I kept wondering why Rollins kept calling Kane out, turns out it was Demon King. Had me super confused

BoxBreaker72 · 08-16-2016, 01:36 AM

Awful show.

What is the purpose of giving away a match on the PPV for free on the raw go home show?

No logic at all is used anymore.

Nyfancam01 · 08-16-2016, 01:38 AM

these last few RAW episodes have really been trash.... like AWFUL.

Maybe the damn brand split was a very bad thing

AceGambit3 · 08-16-2016, 05:48 AM

Security needs to be quicker on fans jumping into the ring and what is it with fans entering ring when former SHIELD members are involved? This is like the 4th time in a couple years.

Good on Seth to play it off and work it into his promo but you could easily see it scared him a bit when he turned towards the camera and guy was right there.

As for rest of show, wasn't great but better than most of the garbage WWE was feeding us before brand split. I could have watched that Jeri-KO interview all night though.

Glad it wasn't just me thinking that. lol Sounded like "demon Kane" everytime he said it. Was kinda dumb to have the Demon thing on Raw, should have saved that for Summerslam. And I agree with whoever said it, that entrance does remind me of The Boogeyman entrance. And takes too damn long as well.

Heath Slater's been consistently one of the best guys on the microphone

mnvikingstwins · 08-16-2016, 11:00 AM

JeriKO used at least 8 different names in their interview with Tim Phillips

who wins Sunday... Finn or Seth??

Housemiller33 · 08-16-2016, 02:38 PM

Just confirmed that the October Smackdown PPV is coming to Sacramento and the new Golden 1 arena. Super pumped for this, as it's been a long time since we've had a live event in this area.

Agree 100% with this.

He's awesome!

roro17 · 08-16-2016, 02:45 PM

I don't see this brand split lasting too much longer.

As a super casual WWE fan...

I don't see how Balor doesn't win. If he loses, using this Demon gimmick, wouldn't that effectively kill him quickly?

Had he lost as his usual persona? Then you could build up to the Demon I suppose. That would make sense to me.

If he loses his first real match as the Demon? Then what the hell was the point?

Ty Hope · 08-16-2016, 03:40 PM

If Balor loses clean, it makes absolutely no sense at all. He should win if they are serious about creating a new superstar. Rollins can survive the loss.

sthoemke · 08-16-2016, 04:51 PM

Demon King sounds too much like Demon Kane...

Sauceman · 08-16-2016, 05:55 PM

The Broken Matt Hardy kayfabe interview on Jericho's podcast is absolute pure solid gold! Just listened, take the hour and enjoy fellas.

mnvikingstwins · 08-16-2016, 07:13 PM

That promo might finally be what turns Ziggler into a star

still miles better than any Reigns promo by far..."bumping uglies"

asujbl · 08-16-2016, 08:22 PM

I did find that grouping interesting...

Ambrose is from Cincinnati
Miz is from Cleveland
Ziggler is from Cleveland

Yeah, You can tell after Dolph dropped the line he knew it didn't make sense.

Wolves4Life · 08-16-2016, 10:53 PM

Heath actually got a pop in the backstage segment about getting a contract than Shane got booed for taking it away.

Not really, Reigns has proven when you let him do his own promo he's quite good.

Newbs · 08-16-2016, 11:12 PM

I kinda like Heath Slater bouncing back and forth between shows trying to get a job. Hopefully it leads to something for him.
