Unleashing the full power of The Demon King on Seth Rollins last night at SummerSlam, Finn Bálor made history by becoming the first WWE Universal Champion, however, an injury sustained during the bout raises new questions about his title reign. What’s next for the enigmatic Irishman?

Simple Fan 08-22-2016 06:18 PM

You can merge them slik. Brother told me that
SPOILER: show
The Dudleys are retireing tonight. Seen something on Facebook I think.

slik 08-22-2016 06:19 PM

Demon Sling, lol. Well played @Simple Fan

Simple Fan 08-22-2016 06:27 PM

Kind of surprised by the Dudley news. Thought they just signed new deals not to lo g ago. Haven't liked how they have been booked since they returned so it's probably for the best. Could be a work though, or they retire from Raw and sign with Smackdown.

slik 08-22-2016 06:31 PM

I'm thinking Bully Ray makes his RAW debut.

Emperor Smeat 08-22-2016 06:35 PM

Fully expecting one of the Dudleys' to be wearing a pink suit for their retirement announcement.

Salmon suit is best suit.

Droford 08-22-2016 06:56 PM

Dvon wants to go back to the church of Smackdown

owenbrown 08-22-2016 06:56 PM

That belt is cursed already

Droford 08-22-2016 07:11 PM

They should get a new one and give the Red one to Eva Marie as her own belt a la Dibiase

SlickyTrickyDamon 08-22-2016 07:26 PM

He has already surrendered the title.

Evil Vito 08-22-2016 07:29 PM

This might have given the 2002 World Heavyweight Championship a run for its money as worst possible start to a new championship in wrestling history.

BRACE FOR REIGNS

SlickyTrickyDamon 08-22-2016 07:37 PM

So glad I hauled ass out of New York. This is brutal.

Dark One 08-22-2016 07:39 PM

Hoping for Hannibal-mask-wearing-Joe vs. Rollins tonight for Universal Championship Take 2: Revengeance.

Dark One 08-22-2016 07:41 PM

Supposedly he may be out for like six months according to the pre-show.

Rollins should probably stop doing that bomb into the buckle/barricade.

Yep. I don't think Seth is inherently dangerous but that move, you can't fake it.

Triple A 08-22-2016 07:47 PM

Freaking pumped for 3 hours of Raw!!! (sincere post)

Droford 08-22-2016 07:50 PM

Rollins should have a shirt to commemorate taking out Balor like the U can't Knee me shirt for Cenas injury

Kingslayer Seth Rollins.

Poit 08-22-2016 07:52 PM

I'm getting sick of how hard WWE pushes Vacant. We don't need part-timers like him winning world titles this often.

Evil Vito 08-22-2016 07:55 PM

I'm dreading the thought that they're just going to go straight back to Rollins vs. Reigns...but really, I don't know what other option they have. His feud with Rusev is expendable because it's been awful.

Yes they built Balor up so quickly it's not out of the realm of possibility that they could hotshot somebody else into the title picture in the next month before Clash of the Champions. But Cesaro's just started a Best of 7 with Sheamus, Zayn and Neville appear to be starting a tag team, and nobody wants to see Big Show or Mark Henry getting main event title matches in 2016.

Emperor Smeat 08-22-2016 08:00 PM

Perfect time for the WWE to sign the current hottest free agent out there in the market, Heath Slater, to be their savior for the Universal title woes.

Simple Fan 08-22-2016 08:01 PM

Reigns and Rusev has been great I'd hate to see them go away from it. Rollins should have won last night and we wouldn't have this problem. Hate it for Balor but I'm kind of relieved that they won't be force pushing him anymore. Not sure what they do now.

Still the greatest champion of all time

Triple A 08-22-2016 08:04 PM

Wow f*ck @ Balor

Dark One 08-22-2016 08:04 PM

I think Balor popping his shoulder back in mid-match and then still going to GMA and everything is going to earn him plenty of credit and keep his spot warm while he's out.

Dark One 08-22-2016 08:05 PM

Triple A, how do you feel about the Harambe sign in the front rows?

HA! Raw got no champ........again.



Good evening boys and girls.

Dark One 08-22-2016 08:06 PM

Feel so fucking bad for Finn.

ClockShot 08-22-2016 08:07 PM

Red belt sucks.

The one Finn's holding. Not the movie.

Probably bump Reigns back to the title scene like some rumors were teasing prior to SS. Rusev-Reigns was never meant to be a long feud and just a cheap way for WWE to get crowds to boo Reigns less.

owenbrown 08-22-2016 08:07 PM

I really want this to be kayfabe so fucking bad right now.

Triple A 08-22-2016 08:08 PM

Feel like this is gonna fuck him up "big time" via Vince McMahon not trusting him when he comes back due to being "injury prone"

ClockShot 08-22-2016 08:11 PM

On the bright side, creative can pump the breaks and figure out how to get Finn, Gallows, and Anderson together.

Dark One 08-22-2016 08:11 PM

Depending on how his rehab goes and whose champion at the time... he could have a hell of a Wrestlemania moment.

Dark One 08-22-2016 08:12 PM

If I were Finn Balor, there's an 85% chance I kill myself when I get back to the hotel.

Emperor Smeat 08-22-2016 08:12 PM

Really sucks to be Finn right now.

Finally gets called up to the main roster after waiting a lot longer than WWE originally planned because he was making them a ton of money in NXT, wins the Universal title shortly after a big debut, and then its all cut short after getting hit with the Bryan curse.

Droford 08-22-2016 08:12 PM

I kinda wish this was the full time raw set

Simple Fan 08-22-2016 08:12 PM

You deserve it chants are dumb. Tons of other talent that deserve that spot over him.

Triple A 08-22-2016 08:14 PM

love Seth Rollins

Dark One 08-22-2016 08:14 PM

Seth going full megaheel talking up the quality of the belt.

Lock Jaw 08-22-2016 08:14 PM

Sami Zayn appears!

Give him the belt tonight!

Did they keep the SummerSlam stage up as a joke about how they used the same stage for every event for the past two years?

Me want title match.

KIRA 08-22-2016 08:16 PM

This is gonna be the first "new era Raw" all over again, isn't it?

Should have only eaten half of this chicken parm hero instead of the whole thing... damn... tired...

Lock Jaw 08-22-2016 08:16 PM

Kevin Owens appears!

Give him the belt tonight!

Dark One 08-22-2016 08:16 PM

Going to have a Battle Royal with the Great Khali becoming the second ever Universal champion.

KIRA 08-22-2016 08:17 PM

LOL Rollins reaction is great

Droford 08-22-2016 08:17 PM

6 man tag

Lock Jaw 08-22-2016 08:17 PM

Enzo and Cass appear!

Give them the belt tonight!

Lock Jaw 08-22-2016 08:17 PM

Roman Reigns appears!

Don't give him the belt tonight!

ClockShot 08-22-2016 08:17 PM

:rofl:

Rollins just priceless in the ring right now.

Triple A 08-22-2016 08:17 PM

boring ass 6 man tag main event probably smh

KIRA 08-22-2016 08:17 PM

oh Christ

Poit 08-22-2016 08:18 PM

Instead of a 15 minute promo, Raw starts with a 10 minute promo and 10 minutes of entrances. Brilliant.

Simple Fan 08-22-2016 08:18 PM

Zayn would have been a smarter choice to face Seth at Summerslam I think.

KIRA 08-22-2016 08:18 PM

With the injuries ans suspensions thats pretty much the whole lockeroom

Lock Jaw 08-22-2016 08:19 PM

In my "perfect world", they would have actually built on Sami Zayn's momentum from Battleground, and Sami would have fought Rollins and Summerslam..... and won......

Dark One 08-22-2016 08:19 PM

Crowd so disappointed they won't see the belt--whose existence they just booed the shit out of five minutes ago--awarded tonight.

Fuck off, crowd.

KIRA 08-22-2016 08:19 PM

well that was kinda of a curb stomp

Triple A 08-22-2016 08:20 PM

Would be cool if Roman Reigns lost to Enzo Amore in round 2

Emperor Smeat 08-22-2016 08:21 PM

I think it can be fine in the corner if you're not running.

Can never tell when Zayn is legit injured or when he is just selling real good......

Emperor Smeat 08-22-2016 08:30 PM

If it wasn't for how convincing Sami was at playing being injured in NXT, would have sucked huge time for another major injury to suddenly hit the WWE right after Balor.

Simple Fan 08-22-2016 08:30 PM

Do those barricades look higher to anyone else? Not sure but they look it to me. Could be part of what caused Balor to miss it last night.

I think it's just a work, taking a shot at people who think Seth's an injury causing machine. Least I hope that's all it is...:-\

Also, first segment got really bad after the relinquishing of the title by Bálor...doesn't bode well for the next 2.5 hours, IMHO.

Dark One 08-22-2016 08:30 PM

At this rate the finals will have to take place in a hospital.
