Am I the only person who didn't realize this PPV was this weekend because of the amazingly short and lack of build?

If I had to bet, The UK is going to get their PPV they want. RAW is in Manchester on Monday and WWE is doing a European tour that weekend, I'd be surprised if it was held elsewhere.

Because I had already lost my Fantasy Football game late sunday night, I figured I'd watch tonight. And I'm really glad that I did.
* Feel bad about Reigns, hopefully he beats and comes back healthy and can put cancer in the rear view mirror.
* I feel like the pairing/feud of Lashley/Balor is good. Finn should be able to bounce back with this feud.
* Even though it is a cash grab for oil money, I kind of like the DX/BOD angle. It is absolutely pointless and campy, but I like it. Plus the promo DX cut last night buried pretty much everyone that isn't in NXT. So I'm kind of interested as to if they will move on that line.
* The return of awesome, badass, face Strowman. IDC if they've flipped him quickly in the last few months, but this is what they need to get this guy to carry your show. Have him beat Brock, and continue with the "GET THESE HANDS" bit. It worked incredibly well, and as of last night seems to have come back quickly. Plus if you put your title on him, RAW has a load of big heels for him to work with: Lashley, Drew, Wyatt, Ambrose, etc..... PLEASE DO NOT PUT IT ON LESNAR, even though I fear they will that way when Roman comes back, it will be the rah-rah babyface conquering of Brock, Vince has truly yearned for.
* If Nikki/Ronda lasts more than 30 seconds, then I'll be disappointed.
* LOVED the Ambrose heel turn...LOVED IT! My only hiccup is what happens with the titles now?

With all the stuff the WWE does with pediatric and breast cancer, there is no way they would ever use cancer in a storyline.LOL. If he beats this and comes back, I'll bet cash money, it is used in storyline. Nothing is off limits in WWE.

The episode was heavy but was also good television. It is also dealing with the opioid epidemic that this country is dealing with, which is a really good thing.
Do not like Roseanne Barr one bit, but it was nice of them to not go full savage mode on her dead character like they did with Charlie Sheen

Thought Becky with Edge was great. Enjoyed the Evolution stuff quite a bit. Batista going savage on Triple H was a great setup. Rey's splash was cool and I overall thought his "return" was good and it was a spectacle to get him in there with Nakamura. Fun that Hawkins got 5 seconds of fame on the show. I still wish they would do more with him. Why would Rusev not be in the World Cup?? I don't think I've ever cared this little about tag titles. Smackdown's tag division is the absolute worst imo. It was an ok show. I think it fell flat of something that felt special and mostly just felt like a moderately fun nostalgia show. The video package was great. WWE TV is so bad right now that I guess that was a win. Have you ever watched RAW and their non-existent tag division? At least SDL has real teams.

I can care less about Shawn "tainting his retirement." The guy chose to take a massive payday and who the hell knows, maybe we get a HBK vs. Bryan or Styles out of it all......
I'm all for it, I just wish they could dump the money at Stone Cold to come back for one last match.

Enjoyed Hardy/Orton the most, incredible match. Becky winning was great. Not sure if I like where Joe/AJ is going. When they do stuff like this and give the heel too much credibility it hurts the face. I honestly just don't care about Raw tag division anymore Nobody is an even slightly credible threat to Rousey. The booking of the main event and the two in it.....just off. Absolutely terrible

Everyone is saying Reigns is winning 100%, but I still do see Braun walking out of HIAC as the Universal Champ. Just maybe. It would be cool seeing The Shield show up on RAW the next night with all the Titles (Universal, IC, Tag). Does Braun still have Money in the Bank? Or is this the match he’s using it for? I think him getting beat clean then telling the ref he’s cashing in and cheap shot on Reigns and beat him and both guys come out looking strong. And a good heel rub on Strowman. No this is the match he is using it for. He hasn't came out with the briefcase since they announced it. Just remember, Roman will win. Roman must pose

One of my questions about SDL is, why didn't the Uso's get moved to RAW? They were incredibly hot around the time of the shake-up and SDL seems log-jammed at the moment.
Would love to see them get "traded to RAW," for say.....Elias or Lashley

I think they turned Braun face because he was so over. But he got even MORE over than they thought. I think they turned him back because they really don’t know what to do with the guy as a face. Everything about him screams heel. He’s just so big and dominant that it’s hard to book that as a face. Every feud would be like the Kevin Owens feud that's the problem though. He was too good and entertaining as a face. To flip him back to generic big scary heel is mind boggling

Reading the RAW results is so damn random, Lio Rush wth Bobby Lashley? Gable & Roode? WTF? I'm still bitter that WWE sat on their ing hands when Braun was white hot and the crowd wanted him to dethrone Lesnar. Instead Vince jerked off to his Roman title celebration and continued to further ruin the product in favor of trying to get Reigns over by reuniting the Shield (again) and turning Braun to a heel. Vince and mainly RAW, is ruining wrestling right now. SDL is not the perfect show by any means, but it seems coherent and has consistent stories with payoffs.

If they would have done a somewhat gradual build with him, he'd be the top babyface Vince clamors for him to be. Daniel Bryan's popularity had nothing to do with it.
Problem is post-Shield, he has not had a music change, ring gear change, or a character change. Once the Sheild broke up, Rollins and Ambrose came into their own unique character, while Roman stayed the same, even coming out of the crowd.
If they had him change his look a little bit and gave him a character instead of crying about chances and the establishment, he could be better recieved. But until Vince kicks the bucket, we are stuck with the same old sh*t

What they have done to Braun Strowman and Bobby Roode is ing criminal. Also, what in the blue hell is Drake Maverick doing managing AOP.......IN TACTICAL GEAR?!? God I hate WWE and hate myself for fast forwarding through it.

The lengths they are going to protect Reigns and get him cheered is sad. Because pretty soon the fans aren't going to give two craps about Strowman and it's going to be another wasted opportunity The lengths?? They aren’t even trying. Blame the audience. It’s too easy. The crowd will be into the Shield. They know they can get Reigns cheered. They want people to believe that they’re trying everything with him and it’s not working. They’re just trolling anymore with him. And it’s funny as f*** because AJ is the longest reigning WWE champ in smackdown history and people couldn’t give 2 s***’s because they want to know what’s going to happen with Roman Not true at all, run the lame ass story of him being "uncrowded champion." Then they literally threw Braun out there at SS to make sure people didn't leave and keep them from booing. They put the Shield around him to get cheers because they know he cannot get them on his own. He "gives" Finn Balor a shot so the people like him.
