The RAW after Summerslam "Where people boo who they normally cheer and cheer who they normally boo"
 

But it's all in good fun!

BRAUN CASH IN OR ELSE

I don't want NXT to lose her, but I can see Shayna getting the nod tonight to back up Alexa

Can you explain to me how pushing a wrestler that is unpopular with live audiences is a good idea?

Really excited for Raw. Hoping that AOP attack B-Team and start up their title journey and dominance of Raw midcard. Hoping to see a fun development with Roman/Braun/Brock. Also hoping for a call up or two, hopefully its Shayna and she goes after Ronda.

I'm going to declare that I do not HATE or DISLIKE Roman at all. The booking has been shit but I really enjoy the majority of his main event matches. I hope they can give him a fresh breathe of air with the new title run and I really appreciated how happy he looked after winning the belt after all this time.

THE BIG DOG

SUPERMAN PUNCH

SPEAR

IT'S HIS YARD NOW OWEN!!

I'LL BE THERE CLAIMING MY YARD! DON'T YOU WORRY!

THE BIG DOG IS READY TO EAT!

WOOF WOOF

@owen, Even if you're not a fan of Roman Reigns, you gotta admit that it's nice to see the happiness that his success brings his fans.

Unless Brock calls for his rematch tonight I don't see a cash in..

I am cheering for THE BIG DOG

#BIGDOGNATION

How is Romans #1 fan doing?

I will also post this in Dirty Sheets but some ***HOT NEWS*** courtesy of the Barnburner Podcast again



If true, definitely big

I am curious to see who from NXT gets called up tonight in-front of the red hot Brooklyn crowd only to find their gimmick and push botched in less than 3 months?

Baszler?
EC3?
Dream?
LARS?

EC3 belongs on the main show and not NXT, his style doesn't fit there.

Why did they pick a photo of Ronda that makes her look like Sinéad O'Connor?

THANKS SIR! I'M JUST SO HAPPY THAT I CAN SHARE MY SUCCESS WITH OWENBROWN AND THE REST OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE!!!


NOW WHO'S READY TO SEE THE BIG DOG TONIGHT!!!!

Lesnar will cost Braun his cash in tonight, setting up Brock vs Braun at Mania assuming Brock loses his UFC Match. No way Dana would let Brock wrestler in WWE as UFC Champion, not that I think Brock will beat DC anyways.

At the end of the night, Brock will be gone, and Roman will still be champ.

Oh and EC3 should be on the main roster, and since he is jacked Vince will give him a better push than most NXT Callups.

Also, Shayna to Smackdown makes far more sense. She can stay heel, begin planting seeds for the Horsewoman match by attacking Charlotte and Becky, and keeps her from being Rondas lackey like another Natalya.

Probably checked into the hospital for priapism

Is that Mrs. Stroman :eek:

I have a good feeling about tonight. Not sure why. I just do.

30 minutes out and we might have 2 pages before the show even begins.

That's fine.

We're all on fire for wrestling!!!

I actually might watch tonight. We will see for how long though.

Also, holy shit @ slik's news if that's true.

IT'S THE BIG DOGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Oh, and if that's Mrs. BRAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN?,

Way to go, man.

And here we go.

Good evening boys and girls.

Please don't spoil slik's news in here.

Good evening, ClockShot!

If it's not I'm going to trust that news source a whole lot less going forward

THE BIG DOG

The fuck does he think he is? Santa Claus?

Why's the announce team at ringside?

Great. Time for a 15 minute boring Roman promo.

FTR, I'm ok with Roman in the main event. His matches are fine. Nothing special.

The Big Dog, looking good with the belt

I'm willing to give Roman a chance. He is a large dog, after all. People love dogs.

Roman doesn't bother me near as much as he used to

But he's not my favorite

The Big Dog is back! 4-time, 4-time, 4-time, 4-time champion of the worrrrrrrrrlllllld!

I'd be fine with a Roman vs Drew program if WWE felt like throwing us something new

Nakamura went under a dog and ruined the business.

Silver lining here is that it's the red belt he has.

Which, a lot of us don't recognize.

Ignore these idiot fans Roman. You're the man now dog!

I wish somone would edit Roman talking about being the Big Dog and the ring being his yard, with Alexa Bliss going " GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! "

put them back where they belong ringside

I mean the crowd can boo him but let's be honest: Do you really like Lesnar THAT much?

I'd be super down for that.

Roman vs John Cena would rule

Wacky non traditional crowd that boos who they normally cheer.

Wow. Finn moves to the front of the line?

Roof's gonna pop off when Braun shows up.

Still find it really funny how for weeks Reigns complained about distractions and being cheated out of the title and ended up winning the belt via a distraction.

I'm a few minutes late. Did I already miss the "It's the Raw after Summerslam where the fans..." for real yet?

Finn jobbing to Big Dog tonight?

Reigns only challenged Balor because he knew he wasn't expecting it and wouldn't have time to put his demon paint on.

KO, Goldberg, and Brock never got a chance again either.

Y'all a buncha puppets if you didn't think wasn't just going to be another way for Corbin to get heat.

Finn Balor walking out like a total chump.

:lol: at Corbin's complaints

Huh?

Baron Corbin really dumb

orly?

Another six segment Corbin classic to open Raw.

BRAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Oh, it's Bubby.

Baron Corbin vs Bobby Lashley. Starting off with a real barnburner.

OH no.

Are we starting off with a 25 minute Corbin/Lashley match?

Lashley going to sweat so much he's going to evaporate off the face of the planet and Baron Corbin will be left as the sole survivor, so he can wrestle a 25 minute match with No Way Jose next week.

WWE really likes to put Lashley in bad segments and/or matches for some odd reason.

I had a feeling it would be Bobby.

Here's to hoping it's another squashesque battle and it starts some sort of backslide for Corbin that makes him paranoid or something.

Wish they'd just bring back Lashley's old entrance theme.

I was hoping Randolphius Ealy was getting called up tonight to shut Corbin's mouth FOR GOOD.

Bobby should turn heel and have Heyman manage him. Hes a good rassler and had a good look but he sucks on the mic. Just like Brock

Would have been dope if they returned from commercial to Lashley celebrating a win during the commercial.

Going to skip RAW and go watch "Crazy Rich Asians".

Constipated Corbin is so lame. Get that man a laxative

Go do it, quit cluttering the thread.

Are you a crazy rich Asian?

That would be a 25 minute classic.

Make sure to post a review in the thread.

That's a lot of empty seats at ringside there.

Why don't they ever say Lashley was ECW Champion

The Bellas and Wendy Styles are all stuck in traffic.

Same reason they don't say Bart Gunn won Brawl For All. Or Bart Gunn. Or Brawl For All.

Ah.

If Baron Corbin beats Lashley this means Finn Balor is better than Bob

Hate commercials during matches. Its the worst

How empty is it?

I agree

Finn is technically the number one contender as of right this moment, so story would check out.

Don't think it was ever considered as a major belt or WWE would rather hope everyone forgot how terrible they handled the brand.

Brb gonna enter code VP500

These Corbin multi-segment matches to open Raw should belong to Chad Gable. Travesty.
