It's always really sad when a wrestler comes out to give the "Actually this guy is COOL" speech. Not because I don't think those wrestlers actually have a good opinion of a guy like Reigns, they probably do, but ya gotta know it's character suicide to try to endorse the dude the crowd doesn't like. It's like when Bryan and Vinny were talking about the Uso's vs the Club and how the Uso's whose only current crime is being related to Reigns, are now heels for the audience, and will only be thought worse of because the announcers wont shut the gently caress up about Reigns during their match.

It was so hard watching Rollins try to get boos tonight.

I like raigns, he looks cool and have good matchs, i am being unironic. i also like John Cena over CM punk as a Chicagoan and his US title run was his best year of wrestling and was a better 2015 segment then diva gang battles and meme: the tag team.

Right now I'm banking on Ambrose winning MITB, cashing it in during a Reigns (c) v Rollins match and getting pinned by Rollins who becomes champ without pinning Reigns

oh my god if that actually happened i'd laugh so hard. I wouldn't even be mad that'd be the most creative way to make the mitb holder look like garbage that you couldn't be mad.

So Seth is a heel in general, apart from anytime he interacts with Roman when he gets cheered. The crowd won't boo him over Roman it makes no sense

Lol if you thought Seth was coming back as a face. If you thought that, you clearly don't know much about how WWE works.

Roman will be the great face (in theory) beating all these inferior wrestlers while they all talk about how great he is. This is the Rise of Cena 2. All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again.

I actually thought they'd do a Kevin Owens type thing, where he starts his first show back as a face, and then makes a sudden heel turn out of near the end of it. They sort of tried to do this with his promo on Raw, but that backfired the second Roman appeared.

Surprised KO beat AJ completely clean last night. I thought "ok what would they do with kevin since Zayn is already in a match for MITB" but apparently that isn't what they had in mind. No clue where AJ goes from here if it isn't some program for the IC belt involving Finn Balor.

if Dean Ambrose wins MITB I'd strongly consider just quitting watching altogether. The thought of someone so loving bad at wrestling being the teased cash-in over all those other guys would be awful. On the other hand if Jericho won I think it'd be the greatest thing ever just for how amazingly stupid it would be

All I want is a face at the top of the card who I actually want to cheer for. In the past 10 years that has happened for about 3 months and then Daniel Bryan became a farm. It's just exhausting watching people you don't like to watch continuously win. If you told me 10 years ago that by now I'd only half watch the PPVs and just read summaries online I wouldn't have believed you, but here you go, WWE managed to kill my enthusiasm.

If a company hasn't given you what you want for 10 loving years and you still watch it/give it money, then the company would be idiotic to give even the slightest gently caress about you.

If Dean Ambrose got MITB I would be happy because it would probably be an excuse for him to get back to hiding in boxes and other things that made me love him.

If Kevin Owens wins money in the bank I would be happy because it would probably be an excuse for him to beat people up and yell more often.

I feel pretty good about this whole thing.

Man whoever beats Roman is going to get the biggest face pop of all time isn't he?

Face Seth would've been a good opportunity to end the Roman experiment and have KO with the briefcase chasing Seth would be cool. I like heel Seth enough but it doesn't make a lot of sense in this situation. Oh well.

Cool and good idea: Sami winning MITB, having to deal with KO cockblocking him at every opportunity, and beating a weakened Roman for the title.

Yeah whenever Roman loses the title it's going to be gently caress finish bullshit that makes the winner look terrible. Also I'm not surprised that Seth is heel, just disappointed because his offense is tailor-made for babyface spots.

tie between this, his clapping and thumbs up for AJ's missed dropkick, and the RUNNING START into a roll and punch were all brilliant. Somebody in management loving loves KO because he's everywhere and we're all the more richer for it.

It's going to work particularly well when Roman goes over all the no stars they've built up in the past ten years.
