Well that was a unique ending. If it actually leads to something then maybe it won’t be as bad.
Onwards to Crown Jewel!

I can’t say I watched the show but hearing about the ending just screams classic WWE booking. It’s a scenario where they dont want Finn to lose necessarily but they absolutely cant afford a Roman loss thus coming up with some absolute garbage finish where as if Reigns just beat him clean it actually probably does less damage then this does because you’re not making Finn look like an absolute idiot.
Case in point — Ambrose getting “electrocuted” by a TV monitor against Wyatt at TLC 2014.
Question now becomes, Ambrose never got his revenge against his true arch nemesis that night, the TV monitor. Will Finn ever truly be able to deliver comeuppance to his new feud, the top ring rope?

God saw The Demon dryhump that floor before rising from the dead and said "Begone, Satan" when he was up on that top rope.

Makes no sense. Revive Finn to have him lose because the top rope inexplicably breaks? Like I said, Roman hasn't been booked strong enough apparently, so The Demon has to make an appearance and lose so Roman can be even stronger. I guess for the Saudis.
Overall, this was one of those 'why bother?' PPVs. Nothing is different than before it started a few hours ago. Other than Sasha showing up.

Lily showed up in one piece and left in several from what I’ve read. So… ya know, there’s something I guess.

I got home from NJPW Autumn Attack just in time to catch the main event, and I can easily say that Balor/Reigns was the worst match I saw tonight.
Balor humping the ground and that finish was truly something else. Heyman holding the belt upside down was the cherry on top. I don't think I've ever facepalmed so hard during a main event match in my life.
RIP Demon

Literally cried laughing at the ending of the main event. Absolutely the funniest thing I’ve seen happen on a wrestling show all year. 🤣🤣🤣

One of the many problems with this company is that they consistently book themselves into a corner every single time. That main event is the perfect example of that. Why book a match with Roman Reigns, who obviously can’t lose, against a variation of a character that also can’t lose in Finn Balor. When that happens you get screwy crapty finishes. For better or for worse, they need to commit to clean finishes. This is enough.
They should learn a thing or two from the company that they don’t view as competition.

I checked out the last 10 mins to see what all the fuss was about, with the demon and the rope breaking.
The worst part was Finn's acting during the "spasm" heart beat bit.

Decent show, but that ending was pretty bad and we've already seen this year how a laughably bad ending can affect how a show is remembered.

That PPV was such a waste of time last night. It added nothing to anything and felt like an episode of Raw.
Alexa Bliss probably should have had a swig of water before putting that Tums in her mouth to try and make some sort of frothing at the mouth. Having dry mouth all it did was keep that Tums sticking her to her tongue and not breaking down.
Sasha returning was okay, but it fell kind of flat. It was like, "who's that?? Oh, Sasha. Oh, she's beating up both Bianca and Becky, okay."
They made the Demon look even stronger than ever, but it was to have Roman go over. I wonder what the eventual pay off is going to be with Roman being so dominant?? Drew McIntyre to be the one to take the belt off of him?? The Rock to make a return?? Brock Lesnar to do it once again?? Either way, all three options sound "meh" to me at the moment.
All I know is that I am glad I pay $15 a month for the WWE Network and not $60 to get a PPV that crappy.

Only a few thoughts on this one
If Becky is going to be this arrogant heel character now and still call herself The Man, they really need to buy the rights to ‘The Man’ by the Killers and have that be her entrance theme. She’s had the same music forever, and it’s really not a heel theme.
I love Sheamus, glad he’s getting a bit of a resurgence in the twilight here.
Heyman was MVP of the night with that promo.
They are really pushing the supernatural stuff lately. I could handle it when it was just Taker and Kane and played seriously, but the Bliss stuff and now Balor’s weird defibrillator lights and sounds, the return of the much maligned Fiend lighting, and his music actually playing in the background makes this all look so much more cartoonish than I’d like to see in wrestling. I can take some toonage, the 80’s were my favorite time still, but this is going beyond what I enjoy. They’ve been heading this direction for awhile and I just can’t sudd suspend disbelief to this degree.
They need to make Reigns’ reign 435 days on the dot and then switch it, just to stick it to Punk even more. He can get it back immediately after, and he didn’t even need to be the one to get beat.

So between Finn’s spasming on the floor and the top rope breaking have the 2K glitches finally bled over into the actual product?

It's a damn shame that being the demon adds 900lbs to your mass.

so i thought the opener was great. nice building between E & Bobby
tag title match was fun, right team won in this instance, gotta keep the chase going for a bit or hopefully Street Profits get drafted back to RAW (trade em for the Vikings)
US title match was OK, Jeff Hardy is in a weird place right now and he's been REALLY sloppy lately
i thought the main event was good. i knew going in they were never taking the belt off Roman but at least they tried to keep Finn/Demon a strong character by giving him the "out". the weird supernatural crap though is so cornball. ugh its a tough place to be in the middle of. i didnt hate it but i didnt love it, i hated that they just sacrificed yet ANOTHER good character/story to just keep Roman strong
