If it's any consolation, he won.

Missed the first hour, anything interesting happened besides Brockzilla's destruction of Kofi?

ahahahahahah Owens going for the cheap heat.

Kevin Owens: Master troll.

you missed a really good Jericho/Neville match, Smeat.

Not really, although I thought Jericho/Neville was pretty good.

Pele Kick OUTTA NOWHERE

Another package piledriver tease. :(

Balor busting out all the former trademarks.

It's awkwardly hilarious that he's using all these moves and Cole and Saxton refuse to even name them, even though the fans are hot.

That was worth staying up for.

Or adjusting my sleep schedule for.

:lol: Owens spinning from the clothesline/lariat

NXT title match was really good.

Sad that this effectively means the end of Owens in NXT. But still, good match.

Owens takes a clean pinfall loss to an NXT guy.

Booked as an equal to John Cena.

Based on the other moves they've called and history they've referenced... I'm guessing they just don't know the names. Hell, I know they're his old trademarks, but I don't know which is Bloody Sunday or whatever else.

I'm honestly kind of pleasantly surprised and amazed how good Cole still can be without a thousand people yelling in his ear about TRENDING WORLDWIDE.

I was hoping for Balor to debut a new finish. Really dislike the Coup De Grace.

Owens' handshake PTSD can only lead me to believe someone tried to shake his hand after he watched his parents get shot in a back alley.

Wondering if the person with the "I'm deaf" sign knows that's what it says because that is a weird as fuck sign.

Sweet match

He had to lose it at some point. Just because someone's an NXT guy, doesn't automatically make them inferior to someone on the main roster.

Barrett should have come out as EMPEROR Barrett.

They can't send an intern to look on Wikipedia and/or Youtube?

Upon further review, he should have also stolen Kenzo Suzuki's old entrance and been carried to the ring.

I mean....

Good match.... glad they let Finn have it... wish they didn't have him pin Owens in that tag match on the last NXT too....

Anyways, I don't need to see this match. So I will tap out here.

I am going to sleep.

Good Morning Jawmpions and Salutations to all my Lock Dogs.

I want to see if Owens comes out and interferes

Cena Sucks chants are funnier in Japan. :lol:

John Cena is not just "someone on the main roster".

Cena has been booked alot weaker than what he has been in the past my concern is what happens with Owens if he doesn't in the title. I like the guy and I honestly I find that surprising considering the reoutation he had in the past.

gonna spend this whole match repping people in this thread and half watching.

Wow. Even Let's Go Cena / Cena Sucks in Japan.

Tag Ropes! Very underrated element of tag matches. Glad they brought them back forever ago.

Currently feel like Cena in this match right now as I battle against sleep.

It's very considerate of them to put on a sleep-aid after the drama of the NXT title match.

Right on schedule

Bored me to death. Going back to bread. IT's been fun y'all.

That was worth getting up at 5:30 to see. Fun show.

Balor winning would have been a great closer, but I get why they put the tag match last.

I popped for the Bloody Sunday, and the streamers, and the match

I was wondering too what the fuck that was all about.

Did Stan Hansen rassle a dark match? Also, was hoping DLVH84 would return bc he is Capt. Japan.
