I'm really happy for Owens - to me, he's one of the best performers in the company and has been since day one. I'm not too upset with the Triple H shenanigans either, since the backstabbing advances more storylines than a clean win would have, and Rollins can always win back the belt.

Honestly, this is where they should have gone all along. I like Balor a lot, but hotshotting him to the title was a bad idea,, and honestly I think Owens is a more complete wrestler and deserves it more than Balor at this point.

Count me in on the love for the ending/Owens winning, etc. but I just hope they didn't wait too long to pull the trigger on the Rollins face turn. I understand that they wanted to slow burn it with the crowd when he first came back and was blowing the roof off the place with cheers before he'd turn on them but I feel like he's lost a bit of momentum of late (probably starting with the bizarre crowd reaction to him and Balor at Summerslam). Hopefully this will be an excellent reset as this feud could be fucking amazing.

* Bayley fitting right in with that great skit with New Day.
* We need to get this over with and just pair Nia Jax with Braun Strowman.
* Gallows & Anderson videos are becoming one of my favorite things.
* If you don't like Bayley, you cannot be my friend.
* I'm glad Foley added the title shot to the best of 7... that wasn't clear initially.
* Steph & Paul.� Hope this is fun.
* Boy, Paul did a great job of realizing he had Steph by the corporate grapefruits and switched from brazen advocate to humble employee and back again brilliantly.� Steph was fantastic, too.
* Get your camera, take a picture!� Titus is a good trash-talker.
* No surprise Cass out first.
* Well, that was... interesting. Certainly made you want to hear an explanation so tune in next week!

I'm not getting the whole Rollins face turn thing at all. HHH is very clearly the face here, if there has to be one.

First Triple H cost Roman Reigns, RAW's nominal top babyface, the match. Then he handed the belt to an unquestionable heel in Kevin Owens. How does that not make him clearly the heel?

Totally agree. While I get that alignments are in flux n' such, KO and Trips are storyline a-holes. The only time Haitch really got cheers was from fan revolt during the MegaReignsPush. However, the apparent 'unbeknownst to me' look on Steph's face gives me hope that all this won't be standard Authority fare. Besides, there's also the issue of an extremely proud KO winning the belt with outside help from Haitch. That sure doesn't smell face-y.

If anything, KO's headed for a Punk level heel/anti-heel zone. I would love if Rollins went for a Shawn-esque jerkass smirkface deal with Roman as his Diesel. Shield return for WM. I win.

Yeah, the pop Trips got was more for OMG SURPRISE and KEVIN OWENS RULES, more than any sort of kayfabe face turn. Rollins may have been a heel, yes, but HHH is the one betraying a longtime alliance. Of course, good for the goose, good for the gander, and knowing how it feels to be betrayed now is a good way for Seth Rollins to turn face, as he understands just what he did to his Shield brothers and how much it hurts.
