- Thread starter THE GUY
- Start date
What's funny is now they put themselves in an even worse corner
Because if Braun doesn't cash-in tomorrow, he looks like a coward (as he himself said tonight)
If he does cash in and wins, Roman looks terrible
If he does and he loses, he looks terrible
This company is masterful at putting themselves in the worst situations.

It's masterful because people fell for it. It's also sad because people fell for it.
it really didnt get shat over
crowd was hot for that match like they are for most of roman's matches
compared to matches where the crowd obviously loves one performer and the whole thing feels like theyre going through the motions cheering for spots or sequences (corbin vs balor comes to mind, or to a lesser extent seth vs dolph) they expect. i unno its more boring

It's clever in the moment as a way of avoiding what happened at WM 34. But it's dumb as shit in the long term because the goof you had to do all that for just to eek through his latest coronation is now your champ going forward.
Oh man, Vince just upped his game to 4D Chess
A sea of perfectly positioned cameras to capture the Braun reactions while only Roman was in the shot.
It can be both, it's masterful because he goes that far for something so inane, I'm legit laughing at everything about this ending.
"Braun suffered three broken ribs and a collapsed lung from the brutal beating he received last night."
Done. Roman Empire blah blah blah.
The master plan was actually to make Lesnar never defend the title so people would be so bored of its reign that they would be like "pffff yeah ok let's do that then, at least it's a change...." when Roman actually won the title. It worked.
wwe sometimes forgets about rematch clauses.
Like with Owens vs Goldberg, for example.
They have proven time and time again that they don't give a shit about how terrible Roman looks. As long he's making Vince money they won't care.
Just another step in the ultimate scheme.
Like burying his own product on tv via Lesnar, all the pieces have come together like a series of long running books, the anthology of Reigns/Lesnar

I think the first match was still the best. It was an instant classic. This was pretty great too though. No bullshit. Just straight to the point and entertaining as hell.
Loved Brock just beating the shit out of Strowman too. Made him look like a badass. From Strowman clutching his feet to the getting his case thrown out of the arena.
I mean, he doesn't make Vince any money. Vince makes money from TV deals now.
They had to move fucking heaven and Earth just to get the crowd to pop for a Roman win that was built up for 3 god damn years. Wow. Great job. I'm sure that'll pan out long term.
Enjoy the boos tomorrow night.

So Owens/Reigns is being advertised for Hell in a Cell? Fantastic. Owens fed to Reigns for his first successful title defense after being jobbed to Strowman for months. They've killed him down to Bray Wyatt status.
That's why Roman will probably loose it tomorrow so that Braun can win it and we will continuously see Roman chasing it again for the rest of the year until he wins it again.
They is no way you can justify Owens getting a title shot after he got completely squashed like a fucking geek tonight.
That's not to say they won't do it, but it'd be hilarious to see how they try and justify it.
BRO, BRO, BRO, BRO
I'd say the Universal Title is probably with about an 8th.
It's amazing to see people defend a six hour show that didn't do anything beyond average by worldwide standards, in which the best segment was a botched heel turn.
I'd be surprised if he wasn't at least mildly concussed. That big ass chokeslam onto the metal ramp was fucking stupid dangerous and looked horribly painful.
demon finn but he needs another power up form to take on roman

Brock is gonna be on Raw tomorrow. Curious to see how they'll follow up on this. Really wish they'll do HIAC with Reigns, Strowman, and Brock.
With 4 weeks left, it's an organic story to follow up what happened here. And it can segue into a Reigns/Strowman feud.

His head did bounce off the steel. Looked nasty.
ON PAPER I dont mind any of this, really, its just that theyre so fuckin incosistent with their storytelling that the moments dont work, they just make you laugh because you know theyre insulting your intelligence to your face.
I mean theres the dissonance with the Takeover yesterday, in order to pin Ciampa you might need to rip off both his legs and beat him to death with them and even then he might kick out at 2 but apparently BROCK LESNAR can be pinned after taking 4 spears and the unstoppable Braun Strowman is very stoppable after one F5? Enough for him to not get up and fight? Its ridiculous.
Nothing they cant recover from but it sucks seeing characters like KO get totally shat on when you know they could have gotten to the same ending without making so many performers look like weak idiots.

This match was supposedly the last on his contract unless he signed a new one.
Definitely agree, the whole crowd was huge in to Becky turning. It was awesome, wasn't so anti Charlotte as much as it was anti anybody-but-Becky winning
