The new Theme is pretty rad.

I would also like to point out that the lyrics go "You want more. You want More" a Big E Gyrates at me.

Roman isn't buried until he loses to Sheamus. On that note, who does Roman feud with now?

And the thing is this would be a perfect time to put Roman down in the midcard and maybe rebuild him properly.

So of course Seth will kill Finn and it'll be back to Face Roman chasing the evil authority figures.

But then again, maybe not. I really don't know what will win out, Vince's anger or his desire to force his will on the audience.

Hope for the best expect the worst, I guess.

Braun'll be squashing people until he hits Big Show/Mark Henry in a hoss off. Owens, I think, picks a fight with Reigns, who's deep in the self-doubt angle. Pins him clean and Roman continues to spiral into disbelief.

Aside from all the awesomeness of what happened, on a rewatch I'm pretty impressed by how well Cole and Graves are working together on commentary already. Cole actually injects the proper JR-ish enthusiasm and Graves stays back and gives him the room to go with it instead of shouting over him, they both stop for the ring announcement, Cole comes back in, Corey gives some color, they stop to let some crowd noise in, Cole comes back, Corey comes back with more color with the "dream of a ten year old girl," etc.

I mean, maybe it's just how much I think JBL is cancer on commentary, but this is night and day for me commentary wise.

Seth isn't the universal champ

he and Balor will be in the first match for to decide it

he got exempted because he's the heel who Steph likes

Supposedly he woulda beat Dean if Roman didn't interfere. I don't remember the match well enough to remember if Dean got pedigreed. Also he was the #1 draft pick so this is a semi reward, kinda like the opposite of Axel's reward.

He doesn't have the title, but since he didn't get pinned last night he got a bye to the match for the first title. Basically he is co-#1 contender with Finn and there's no current champ.

He didn't get pinned in the threeway and was their top draft pick (and is Steph's favorite), hence is automatically a contender. The tournament was for the other contendership. SummerSlam match decides if Seth or Finn gets the first title reign.

also good choice calling it the Universal title and not the WHC since that makes me think more of NEVER openweight and not going to gimp cruiserweights

Kind figured Chris "Elevating Other Talent" Jericho would be Orton's warm up matches before remembering Orton was on Smackdown. I guess Chris isn't doing anything either. Jericho vs Zayn feud maybe? Canadians fight forever.

Graves had a background in sports radio before wrestling so it's not surprising that he's a natural on commentary. I always liked him as color in NXT, glad he's doing well in that role on Raw even with Vince in his ear.

Y'all are making me really excited to watch this episode when I get home, I'm extremely confused.

Heel who Steph likes, lost the title to a cheapshot MitB cash in, wasn't pinned in the triple threat. Far better reasons to get a pass to a title shot than usual. Still has to beat Finn to get it, but he does (for once) deserve to be automatically in the match.

Evil Badman posted:

They've had good matches in the past, I'm fine with two guys who apparently have been punished for bullshit petty WWE reasons putting on solid 3-4 star matches in the midcard for a month or two.
