So glad I cancelled the network. No matter how much better Smackdown is every week, they'll still put raw on for the main event. NJPW is lightyears ahead of WWE right now and if it wasn't for NXT, I would just stop watching completely. I know right because at least NXT knows how to run its product unlike the main roster

The whole Becky angle is a nice twist, but they went about a very strange way of doing this. Charlotte was handed the title opportunity and pinned Becky to win it. This coming after Becky spent the last couple months running through everyone while Charlotte was out hurt. And after two years of being Charlotte's shadow, she finally snapped and beat the out of Charlotte. From storytelling perspective, the angle they're running with? I can see why they decided to run with Becky as a heel, but it feels more apt for a face turn scenario to me. They'll have to be very careful with how they decide to spin this, because they'll either make a great heel out of Becky or they'll get the booking completely ass backwards and have the heel seem more sympathetic than the babyface who was just brutally assaulted by her best friend. As for the Roman/Brock/Strowman situation...as long as Brock s off and remains ed off I don't care either way. I like both Roman and Braun so I'm fine with either one of them as champion.

I know right because at least NXT knows how to run its product unlike the main roster Thats the one silver lining as a WWE fan,that at some point when Vince truly is gone that Triple H will finally have full control of the product and not just NXT & 205 both of which are clearly better then RAW,Smackdown and the monthly PPV's. Shows like tonight just really piss me off because the main roster has so much talent thats badly handled in terms of their booking and laying out matches and storylines.You can clearly see in 2018 how a lot of the roster when it comes to the big shows aren't giving it 100% or going all out,can't say I blame them. When your so called development brand blows your A Shows and brands out of the water on their specials every time and now for years now you have a serious problem.One that looks like the WWE could care less to address.

lots of good matches tonight. maybe not some results i wanted, but i still enjoyed the show overall.
eager to see where some things go from here... -aj/joe to carry this into hell in a cell?!? (what a match that can be) -becky heel turn refreshing against charlotte -can finn & corbin move onto another fued now? -will brock show up ever again in some capacity -what’s next for rollins? more vs ziggler & drew w/ ambrose, or ambrose heel turn along the way?? -more bryan & miz? surely they can’t be finished -lots more
def a fun show. it delivered for me. my favorite match was rollins/ziggler

The best match on the show was far and away Bryan vs. The Miz. Superb match with an incredible choice for the finish.

They want to shove force feed us Roman and Charlotte but also shove Ronda down our throats too so can't say it surprises me really as a fan. Tune into NXT from now on and 205 Live instead. Or better yet just not watch WWE anymore and let's all watch NJPW and ROH. Let's see if then and only then WWE decides to wise up.

Nxt outshines main roster again Yup. Very happy I went to Takeover instead of Summerslam Last year in Brooklyn though. Hopefully they don't stick to one place like LA for the next 5 years, and move around the country for Summerslam weekend

I'll take 400 Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar matches over one Delirious-booked dumpster fire any day, my friend.

Styles/Joe should have gone on last with Reigns/Lesnar going in that spot where Styles/Joe was. If you had the WWE Championship match go on last then maybe just maybe it could have saved the show.

67% of what's wrong with wwe in one picture. 2/3 of the superhuman trio. Can't believe the final member, and fellow new champion, Charlotte didnt join in. Those 3 could start a faction and win every match, always clean, for the next 10 years.

Braun getting taken out by Lesnar was lame, it would have made things interesting if he cashed in right after the match was over.

For me it is a solid 5 out of 10 or even a 6 at best and that ain't even much
