Makes me wonder if we'll get The Fiend on RAW and Bray Wyatt on Smackdown as like...alter egos or something. That or Bray won't hold the Universal Title for long. Probably the latter.

[MrElijah]

So how was the show and results?

I liked absolution

[hashtagdaley/JudasDay]

So, I want to watch the main event... is it not
Up for streaming yet? Only the preshow and press conference are there.

I hope he holds it a while, I want that feud to end though.

Both champs on SD is interesting.

Roman is now the only member of The Shield not to lose to Bray Wyatt via sparks in the face.

He did lose to him via Harper in the face which I'd say counts.

This could be the future trade that HHH was hinting at but it's surprising because Fox wanted the Fiend on Smackdown. Having said that I can see this happening since Brock Lesnar isn't going back to Raw. So I think they'll switch The Fiend back to Raw in exchange for Rey Mysterio who appears to still be feuding with Brock.

As for Cain Velasquez some people were thinking that he would win the wwe title and go to Raw with it. Since that's where Rey Mysterio currently is.
But it was reported by cultaholic that he'll actually be competing in the tag team division after Crown Jewel. He said that he'd be doing that even if he won the wwe title.

I know. Where were the old farts trying to wrestle in a negative star classic? Hogan and Flair used surrogates. That’s no fun!

Due to a schedule change, I was home to watch Crown Jewel instead of waiting for the weekend. Crown Jewel was a decent show. The Kickoff Battle Royal was OK. Velasquez VS Lesnar sucked, which I expected. The Tag Team Turmoil was long, but good. Mansoor VS Cesaro was great and the best match on the show. Fury VS Strowman was horrible, which again I was expecting. The US Title match was the 2nd best match on the show. Natalya VS Evans was better than their previous matches but was cool for them to make history. The 10-Man Tag was fun. The main event was OK, but I can’t stand the red light. Also, I loved the announcement that Survivor Series is going to be tri-branded with NXT involved. I’m interested in seeing what that means and if wrestlers will be wrestling on both Takeover & Survivor Series back-to-back. Crown Jewel was a good way to spend a lazy Thursday home from work.

I did not watch wrestling in about a week as I had lively things to do.

Fury vs. Braun was great.

I have no idea why they did not let Cain do at least couple cool moves, before getting beaten. If they want to go full-on-Bork-destroys route, WWE should book Alistair Overeem too. They'll probably have a rubber matcho when Cain is more improved as a wrestler.

[Nr1Humanoid]

I liked seeing the young ladies and girls in the crowd with no headgear and even a tank top (granted the latter could not have been more than 5). A small thing but a nice surprise.

BTW, did anyone see the guy that went to bro hug a friend, only to pull back lightning fast when he found himself on camera?

Because when you’re spending someone else’s money on a show, the only “logical” answer is “F*** it, why not?!”

It's just that it's such common sense to run these shows with skeleton crews consisting of main eventers and uppercard talent, whatever broken down legends are in need of a massive pay day, Mansoor, and someone to job to Mansoor. But instead, they really need to subject Curt Hawkins to 30 hours of plane travel so he can be tossed out third in a battle royal to absolute silence.

When I first typed this, I had no idea that I'd be undershooting how much of a travel day they would have. Also, I forgot which match Hawkins was booked for, but they definitely need to have a 30 minute tag gauntlet I guess.

Greatest Royal Rumble was fairly entertaining.
