BRAUN took an F5, then got smashed with the briefcase and a chair brandished by a human moose. The final shot was of Roman celebrating on the turnbuckle while BRAUN could be seen down by the entrance ramp lying on his side struggling to even get back up.

I think they mean "What's gonna stop him from just immediately cashing in on Roman on Raw tomorrow."

no because the writers suck and roman can't act

also hes gonna do the standard poo poo about how hard he worked and how he proved this is his yard when he shoulda just carbon copied edge, won with an opportunistic spear, grabbed the belt, and took off past a down braun.

If SummerSlam didn't do the trick you should probably see a specialist.

So they are going to feed Demon Finn to Roman now, right? Or will they just chump out KO in another feud?

Is there a single credible heel on Raw? Lots of turns coming up!

I think we can all agree that it's at least a good thing that Brock no longer has the title, hopefully Roman only has the title for a little while before losing it

He's going to beat Okada's record.

I'm assuming Roman will say that BRAUN got hosed over, and as Roman is a REBELLIOUS WORKHORSE TM he knows what that is like, so he's going to offer BRAUN the chance that Brock would never give him at whatever the next PPV is (Hell in a Cell?).

Still mad about Becky, people are confusing wwe turning her heel with giving her a push and not immediately making her into a coward who won’t win the big belt (see nak heel run, Sami heel run). She was a babyface the crowd actually liked damnit why can’t they push her as a face.

WWE promising like 4 new exciting potential outcomes in a row from the main event and giving none of them and running out of there with the strap on roman, like a doublecross while the crowd are still confused about it was hilarious though.

what i dont understand is if they're gonna do a "lets have a clean match" thing with roman and braun, why not have braun drop the case to KO so that it's still out there as a threat?

Also I'm holding off on saying Becky is turning heel until she actually starts tagging with other heels/attacking other babyfaces. Remember Sasha/Bayley? Look how that panned out.

THE LIAR
Quick and dirty rundown of my opinions that I know everybody gives a poo poo about
Rusev vs. Almas - didn't watch.
Cedric vs. Gulak - jesus christ, Cedric's reign has become completely dire. Ali should've won at Wrestlemania. Also, the finish of the match was totally botched.
B-Team vs. Revival - love to watch the champions retain and then see it get immediately buried by commentary. Raw tag team division is literally more dead than the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championships and one of those is on loving Yoshinobu Kanemaru.

Seth vs. Dolph - This match was loving boring as poo poo for like 80% of it but the last few minutes were pretty crunchy so whatever. Seth way overbumped in this match. I thought Dean was gonna betray him like three times during the postmatch.
New Day vs. Mallet Muchachos - New Day way overbumped for this. Xavier doing an elbow drop to the floor for a loving DQ finish from the foam hammers is ridiculous. Everybody here worked their asses off but gently caress this match.
Strowman vs. Owens - :lol: that video package made Owens a total babyface and then he just got murdered. Incredible. At least it's a clean finish?!
SD Women's - Holy cow, this sucked. Slow and boring and then they just tickle you enough to make you think Becky's winning and then snatch it all away. And then the loving heel turn. That they're gonna have to walk back within three months for their stupid 4HW vs 4HW match? What a bunch of loving nonsense. Carmella did a cool dive though. Good for you, Carmella.
Joe vs. AJ - This started out really slow too (sort of a theme of the night!) but got pretty hot. Full points to AJ's family for actually selling Joe's promo, Shane's lovely kids could take a couple cues from Anney. I really liked the ending but I wish it had been on like SmackDown, not on SummerSlam.
Miz vs. Bryan - Exactly what I expected, but I guess Miz upped his game a bit for this one. Still a pretty slow and ultimately boring match, tbh. Still hoping Bryan leaves in the face of literally all the evidence. The lesson here is, never toxx on WWE doing right by one of their babyfaces. :v:
Balor vs. Corbin - Unironic MotN.
Nakamura vs. Hardy - I didn't watch any of this because I was honestly kinda drifting off trying to watch it so I just got up and walked around my house for a bit.
Rousey vs. Bliss - This was everything I wanted and was pure catharsis for two years of watching Bliss bury all the wrestlers I actually like. Bellas can gently caress off though.
Brock vs. Roman - :lol: you gotta respect a well-executed con. Using Braun to stop people from making GBS threads on the main event and then just screwing him over at the end was a stroke of genius, but even then all they could do was run a 6 minute match where Roman didn't even pin Brock clean. What a joke of a main event. It's perfectly fitting that such a horrible neverending storyline finally ends in such an unsatisfying stupid way. And btw I'll just say it again in case this didn't drill the point home: Braun is never, ever, ever getting that title.

(watch Braun cash in succesfully tomorrow so now THE CHASE can start over again)

Saying it might turn out like another very badly booked feud (if you can call it that?)with terrible heel/face dynamics is not much of a consolation!

Ronda match was good though, glad they kept it simple and Alexa ate poo poo.

It's main roster WWE. So it's par for the course at this point. I can't remember the last time they booked an actual solid GOOD feud from start to finish.

Not counting NXT, I think Jericho & KO was the last one which was good from the very start to the very end. I'd be tempted to throw Goldberg & Lesnar in there too, because as silly as it was, it was the exact kind of silly those two needed and could make work.

They're certainly not numerous. I wish WWE would learn to give an angle one clean ending, rather than have everything drag on for two PPVs after interest has died, but even NXT is starting to fall for that one.

after everything, they really should have just done it at wrestlemania and gotten it out of the way. but i suspect keeping lesnar as champion was probably an important piece to negotiating the tv rights deals with nbc and fox.
