If Sister Abigail was buried in Bray's Secret Backwoods Shack of Infinite Evil, and it's now burned down, shouldn't his finisher be renamed to "Burnt Shack" or something?

Edit: The more I think about it, the less funny that was. I'M SORRRRRRRRRRRRRY.

You had an easy "Great Balls Of Fire" setup, and you didn't even follow through. I am sad for the lost comedic potential.

Classic damnatio memorae tactic. HOH is now on the same lines as Benoit, or the Simpsons shortcut to Itchy & Scratchy Land. It never existed if it's never spoken of again. Hence Abigail is still alive, until TNA does the inevitable stupid thing and lets Rosemary go for WWE to pick her up.

During Goldust's heel turn, I was thinking about how he's got to be second only to Taker at this point in WWE longevity. Granted, he's left the company and come back multiple times unlike Taker, but he's still a guy who was wrestling Marty Jannetty at In Your House 4 in 1995 and now 22 years later is involved in a storyline on Monday Night RAW.

-Goldust turning heel at this point in his career makes no sense. Based on the crowd reaction, Jersey agrees.

- Alexa Bliss running circles around the cartoon character known as Bayley. I wish the kendo stick would have knocked the bad promo skills out of her.

-Enzo deserved the knock to the head.

-An injured Roman goes over Balor. I understand him getting his win back, but that sucked!

-What a way to fuck up a good Ambrose/Miz match with a screwy ending.

Just in case anyone forgot about the real star of this show,

My casual fan wife is usually pretty much on-board with Roman Reigns, likes him and cheers for him over most people. But she was NOT happy about them jobbing Finn to Roman. Like, I haven't seen her that upset about a wrestling thing in...a long time.

I was wanting one of the other 4 to give Bray a bucket of shit about how he couldn't possibly be interested in the Universal Title since he lost the World Title and basically gave up his right to a rematch. If he's not interested in getting the belt back that he had just lost...that he was by definition the #1 contender for due to rematch clause....then why the hell would he be interested in competing with 4 other people to become #1 contender for Raw's version of the title.


But then real world logic <> wrestling logic.

Also factoring in to "real world is not like wrestling" is maybe the fact that since his Title Match was signed PRE-ShakeUp, it still had to be held. However, by virtue of ShakeUp Law, all future rematches are rendered null & void?

And whoever implied that Bayley is cartoonish but Alexa Bliss isn't? Alexa is a one-note bitch-heel. How is that less cartoony? She's the Harley Quinn to Bayley's Batgirl, ffs.

I'm now 2 weeks behind on WWE. I'm trying to avoid stuff on here, which sucks because I like OO better than WWE. I'll just assume that Roman Reigns got booed, Orton did something dumb and Beckie got buried. Carry on.

Countercounterpoint: ..... LOGIC need not apply! The ShakeUp Laws work differently for both shows! Kinda like how The Real Laws work differently if you're rich/powerful.

Roman getting his win back from last summer didn't bug me nearly as much as Sasha losing clean to Alicia.

If nothing else, it gives Sasha something to do until Alexa vs. Bayley wraps up.
