Any clean finishes in the title matches? I just don’t see many or any clean finishes. Would love to see AJ win clean. Tag team don’t care just no fuckery. Miz burying Corbin but that’s not happening. Clean match for the ladies.
Shield -new day could be amazing and find something for Owens and Sami to do!

I almost feel like not following NXT weekly makes me enjoy the specials even more. I thought the whole show was tremendous. Please put Lars with Enzo at some point. Do keep Velveteen in NXT as long as possible, that match was amazing, but fear him getting Tyler Breezed on main roster. Black should challenge for the belt, keep his promo to a minimum and he's gold. Ember vs Sane going forward should be fun. Did Drew get hurt? Finish was funny, but Cien has long been NXTs MVP and OG Tranquillo>>> so I'm all for it. Maybe Drew is getting called up. Current 3MB should be a thing, but not a joke, like legit have them destroy people. Main event was more entertaining than it had any right to be.

Good show. The end of the main event was a convoluted mess. HHH will probably just disappear from TV again without a full explanation.

Poor Bray Wyatt.

Raw's 25th anniversary episode wasn't great, but at least Undertaker (hopefully) retired. Also, I guess Enzo is a rapist now? I'm glad to have him off of my TV, but I'm worried it will be bad for Drew Gulak, who's been amazing the last month or so. Is anybody else even still watching? Thread has been a bit slow as of late.

I watch pretty much every week. I don't always watch it on Mondays. Sometimes I DVR it and watch it later in the week or whatever. Shane still sells those Stunners like a boss even spitting the beer out. Vince is finally starting to show some age. I didn't see the whole thing last night yet, but from what I've read it could have been better. But it is what it is.

Agreed, damn good show. Super weird match order, though. I do really wish Strowman had gone over, he's beyond ready for it and Brock as champion is pretty stale at this point.

Great Rumble. The order seemed off but I can see wanting to save the Rousey moment for the close.

Shinsuke/Styles will be awesome.

And yea, I’m done with Brock’s run too. I just hope they don’t think that Roman is still the guy to take it. Give Braun a run please. It will be interesting to see if Brock signs a new deal. The temptation of a program with Lashley may do it for him.

Elimination chamber was kind of lit, Strowman should be champ already. Roman eithering Brock tonight was pretty nuts as well.

The Rousey shit pretty much sucks across across the board so far, though.

I really don't get how they're booking Strauman. He's the most over guy on the roster right now. Seems like a huge missed opportunity.

Roman’s promo was the best thing he’s ever done. If Brock legit no-showed (which I doubt), this could be interesting.

Miz-Finn-Rollins will be fantastic, but where does that leave Braun? Elias, I guess.

Looks like we will get Cena-Nakamura at Fastlane, but my money is still on Cena-Taker, which will suck but whatever.

Not sure what they are doing with the Raw tag division. Push The Revival already.

Roman killed that and for once sounded like a human who meant it. The element I was worried would be missing this time around that Mania 31 had was them legit stiffing the shit out of one another. Not worried anymore.

Rollins has been unreal lately. Same goes for Miz. I just link the idea of Braun in a ladder match so make the IC match a 5 way ladder match.

Rollins ring work is almost all the way back to what it was pre knee injury, it's great to see.

Agreed, I can't think of a single wrestler putting up three performances in a row as good as Rollins in the EC and last two Raws, dude is absolutely on fire right now.

Rollins ftw>

Wtf having Cena look weak on Raw then pin the Smackdown champ clean. Whoever has been booking this show for the last 6-9 months needs to be fired.

Just thinking of all the matches and entrances, how is Mania not 7 hours? They really need to consider making it a 2 day event.
