They had it.
After two years, they had THE moment to have Roman Reigns drop the belt. The crowd was into it. The finish was believable. Reigns wouldn’t have lost any heat from it. And they still didn’t do it.
As soon as the referee’s hand hit the mat for the three count, I said to myself, “he’s never going to lose.” It is September, and realistically the next chance he has of dropping the belts is at WrestleMania … which is in SEVEN MONTHS.
He has no possible threats to his title until (likely) Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania. Tonight was the night. Even if it was a transitional reign, they had the crowd ready to go nuts. And they missed an absolutely golden opportunity.

And they missed an absolutely golden opportunity. again though this isn't even the first night they had it... the crowd was pumped when Cesaro faced Roman and were 110% behind him... when Finn did his Demon hulk up the crowd went f***ing insane for him. and I'm sure there are other times I'm forgetting... But each time they get a basically gift wrapped moment to end the damn thing that the crowd would be for... they just go back to "lol Roman wins stupid" which has been a tired ending for like say... 23 months straight now? (not to mention it was part of what put most people off Roman in the first f***ing place as a face.) Instead Roman is still placed twelve tiers above the rest of the roster... so even let's say Cody wins... then what? You have Cody and Roman then a massive gap... then the rest of the roster. It's not even like with Hogan or Austin or any other top guy... cause while they were clearly the top of the Mountain, there were always guys that conceivably find a way to beat them at their heels.

Roman Reigns has gone stale. Drew should have had this in the bag.

Hunter is a better storyteller than Vince by a long shot, but Hunter also loves top heel runs that last eternities. Not a big surprise to hear nothing budged.

HHH had an all-timer of a MOMENT fall directly into his lap, and he spit on it. One of the biggest dropped balls ever. I'm not even sure I'd say they dropped it... it's far more intentional than that they f***ing spiked it into the ground. They had a 25 yard Field Goal and somehow managed to score a safety.

Thank goodness. I really do not want this to end. Like, legitimately, why? It's been the same thing week after week after week for two solid years. What'd be wrong with something else happening in the main event scene for once? At the very least SPLIT THE f***ING TITLES again. Raw is much better, but it needs a "top prize" for people to fight for. Roman part-timing it over on Smackdown ain't it y'all. This was the opportunity to do so. And it would have been super easy to book. Drew could win. Roman could still be champ. Win Win. I still prefer HHH to Vince by a million miles, but dude has a hard on for heel champions, and this is gonna be a whiff that people remember. Good luck to Drew in recovering, because I don't think he'll ever be able to get the momentum he had going into this show, on his home turf. It was gift-wrapped for WWE. Dude could win it Monday on Raw, and it just wouldn't be the same. This was the moment.

There were three homicides at Clash at the Castle: Drew McIntyre's career, WWE's TV ratings over the next seven months, and the United Kingdom as a WWE territory.

I more than understand why Hunter wouldn't want to take a page out of his competitor's playbook, but even Tony knew when it was time to give the fans SOMETHING in regards to Kenny Omega's reign, and Christian beat him clean as a sheet to win the TNA title. They couldn't even do that.

Put it this way, I don’t think SummerSlam ‘92 would have been as iconic if Bret made Bulldog tap out to the Sharpshooter.

Hunter is a better storyteller than Vince by a long shot, but Hunter also loves top heel runs that last eternities. Not a big surprise to hear nothing budged. The thing is, though, it stands out even more because he was more than willing to give us _those moments_ in NXT. They didn't always last, but we got them. And as much of a Takeover feel as this show had, there was no reason for it not to happen. This was like Gargano getting hosed at Takeover Philly, only times 10,000 because nobody in PA gives a f*** about Cleveland. And it didn't have the benefit of being one of the all-time best WWE-branded matches ever like that one did.

While it's possible to build Drew back up to title contention, he'll never have a live crowd THAT hot for him again. And after all the level-grinding he did to be everything WWE saw in him 10+ years ago, that's an absolute shame.

I can't believe I thought this was the one time they wouldn't treat their fans with contempt. I blame myself, really.

I saw elsewhere people making fun of Drew for having "boo boo face", but I honestly don't blame him here. He grinded his ass off to get to this moment. As I said before, this was a once in a lifetime moment. Some people "lose their smile" he had his stomped out. And with that after match nonsense, it literally looked like he was told he was losing 2 minutes before he came out, and they went through with what was supposed to be a victory celebration anyway. Dude is a pro for sure, but that had to be heart breaking for him.

Its going to be very hard for Drew to recover from this,losing in the UK while looking like a moron singing after sad loss,with Roman moving on and with no end in sight to his reign,what the heck is Drew going to be doing for the forseeable future? A feud with Gunther might be something cool actually.

I gotta say tho, a dude who can't stop winning cause he has an endless supply of cousins? That's a Babyface that connects with me personally.
