GOD'S FAVORITE CHAMPION

Nice that they had a pic with the belt ready to go (i know he's a former champ but still funny how fast it came up)

So the top raw guy (storyline power level-wise) vs the face of smackdown from day 1. This champ vs champ match makes... sense.

In storyline, why wouldn't you have the picture ready in case, y'know, he won the match.

Google CM Punk Universal Champion. It's not hard to photoshop a belt onto a guy's shoulder. :v:

If Jinder gets the belt back next week, reigns #30 in rumble will be topped.

nah, it's setting up gable as a heel since he went under the ring and hid there after he did the chop block.

So they didn't put Nakamura over, they were determined to keep the belt on Jinder until the week before the ppv they suddenly realised the Brock match will be loving terrible so they hotshot it to AJ on a random Smackdown with no build.

A part of be thinks they're going to put the title back on Jinder right after Survivor Series because either Brock didn't want to work with Jinder, or the WWE knew Brock vs Jinder would be poo poo and wanted to put on something better.

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
Have AJ beat Brock and unify the titles literally with a staplegun.

Then Brock fucks off to UFC and we don’t have a champion that appears once every few months for 15 minutes.

They're all on WATCHESPN/online/ESPN3, and also ESPN has enough networks that they will be constantly replaying it EVERY DAY somewhere for weeks. Also, I'd bet it airs on ABC some random time in the next week or two.

I think the suspension is up but he has to go through 6 months of USADA testing before he can fight

Tonight's a good reminder that WWE scripted Paige to bury Reid Flair in a promo to "get heat," and two weeks later turned her face.
