden Truth feuding with The Club over a teddy bear. And I will take The Club getting a win. Zayn attacked Strowman from behind and ran away, how is that a good thing? Made the dude look like a trash coward. They f***ed up the booking of this bad...
And "This is a good show" "and Reigns hasn't even competed yet" are two statements that do not fit together in my brain Zayn would not be the first face in the last however many years to pull off a hit-and-run on a monster heel, and Zayn doing it works well with this feud. Gets in Braun's head and gives Zayn an advantage next week. And I like Reigns so that's the highlight of my Mondays just like Wyatt is on Teusdays (or the ones I don't miss due to work).

You know, the "Prevented from interfering because he's in a Shark Cage" thing would work if they hadn't just used the gimmick in NXT, complete with interference from the guy in the cage. Yeah, yeah, yeah, small viewership and all that bullshit but WWE promoted and covered it all over their site and social media. It is f***ing laziness to sell a toy.

You know, with Cena bowing out a bit I thought we could get rid of the dumb "LETS GO ___, ___ SUCKS!" chants that completely bury the other dude in the match every time they wrestle.
Thanks for keeping it alive Roman...

Roman Reigns, the "Big Dog"... even though nobody calls him like that besides the commentary team. People call him that all the time. Just, in a very mocking tone.

So, odds of a title change here? Not like it's super uncommon booking for a guy to drop their midcard belt to move up to the world title. Seems set for a good number of run in and could move the title to Jericho for the Rollins stuff, eehhh, 67% chance.

I hate to be 'that' guy but I can't buy Owens actually standing a chance against the 6'3" jacked dude who almost made it to the NFL.

WWE are so incompetent it isn't even funny What do they gain by having Sami come out and attack Braun from behind and run away? He looks like a complete F***ing Cowardly Heel doing that shit, Braun was having a damn match, what the hell does that accomplish for anyone? Because it made Zayn look like straight trash This is a terrible RAW... I know we want baby faces that do the right thing but for Sami that was the smart thing. Send a message and if that don't work then get the hell outta dodge. Live to fight another day.

If Roman is so proud of being the US champion, how come he doesn't wear the title around his waist instead of almost dragging it behind his back?

You and I just have extremely different views, Zayn is an ultimate babyface, him just blindsiding Strowman during a match doesn't make him look good at all to me. And then running away after the fact, was just dumb to me.

It's stupid too how Steel Cage and Hell in a Cell matches, the things you'd use in feuds to keep people out, aren't good enough anymore. It used to be an awesome visual to see someone break open the cage or smash his way in to interfere, but now everyone does it.

I would prefer it if Roman dropped the title to someone on the up. Rather then the current champion.

That was the weakest "not like this" I've ever heard.

Yeah because the interference by Jericho or Owens has worked SO WELL for them in past Roman Reigns matches, this surely changes the game...

I can't believe that I don't really give a shit about Roman Reigns vs Kevin Owens. Their matches have just been background noise.

Hmm...KO winning the title and sharing it with Jericho, leading to a match where both titles are on the line could make for some good shenanigans. Then again, Braun taking the title from Roman, Sami taking it from Braun (with a bit of help from Roman, lets be somewhat realistic) and going on to be a fighting champ for a few months maybe mixed with KO need to take the title from Sami since he cannot get the Universal for some reason, could be fun. And then that could lead back to the big story of Owens vs. Zayn with the twist that now Zayn has something Owens wants so Owens has no choice but to continue the beef. Oooh, I want to see that now. Like Owens would ever ignore beef. Or chicken. Or ham...

This may be the last big push for Roman as the number one face in the company. They've invested so much and have gotten so very little in return.
It's very possible that this won't ever work
