I'm super stoked for RAW in the coming weeks. This is the shake up that they needed. Now for the love of God, can they please pull the trigger on turning Roman Reigns heel? Like Cena, both these guys won't be turning heel.

Raw sucked. The main event was its saving grace. I'm not a Kevin Owens fan but I'm willing to see where this goes.

watching the highlights again... just imagine, that HHH told Reigns and Rollins what was going to happen before the match, but didn't tell Owens until that moment he was going to Pedigree Rollins

So many direction this could lead in. My theory is that HHH is mad that steph didn't choose him to be gm, so he showed up costing "the face of raw" the championship. I don't know if this makes sense considering hhh is the CEO anyways.

Thought RAW was pretty good this time. I skipped the Squashes though. Main Event was excellent, SO happy that KO won!
I like how they gave us a cliffhanger for next week. Now I'm excited!

Be interested if they did a spin where triple h is back because he's mad they're taking all his NXT kids and he's back to start a NXT invasion angle and he's just making sure all his kids are getting every belt out there

That was a surprise. I fully expected Rollins or Reigns to walk out with the title. Glad to see HHH back and given that it seemed neither Foley nor Stephanie knew why he was there, I'm betting the reason he handed the title to Owens is because Owens was one of his NXT guys. This is not without precedent as the seeds for Owens and HHH were planted last year. I believe it was shortly after Owens debuted on Raw that they had a very short segment showing HHH talking to Owens. It was a very small moment, but it laid the seeds for last night. Raw was in danger of getting stale already, but they gave it a much needed shot in the arm with this twist. There's many directions they could go with this, but just have to wait and see it if they ride the momentum or find a way to ruin it.

Soo now the question is whether Seth Rollins is becoming a face soon. Given Stephanie's reaction, it looks like HHH may be the face in the feud. I'm not sure how all of that will work, but it will be interesting to see. I'm not sure there would be a solid heel or face in that feud as for storyline purposes Stephanie and Foley should both be mad as hell that an executive directly interfered in a match and hand-picked who the champion would be. Unless they're in the beginnings of some kind of big NXT/Raw/Smackdown feud (assuming HHH can show up on either show since he's an executive and not draftable), I don't see why Steph and Foley would be considered heels. Their integrity and authority on Raw just got cut out from beneath them.

I can't see a scenario where Owens didn't know he was going to win beforehand. I noticed before the match he had a pep in his step and seemed even more hyped up than usual. I thought to myself "man he seems overly excited...maybe he's going to win". I still didn't expect it but I am pretty sure he knew and couldn't contain his excitement.

They usually know before the match begins, but maybe they didn't tell Owens he was gonna win beforehand so that his surprise was much more legit in the ring. HHH probably communicated the setup to him that he was gonna go down, take out Reigns, put Owens and Rollins in the ring together and then take out Owens, giving the belt to Rollins. Owens was legit surprised or he was selling the hell out of that swerve lol.
