Bah gawd keeng, what a night

The new Jinderation has begun

And where do we go from here?

Poon-jabbing celebration

HOLLA IF YOU HEAR ME!

Nice of Jinder to mimic Triple H's Mania entrance for his arrival.

Whoa. A police escort.

It'd be funny if the carpet starts flying.

Jinder scowl coming out of the limo was good

Jinder gets just his name for the custom name plates.

I'd figure one would be that flower or whatever it is on his ring gear.

Wonder if the Singh Bros. have a second rug and they just keep moving it in front of Jinder's feet as he walks

Long live his reign

Correct. They do have a backup in case dog poo

I still think Jinder as a champion is a joke, but I'm here anyway.

Because I have no self worth.

That new titantron & floor screen is just too creepy for Owens.

:n: Shane denying the Face of America his spot for MitB

hahhahahhahaha burn

So Ziggler and Corbin's prize for losing at the last ppv is a shot at MITB? Makes sense.

Don't like that they got rid of the flashing red dots and stuff in the intro of Nakamura's song..... after the green "sound wave" things.......

That's a sexy lineup for the Money in the Bank match.

hmmm...Nak vs Owens ("why is he so special, I should be in the MITB match, I'm the face of the US") would be sweet.

INCENSED that Mojo Rawley isn't in this!!

Corbin not impressed with Nakamura's entrance dance and taunt.

Owens gonna drop some truth bombs

Mojo only get to be on TV if he brings Gronk.

Ooops. Bad mic.

Tag team sense is tinging.

MitB seems like its going to have a really small card if the women's MitB match also happens. Owens being in the MitB match takes out a potential US title match assuming he doesn't lose it by then.

lol. eric cartman

Wish Nakamura wouldn't do that last "chop" in the middle of the ring at the end of his entrance. You already get the crowd reactions with them singing to his music and doing "yeeaaooo" on the ropes, a third "thing" stretches it too much.

The Rockstar? I think he means The Artist.

Plus now they have "shortened" his entrance so his run to the ropes thing doesn't "match" the music "peak" anymore, the middle of the ring thing does..... I like the rope thing matching the music more........

Maybe fewer matches, but 2 MITB matches will run prob 25 maybe even 30 mins each. Then you'll have Jinder/Orton which will be given its time too so the show will fill out time wise.

Someone on the writing team just discovered TV and movies just this week, apparently.

I really can't understand him.

YES! Keep going back to his first few entrances and it almost felt like it was an accident that they realized the music can match up perfectly with his actions.

Baron Corbin beating Sami Zayn tonight to get his win back! 50/50 4 Life

I was right. Sort of.

AJ/Shinsuke already one of the best tag teams in history and they haven't even wrestled yet

Nice swerve by Shane announcing a singles match first before channeling his inner Teddy Long.

All those tattoos, so distracting :(

Really like Becky Lynch's new jacket

Really like Becky Lynch

*sigh*

:nono:

I think AJ/Shinsuke is the match fans will want for WM so we will likely get Shinsuke vs Corbin and AJ vs Mojo Rawley next year instead.

"I don't like her jacket she's a face"

I like Becky Lynch's face

yay tiny tv screen is back

Hey, splitscreen.

They should do tiny screen/mute on RAW when Bayley is cutting a promo.

They fixed Charlotte's titantron so it doesn't say Harlot anymore

:(

I mean I barely noticed because I was distracted by Charlotte's tattoos.

Save it fir Roman's matches

Good women's tag match. Should have been the ending used for Backlash or at least Carmella picking up the win instead of Natty.

:lol: at the Sami-Corbin match.

Sami Zayn with another big win!

R.I.P. Sami

What in the fuck is going on with this brand.

I change the channel for a few seconds and they're in the crowd fighting.

Is the match over or even officially started?

Corbin's snapped. Now all he needs is a really good submission to become a badass machine.

Legit ended a few seconds from coming back.

Braun did the Kill Sami Zayn thing so much better.

10 second match

Oh hello, Stretcher.

Yay for more Fashion Files

Fashion Files Live On!

Shane is the commish?
Does he want their badges

Does he think they are reckless cops who don't play by the rules but damnit they're the best he's got?

PARTY TIME!

There's a framed Big Bossman!

"lol" at Mean Street Posse wanted for gang activity

"lol" at "You know you're not real cops?"-"That's what my dad keeps telling me, and I'm starting to think both of you might be right"

The grey mat should be replaced with a legit gold slab to welcome the greatness of Jinder Mahal.

Aww yea

Hoping Johnny Curtis can become champ in just 6 short weeks.

Going all out.

Imagine tripping balls on that stage.

Where's my elephant?

YES!

Already one of the best new champion celebrations ever in the WWE and it only just started.

James Ellsworth has a better record in WWE than Jinder Mahal.

Guru Dave, please let us know how culturally accurate this is

This is so ridiculous and I want it to be his entrance every week now

This is weak in comparison to Brock Lesnar's Mariachi Extravaganza.

WWE universe just realizes Jinder isn't a muslim

JBL the only one loving this.

:lol: at JBL being all serious with the celebration.

Wonder if he's going to rant on Orton for losing the title for America like he did with everyone in the Rusev US title feuds.

omg JBL saying Modern Day Maharaja over and over and over and over

If someone could shut JBL the fuck up this would be perfect.

Jinder sounds raspy. He got a cold or something?

Mahal losing his voice.....

Sucks that he is losing his cool voice

Lots of people with no manners in the crowd. They should be joyous at the start of the Maharaja Era.

He needs to let his boys talk for him to rest his majestic voice

USA baby

There goes the pyro budget for June.

FUCK YEA

Wonder if the WWE realizes they still have a week left in May when they blew the rest of the pyro budget for the Maharaja party.

Culturally insensitive fans, chanting USA

Hope this causes an SJW twitter backlash
