Worth noting that NXT *loved* to mess with the reverse momentum tropes. Balor pinned Owens in a tag match the same week he won the NXT title from him. I think Drew himself even did something similar with Bobby Roode if I remember right? Bianca I believe was standing tall the go home show over Becky before WM Pre-Summerslam was a brawl between Bianca and Becky where nobody really stood tall because of security separating them. |

Maximum Male Models could have at least gotten a squash match before losing what is their first match as a team, I hate that trope. I know they're probably on the lower end of teams but you built them up for weeks to lose clean like that.

I may have forgotten if they actually did, but then Los Lotharios save them? It doesn't really make a whole lot of sense so far. |

I'm just trying to remember, I thought they had one match before tonight. Knowing my memory issues, I may very likely be wrong. |

I think Drew himself even did something similar with Bobby Roode if I remember right? Bianca I believe was standing tall the go home show over Becky before WM Ironically, it gave a bit of suspense to a very predictable feud just because of how utterly Bianca stood tall. She easily thwarted Becky's attack, hit her with not one but two KODs, and cut her hair for good measure. |

It looked like Montez was about to move onto something else post SummeeSlam and now he's in the middle of a Hit Row/MMM feud.

That Roman segment with him getting rekt coming out of the car sounds hilarious Seems like falling on your back presumably on concrete to kick a guy may not be the best use of your sneak attack. |

Guess they don't want to spoil the results to the women's tag tournament by featuring Aliyah and her new shiny gold belt.  |

Looks like they're doing hybrid Dunne / Butch which I definitely think is the way to play him.  |

I’m sure this wouldn’t even be a gimmick that Triple H would have greenlit so I wouldn’t expect big things from them. |

So is the Liv/Shayna match not happening anymore? Nothing about them last night and looks like nothing next week too. You think they would at least have one of them involved with the Ronda segment. Hopefully it isn't injury or Covid related. However otherwise it doesn't make any sense.

Them advertising a celebration for Roman being champion for 2 years at least gives me a little more hope that Drew might win. If they weren't making a particularly big deal of it then I'd probably worry. When a really long reigning champion is due to drop the title they usually really start hammering it home just how long he's had it. No more Roman-Drew stuff on the go-home show? Or paper, this doesn't sound that good at all this show. We will see if it delivers on air. Given how this week’s Smackdown ended, it presumably increases the chances of Drew winning at Clash of the Castle, given the whole “reverse momentum” deal. I think that's proven to not even really be a thing. Like I'm sure there was a post/article a couple of years ago and someone had studied it over a number of years and it was basically 50/50 whether the person standing tall on the last TV wins or loses at the PPV. I know it's always had the reputation with fans like "oh no, my guy is celebrating on the go-home show, now I'm 90% sure he's losing at the PPV" but the numbers don't back that up. |

I’m sure this wouldn’t even be a gimmick that Triple H would have greenlit so I wouldn’t expect big things from them. Hunter booked a model in NXT too in Tyler Breeze and pushed him. If you have a stable like this around, you might as well give them a win first so beating them means something. |
