Mustafa Ali will win the cruiserweight title in Saudi Arabia. Because WWE is run by Vince McMahon.

That’s why he didn’t win tonight.

there"s like 7 title matches on the show. At least 1 has to change.

Roman's WrestleMania booking almost seems like a secret grudge Vince has against the Wild Samoans because they keep flying them in to watch Roman lose in more and more depressing circumstances.

Nia's a cousin of some kind right? So they at least got a win somewhere this time.

Every time I see Goatse, I think of Maureen. That's the last thing I saw. Before I blacked out. The sight of that man's anus.

This was still better than Mania 32. That show was an absolute loving slog and there wasn't a moment of joy to be found in it.

Nia is apparently really close to Rock's mother, who's her aunt. I don't know if she's her real aunt or just like that thing people do where an older cousin is called an aunt/uncle though. Internet doesn't seem to know the exact link between them.

Bray Wyatt was a belt pillow so that Randy Orton could get repaid for getting murdered by Brock Lesnar by having the worst match at mania and then having the worst feud of the year before losing to loving Jinder.

I just realized what a mess the WWE championship has become.

I thought Mania was pretty consistently okay to good, with few high points and few low points. Rousey match was probably the best of the night, which is weird to say. Well, that's my take folks

I didn't watch WM this year but seeing the booking results made me regret it a little, because lol they certainly outcrazied the NXT show. I'm glad AJ got his win back and hope Nak going heel leads to beautiful things. Everything about the Taker squash, Brock winning, and Nicholas own because it's all completely loving insane

Crowning Roman at an event most people will be at work during is not how you show he's your top guy. They are in all likelihood hitting some sort of reset button on him either a character alignment change or a move to Smackdown I'd imagine.

Brock Lesnar will pass CM Punk’s modern-day record on Monday, 11 June 2018.

The Money in the Bank PPV will be held on Sunday, 17 June 2018 in Rosemont, IL, just outside of Chicago.

Five bucks says Brock holds until then JUST to break's Punk record, and then Lesnar drops it at SummerSlam, if not MitB.

This is probably it and it will backfire tremendously because the mention of it will just remind everyone of CM Punk.

Not to get all 'bloo bloo bloo :words:' about it, but I've been watching WWE's main roster poo poo for like 5 years now. Every raw, every smackdown, every ppv, even the lovely preshows. Had my Network sub since day one and kept it through all this poo poo.

Roman hadn't even finished his lame little walkout crap before I cancelled. I'm loving done. This awful booking has just killed any goddamn desire I have to stick around. I'm watching raw tonight, smackdown tomorrow, then binging the actually fun poo poo on the network, like the CWC and ride along, and then I'm done. gently caress this booking, I'll come back when vince is finally dead.

I'd absolutely take that bet, and I'd expect it to happen at MitB and involve a same-night cash-in after the match on Brock so that nobody gets that sweet "I'm a full-time wrestler and I beat Brock 1 on 1 clean for the title" rub. Plus Brock probably still wants to get back to UFC asap, so why wait until Summerslam to start that one year suspension for pissing hot?

Saint Freak posted:

This would be hilarious. Realistically the best of both worlds is that Heyman cuts that promo to open the show with Lesnar in the ring, Finn Balor insults him enough to get him to put the title on the line for one last time, and Finn beats him to be Universal Champion again.

I just can't picture Lesnar leaving without losing the title to someone in a match, although I would appreciate the symmetry of him entering the company to posts of vinceflex.jpg and burning money by losing to Cena on his first match back, and then creating very similar emotions when he leave by winning on his way out.
