If Brock is at Raw tomorrow, he'll probably evoke his rematch clause

Randy Whoreton is confusing nowadays.

Brock Roman s----d yet again, didn't Roman win after just one s-----y a--- spear at the end there? lol wow what a great end to Lesnar's long title reign. Wonder how long Roman keeps it, think I'm gonna tune out of the WWE for now..the matches I was interested in tonight didn't really deliver, AJ/Joe was good though.

Well. Takeover was of course way f---ing better last night. But Summerslam was still decent. Although some matches disappointed me. Like Styles/Joe. f--- that was boring. Becky turning heel was awesome. I love that the crowd s--- all over Charlotte. So f---ing sick of her being champion. Ronda winning the Raw women’s title, im indifferent I suppose. I know I should be pissed off but for some reason I don’t care. And f--- it. I love that Roman won. I’m not a fan of his and never will be but f--- Brock. But what the actual f--- was the deal with Braun? Why didn’t he cash in at the very beginning and make it a triple threat? That was r-----ed. But oh well. Maybe they have different plans for him with the briefcase. I guess match of the night was Rollins vs. Ziggler. I enjoyed Miz vs. Bryan as well. I love the storytelling they got going on with them and clearly it’s far from finished. Finn bringing back the demon made me mark the f--- out. That will never not be awesome. Overall not a bad show.

They did Roman no favors tonight.

The match Brock won- a 20 min hard hitting, bloody match at WM
The match Roman won- a 5 min match that was obviously kept short due to outside factors where Brock lost due to distraction

On the positive side- AJ/Brock was f---ing awesome and Bryan/Miz was very good and both matches have me very interested in seeing rematches inside HIAC next month

Side note - last night I watched AJ Styles/Jerry Lynn/Psycosis/Low Ki in a double elimination four way for the first X-Division championship on TNA's second PPV. It was really great, but what surprised me is just how much AJ did back then compared to now, as well as how much he still uses from that move set today. He was out of his mind back then. Jerry Lynn also looks exactly like Omega, it's a trip to see.

Ziggler/Rollins - 3.75
Bludgeon Bros vs New Day - 3
Strowman/Owens - N/A
Carmella/Becky/Charlotte - 3.25
AJ Styles/Samoa Joe - 4
Daniel Bryan/The Miz - 3.5
Balor/Corbin - N/A
Nakamura/Hardy - 2.75
Alexa/Ronda - N/A
Brock/Roman - 3.25

Despite the ratings, this was honestly an easy show to watch. The three squashes all had a purpose and got over (don't like the Owens match but he's in the role he's in right now). The only real bad thing on the show was Nakamura/Hardy. Would have put the tag match on the pre-show and slotted that match in earlier when the crowd was still hot from Rollins and Ziggler. They had a better match than the dumpster fire they had last PPV, but it wasn't as good as their Raw match and took a long time to get going. Joe/AJ was great, thought it was time to pull the trigger on Joe and the match was just getting hot, but the angle was awesome. They should have a dope Cell match with a story that it sort of works for.

The fact that they tricked people into tolerating that main event, only to not give the crowd what they wanted after getting their pop was smart as f---. Props to whoever booked that. The match went as well as it could have, better than their others. It needed to be short and I'll gladly take this over a million F5's/suplexes that nobody cares about and Brock legit caving in Roman's head... which nobody cared about either.

It was 15 minutes and this was around six or seven. About half the length and it honestly felt like more happened than at Mania lol

Man I was thinking what a joke the entire Brock/Roman feud was..

4 matches and you could argue only 1 of them was solid, while 2-3 of them were horrible. All were given huge main event slots. The general summary of the first 3 is Brock dominates, wins easily except for the cage match where Reigns supposedly should have won (although he only had 1 foot on the ground so probably not..) Then finally the big pay off after all those years is Roman finally gets his revenge and slays the beast by....Brock being distracted by someone else and Roman surprising him with a spear. Wow f---in awful and how does that make any sense for the guy they want to be accepted as the top face? That has heel move written all over it.

What a waste of a feud and what a waste of 4 huge main event spots. Also they set up the entire thing last night with Braun just to make it so Roman didn't get booed lmao, the effort they go to for Roman amazes me.
