That is one hell of a bill. Unfortunately it's the same night as QOTSA/Royal Blood in Milwaukee.

Ahhh... home sweet home.
Speaking of, Raw and SD are in Toronto this week; if the latter had the mega card from last week I would go but think now I exclusively do PPV's.
I still keep up with WWE but since Mania I've been especially disengaged with the product this year.

Jinder is doing a meet-and-greet at my office today to promote Smackdown, hoping to get a pic holding the title.
...and then find a ref and pin him for it.

It's not that I'm against Mahal as champion but is it too much to ask to have the guy win just one big match clean?
He hasn't even squashed sub par talent on Smackdown yet. I get the whole heel thing but even with Rollins or The Miz, they clearly were top tier talent who could and did win at times clean.
Mahal just gets owned for an entire match until the end when the Singh brothers jump in to distract.
One other thing....when the Singh brothers get in the ring and interfere, the bell should instantly ring, especially when it's a DQ match. Fucking stupid.
Rest of the PPV was p good though!

That's screams Wrestlemania Agreed, I just have no clue how they'll be able to hold it off until then. Also would have been ok with Roman winning it last night only if a full on shield reunion took place |

They have successfully made the big four shows feel special again, yet they are so damn long. Was watching on a delay and didn't even bother with the KO/AJ match (and several others), though I had watched Takeover about an hour before and skipped to the main events.
But yes, Braun and Brock... got damn... money.
Also, Michael Cole said Roman "might have retired" the Undertaker. I can't picture a more suitable finish to the one last spring.

The line of the night "I hope (Braun) uses Byron Sexton as a weapon next!" -I believe that was JBL

They did a pretty good job of ruining that AJ/KO match with a bunch of stupid ref bumps. Wasn't the whole point of having Shane as the ref to have someone who could take a shot and not pass out for 5 minutes? It's particularly dumb when the ref is considerably larger than both competitors in the match.
My favorite quote of the night was KO: "You can jump off a building but you can't get up after that???"
Anyway, it feels like Roode is going to make the jump and become one of the top heels on SD with the company seemingly souring on Corbin and Jinder. I'm not sure that helps though, since where they're really lacking is in main event babyfaces. Who else do they have besides Nakamura? I guess they could do the double title gimmick with AJ, but that's about it.
Also, sounds like we're getting Brock vs. Braun at No Mercy based on Raw tonight.

jesus.
on GFW this weekend, there was a fatal 4 way match and apparently Sexy Star (who was on Lucha Underground) just went off at the end with an armbar on Rosemary and legit tried to break her arm.
people rightly freaking out about it all over the community.
could lead to some well needed reform on how the indies handle their talent though.
edit: apparently Sexy Star ran outta the building immediately after and then started posting on social media that it was a work to cover it up.

WWE... gosh.
Samoa Joe and Cena tonight on Raw, Roman Reigns and Big Match John at the PPV (also Braun and Brock).
Three dream matches given away with such little hype. Whatever, should be a doozy.

Having said that: locate the Cena/Roman segment from Raw. Got damn.

Not happy seeing them blow through all these Mania worthy fights at PPVs like No Mercy. I'm reading they're working on leading up to Reigns VS Lesnar for the title at Wrestlemania. I would hope that means a Smackdown talent will be winning the Rumble because oh dear lord the boos that would envelop the arena if Reigns wins.
But boy if Nakamura can win the title before Mania (he should) and either Styles or Roode wins the rumble, I'd bet that match would be the one people will be most excited for versus Reigns/Lesnar, right?

I feel like if we are leading to Reigns vs. Lesnar at Mania then that's when The Shield reunion is gonna happen.
Wonder who this leaves Cena to face at Mania now?

Maybe that 'Taker line last night was strategic.
