I'm already dreading the "SHEAMUS HAS JUST PINNED THE WORLD CHAMPION OMGZZZ!!!" ending to Raw in the next week or two.
I'm more okay with this in a post-Network world than in a PPV-era. I think you can get away with that on a rare or semi-regular basis now that you're not buying a $50-60 show and you're buying a $10 pass to a ton of shows and a major "event" with extended matches per month.

You still got a major angle and some big matches last night, but you got another major moment and angle tonight on "free" TV. If this were like TNA five or six years ago where they were solely using their $50 show to make you watch the weekly show next week, then you have a problem. I think with the Network making major shows available at any time, you need to have big things happen on the regular weekly shows to keep people engaged.

It doesn't have to be a world title change or SHOCKING RETURN every week, but it's nice to have that here and there.

But yeah, Sheamus probably gets his win back tomorrow on SD.
