Belts aren't split apparently - Ambrose is still champ

 

I just expected them to save the bullshit for Sunday. Now Sunday still needs a screwy ending otherwise why they'd just unify the belts again.

 

Can't wait to see how they screw up the characters of the 6 NXT talents tomorrow!!!

 

roman gets double pinned i guess? gotta split the titles so thats a way to do it

 

Corporate Finn Balor is gonna be a huge hit!

 

Yeah no idea why they did the screwy finish there.

 

It sounds like they might've run out of time, idk. Screwy finish lets Steph claim "Seth won last night" and draft him first, while keeping the belt on Dean. But it only works that way if people get to see the end and are left wondering 'what happened' without the conclusion on the network.

 

At least I found out I also beat Triple H at WM 30. Thats cool.

 

I gotta say outside of a few matches with KO, and his match with HHH at Roadblock I do not enjoy Ambrose much at all in the ring.

Seems super rigid, and the rebound stuff is gag inducing.

Also this trend of countering the turnbuckle powerbomb with finishers is fucking awful.

 

So that Raw can draft Rollins first and Smackdown gets the current champ in Ambrose so that they don't look like the lesser brand

 

Hope a screwy finish tonight means we don't get a screwy finish on Sunday.

Just let Dean win clean, but pin Roman. WHC can enter the picture Steph wanting to reward Seth and so commissioning a new belt and putting on a tournament she rigs to let Seth win.

 

I hate that rebound stuff so so so much. It would be a different story if it looked even slightly good.

 

Legitimately forgot about the title match and went to go do other stuff during the last hour. Just watched and fucking lol, that's the most WCW ending ever.

Heenan: WHAT IS GOING ON? WHO'S THE CHAMP???????

Schiavone: FANS, WE'RE OUTTA TIME. WE'LL SEE YOU HERE NEXT WEEK ON NITRO!!!

 

damn. i did not consider foley...fun choice.

 

I think I can cook up a reason for Steph picking up Foley and not HHH. HHH is the COO of the company. The GMs answer to him. So to put HHH in as a GM would be pointless besides to boost his ego or to have him be more directly involved with Raw. Regardless though I don't think Foley lasts long because of SmackDown already having an ultra Babyface GM. I think Triple H comes in to fire Foley at some point and HHH runs as the Raw GM anyways. It won't good for the supposed Seth Rollins vs Triple H feud because you can have Seth turn face while Foley is GM and then HHH comes back and Seth immediately defies him. Or have Seth defying HHH be his face turn.

 

It's fine because there should be a power dynamic element that won't exist on smackdown. It also gives steph an easy foil.

 

I'll guess

Raw:
Seth Rollins
Roman Reigns
Brock Lesnar
Randy Orton
Bray Wyatt & Family
Rusev
Sami Zayn
Chris Jericho
New Day
Baron Corbin
Alberto Del Rio
Kalisto
Neville
Women's Division
The comedic relief teams

Smackdown:
Dean Ambrose
John Cena
AJ Styles & The Club
Kevin Owens
Cesaro
Finn Balor
Enzo & Cass
Miz
Sheamus
Apollo Crews
Darren Young
American Alpha

 

Man, there are a ton of people suing the WWE over head injuries.

I really hope there's a new stage set up tonight.

 

rollins/ambrose rematch on smackdown

 

really really hoping SD gets a good roster, cause it seems infinitely more likable

 

well it doesn't have steph, so that's kind of a given

 

I don't think Raw is going to have the whole women's division and the whole cruiserweight division.

Putting the women's division on one brand is the right move if you want a competitive division, but the wrong move if you want to sell tickets to live shows that won't have any women's wrestling on them because its all on the other brand.

 

I still can't believe tonight I start living through another brand split.
