For a moment I wondered why there was no IC title match, but then I realized it was because everyone who could reasonably fight Miz for it was in the ladder match.

Plus Miz, Maryse, and Social Outcasts are filming right now

I suppose this is the *actual* reason since it's not like they couldn't put, I dunno, Kane or someone there just to have a match.

I'm glad ol Sleazy D got a title reign and I hope its a good one.

However, I'm also afraid Vince only has one rule pasted on the wall in the writers room: Title Reigns for Roman Reigns

Roman is the only member of the shield to not have the US title

Qed Roman is the worst

Roman is also now the furthest from being a grand slam champ (not that WWE actually cares about that poo poo anymore). Dean needs the Tag title, Seth needs the IC title. Roman needs IC and US titles.

I'm so happy Dean is champ! Let's hope he has a strong reign that lasts longer than one day.

That AJ/Cena ending was dog poo poo. Also Cena was even WORSE at yelling spots than usual. I heard every spot, clear as loving day. Kinda ruins the mood when you know what's going to happen next. At least the BIG DOG doesn't do that. poo poo. You could make a two minute compilation video of Cena calling spots just from that match. Is he deaf? Oblivious? Or just doesn't give a poo poo?

Roman probably doesn't call any of his matches as he's been the less experienced wrestler in nearly all of his feuds. I don't know if he's been wrestling longer than Bray, that's the only one I can think of where he'd potentially be calling the spots.

The headlock DDT was a lot cooler than the double arm ddt that's my opinion and I'm sticking with it

however both are better than the spear and pedigree

I mean, everyone offense is ok in theory

I think all their finishers are not great, but I think the spear is the best of them. Bring back the curbstomp and the headlock driver and we'll talk

this, the Curbstomp was great and when done correctly the old Dirty Deeds headlock Driver was loving cool and brutal.

The people were ASTONISHED at his doctrine.

According to Rollins' interview on the Jericho podcast the curbstomp was personally nixed by Vince for looking way too much like something kids would attempt so it's never coming back.

And HHH was hesitant to have Rollins use the Pedigree so Rollins asked Vince and Vince thoughr it was a great idea

he should have brought back his old "Sethwalker" flippy thing. turnbuckle powerbomb is cool and good and I was surprised he pulled it off versus Big Dog

I liked when he did the move that injured him and transitioned it into the move that injured Sting. That was cool.

Lads, I have a controversial opinion..

I think Ambrose is a bad wrestler with stupid flailing arm offence

But he's ok at talking

Seth is a superstar though

I agree, but Seth sucks at talking and has no character.

The shield are all bad in unique ways, but Seth is the best of the bunch

Hopefully in the draft they are all banished to Raw, so Smackdown can be Cena vs various foreign stereotypes & villainous cartoon characters, as wrestling should be.

The headlock driver was also super awkward whenever Dean had to wrestle anyone bigger that him.

THE LIAR
Did you guys notice that they freakin' face-turned Seth at the end there? He finally got his legit victory to win the title, no cashing in on two dead guys, no HHH, no Kane, no J&J, no nothin' except a ref bump Roman caused himself and it gives him the courage to stand up and say "BRING IT OOOOOOOON" to Dean instead of just bolting with the title.

And then he gets hit in the back of the head with his own favorite weapon. It's freakin' poetry. Cole's call was amazing and absolutely accurate. He was taken down by a ghost of his past.

I love this finish so much. It does so many great things for all three characters.

I just realized that not only have all 3 of The Shield members been WWE Champion, but they all won the title from a former stable-bro.

Seth pinned Roman for his first title, Roman pinned Dean for his first and Dean pinned Seth for his first. :3:

Lacey is really good actually
You know i said it last night before the PPV and ill say it again, Last night was going to be an odd PPV no matter what because we dont know if any of the feuds from last night will continue to the next PPV. they had 30 days to cash in MITB because of the brand split and I don't think they are even 100% sure what they are doing from a Title or Ppv perspective on that yet. I am surprised they let Ambrose win the belt and that makes me think all 3 shield members are going to the same show. They set up their big summer storyline as being competition between the shield, and I feel like at summerslam they are going to have a triple threat match.

After seeing Rollins win last night though and the fact that for weeks they have been calling it a WM caliber match I have to wonder if before rollins got injured if the plan was to have roman win it the night they had the tournement, then hold it till mania when seth would win it back
