-Show opens with Seth basking in rapturous applause and thanking us for all the get well cards :lol: jk he threw all that in the trash and burned it. He's back to get HIS WWE title back from Roman Reigns. He takes the YOU PEOPLE promo about as far as it can go but still can't get the crowd to cheer for Roman. Thankfully Shane is out to play Paul Heyman and spare us from a Reigns promo and make their match for MitB

-Sheamus/Sami is our first MitB qualifying match. Sami seems puzzled wrestling someone paler than him. He wins with Heckuva Kick.

-Sheamus attacks some random CAW backstage, mutter something about "drat millennials, fella"

-New Day are here to celebrate their retaining the belt at EC, and they have a cake so of course someone needs to be pied in the face with it. Big E stalks ringside and the announcers, then Social Outcasts jump them.

-Social Outcasts/New Day is next. New Day wins, the Bo Train pulls out of the station, Heath gets pied with the cake.

-No I don't care if getting "pied" with "cake" makes no sense I'm running with it.

-Miz/Cesaro MitB qualifier is next. Cesaro wins a fun match with the uppercut/neutralizer combo. Sub Zero would be proud.

-Seth is backstage for a quick interview with Renee. He spots Steph offscreen and is denied the bro hug. Apparently his relationship with The Authority has changed and is no longer what it was.

-Jericho/CAW is next. Jericho wins with the code breaker.

-Corbin interviewed backstage and Ziggler calls him out for being a bad technical wrestler. He replies he's trying his best to channel Chris Benoit with the badly receding hairline. Everyone else awkwardly backs out of frame.

-Enzo is back! He and Cass cut a promo on the Dudleys, followed by a quick Cass/Bubba match. Cass wins, they celebrate, no dimes can be found.

-Charlotte promo is next. She welcomes Dana as her new BFF and thanks...herself. She calls her dad an absentee father who she let share her spotlight, now she is the dirtiest player in the game and he can :frogout:. Ric tearfully leaves the ring. Hold the door, Ric. HOLD IT!

-Dolph/Dean is the next MitB qualifier. Dolph shows Corbin how it's done by jobbing clean.

-Ric shares a handshake with Arn and walks out the exit :cry:

-AJ is out to tell us ROMAN IS THE BEST EVER, PLEASE LIKE HIM, buuuut, he would have won if Gallows, Anderson, and the Usos hadn't interfered. Gallows and Anderson take exception to this and let him know YOU'VE CHANGED, MAN! AJ tells him they need space, but they can still be buds. Gallows & Anderson don't take lightly this violation of the bro code and end it. AJ tells them to leave his ring.

-AJ/Owens is our main event and last MitB qualifier for the night. During the match Owens teases an over the top rope spot only to roll out of the ring and just punch him instead, proving once and for all he is a goon. Owens wins with a pop up power bomb. See, now, AJ, if you had ya boys you woulda been in there, but ya had to go and do what you did.

SamuraiFoochs posted:

Also again I will say if Seth is overtly heel tonight I will eat my words.

SamuraiFoochs posted:

They've set up two prospective feuds for Roman: Styles, who's 100% face, and Bray, who it seems was cemented as a face tonight. After those two or maybe even before, Seth will probably be back to reclaim the title he never lost, almost assuredly as a face.

SamuraiFoochs posted:

I don't think there's an "if" here. They planned to turn him even pre-injury and the chances of someone being a face after nearly a year off, especially someone as over as Seth, are almost 100% anyway.

SamuraiFoochs posted:

Wait does anyone other than that one doof honestly think Seth isn't returning as a face? Not only do injured guys come back face 95% of the time, they were planning a face turn for Seth pre-injury AND that Reddit insider reported it.

SamuraiFoochs posted:

Seth IS returning as a face though, and he IS gunning for his title. Neither of those is a question mark. And no, I think that "If they were gonna turn him they would've" argument is a fallacy.

SamuraiFoochs posted:

There's almost no way Rollins isn't face when he returns because injury return and Rollins's offense is tailor made for a babyface and Revise Rebuild Reclaim etc.

SamuraiFoochs posted:

Lots of times? Besides, there's no way Seth won't come back to a hero's welcome, so turning him is the obvious choice. He was already getting face pops as champ.

SamuraiFoochs posted:

I said he's a top five face and you're a massive dingus to think otherwise. Also you're an even bigger dingus to think they won't have Rollins be a face. Attention idiots: they were going to turn him EVEN BEFORE the injury.

TL;DR yes Seth is still a heel and no the company will never change

Also turns out Anderson/Gallows weren't the reason Styles couldn't win, he just can't win in general

It's 100% the first, although the indie darlings being fed to him will also happen in bunches. Don't be shocked if Finn and Nakamura fall to him this year, 2016's still young

Probably, and like I've said before, until people stop showing up and buying the Network in the end he's wholly justified.

I'm very much glad that AJ Styles is being shuffled down the card, and we now have room for wrestlers I like, like Baron Corbin, to be WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

Here's a link for anyone who feels different.
