Damn

Also, **** cancer

Just starting it and him coming out to boos as normal is awfully brutal now that I already know what's coming.

Surely the announcers knew beforehand, no?

Holy chit! Holy chit!!

This is how wrestling should always be.

Wow. Perfect time to pull the trigger on heel Ambrose.

It's a work. Vince has no limits on what he'll do to get Roman over.

Braun turned face again too

Vince and HHH is working us

Nice

I liked the CM Punk chants when Shane asked who will be the best in the world. And he responded...I dont think he's in it.

DX vs the brothers should end like triple h vs sting...

near the end of the match DX is getting beaten down and the theme hits, with the rest of DX hitting the ring....

Then, a few moments later, the lights go out, chanting heard, the ministries theme hits..........

Wow, I just read that only a few people knew about Reigns' announcement before he made it, so all of the reactions from the announcers and other wrestlers were because they learned about it just like the rest of us

Very surprising that this was not leaked or even mentioned at some point in Reigns' career. Crazy how quiet WWE was able to keep this.

WWE is looking for a new location for Crown Jewel apparently

Now it looks like they will be holding it in Saudi Arabia after all

Yep. Just saw that.

Not sure his many of you were planning on watching Evolution, but just saw where Alexa Bliss has been replaced by Alicia Fox in the tag match with Trish and Lita. Apparently Bliss was injured by Rousey in a house show last week. Kinda takes away all the allure of this match.

Yep. Saw a rumor that was going to happen.

Too bad. Alicia is super fine in person. Random observation

I don't like what they've done with the Women's division.

Asuka, Sasha, and Ember Moon have been buried. They keep pushing the low talent Bellas, probably to help their reality show.

Would love to see Asuka turn heel and get a push.

So tired of Nia Jax. She's fat, she sucks in the mic, and she's a ****ty wrestler.

I thought we were about to see an Ember Moon push. Teased once again.

The 6 woman tag match was really good.

Anything worth watching? I've been playing red dead 2 all afternoon

Overall good PPV. Charlotte/Becky was the best match, but Rousey/Bella was good too. Rousey continues to improve in the ring. NXT Championship match was good.

Hopefully last night proved that women's matches should no longer be considered "bathroom breaks." Really impressed with several matches and glad Becky got to retain. Also, can't speak to Brie, but Nikki Bella showed last night that she is a good worker and put on a great match, which couldn't have been easy following the Lynch/Flair match.

Outside of the ring, I wonder if I was the only one who noticed Renee Young's face when they were promoting Crown Jewel. She looked pissed and the crowd didn't like it either as they booed the video package pretty loudly.

Rousey has no business being as good as she is. But her matches are so entertaining.This is just like when Kurt Angle started. They are both just naturals considering their background.

You were not. Twitter was talking about it and WWE cut the feed because when they were promoting it in the arena there were tons of loud boos apparently.

I agree. Ditto regarding the Riott Squad, and I though Mandy Rose, Paige and Sonya were going to be a solid troupe, until Paige was ruled out, and now it seems like they don't know what to do with Mandy Rose and Sonya.

The Sasha and Bayley story line has been old since April, but ultimately Raw suffers from what seems to be no clue where to go with the women's division, especially if they are fearful of making Nia Jax and Ember Moon heels. Although Nia Jax is really, really boring and offers nothing.


I think it would help if there was an actually a heel on Raw that would actually cause some tension, like Becky Lynch does on SmackDown.

The only way to get to the point of an Evolution is to have a full cast of female stars. Given the lack of TV time they get normally, the only way to do that is park the established stars while they focus on the new ones so they can develop that roster out as much as they can.

Sort of a tough situation. Do you want to give them a women's show? I think it may help at first but hurt overall chemistry with how they blend the male/female stars. The other thing is more air time for the women each week on Raw & SD, but then again you're taking away time from the men.

Will be interesting to see how they handle it because they're basically trying to create 2 divisions (men and women) with the same amount of TV hours as they had when they were doing 1 division and a side show.

I think they really missed out on an opportunity to create a Women's Tag Division with a single set of belts going between both shows.

Looks like the Cena rumor was true.

RAW was absolutely terrible tonight. Zero progression on the Rollins and Ambrose story line. I guess the Lesnar and Braun moment was decent.

Oh and Elias was entertaining as always but that's about it.
