Really fun show from what I saw. Missed Bianca/Iyo, Rollins/Omos and the US title match but I can rewind here in a second.

No stopping for the blood, nice. Is that you, Mox?

Really enjoyable show to be honest.
Some big weeks ahead in terms of the new draft changes, call ups and WHC picture. I’m excited to see what they come up with!

Iyo/Bianca was my match of the night, but nothing was bad
Honestly a perfect show IMO, just would've swapped the last 3 matches: should've been the 6-Man, Cody/Lesnar, then Bunny/Priest

i looked away right as cody rolled into the pin thinking brock was going to let go to break the attempt. definitely a bit surprised thats how it ended...and not surprised in a bad way. i like it..."fluke" win is still a win. and also shows that cody can be creative in finding a way to win, which eventually could prove to be useful against roman

Is there a scrum for this one? There has been 1 for the last few shows

My time to consume wrestling content has unfortunately been fleeting recently - have they announced who is in the Raw WHC triple threat on Monday?
I assume it will be something like Rollins v Gunther v Rhodes or Balor which is just an insane level of talent & shows how much the title was needed. There’s so many feuds between guys of that ilk that haven’t been investigated yet.

No participants announced just yet. 2 triple threats, the winners of those will face in the main event later that show. Same format on Raw and Smackdown

So are Friday’s Triple Threat Matches going to feature SmackDown superstars? I’m confused.

Excellent show. I’m so intrigued to see where they go with Cody now. I don’t think Brock is done with him after what we saw tonight. I’ll have to rewatch this entire show over again tomorrow. It was that good!

Yup! Raw's brand new exclusive championship has a chance to be won by a Smackdown star. Makes sense, right?

Finishes like that are why roll-ups achieve nothing other than minor surprise. They're flukey & lucky. Both of Brock's shoulders weren't even down

I need a few pages to do it, but I could wax poetic about how good Damian Priest was at being a smart worker tonight, knowing exactly what to do and making the most out of the smallest details. Literally the only thing I hated was the crash pad driver spot, because the match literally could have continued, and been better off, without it happening. Damien Priest is capable of brilliance, and the sheer meticulousness of his timing, mannerisms, sensibility of chaining moves and moments together, made this the best match of his life. He’s never shown that level of old school working before.

Lesnar matches aren’t usually too long

Crowd made what was somewhat of an average card a lot more enjoyable. Lesnar's botched blood spot seemed to overshadow anything else that followed, and it felt like they rushed to finish the match once he had cut open. It's sad that in an after-hours show, on a Premium Live Event, that they can't celebrate his cut, and instead had to have him face away from the hard cam and use further-out cameras to show the rest of the match with, and almost hide his injury rather than sell it. The finish was also botched pretty bad on Lesnar's part, so it's hard to tell if this was done on purpose to set up a rematch, or if it was just a fluke quick win for Cody to now move on. A roll up was probably the only way they could realistically have Cody go over clean here, since it's catching Lesnar off guard. Hard to know what to make of it, but it wasn't a classic, and Lesnar looked pis*ed at the end.
