It's pretty clear they're setting up someone to dethrone Reigns that ain't Edge of Bryan. Someone else needs that more than those 2 dudes. Which could've come another time. It was a triple threat, you could've protected him. Keeping the title on him is f***ing stupid. You mean you want Reigns to lose the title to then win it back and then lose to someone else new? He's gotta be dethroned by someone new while being a champion.

Big E better be the one to dethrone Reigns. Why make this even worse?

It's weird to me because while I agree it's weird they'd end Night 2 on a note that doesn't send the first live fans in over a year home happy, some of the matches tonight being "The heel wins! MISERY" is debatable The Women's Tag was all heel so I guess Nia/Shayna retaining was the worse of two evils? Orton was kind of portrayed as the face in his match by booking and he won I f***ing hate Matt Riddle so Sheamus winning was a face win for me And Rhea's not a heel, at most she's a bullheaded tweener? Unless she leans into it as champ after the fact she won her match clean as a sheet.

This is part of the reason why I don’t watch regularly any more. The happy, fun moments are so rare and you just get hit with heat all the time. Drew McIntyre is ready for the title win he never got in front of fans and he loses. Edge and Bryan cut passionate promos about this being their moment and time, and they both lose.
WWE needs more genuinely happy moments and endings. Bianca winning last night was the kind of thing it feels like we hardly ever see. Give us something to be excited about.
If they booked Hogan and Andre the way they book now, Andre may very well have won.

Led by heel world and tag champs. The elite stuff is rough... and there’s tons of questionable bookings. Hope you enjoy heel stables we have eight! I thought we weren't supposed to talk AEW on the WWE Board? Any time I bring it up for comparisons I get yelled at

There is a little upstart company called AEW. I highly recommend it. Led by heel world and tag champs. But has a good track record when it comes to having their faces actually triumph (i.e. Best Friends vs. Miro & Kip Sabian, Hangman Page vs. Matt Hardy, Jon Moxley vs. Chris Jericho, etc.). The bad guys do stand tall quite a bit, but not at this weird rate that WWE seems to enjoy.

Any time I bring it up for comparisons I get yelled at We already had a "Stop watching WWE and watch AEW instead" comment so yeah, this thread is already derailing.

I don't know how else to describe it but miserable. Game of f***ing Thrones let the heroes have more hope over 9 months of storyline.

Apollo winning to me was a way to get the belt off Big E and start building him to the main event. I know a lot of people aren't fans of Apollo's gimmick but how I see things I think the plan on the Smackdown side is Cesaro goes for the IC belt and WWE goes into long term booking of Big E vs Roman.
I dont get the impression Riddle is moving up the card, but I think Sheamus won as a thank you for the great work with the plan being to put Keith Lee over when he is back.
The other decisions? I dunno if I'd say they were all bad per say but aside from Rhea winning (which I think had to happen to add a spark to that division) I don't get the impression WWE really cared that the face lost... and you could argue the face was not over in those matches

Any time I bring it up for comparisons I get yelled at We already had a "Stop watching WWE and watch AEW instead" comment so yeah, this thread is already derailing. No reason to do it. I like bringing up comparisons for characters or booking and even then people in this Board are tired of it so I've held off. Shit just leads to infighting.

I really don't get the Apollo one either. FFS, we really need a big bodyguard type for this brand too? It all reeks of an idea that was just an idea but nobody had the courage to say no to it so they just did it no matter how much it imbalances their own universe.

I don’t even get this complaint. I’d have been happy with Riddle going over but either way overall the right people won tonight.

I'm happy with it. I love Edge but I've no interest in seeing him as champ again. Same with Bryan but I didn't think he was gonna win, anyway. So Tribal Chief it is.

Really for all the comparisons to AEW people are going to, I more just want a show that's like WWE but it's good. I don't know why that's such an impossible get but apparently it is.

Considering how much feel good stuff was on Night 1, I'm glad they let the heels shine tonight.
Like, last night ended on the most wholesome babyface shit in the universe, I enjoyed tonight ending on Roman Reigns being a f***ing beast and pinning two guys at once.
