You'd think they'd have the ring able to handle the weight of the competitors by now. The ref's fall over the rope was amazing though.

The ref bumps on those are always the best!

Good! At least "Evil Doink" isn't champ anymore.

Ok this is my new favorite nickname for Husky Harris......the PPV was predictable as all heck. The ref bump at the end was downright magical to sell the ring "imploding".

Unfortunately they booked themselves into a corner, or at least Vince did.

Was initially suppose to be the rematch all along, til Vince ripped up the Raw script and inserted Lee.

No way he was gonna lose his first PPV. Made Orton and Drew look like chumps as Drew had to sneak a win with a backslide after long match and Lee wins easily n clean in short match.

Why??????

Also my exact post after last PPV. Yes Roman was suppose to be champ. Sure Braun n Fiend feud was meh. But that booking is utterly ridiculous. He didnt have to compete for a title shot or blah blah, was just handed the damn title, and he didnt even freaking get involved until last minute, yes i know heel tactics and all, but doesnt make it any less stupid.

Also why did they show Alexa in the back, twice, and do nothing?

Shame, for as quick n shoddy as it was put together, PPV was actually enjoyable until the end minus few botches.

Also, what happened to Anti i mean Retribution?

packman80 · 08-31-2020, 05:52 AM

No shock Reigns steps right back in and in a week is made champ again.

Lee beating Orton pretty much crushes any build up Orton had.

It seems Vince right now is part of the BLM in WWE and trying to push all his black wrestlers to big victories and pushes right now.

This PPV just goes to show it's more of the same crapfest that no one will care to watch and it's ratings will still be bad.

My thoughts exactly!

Happy Lashley won the US Title, but still hoping he gets a run as WWE or Universal Champion soon.

Big E winning can start his singles push, so that match did its job.

Shayna & Nia as champions will be more entertaining than more of the same crap from Banks & Bayley.

Baron Corbin could be one of the most boring wrestlers of all time. Anyone who feuds with him ends up stuck wrestling him for the next 6-8 months. I pity Matt Riddle.

Lee/Orton was really good. And the loss won't hurt Orton or keep him from another match with Drew. Orton can just come up with some reason as to why he lost, like every other heel does. Plus it's Orton, he's always a threat to the title.

This Mysteros/Seth & Murphy feud has dragged on for far too long.

Main event was not good. Braun and Bray have had 4 awful matches now, so hopefully this will be the last for awhile. Roman waiting til the very end to come out only helps his heel turn so that was smart.

Overall pretty good PPV. Most matches were enjoyable to watch.

Master Shake · 08-31-2020, 03:51 PM

I'm confused. Is Roman Reigns' new gimmick to be Brock Lesnar?

Rumors floating Vince wants to push Lee because he sees a lot in him so he asked Orton to lose clean and push him. Orton is not exactly a spring chicken, putting over newer stars should be the responsibility of the older stars and that is exactly what Orton did.

A much needed heel turn, Lesnar MO with going late into the match and they wanted to give him the title before. I would say a Lesnarish heel but with the ability to not gas himself in 12 seconds and being only able to do suplexes and F5s the entire match.(granted the spear gets old after a while)

packman80 · 08-31-2020, 06:50 PM

So did WWE pair Reigns with Heyman because reports out today Lesnar contract with WWE is done and perhaps the WWE does not want to pay millions to Lesnar when it won't help in the ratings.

He also lives in Canada now which makes it hard to come back

Seeing reports that Brock Lesnar is leaving WWE. They removed all of his merch from their website. What a shockwave that would be if he showed up on AEW

If AEW wants to pay millions for a guy who will only show up at their PPVs and get gased in 2 minutes let them.

mnvikingstwins · 08-31-2020, 06:57 PM

Mauro gone and now Wade Barrett negotiating full time commentary job

packman80 · 08-31-2020, 07:07 PM

Ok why are they keep doing Dominic Mysterio vs Rollins? Mysterio can't wrestler his way out of a wet paper bag and pairing him with Rollins is a waste of Rollins who could wrestle anyone and it would be a better match.

packman80 · 08-31-2020, 07:20 PM

WWE: Ok we have Keith Lee in a match tonight what jobber can we put him with who can help him look good. Dolph Ziggler walks past and everyone in the room

I'm ok with the heel turn it just seems they turned Reigns into exactly Brock Lesnar. With having Paul Heyman as his advocate and even with his new shirt which feels eerily like Brock's eat, sleep, conquer, repeat merch. It just seems they rebranded Brock into Roman.

BlowoutBuzz · 08-31-2020, 09:52 PM

Peyton just did Billie Kay dirty on Raw Underground ... such a shame.

(Posted half-joking ... but it was odd.)

Actually, first thing I thought of was Austin's:

Arrive
Raise Hell
Leave

Shame they didn't give him something original.

Jericho · 09-01-2020, 07:27 AM

Not sure it made any sense breaking up The iiconics. They have so few teams already, and Im not sure either one will do much as a singles wrestler.

How many times are we going to see The Street Profits vs Andrade & Garza?

I thought the main event was good, and was glad they pinned Rollins and not Lee.

I read somewhere the WWE is high on Peyton Royce and have plans to push her as a singles wrestler.

marl1220 · 09-01-2020, 10:13 AM

So how long are they going to drag out this Retribution thing?

She does 2-3 moves. They better teach her some more moves or she will end up being another Alicia Fox or Dana Brooke.
