It's a crime they didn't show Sami's entrance.

Read the spoilers and I’ll give this a miss. I’m too tired to stop up till 4am. O2 Arena sucks anyway 😉 Your bearded Cena thread sucks more though. Watched the highlights this morning, seemed pretty meh.

I read the spoilers and decided to pass on this show. I watched X-Files on BBC America instead. I made the right choice. I'll probably skip Smackdown, too.
Pretty much every UK Show ever has sucked except HBK vs John Cena on RAW in 2007 and when Undertaker came back to fight Ambrose a few years ago on Smackdown.

I thought the show was alright. Roode getting into MITB felt obvious but that match was better than I thought it had any business being. Alexa was an even bigger foregone conclusion but I won't be complaining about watching her win.
Rollins continues to be Raw's overall MVP, but this week, my player(s) of the week award goes to Ziggler and McIntyre. That's a really big win for them. Not to mention, McIntyre standing across the ring from Braun made Braun look totally human. I honestly think it's only a matter of time before they turn this duo into a vehicle for Drew to become World Champion. He finally is the Chosen One. He's got an amazing look, he's massive, he can talk, he's an international star, and he's super polished in the ring. Guy is the real deal. That said, I still want to see him win the tag titles and do this whole team with Ziggler because it's been super fun to watch so far.
I like what they're doing with KO. They can use Stephanie McMahon or Triple H and not have them on TV. Plus, it gets great heat for KO. Although, I do wish they could settle on his friendship with Sami. Are they or aren't they? That situation desperately needs some continuity. That match was probably the most we've seen from Lashley to this point, too.
I was largely disappointed in the crowd. Regardless if you care for the singing or not, that crowd usually brings its own unique energy and I didn't get that last night. There was some of it towards the end of the show but we've seen some invested crowds in London and there wasn't any magic there last night.

I don't get why the UK crowd was booing Lashley. Bobby Lashley was putting on a great performance and all the UK crowd was doing was booing him because he actually looks like a wrestler. I find it quite sad and I feel ashamed to be from the same country as them morons. I would have much preferred Lashley to be in the MITB match than KO who is boring at best.

No doubt Drew McIntyre is my favorite thing in all of wrestling at the moment. Good win for them tonight. Now it’s only a matter of time till they go after Hardy/Wyatt. I think Zig Mac (Like the burger. Get it?) only won to appease UK crowd. I expect them to stay as mid carders.

I agree 100%, he was great last night and he’s only gonna get better as he goes on. At least he finally has a fued going with Sami Zayn.

But why exactly would a win for Drew be more appeasing than giving the win to Finn?

There are no words to describe the idiocy of trying to get Roman Reigns cheered by giving him the Daniel Bryan treatment.

I don't even stay up for Raw anymore because it's that insufferable.

There are no words to describe the idiocy of trying to get Roman Reigns cheered by giving him the Daniel Bryan treatment. I can't for the life of me understand how they think this will help him. The whole point in that storyline, is that it also reflected reality at the time. Daniel Bryan was the hottest thing they had, but they didn't want to run with him, and went the route of thinking Randy Orton vs Batista was going to Main Event Wrestlemania. They even thought Triple H vs Daniel Bryan was the payoff, and ultimately, it drove the fans to push Bryan even more naturally. The management legitimately didn't want Daniel Bryan there, and so the fans rallied behind the cause. For them to even attempt to try and sell the idea that 'WWE management' is against Roman Reigns is borderline delusional, and is only going to anger the fans even more. Nobody is stupid, not even the casual fan. There has never been a more force-fed Superstar in the history of the Company, period. Every road leads to Roman. No matter what small bones they throw the fans during the bulk of the year to keep them sweet, the bigger picture and the Main Event of Wrestlemania always still leads to Roman. They bottled pulling the trigger on him once again at Wrestlemania 34, for no reason, and they did it again in Saudi Arabia. Yet, it still feels like unfinished business. At this point, I'm adamant that 'WWE management' is holding out for Roman Reigns to beat Brock Lesnar clean when he is not only the WWE Universal Champion, but also the UFC Heavyweight Champion.

The B-Team is yes!!!! Sorry,just getting around to watching Raw. Also, the desperation to get Roman over has become unbelievably palpable.
