[Bob Loblaw]

David Otunga and Byron Saxton switch shows. Expect Saxton to be bullied by JBL.

I was looking forward to that "House of Horrors" match between Wyatt and Orton, leaving me hope they'd put the belt back on Wyatt...

But now with Wyatt moving to Raw, you can't have both of the "big belts" on one show, so WWE once again showed their hand and gave us the result ahead of time...

My assumption is "house of horrors" is just an Ambrose Asylum type match, cage with weapons maybe?

if kofi is out for a bit can BRAD MADDOX just join new day???

We've seen enough tag teaming with Maddox & Xavier Woods . . .

I would assume that PPV lineups will change with people moving off of shows.

Owens to Smackdown seems too predictable. I would assume that Jericho beats him at the next PPV then vacates the belt, and the powers that be award the belt to Smackdown where they have a tourney/battle royale for it.

Or Owens just beats Jericho again, which is what will happen.

I found it odd that Balor had a throw away match with Hard Body. I think Finn is headed to Smackdown along with Owens, Zayn, Charlotte and Dana Brooke since they need a face woman to replace James.

I noticed that also. When he "throws" Reigns off the loading dock, the stretcher ends up far away and turned the other way. When they come back to Roman he's close to the edge and the stretcher has been turned.

It was a good job of editing though.

I think Balor will stay on Raw. They will continue the storyline of him being the first Universal Champion, never lost it and eventually getting his rematch. Also they setup the Bray-Finn storyline last night, now that bray is coming to Raw.

Jindar best hope he still has a job after being so stiff with Balor last night. Idk what the hell he was thinking, but that damn forearm/elbow he threw damn near knocked Balor out. Wouldn't be surprised if he has a concussion, I really hope not because I'd hate to see him miss time again because of some klutz in the ring.

Heenan will be managing Brain from "Pinky and the Brain" for his upcoming match against Roman.

Now that McIntyre is back in NXT, I want to see the 3MB reunited.

When Roman is being strapped into the gurney, you hear Strowman grunting. There's a camera switch, from behind Braun, and then the camera stays with him for 30+ seconds after he takes the stretcher, pushes it off, and storms away. It's clear that those 30 seconds were pre-recorded and, unfortunately, Roman was not on the gurney.

Gonna say Enzo and Cass to Smackdown also. Just a hunch.

I'm not a fan of the strong style or stiff crap, but Looked like a normal forearm to me tbh.

Best part of Raw for me was the crickets that The Revival came out to. They'll be the Ascension 2.0 in no time

That pop for Bliss was nice but she needs to be better at handling cheers from people. Still a way to handle it and be a heel (ex: Jericho/owens)

Her rolling her eyes and saying she doesn't need their approval isn't gonna work. Great heels know how to work crowds and keep heat. She's green and is probably still handling popularity, she can use a mentor with it

Also, she needs to improve in the ring, fast

I hate, respect, applaud & want to be Dean Ambrose all at the same time. Congrats to both...Dean really out-kicked his coverage

so...only the "winner" of the US title match gets to stay on SD, way to telegraph the match the DBry...wonder whos gonna win now

and AJ has one of the greatest years ever from a work/wrestling standpoint...makes the bosses son look like a Million $$ at WM...

I'm guessing its just a storyline filler, no way he wins tonight. Once Payback is over, the world title feud can start. Probably a triple threat soon for the belt with the other 3.

[cdub6238]

also..how nice of American Alpha waiting until SD 2 weeks AFTER WM...to "invoke" their rematch clause...

cuz you know...why would they wanna do it at the next immediate time, and biggest PPV of the year...instead of some throwaway SD episode on free tv...

[cdub6238]

and the Colons debut on SD...to the same exact reaction they got on RAW...nobody gives a crap...but hype em up JBL lol

yay more Gronk time..because Mojo is useless w/o his rub

[DaKidder]

Think the Smackdown women's division is about to get a Queen......& a $BOSS$!
