So, I learned something. I was posting and watching both from my laptop, because I just couldn't get WWE Network to work on my TV like usual. I enjoyed myself immensely more when I was just watching instead of watching and trying to follow the thread.

So... Yeah, I'm not going to miss being in the thread when I'm at Hell In The Cell next month.

Have fun at the PPV!

I meant the match tonight. Some people didn't want Hunter involved with Owens win in the first place. I'm not one of them but considering his friendship with Jericho having an assist from him and winning off the ref being out works out. Just because Hunter was there on Raw doesn't meant he needs to be out there every step of the way. Owens can get his own wins or have his ally help him in the meantime. This likely isn't it with his feud with Seth.

and I'm talking about tonight as well.

the story isn't moving forward until HHH shows up so the logical progression point is for him to come out during the big PPV match.

The story doesn't need HHH to be out there in every single main event to move forward. Only real thing that needs to happen is Owens to keep the belt through devious means for long enough for the crowd to get behind Seth and then let him get the big win. That would be the time for Hunter to come in if not on Raw beforehand.

3 things that piss me off after reading the results:

Okay.

New Day retains. Why?

Because The Club are atrocious.

Cesaro/Sheamus Best of 7 finale ends in draw. WHY?!

Because Cesaro damn near killed himself when he fell on his head.

Jericho beats Sami. WHY?!!!?!!!!!?!?!

Yeah... I got nothing on that one.

and the New Day are spinning their wheels and needed to drop the title months ago, and the club were awesome in this match and generally good when they don't try to make them complete cornballs like the New Day.

Because Cesaro damn near killed himself when he fell on his head.

I don't think that has anything to do with it. They could have ended it about 50 times after that.

the match went on for a while after the suicide dive, if they were worried about teh suicide dive they would have ended it there and then.

Alvarez said Rollins might have legit injured his ribs and the doctors are back there waiting to check him out.

[Deleted]

Safely back home.

Frankly, this was a D+ show. There were matches but nothing spectacular or memorable. Roman winning soured the whole experience for me.

But I can't wait for SmackDown.

Yeah, he was definitely a bit off going down the home stretch. Wouldn't be surprised if he was hurt.

In that case, Raw is screwed terribly.

So, did anyone else see that fan get totally taken out during the finish of the Cesaro/Sheamus match, and how the announcers and WWE officials in the crowd totally ignored him? He didn't seem like a plant at all, but he got nailed by Sheamus' knee and just laid on the ground struggling to get up.

[TheMediocreWarrior]

I'm watching the replay (I saw the main event, but missed the rest).

Things were going so well until I got to the end of Cesaro/Sheamus. I was thinking, "maybe I was wrong about predicting iffy booking". Well, ending a great match like that is a bad sign.

[Deleted]

Out of 8 matches only 3 ended cleanly. That's f***ing horrible.

That's WCW in 99-2000 levels right there.

I thought it was a solid show. The CW match and Sami/Jericho were pretty bland but the rest of the show was fun for the most part.

No joke....Reigns is starting to get me back. I liked that match.

[Richard]

On Wwe's facebook page they have video where Tom Phillips tried to get an interview with Steph about the end of the PPV. She congratulated KO, complimented Tom on his hair cut and then was greeted by and left with Hunter so there is the hook for RAW.

[Psy]

A little detail of the match between Nia Jax & Alicia Fox that I forgot to mention before, but I just remembered. When Nia had Alicia in that half-nelson/choke whatever it was, Alicia did not do one of the things that drives me nuts. She didn't constantly try to move the hair out of her face, as if that was more important than escaping the hold. Doing that is one of the things that takes away from a match in my eyes, and Alicia steered clear of it. Nice.

Totally was a plant, he slowly sold the hit, then covered his face
