Reigns will not get into the match. Rusev will come back next week and cost him his opportunity and they will actually have a US title match.

Didn't watch, but I'm confused; why is Sasha getting the title shot instead of Bayley? Triple threat makes the most sense kayfabe wise, is that where it looks to be heading?

ELITE NEW JACK WITH TABLE AND STAPLE GUN!!!! RSCTom considering we're on good terms since I agreed not to ban you for comparing my education struggles to John Cena, think you can make this happen as repayment? I will use all the power I have to make this figure happen for you. Which is 0. Attachment Deleted

Reigns was attacked the same as Rollins was. He was screwed out of the title just like Rollins was. From a kayfabe point of view, why wouldn't he want retribution also? It makes more sense to have Reigns confront Owens than it would have for him to have just moved on.
But since it's Reigns, nobody will look at it objectively.

Maybe it's because I was flipping between Raw and Family Feud (gf love show, and seeing as wrestling is now everyday, I've compromised with her when we're laying in bed. We can watch Smackdown uninterrupted, but Raw has to flip between Family Feud on GSN and Raw when Raw gets boring), but I saw an entirely different angle being run.
I didn't see the chicken heel who cheats to win. I saw a guy who stood up to Reigns and then said maybe later (similar to what he did with Cena, minus the attack). I saw a guy who is face of Raw cleanly pin a fan favorite in the middle of hte ring to close out the show.
This is not a cocky chicken heel. This is an arrogant heel who knows he is the best, and as of now, doesn't need an army to do his bidding.
Finally, some heel champion is being booked like Triple H.

why would that be bad news? shes not 14. Moot point now, but from the way she was talking, she made it seem like this had been her dream, and that she had to put it aside because she's now pregnant. She kept talking about kids and mothers and whatnot. So, she'd be giving up her dream. Bad news. This segment was bad though. It reminded me of Stacy Keibler's big reveal about her child. A lot of unnecessary comments designed to misdirect you. Only difference is that at least Keibler's had a story. This was "I haven't been on TV. I have bad news. I'm going to talk about how the doctor's checked me, how I had this dream of being a dominant figure in the women's revolution, and how I am injured, but then I'm going to say it's bad news for Charlotte just because I can tug on your heartstrings. Still like me?"

terrible booking decision. I mean, Enzo can eat a million pins & still be the greatest thing. But there's no reason to put them over, there's nothing in a feud here. We can "thank" the Seth Rollins/Finn Balor match for this. If Balor hadn't gotten injured, there'd be no reason to re-write Raw to a four way. On paper, it looked like Owens and Cass would cancel each other out because they were embroiled in a feud together. And Rusev would have cost Reigns the title because of their feud. Then you have Rollins winning. But, WWE decided to setup a swerve (and rightfully so) which caused Enzo and Cass to be without a feud as you can't have JeriKO battling those two and KO defending his title. So, with the Club facing off against New Day, what other teams are out there? PTP are feuding with each other. Outcasts are no more. Dudleyz are retired. I literally can't think of another team other than the Shining Stars. Maybe the Dudleyz come back after the angle with Club and New Day to get revenge, but right now Dudleys (whether retired or not) are written off TV. So, you either have Enzo and Cass directionless for a while, or you slop together a feud with the only heel team remaining. Oh you could have them feud with Golden Truth, because who wouldn't want to see that lunacy? But they're face too. So, this was literally the only option outside of a callup.

It makes more sense to have Reigns confront Owens than it would have for him to have just moved on. But since it's Reigns, nobody will look at it objectively. i'll counter that with this objective opinion... Reigns had been chasing the US title for the previous few weeks leading up to Summerslam. AT Summerslam, Reigns & Rusev brawled to a no-contest. The night after Summerslam due to the unfortunate circumstances, Reigns was thrown back into the Universal title picture randomly with no reason or explanation other than "he's Roman Reigns" Reigns was attacked by Triple H....the man who he beat at Wrestlemania, the man who made his life a living hell for months leading up to wrestlemania, and so on. Reigns had zero connection to the Universal Championship, it was the WWE World Championship he lost at Money in the Bank. So why would Reigns HAVE to go after Kevin Owens? Wouldn't he want retribution on Triple H first and foremost? In that instance, why didn't Big Cass go after Owens too? I mean....yeah he didn't get screwed by Triple H, but he still lost the match for the title. and on top of that....why did Reigns get to go after Owens during the main event and be in the ring "standing tall" to close the show. Because despite what people think.....95% of the time, the last thing you see on any WWE show IS the main event and the primary focus, the thing you're supposed to remember going into next week and on. But the entire storyline here should be about Rollins considering he was "in the pocket of the authority for 2 years" instead the way they left the audience is "zomg what's going to happen with ROMAN REIGNS and his POWER?!" It's not about the fact that it's Roman Reigns. It's the fact that the WWE does everything and anything they can possibly do on a weekly basis to make sure that Roman Reigns is the greatest wrestling superstar in the history of the industry. He's is incredibly protected, he is ALWAYS left to look like the most unstoppable force on the show (except when they are selling him as the ultimate underdog) and in the last 2 years he's lost i think about 4 matches, 2 of them clean and the only reason for that was because he failed a wellness test and got suspended. While the rest of the roster is 50/50 booked into boring chants. If people can't see HOW FAVORED this guy is over the entire roster....I just don't know where else to go with it.

I couldn't offer my thoughts on the show as they happened last night because the wife and i had company over. I figured it'd be REALLY rude to be buried in the phone posting here,because i was already coming off rude enough since i was tuning out the conversations so i could hear RAW.....lol.......but to sum it up, for me,the show started really strong. Strong enough that our guests actually took interest in the show. That changed pretty quick. By the time the Club/New Day stuff ended, no one here but me was watching. I enjoyed Rollins vs Jericho, and the main event with Owens and Zayn. Thats about the extent of it. Had i known only the opening segment and closing match would have been worth watching, i would have tuned RAW out and paid more attention to my wifes guests. Lol.....my bad. Anyway, wasn't too much of a fan of the overall product last night,but i still have hope that the talents of Owens,Rollins,Jericho, Zayn,etc save the show for me weekly. Oh yeah, i DID enjoy the Sheamus vs Cesaro match. If they are doing it the way I'd like to see (which it appears they are) they have the chance to get the people behind Cesaro on a big level again. I guess we'll have to wait and see there.

I'm on the edge of giving up on Sami Zayn he is in dire need of a proper fued. He had great matches with Owens even with a big win over Owens to close the fued but he's gone on to do nothing. He should be going after the US title or something.

Raw is a mess. The entire show is filler, and superstars go from doing one thing one week to doing something completely different the next. Switch to Smackdown broski (;

When he didn't, he targeted the next best thing. The WWE championship he was screwed out of.

I love the KO shirt with a throwback to oldschool RAW.
I thought he told a good story with Zayn at the end, plus he had solid mic work. I first thought they were going KO face and maybe Seth heel. It looks like they're going opposite.
Just don't give him like cowardly heel champ 101 booking. They've booked Ambrose well. Just make KO look good enough.
