roster PPV. Well booked and the finishes made sense


KO Buried.
Demon Finn for no reason.
Orton thinking he had a US title money in the bank then just going back to the back.
Rousey squash / taunting a 5 time champ.


Yeah really well booked and sensical.

My god some of you over think the shite out of this.

It was an entertaining show and left some things open for future storylines. It was well done IMO.

I agree... how the frick do you completely bury two of your BEST heels in one night. Ok, you can argue Miz and S.Joe or Dolph as a better heel, maybe... maybe...

But no one is remotely close to Alexa Bliss as a female heel. That's fricked up booking there.

If you remember, although it could be wrong, Hell in a Cell promo material has Kevin Owens faces Roman Reigns, so I don't know about how buried.

Also, we might have our next WWE power couple:

Idk, Luke may be thinking long term. As the great Tormund once said:



Vince already has a contract written up for their kid

I am actually really surprised Alexa lost straight up last night. I figured there would be some form of a DQ and Rousey would win at Evolution. I guess I would have been wrong.

I thought she might well lose but I didn't expect a squash.

I mean that was basically the only 2 options, I know it's scripted but you couldn't have Alexa win cleanly over Rousey. I thought it would have been a DQ also.

Yea I know Alexa was not going to win straight up but I definitely did not expect them to crown Rousey last night.

Would people have cared about the story line for another two months?

WWE didn't bring in Rousey to not have the title.

I wonder if they were gonna do a DQ with a heel turn from Nattie then dropped it when her dad died?

I didn't get the Owens squash either. I mean I get that it's to make Strowman look strong if he's about to be pushed to the moon, but then why the buildup for the past few weeks showing Strowman losing in various ways? Why not tease several false DQ's and make the match somewhat competitive? Strowman could still have looked super strong.

Yea I didn't get that either, someone on here last night said Vince is pissed at him for having a big belly, I don;t know how true that is though.

Crazy to me that grown adults take so much of this to heart and bitch so much about the story lines and booking.

Guys, this product is not aimed at you. It’s aimed at kids and young adults. It’s not that serious. I watch because I watched it as a young kid and bought everything they were throwing at me hook, line, and sinker. But I grew up and I understand how it all works now. Now, I have a 6 year old son that loves it and we watch it together quite a bit. (He’s infatuated with Andre the Giant).

Learn to take this show with a grain of salt and take it for what it is and who it’s written for, for the most part....you’ll enjoy it much better when you stop taking it so seriously.

We have an entire movie/tv board with people bitching all the time about acting, storylines, etc etc.. this is no different. Don't get pissed when someone expects better from an entertainment show when people literally get paid to do that for other movies and shows too
