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 I just said to my boss that I'm half expecting a NXT/nWo angle with Hunter at the top. Great ending. Owens reaction was fantastic. I hope he didn't know!!

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! I was gonna skip the squashes, but AMERICO!

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. I can't remember why but I think it was around Rumble and in a backstage segment Owens said to HHH "Okay but you owe me one" He had now been paid back!

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. I really just think he was that good at selling it

Am I the only one who's annoyed they scrapped the Roman/Rusev feud? Thought that was good for both of them. Sucks.

Also - it seems WWE is trying a whole new approach where they are embracing this anti-kayfabe era. They have been towing that line with the Lesnar/Orton feud, Rollins injury prone behavior etc. Feels like this is going to lead to a HHH/NXT invasion situation.

There's nothing I love more than being legitimately shocked watching wrestling.
I wanted Owens to win. I thought Owens might win. But absolutely no one predicted that ending. Amazing all round.

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 I fully like to believe this was the case. Imagine that feeling for Kevin, thinking he was gunna soak up a spear and lose, only for all of that to go down. The stuff dreams are made of! Unfortunately, Owens cannot hide genuine emotion for the love of money, it was written all over his face during his entrance that he knew it was his night! What a man. He deserves it fully, what a great ending to RAW.

I'm so glad that Triple H is back to give Raw some much needed star power. The roster is 95 percent NXT guys and about 3 household names: Chris Jericho, Brock Lesnar - who's gone for another several months - and Big Show who's hardly ever even on TV anymore.

I'm still in shock. KO is a heavyweight champion.

Am I the only one who is really into the Club/Dana Brooke pairing? Get Dana away from Charlotte and with them, now.

KO will have to buy a belt extender to wear the title around his waist.

When you think about it, did Rollins come off last night as a babyface who got screwed? He was still acting like a heel, he was more than willing to go along with screwing Reigns, but then HHH double crossed him. Does that mean Rollins was wronged? Or did he get what was coming to him and HHH and Owens are really the babyfaces? So much to think about.
