They are ending a go home show to a PPV with Rusev and Henry? Is this a fucking joke?

I mean it's not Cena. But on the other fucking hand it's stupid because it's not Cena. Y'know. Your PPV main event. WWE, you're a company bleeding money and rating. Why do this to yourself?

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

WWE is the worst...

 

[gaiadyne]

Not arguing with you, but I swear I heard that he pours multiple bottles of water on himself before coming.

It's the weirdest goddamn thing.

combination of water and baby oil in the Gorilla Position

 

[Data West]

Think we all know why America is closing Raw

Swerve, friends.

 

[plagiarize]

so what are they doing with jack swagger now? seemed like he was really starting to get over and he has a really good look to him too and actually is decent in the ring.

shame he isn't getting more of a push.

Did you see the match with Bo? Did you notice that he was hardly getting a reaction?

He was never over. He was against a monster heel that has been booked brilliantly and who gets nuclear heat. That was all.

And he failed all of America.

 

[Toki767]

This is a great test to see how many people they can get to tune out of the final segment of Raw.

 

[Kaiterra]

Man, I think I'm officially over Roman Reigns now. It was a good run.

 

[Serpentine]

So i tuned in to see Reigns beat Rollins clean to build up to a match on PPV and a shitty jingle.

What else have I missed on this probably-glorious Raw?

Did you watch his match? He got more of a reaction than anyone else on the roster except for Brock.

These Annabelle trailers need to stop dammit.

I'm not lying. They gave me a nightmare. I'm seeing that shit in the daylight in a double bill with the Box Trolls or something.

Cena possibly breaking Lesnar's nose

Hell, the show is called Night of Champions, and it's not even a championship match of any kind

I passed on Raw and played FF14 instead. Seems like I made the right choice.

 

[Ithil]

Normally you just brush off dumb booking with "it's dumb".

But that was too much.

- Seth avoided Ambrose for months, Ambrose always trying to get that win over him
- Ambrose is taken out eventually, before he got said win.
- Reigns is booked to face Rollins at the PPV, buy the Network to see if Rollins will get his comeuppance.
- For no reason, they face each other on the go-home RAW, on free TV, also.
- Reigns wins clean, no interference, no nothing.
- Uh, please buy the Network for the PPV anyway? To see a rematch of the match that just had a clean win where Reigns beat Rollins?

I want to see the train of thought that led to that.

 

[Data West]

This isn't even like 'this sucks' Raw, this is just like 'wut' Raw.

oh by the way I'd like to add to the Cena is a face? list
• Sneak attacks Brock when he comes through the ropes
• Sneak attacks Brock after faking injury

 

[plagiarize]

People like going 'we the people'. That's it. The Let's go Bo chants were as loud. No one cared when he won.

Cena got louder positive chants. Roman got louder chants.

But maybe I should watch it again.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Oh hey, Christian is alive.

 

[blackaroni]

Christian and Jericho? Why??? Where Booker?

 

[Plywood]

 

[Vestal]

11:02. Wtf is this bullshit lol.

This is some sad shit.

[Vylash]

she truly is the chosen one, friends

 

[Sibersk Esto]

this ring is ridiculous

 

[blackaroni]

She must be trying to get a job in Creative.

 

[plagiarize]

I'm still shocked that we had a clean finish on the go home show in a one on one match between two people who are in a one on one match on the PPV this Sunday.

Unless there's some shenanigans and the match doesn't happen... it makes no sense.

 

[Toki767]

Did Brock/Cena have something to do? Like watch the football game or something? I just don't know what other reason they could possibly have in ending the show with this segment.

 

[Nameless]

Wow.. 7 minutes of recaps and adverts then closing with Henry/Rusev....wow

 

[Data West]

HEARTS ONNN FIIIIREEEEEEE

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Henry and Rusev closing the show?

Somebody is turning Russian tonight.

 

[Snaku]

I'm going to bed, I'm done with this shit.

I was wondering the same thing

Don't be a MARK those are THE ACCOLADE of tweets.

[FHIZ]

For real, how is this what they're ending on?

 

[blackaroni]

These 'WHAT' chants. STOP!!

Lovely ladies, you're a piece of shit.

 

[RP912]

Rallied into defeat.

 

[Data West]

These what chants are appropriate. Who cares. Why is this the main event.

 

[Toki767]

Swagger had way more heat than this.

 

[Officerrob]
