Then HHH can cash in the contract and beat Cena and Brock for the championship?

It's a shame they don't open it to retrieve the contract. If he had done that and not told anyone and it was opened LIVE ON PPV, it would be glorious.
I've always wondered this. Is the contract that's within the briefcase specifically written for the winner or is it a generic contract that anyone could cash in? Have they done a storyline where the briefcase is stolen and used by someone else?
Cena's belt scarf is the boss way to wear two belts.
That is the highlight of Cena's 15th Reign as Champion.
I mean, he is annoying as hell but the audience didn't respond. He had no heat when he won the title.
You can't be a great heel if you can't draw heat. No matter how annoying you are.

I thought I read somewhere here the next feud for Miz was with Sheamus so I don't think there's going to be any big Ziggler victory angle, maybe he'll get a win against Miz on Smackdown or Main Event or something.

They've done matches where the winner gets the briefcase/contract, so that makes me think their logic is it's in that person's name, but transferable.
It also explains how Sandow lost his and got a new one

The contract transferred from Kennedy to Edge, but that was after a match.

Didnt Edge steal someone's MiTB? I have a feeling that angle has been done before a few times.

steal, no, but he goaded Mr Kennedy into putting it on the line in a match which Edge then won (Kennedy was injured and was going to be out for too long).
which, to be fair, when he won the first one, he put it on the line in a match against Matt Hardy.
as far as I've always understood it, only the winner of the MITB can use the briefcase, unless they put the briefcase on the line in a match and lose it. then that next person becomes the official holder.
Honestly, I blame the way they did the match for that. Even the announcers missed the fact that Miz rolled out and was hiding for awhile. I doubt it conveyed well to the audience live and even if they did notice it (ring has 4 sides, all those bodies, vast majority missed it I imagine)....it's a stupid rule.
So was one foot being down by Sheamus not counting, but he didn't win, so whatever.
That was the best. I still remember going to a ... Smackdown, I think, in Philly. The circus was in town across the street, so they used that for his angle. If that was in your youtube link, apologies.
You can't see these, my time is now
Usos are awesome in the ring, why would that be a surprise?
Good tag team wrestlers have good match.

the 'both feet' rule has been inplace for ages ever since Shawn Michaels botched pulling himself back into the ring at the Royal Rumble that one time when he was meant to win it.
They typically aren't given longer matches to work. I really enjoyed their chemistry with the Wyatts. Lots of great back and forth action. The crowd had some huge pops.
It was cool because it potentially gave everyone a chance to be on and have it be of interest, rather than a dance contest or some fart segment. Heck, WMX8 had a lot of this.

Don't know why they edited out the best win in that show's series of exchanges, though:

The FunTime USA segment contains my favorite pro wrestling shot of all time: Crash going down the slide, the cameraman -following him down-, then keeping it in frame somehow just in time to see Crash get blasted with a cookie sheet. So good.
Especially since it was completely improved and the cameraman only did it to get down quicker

Naw brah. Last night they both looked like huge stars, the only reason they lost was because of Usos using twin powers for massive damage.

Goddam. Renee Young looks absolutely ravishing in that Kenta interview. Best thing in The E today.

That was not a botch.
I was watching this and thinking the exact same thing! One big thing missing currently in the WWE is spontaneous ad-libbed moments like this.

Harper will be a great singles. Rowan will probably suffer once the Wyatts are done.
I thought that was the best match of the night and I definitely thought they (as well as the Usos) looked strong. I just haven't seen any character development to justify that they would be fierce in the singles. All they do (aside from the rare 1 on 1 booking against whoever's facing Bray) is attack/interfere whoever Bray's opponent is. Maybe I just can't see it yet. I do love their ringwork so far though.

I'm waiting for the year at the rumble where Kofi lands on one foot and hops back to the ring.

He was a shitty worker when the Wyatt family started up, he's become pretty good over the past year so all in all it's a net benefit.

Huh. I always thought a terrible rule like that came into being as a piece of quick thinking in reaction to Shawn not quite pulling off that spot. Not something planned.

Hell Rowan has improved just in the last 3 months. He's gone from shit to just above mediocre in my eyes.

Nah, they like to add extra drama, so they did that and specifically didn't show Shawn's foot touch until after he came back in and dumped Bulldog. It was a thing.
And it allows nonsense like Kofi's Rumble spots, so it's cool. I also remember a CZW battle royal one time where someone legitimately got eliminated and hopped around on one foot to get back in

I personally think it's amazing that people still expect WWE to make the most sensible decision based on classic booking logic when paying attention to the past 10 years.

There's my tag partner!
I stopped watching Battleground after Wyatt/Jericho. I'm presuming I didn't miss anything interesting?
Well there's R Truth and Xavier Woods for the initial squash matches, maybe Zack Ryder and Heath Slater can team up as well. Then they can kill Big E and Kofi since they're friends at the moment.
