If Balor is out 4-6 months, the 4 months has him back at the end of December... 5 months is Royal Rumble. Hopefully we get a Balor Rumble win...

Brood Steenburgen's opponent's interests guarantee him a WWE contract and Vince's support, I'd guess.

I agree with everything Sheamus said aboot NY just short of him forgetting the "nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure" tagline.

Did...did Boom Townrats opponent just say he likes hot, sweaty men?

ETA: OMD's got the right idea. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

There's something about Braun Strowman's face that makes me think he looks like former Toronto mayor Rob Ford. I can't stop laughing at the thought of Rob Ford being Braun Strowman.

I'm pretty sure he'd set a new record for "fastest violation of the wellness policy" if that were the case....

IS IT TIME FOR THE SHINING STARS TO FINALLY ESTABLISH THEMSELVES AND FIND SUCCESS?!?!?!?! I'm going to make a wild guess and say yes.

Edit: I actually didn't expect that to segue into a Club thing. I almost believed Primo and Epico were going to get into a feud that might've helped add some more meaning to their continued employment. Oh well!

Gallows and Anderson should get a nice run with the belts. Possibly leading to TLC at Mania against New Day and Enzo/Cass.

At least Roman's eye didn't hold him back! Unlike some people.



Now I very much want someone to throw a thing of pudding and/or fish guts at Reigns.

Roman in the four way hurts the Jeri-KO storyline, hurts Rusev, and did nothing for the fans in Brooklyn. So it looks like the reaction to an Indy darling getting hurt is put the strap on Roman.

Noice. Had me going for a bit and I thought they'd actually go with a 3 heel to 1 face 4-Way. Still, Owens and Jericho are an amazing duo and I'd glad they didn't sow any seeds of discontent when CJ lost. And it's nice to see the Unfuckening of Roman continue. At this point, I wouldn't mind him shoving Barf Lestard's big square cro-mag head up his corn fed ass.

I kinda doubt they'll put the belt on Owens, but holy shit would JeriKO be even more fun and awesome if Owens was champ and Jericho begrudgingly had to accept it.

Also, not that I ever want to see anyone legit injured, but it would be funny if whoever won the Universal title next week got injured and had to vacate the belt on RAW the next week. Then Vince could come out and say "fuck it, this belt just obviously isn't meant to be" and the WWE Universal title could be retired after three weeks of existence.

So in the long term, this makes Finn look damn mythic right? Wins the Big one in his ppv debut(beating the de facto top face to earn the opportunity and then beating the top heel to win the match), becoming the inagural Champion of this particular Title, and then vacates it which will lead to a major return against the future Paper Champion.If this was Hogan, people would believe it's a fake ass injury because this would make him look so strong.

Hell, you could even work it in with the Demon, the transformation pushes his body too much and kayfabe wise it's partly responsible for him having to vacate the Title. That's why he doesn't use it so much.

That really sucks for Finn Balor. I'm sure his return in 6 months is going to blow the roof off the place. Hopefully, it will be at the Royal Rumble.

After he relinquished the belt, it kind of took the air out of the rest of the show. The tournament announcement felt really underwhelming. Then you get the inclusion of Roman Reigns, which not only gave you the feeling of "here we go again", but they stick him in the Main Event match! If he ultimately wins the title, which I don't think he will, then just get the gun out

I truly do think they'll be smart and put the belt on Rollins. Which they honestly should've done in the first place. I'm not sure Finn is quite as over with the fanbase as a whole as he is with NXT-watching hardcore fans, and Rollins is a reliably excellent performer. Hopefully Rusev will cost Reigns the semifinals so they can continue the first feud in literally years where Reigns has been booked correctly.

I'm not sure there's really much instant upside for Finn when he returns. He had one month and one PPV match (that the crowd shat all over because herp derp red belt) in which to get over, and it's not like his pops were ever deafening. Even for the almighty Daemond. If he comes back in time for 'Mania season and gets an impressive Rumble win, they can rebuild him back fast. Otherwise, he needs more time to cook.

I'm seriously not sure how getting injured during his very first title match is a good thing for Finn Balor or makes him "mythic." Mythically unlucky, maybe. Like, WWE is super awesome about trusting upcoming talents who appear to be made out of glass. See Zane, Sami or Barret, Wade.

http://pwinsider.com/article/104253/dudley-boyz-depart-wwe.html?p=1

quote:
The Dudley Boyz' farewell tonight on Raw was a legitimate one as Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley officially departed the company tonight and are once again free agents, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

PWInsider.com reported several weeks ago that the team had come to terms for a new deal with the company. Sources indicate that while that was correct, the new deals had not yet been officially executed and at some point over the last seven days, WWE and the Dudleys amicably agreed to part ways and that the team would finish out on Raw, dropping the teased split of the team that had been built over the last several weeks.

The angle with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson laying out the Dudleys was designed to put some heel heat on The Club for ruining The Dudleys' farewell as well as leave a door open for a storyline if at some point the two sides decide to do business again.

We are told that when the farewell segment was over and Bubba Ray and D-Von returned to the locker room, the entire Raw roster as well as all of WWE management, including the McMahons, were waiting for them to give them a standing ovation and to greet them.

What the Dudleys' next move will be remains unclear as of this writing. The team returned last year to WWE, appearing for the company for the first time since June 2005. They had a run with WWE Tag Team champions New Day but of late, had not been in a featured position. The planned split appeared to be poised to set up Bubba Ray Dudley for a singles run.

Prior to their 2015 WWE return, the team had split up during their time in TNA, which led to Bubba Ray getting the biggest singles push of his career under his "Bully Ray" moniker, including a run with the TNA championship.

The pair operate the Team 3D Wrestling Academy outside of Orlando, Florida.


If that's true, that's kinda bullshit for the Dudleys to not have gotten a better sendoff.

Hard to see how you can blame that injury on Finn though, right?

(The outside the ring Buckle Bomb is the move that WWE should have banned, not the Curb Stomp!)

I like your scenario of coming back at the Rumble, building up to something at Wrestlemania though.
