Yep, new video and music, which I, for one, did not care for in the least.

BigCrippyZ 07-25-2016 08:26 PM

I had to rewind my DVR to confirm but did anyone else notice Michael Cole use the term "professional wrestling" during Balor's entrance?

New song for Raw but that song has been around for a while

GD 07-25-2016 08:26 PM

I cared more about the "Smackdown Championship" than the WWE Universal Championship.

ClockShot 07-25-2016 08:27 PM

Hmph.

Owens & Rusev would make a good tag team.

RawRocks 07-25-2016 08:27 PM

WWE Universal Champion just sounds fucking retarded.

Dark One 07-25-2016 08:28 PM

Calling a Braun Strowman squash match in Hour 2. BEGIN THE TITLE PUSH.

Of course not! We have to know what the Raw main event match at Summerslam will be tonight, damn it! God forbid we dramatize or build to anything in the future.

Corey Graves already 5,000 times more bearable than JBL

I will hate it marginally less if Seth Rollins runs it into the ground as being MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE

KIRA 07-25-2016 08:28 PM

If their championship is universal why is it exclusive to RAW huh? Huh?

GD 07-25-2016 08:30 PM

Would be messed up if Roman Reigns defeats Finn Balor in the main event.

KIRA 07-25-2016 08:30 PM

Finn is kicking ass

Pretty half-assed Bloody Sunday/1916 by Finn.

Probably until the tapings run out. Maybe still yes after. Cole called him the "Voice of NXT."

I am quite aware of that. I always thought that "non wrestling" personnel were also considered to be a part of the roster.

WWE.com superstars page confirmed that he is still a part of NXT.

It truly is a monumental night.

Why's there a fan dressed as a banana?

Evil Vito 07-25-2016 08:36 PM

As terrible of a name as Universal Championship is I'm quite sure everybody here is just going to colloquially call the two main belts the Raw and SmackDown World Titles, anyway.

There's Finn.

He's the commercial entertainment for the crowd and will be performing "Peanut Butter Jelly Time".

GD 07-25-2016 08:40 PM

Camera work reminds me of the Impact Zone.

Emperor Smeat 07-25-2016 08:40 PM

Finn was very close to Coup de Graceing Rusev's nuts.

SlickyTrickyDamon 07-25-2016 08:40 PM

Finn Balor will main event Monday Night Raw in his first night in WWE.

Simple Fan 07-25-2016 08:42 PM

I like Finn but I think it's to early for him to be going over those 3 guys. Hope the Club gets involved when he faces Roman.

ClockShot 07-25-2016 08:42 PM

Is it Nee-ya or Ny-ya?

GD 07-25-2016 08:42 PM

I'm not like most girls, I'm just a plus-size model and related to Dwayne Johnson...

This would be a great time to bring back enhancement talent. For some reason I always loved new people debuting against locals and just wiping the floor with them.

Rusev interferes in the main event, allowing Roman Reigns to capitalize and defeat Balor via pinfall. Setting up the Universal and United States title matches for SummerSlam.

SlickyTrickyDamon 07-25-2016 08:45 PM

My guess is SUMMER RAE! She's not like most girls with non-Witch faces.

Emperor Smeat 07-25-2016 08:48 PM

GD 07-25-2016 08:48 PM

My enthusiasm for the new product has gone down significantly with respect to the name of the new primary championship. While I acknowledge that wrestling is fake and belts should not be taken seriously, it is still real to me (dammit).

Savio 07-25-2016 08:56 PM

Mine hasn't yet....it will tomorrow when I have to endure Rawley.

Going to laugh uncontrollably if Roman gets pinned in this match too.

They have a lot of years and a lot of losses to make up for.
