REDDIT

Kickoff with Chris Jericho's highlight reel. He says this will be the last Highlight Reel on Raw since he promises to beat Owens this Sunday and move to Smackdown, but it doesn't matter if it's Raw, Smackdown, or Southpaw Region Wrestling the friends of Jericho will support him. The guest for the Highlight reel is none other than Chris Jericho himself. Jericho says that Owens is not the face of America and is going to put him on the list again when he is interupted by the Miz and Maryse. Miz says that since he and his wife arrived Raw has been their show. Miz informs Jericho that the highlight reel is canceled and that it has been replaced with Miz TV and he has the stage crew get rid of the Jeritron and gt the Miz TV set up. Before Miz can start however he is interrupted by Dean Ambrose. Ambrose thinks no one wants to watch Miz TV so he gets the stage hand to set up the Ambrose Asylum set instead with quests Chris Jericho and Miz and Maryse. Dean puts asides his history with Jericho and wishes him luck against Kevin Owens. Jericho still asks for the $15,000 that Dean owes him for destroying the old light up jacket so Dean gives him a gift of a new hand made one with Christmas tree lights. Miz objects to it and says the jacket of that quality represents how Dean just slacks off and disgraces the Intercontinental title. Miz feels he deserves gifts and thanks for simply being on Raw. Dean gives the Miz Dirty Deeds for his troubles and Jericho puts Maryse on The List.

Backstage Kurt Angle has his phone call interrupted by the Miz who is angered over Jericho and Ambrose ruining Miz TV. Angle tells Miz to find a partner since he will face both Dean and Jericho in a tag match tonight.

Before his dumpster match Braun calls the entire audience and Roman Reigns trash. Backstage Kurt asks Kalisto if he is sure he wants to go through with this who says he has to fight for his pride. After the match Braun becomes enraged and destroys Kalisto. Braun throws Kalisto's lifeless body into the dumpster, shuts the lid, and drags it up the ramp. Once he is at the stage officals try to stop Braun but they are ineffective. Strowman locks the dumpster with Kalisto inside and pushes it off the stage. Kalisto is treated by EMTs and is stretchered off.

Wyatt says he has not forgiven Orton for burning the compound and that he will feel his suffering inside the House of Horrors. Bray says he will use Randy's pain and suffering to be reborn.

Backstage Samoa Joe is with Gallows and Anderson and they promise to thoroughly destroy Seth Rollins and Enzo and Cass tonight. Joe says he will punish Seth at Payback for what he did to Triple H and Stephanie at Wretlemania.

Before the 6 man tag Samoa Joe and Gallows and Anderson take out Enzo and Cass. Seth rushes down to try and even the odds after Enzo is taken out with a magic killer. Angle doesn't want it to be a handicap match so he gives Seth and Cass a new team member with Finn Balor.

Alexa Bliss goes to the ring and talks about how everyone on Raw comes out and talks, some about who they want to beat, why they will be champion, while others like Bayley talks about their childhood dreams and it makes her want to puke. Bayley comes out and gives Alexa respect for becoming number 1 contender but doesn't appreciate how she wants to talk behind someone's back instead of saying it to their face. Bayley says she will put all her effort into walking out of Payback in her hometown as champion. Alexa revels in the fact that she can beat Bayley in front of her friends and family. Bliss takes pity on Bayley for being so sheltered and says she will end the dream on Sunday. Sasha interrupts which Alexa berates Sasha saying she is always helping Bayley. Sasha reminds Bliss that she stole the victory last week and she wants a match with Bliss right now. Alexa tries to back out of the match but gets punched by Sasha for her troubles.

Backstage Dean is trying to patch things up with Jericho before their tag match and asks to be taken off the list. Jericho refuses saying no one can be taken off the list and he still doesn't fully forgive him over the Asylum match and destroying the light up jacket. Chris reconsiders since he brought him the new jacket and takes him off the list. As soon as Dean is out of the room he gets put back on the list.

On the Payback kick-off show Enzo and Cass will face Gallows and Anderson, and there will be a special Miz TV with Finn Balor.

Backstage Curtis Axel and Heath Slater are going to be interviewed about Marine 5 when the Miz tries to get them as their partner. They both refuse and Heath says he already has a partner and Rhyno shows up and tries to offer Maryse a cracker which shes slaps out of his hands. A stage hand gives Miz a note from someone saying he'll be his partner tonight.

After Apollo's match Titus O'neil goes into the ring to celebrate with him.
Backstage Aries is trying to get Kurt Angle to let him add a "twist" to the main event of 205 live. Kurt runs into The Miz who says he has a partner as the Drifter walks by but Miz says that isn't the partner. Angle wishes him luck but Miz doesn't think he needs it.

Miz tries to introduce his tag partner but he doesn't show causing Miz to try and cancel the match but Kurt comes down to stop him saying it was his responsibility to find a partner and make sure that he showed up so Miz will have to be in a handicap match. Before Dean can send Miz through an announce table Bray Wyatt appears and delivers a Sister Abigail to Dean Ambrose on the titantron

Stop putting Wyatt in everything. The guy loving sucks

Smackdown Results
  • The show opened with Renee Young trying to interview Shinsuke Nakamura, only to be interrupted by Dolph Ziggler who took over. Ziggler mocked Shinsuke and said he was a freak from Japan who used to be Michael Jackson. Shinsuke mocked Ziggler, called him a jackass and fought him off and scared him out of the ring.

  • AJ Styles defeated Baron Corbin despite interference from Kevin Owens, who was on guest commentary. After the match Corbin and Owens assaulted AJ who was saved by Sami Zayn. Owens managed to blindside Sami and then hit AJ with the Pop-Up Powerbomb.

  • Backstage, Charlotte claimed that gold runs through her veins and tonight she will defeat Naomi for the Women's Title and prove she is the greatest superstar in WWE history.

  • American Alpha defeated the Colons in 5 minutes and 17 seconds. Breezango will face the Ascension later in the night and if they can beat that time they become the new Number One Contenders to the Uso's tag titles.

  • Rusev did a pre-taped segment criticizing Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan, and claimed he won't appear on Smackdown unless he gets a title shot at Money in the Bank.

  • Becky Lynch was interviewed about Charlotte and said they don't always agree on the methods, but she does agree with Charlotte's drive to go straight for the title. Nattie's crew (Tamina, Carmella and Ellsworth) demanded to know whose side Becky was on.

  • Randy Orton defeated Erik Rowan in a No-DQ match. Afterwards he cut a promo warning Bray that even though he doesn't know what a House of Horrors match is, he's sure he will be able to turn it into a nightmare for Bray. Jinder Mahal came out infuriated that Randy was overlooking him and insisted he had more class and style than anybody in the arena including Orton. It broke down into a brawl but Orton was jumped by the Bollywood Boys and Jinder came out on top. During the break, Jinder and the boys jumped into a giant stretch limo and left with Jinder popping out the sunroof showing off the stolen belt.

  • Breezango defeated The Ascension with 2 minutes and 36 seconds to spare, becoming the new Number 1 Contenders to the Usos tag team titles.

  • Charlotte vs Naomi for the Women's Title went to a No-Contest when Nattie's crew attacked both after a lengthy match. The crowd chanted for Becky and there was a minute left in the show (handily represented by a countdown for Ninja Warrior) but she never showed up, and they played nothing but replays for the beatdown before showing Naomi and Charlotte down and out while Nattie and her crew headed up the ramp.

Someone posted on reddit that he has a literal 30% win rate in WWE which is just...mind boggling. It makes sense that no one gives a poo poo about the guy.

That probably includes house shows so that's probably in line with any other main event heel

People are going to be like "but house shows, of course he'd look like a loser", forgetting that the literal only PPV everyone definitely watches a year is Mania, and he's been in 4 of them, wrestled in 3 and managed a wrestler in the fourth



0-4. That is everyone's history with Bray. No wins when it matters most and everyone's watching

Because he's the new Undertaker, so he doesn't get hurt by losing. Because Undertaker was well known for constantly losing.

He still looks like a loser because he loses every feud, but the winrate thing is absolutely because of houseshows

given that they quietly removed the belt stip from the dumb match with boring randy i think he has a non-zero chance to win

granted its a between 0 and 0.00001% chance and i cant care anymore about bray

Like, here's a list of Bray's accomplishments between Mania 32 and Mania 33:
- Pinned New Day when they were in their record setting reign.
- Pinned Randy Orton
- Pinned Roman Reigns, became a Sole Survivor
- Won the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. Was not in the match when they lost the championships.
- Got to the final three in the Royal Rumble, helped Randy Orton win.
- Pinned John Cena and AJ Styles clean to win the WWE Championship
- Pinned John Cena clean again to retain the WWE Championship, AFTER a beatdown by Luke Harper.
- In the entire year between 32 and 33, he was pinned clean once.

That's it.

That's the biggest push they're ever gonna give him. They protected him and they built him for an entire year and it still ended with the same result and now he has absolutely no credibility once again. Even if he wins the Whorehouse match, who cares, it's non-title and he's immediately going into a feud with Balor. Balor's not losing his first feud back after missing seven months. And Brock's holding the Universal Title all year so Vince can have his Brock/Roman wet dream match.

This Wrestlemania was essentially their last chance to put Bray over as a legitimate main eventer and they chose not to. Window's closed. He's never gonna get that high again.

Bray might be my favorite wrestler in WWE and I just couldn't give a poo poo. I don't want to watch 3 hours of raw just to see him talk. I don't give a gently caress about the cool poo poo he does on weekly TV just so he can be chumped out at a PPV. His whole title run killed me on him. It started so strong only for him to lose at Wrestlemania while using his spooky swamp magic. Then he gets traded to raw without his stable and somehow the cult master is OK with this? His gimmick makes no loving sense anymore.
