I can't believe they wasted that intro on this loving show. What a stupid, stupid move.

Trying to salvage a sinking ship of a show. Besides Summerslam crowds are already going to know his entrance and money is they've seen at least NXT Takeovers. Raw crowds aren't going to know wtf. I get the logic but loving Corpus man they don't react to anyone that isn't named Cena, Orton, Michaels, and Austin and Rock.

It was a ridiculously dumb booking decision. The fact that it happened at the end of the second hour is even dumber.

That said, that crowd (which has been dead as poo poo for this whole show) popped pretty hard for it. It's going to be pretty nuclear in Brooklyn. I just hope the fact they introduced it now doesn't mean they have Balor lose in his first match with the Demon persona.

My favorite Undertaker entrance was during Wrestlemania 2003. He came in with his Harley to a live performance of Limp Bizkit's "Rollin," and he had a nephew in Iraq at the time so Taz was all like:

"Imagine if Undertaker was in Iraq, I bet he'd kick some rear end."

Then Tensai spit on the side mirror of his patriotic motorcycle, and Taz said, "Oh no, I wouldn't disrespect the Undertaker!?"

Should have only teased it imho, but the crowd went nuts by Corpus Christi standards I guess. I wish they would have done less searching promos and more the former NXT guys warning Seth with just a tease at the end.

That would've been totally fine and cool, so of course WWE wouldn't do things that way.

If they would've built it a shitload better than Seth just bumbling around it would've been a perfectly good way to introduce him. They should've been doing what they did with Neville and just have various NXT guys going :stonk: when Seth asks them where Balor was.

More people watch on the 2nd hour compared to the third, that and more people watch Raw compared to the network so they want more exposure for him to get over on the main show.
