So, I wonder if Cody has been on the phone with Turner execs about that second show yet. Outside of playoff/tourney weeks, I don’t think TBS has anything locking up Friday nights.

We knew Kofi would lose but how he lost was horrible. Sacrificing him for Lesnar and Cain. With that said, Kofi losing this way does not, I can't stress this enough, take away from his memorable run thus far. Don't let anyone tell you that no matter how angry they are. People thought he'd never be a main eventer, people thought he'd never wrestle for the title at WM, people thought he'd never be WWE Champion, people thought he wouldn't hold the belt for over a month let alone 6, people thought he wouldn't beat all he's beaten but he did it. At the end of the day, that man did that damn thing. What a memorable run. Screw the loss but to say "screw that run" is outta pocket. f*** that. Yea like i'm not happy with how he lost but he was losing let's not get it twisted To say his run is ruined because of that L is completely wrong. He got smoked, it is what it is but he had a long and respectful reign It gives it a so-what feeling though. Kofi won and we're still right back to where we were trapped in at Mania when he won in the first place. His reign wasn't exactly good either. It was long, but so much of it was bogged down with Ziggler and Orton

Haven’t seen it, f*** you Dish, but reading it was interesting and gives Kofi a new mountain to climb, a new chapter for him and New Day to write. I get the anger but sometimes crazy can be fun. Back to winning tag titles? They've already moved onto the next feud for Brock.

Legit if I was Kofi I would have protested how that went, or threatened to walk out. Because that was some of the biggest bullshit I've seen in wrestling in... a long time, and there's been some bullshit even this year that pissed people off (Taven beating Scrull)
This was bad, like, I see this burning a lot of long time fans bad. Legit competition just sprang up and on a show where you promised change you just killed a dude you build up for months as a peoples champion for more Brock and CAIN VELASQUEZ immediately in the title picture Like as a wrestling fan, I am disgusted, and I know I'm not alone... this is just the last thing anyone needed to see happen, and it happened. Are you serious? Kofi knew what it was and yet he still did it because he's come this far. Why would Kofi walk out due to losing to Lesnar easily if he accomplished his dreams this year? Do you know all he had to do to reach this long reign? Those wins, this entire thing? He's had far worse happen to him, he's been grinding for far longer and he's done so much...just to walk out because of a loss to Lesnar easily?
That's completely against Kofi's entire story. This doesn't make any sense. There's no way he'd do that.
It's just beyond frustrating to see it for that reason man, to see him come so far and lose like THAT feels like the journey was for nothing just for WWE to go right back to all of THAT It just sucks, I need a bit to digest this, even if I can.

Problem is there is literally nothing crazy about "Brock Lesnar storms in, stomps on someone, goes over". That's literally just the status quo of the past five years. Like I know some people dig that, but it is in all ways the same old shit that's worn down and pushed away people for years.

Kofi's reign was a fever dream. Cain Velasquez is a 2-time WWE Champion and lost it in a Dana White on a pole match last Summerslam

I’m not happy that Kingston lost so quickly... But at the same time, I don’t think that completely invalidates him as a talent or his championship reign.

Thing is Brock vs Cain doesn't need the title. They could have Cain cost Brock to set up the fued.

Not really. One loss doesn't overcome an entire reign. People keep looking at finishes rather than what happened before finishes, even matches for example. People only care about who won rather than if the match itself was dope and Kofi's entire reign feels that way.
Yeah it sucks but 1 loss against "World Killer Brock Lesnar" shouldn't be enough for us to discount everything Kofi's done. That's disrespecting all he did to get to that point. It's a mark against his reign but shit, the reign stands for itself as does he.

They didn't even mention Kofi's name for the last 7 minutes of the broadcast, he straight up vanished off TV. they aren't going to forget about him. They'll be a redemption story arc.

Also, since I predicted Kofi getting squashed I'll make the same prediction that I've been making before the Lesnar match for him.
Kofi's getting drafted to Raw and he'll be a main eventer/utility main eventer there. Seth's obviously getting drafted and they need major faces. Here comes Kofi. He needs to be Universal Champion to win that title so yeah. Makes complete sense.

Back to winning tag titles? They've already moved onto the next feud for Brock. But they haven’t set anything for any of New Day. Maybe this is the start of moving Big E up the ladder to avenge Kofi or Xavier doing something. I’m just saying that the world is not ending because Kofi lost. I mean shit, next week they’re moving up and locking down the rosters so we have no clue what is going to happen.

He lost in three seconds. It kinda hurts how you built up a dude just to feed him to Brock. Sorry man that's just me, it taints things to an extent for me.

If history taught us anything, Kofi is back to where he was before this year.
And they wonder why AEW has buzz.

Thing is Brock vs Cain doesn't need the title. They could have Cain cost Brock to set up the fued. that's true. But maybe they are building to Cain costing Brock at Crown Jewel? or somewhere else down the line? They neeed layers to a eventual clash (mania I suppose) not just one appearance.

It really does, though. His entire mantra was "fighting champion" who will stand up for anything and keep going. They could have booked it like Ziggler/Del Rio or some shit where he just keeps getting up until Brock finally downs him. He'd still have been a fighting champion that way, but he wasn't. He lost in 3 seconds, then they genuinely didn't mention him one time in the remaining 5 minutes of the show. He was nothing.

I'm not exactly surprised.
Wish it had been a better reign though. Sadly, he's probably never touching a top belt again. But I'm not even sure if that's a bad thing right now if the boring Ziggler and Orton matches were anything to go by. On the bright side, he's still got that Mania match with Bryan to be proud of.

Right now, it's a blank slate, with endless possibilities and intrigue WWE's a scorched earth of burnt bridges... it's amazing that anyone still crosses them.
