People still really like that Cesaro fella so if Roman won there'd be a million cries that Cesaro didn't.

yeah but like a million cries from sixteen dudes.

The worst part of the Roman/Cesaro match was when Roman had Cesaro in the corner and tried to execute a sort of 10-count clothesline-punch thing, but he was so gassed/lazy/bad at wrestling that it immediately became him just weakly draping his arm over Cesaro's shoulder a little.

All aboard the inevitably awful Ambrose heel-turn title run.

That's maybe the worst spot in WWE right now. Roman has never once made it look good.

It's also the one big cheer spot that he should be able to do! Be a Big Muscle Dude, throw good looking punches/elbows. He has a big issue with looking impactful for a power guy.

Speaking of bad spots, Ambrose needs to get rid of the loving rebound clothesline, the rope bit looks worse and worse every time I see it. The clothesline itself is usually pretty good

I'd like it if he used it more sparingly. I know, "get your poo poo in" and all, but doing it every match makes it kind of silly when it's more of a counter-move than anything.

Ambrose's top rope elbow drop is good when it's an elbow but it's often not and is terrible.

I'm 99% sure we have an Ambrose/Reigns final incoming.

I'm 75% sure one of the two will turn.

I'd say I'm riding on a 65%/35% certainty that Dean and Roman turn, respectively. Dean is the more obvious and likely choice, no doubt, but I wouldn't call a Roman turn impossible. Commentary, Cole in particular, made SUCH a point of talking about Reigns sticking it to HHH that I'm wondering. That and the fact that Ambrose's promo after his match really drove home that he had no interest in fitting the mold makes an Ambrose turn make less sense, whereas Roman said nothing.

Like I said, put a gun to my head and I'm saying Ambrose sells out, but that doesn't mean I'm positive, and that's exciting. And I'm cool with either turn as long as Dean doesn't turn and lose anyway. Feels pretty good, man. ::)

I tend to bet on "nothing interesting will happen" when it comes to WWE booking, so I think Reigns will beat Ambrose clean, they will face off for a few minutes, then Ambrose will shake his hand and they'll go back to being Best Buddies Forever.

Then Roman will feud with Big Show and Ambrose will have a midcard feud with, oh lets say Stroman

That or becoming the new corporate stooge makes the turn that much more dastardly.

I kind of hope Dean turns because it would be cool to have all 3 Shield guys with a World Title reign before Mania 32.

Neither Roman nor Dean turning make sense, so Roman will beat Owens in the final due to Triple H, Ambrose, and Orton in a sling interfering, and form Evolu-SHIELD.

It was cool that they put a divas title contract signing in the main event. It wasn't really any worse than any other contract signing, other than it feeling like they were just kinda saying lines instead of having a conversation/argument. The brawl at the end was nice.

Wasn't as good as the women's title signings in NXT, but still pretty neat to see the go-home episode of Raw end on the women.

I don't hate Roman but yeah his offense leaves a lot to be desired.At the same time I don't know how it could be improved - he has no power moves he can do on heavyweights/Dolph Ziggler, and since his gimmick is being explosive he can't add holds to his repertoire

Ambrose can turn heel without joining the authority. Never doubt Triple H ignoring recent heel actions in order to try to get a babyface reaction, even as a corporate suit against a cool rebel.

Yeah, I'm operating under the assumption that they're going to have Roman beat Dean and Dean do the "AW DANGIT well alright buddy you're the man" handshake and hug to try to blunt anyone being mad about it. I would be quite happy to be wrong.

Same here. I found the match with Cesaro to be incredibly boring until the end. Cesaro looked good and all, but there was no rhythm or flow to the match at all. I haven't been watching Raw regularly, though, so I don't know if this is totally a Roman thing or just Roman and Cesaro not having chemistry.

Speaking of power moves, though, I did get a kick out of JBL telling everybody at home to try doing the one-arm power bomb before Cole quickly jumped in with "DON'TTRYTHISATHOME!"
