I guess you can count Southern Justice and being J-E-Double Awful's bodyguard as something for Henry Godwin
Dana Brooke is f***ing awful. Looks like Miss Piggy, so she doesn't have it going in the looks department. Botched taking a kick from Sasha a couple weeks ago, her punches she threw on the mat on top of Bayley drew nothing but air, and the camera angle changed twice and couldn't hide it, then she was halfway down taking a back bump for a drop kick before Bayley left her feet just now. Just f***ing awful.
Just to show that WWF has always killed people off for no reason at breakneck speed: Hakushi went from wrestling Bret Hart at the 1st In Your House in May, to wrestling on "The Underdogs" team at Survivor Series with Barry Horowitz, Buttplug Holly, and Marty Janetty.
Also, it just needs to be mentioned from time to time; 1995-1998 Sunny was the hottest diva of all time

Max Moon is back!!!!!
Personally, WWE is missing out not letting Zayn break out Generico one time to take on Americo.

She reminds me of that bottom of the pyramid cheerleader ho from high school. Gross and sucks in every way. That's Dolph Ziggler's lady too.
So Steph says we are crowning the first Universal Champion tonight. So are we treating Balor's win like Benoit's career?
I think WWE needs to turn Rollins face. Kevin Owens works best as heel.
I'm trying to think what WWE is going to do tonight. I wonder if they had plans for Reigns to win the title as early as SummerSlam after finding out about Balor's injury. The U.S. title match didn't even happen after that. Was that the original booking?
I don't think Reigns is winning tonight. They want to keep him away from the title for a few months. Kevin Owens or Seth Rollins could win it but then what face do they feud with for the next few months? They would have to turn someone.

Anyone else catch the piped in noise when Roman and Big Cass were trading punches? They let the boos come through on the first few punches Roman landed, but when he hit the superman punch they cut the boos just as they started and piped in the famous seagull pop on the fly.
Also, good rub in that match for Cass. Looked good, but still the first eliminated. Glad WWE isn't hot shotting him to the top. They got a good thing with him right where he is for the moment.

Did we just see Rollins turn face via Triple H? Helluva way to end RAW. Think I'll stick around a few more weeks.
They needed to turn Rollins face and that was the perfect way to do it. Question is does he feud with Owens or are they setting up a feud with Trips?
They had a 50/50 shot of ending it right. What is funny is both involved a heel walking out champ. Not often that happens to make a crowd happy. Also is a testament to how awful the face pool is on RAW. If this leads to a Rollins face turn, and somehow a Roman heel turn, this was the absolute right thing to do.
Nah, I think that is why Trips had to take out both he and Roman Roids. Rollins will chase the belt, and Roman gets trips again.
Triple H attacking Roman can be easily explained in kayfabe. WM and what not.
Triple H attacking Rollins and helping Owens win will take some more effort in kayfabe, but I'm looking forward to seeing how they do it. If Rollins stops injuring folks, his big money will be made as a face.
That was a dope match, by the way. Every multi-man match should be elimination style.
Super happy for Owens. I've got some buddies who have met Owens at various indie promotions before he signed with WWE and they were all unanimous in saying that Owens was one of the super coolest dudes in the business. Good stuff.

Glad Owens won the belt but I guess I am in the minority and thought that finish sucked. Was all about HHH and now the guy who doesn't need anybody but himself is with "The Authority?"
Ok just going to be glad they did the right thing and gave the belt to Owens.

Only thing I hate now is that Roman superman punches everyone very often and it amounts to a two count. I'm fine with the two count really because after all it's a damn punch but he has "laid out" a few peeps with it and now it's overplayed.
I agree it's Rollins/Owens and Roman/HHH because it has to be.........BUT Big Cass/Roman as the WM Main Event is coming soon!

I made this and it got shared a lot so I assume Cornette is going to murder me.
We don't know he's with the authority. At least not yet. They played it that KO looked surprised, and then Triple H and Steph had an awkward moment. Like BKH said, it will be interesting to see how they explain this next week.
He's very nice. He's kind of a shorter guy but with him being incredible at promos, don't ever mess with him on twitter. He destroys everyone.
Rollins should have been a face upon return. Everything is solid now with that. WWE needed a new face and got one. Now they have KO and Rollins feuding for a few months and Reigns looks good but stays away from the title.
Also, there's no way that Reigns main events WrestleMania.
I don't think he's with the authority. I just saw it as an "eff you" from HHH to Rollins.
Probably setting up HHH vs Rollins at Mania? That's a long ways away but would be cool.
I agree with K-Mac because it kind of was about HHH and Vince will let him ride that ego. The ending had Owens pin Rollins which was the right thing to do, but Owens needed HHH is how they are playing it already.
But overall they did good, kept Reigns from looking weak, Cass got a big pop and some offense and they tested him vs Reigns which could be good if they only keep it out of the main event or for the title.

WWE has totally given the IWC/smarks everything they could want.
1. Nakamura wins NXT title
2. AJ Styles goes over clean on John Cena
3, Finn Balor wins Universal title
4. KO wins Universal title
I bet there's still no pleasing some though.
Yeah. Screw that pandering, racist Card fan turd.I made this and it got shared a lot so I assume Cornette is going to murder me.
Same here. As soon as Reigns GTFO I was saying to myself it doesn't really matter who wins now. Then Triple H got back in the ring and I thought Owens was about to get screwed. The pedigree outta nowhere was awesome and did not see it coming. Good ending for RAW.
What's the story with KO and Cornette or is it HHH/Cornette (in which case I assume bitterness and jealously about someone with more success).
My HHH-Rollins angle? Rollins is always hugging Steph. HHH don't care for Rollins touching his wife. Steph is flattered that a young guy pays attention after she spat out kids while her husband works constantly, but she doesn't go there. Blur the lines, make Steph sympathetic.

Wasn't Owens (Steen at the time) the one that Corny sent home during his time in ROH with a legit injury and the plans were to let him get healed up, get in shape, and hot shot the belt on him when they made their return. Fast forward to the return, he's fat as f***, out of shape, and Corny pretty much tells him to get his fat *** out of the building. If so, I think that is the KO/Corny heat, LD.
The Cornette-Owens thing goes back to ROH days. An interesting interview from Owens about Cornette.
Didn't watch the final hour. Figured that Reigns or Rollins was going to win, so I crashed. Pleasantly surprised to see that they put the title on Owens... although that finish seems odd.
But when ratings and viewership are dropping and Monday Night Football is right around the corner you have to do something.

Doubling down on Jim Cornette. Great manager, great promo, the best ever at talking about old wrestling. But when it comes to new wrestling, he needs to just stay away. He can't book. At least not without Jim Ross or somebody else filtering his crappy ideas and fine tuning his good ones. And then he panders to the hardcore smart marks out there who basically have hated wrestling forever and always push back the goalposts when something good happens in wrestling. And again...huge Louisville Cardinals fan. Screw that guy.
Noticed the same thing on the superman punch. It got sort of stagnant with that after the first two he landed. Seems like he is only good for that punch or a spear. Either way I liked the result but thought majority of the match was lame.
Glad that KO gets the opportunity to hold the belt, don't like how they did it though. He is more than capable of doing it on his own. If aitch is able and available, you can bet your sweet *** he will find a way to put himself in the title picture.
Knowing Triple H and the direction of his character, it wouldn't surprise me if he went half-shoot and brought up the rash of injuries as his reasoning for attacking Rollins. I'm not sure this would be the best idea because I don't think he can turn face if that card gets played, but I could totally see that happening.
Something along the lines of "As the COO, I'm far too invested in this company to see you injuring so many superstars and then getting to be the top guy in the business because of it." That just reeks of a thing Hunter would say.

All you do is have Rollins cut a line similar to how Miz cut into Bryan last week, that wrestlers know the risk each time they step into the ring, and if they can't take it, too bad so sad. That he's in a business of hurting people, and he can't help it if he's good at what he does. Fans eat it up, and Triple H looks like a tool.
