The title match itself was good. Predictable yes, but good. I just hate it when MITB gets cashed in on a new champion. They could have at least done it tomorrow at the end of Raw. Overall it was a pretty standard/ kinda boring PPV. Best moment being the double chokeslam to Strowman or the Edge and Christian Promo with them imitating the Wyatts.

I hope Sheamus' title reign doesn't last long. Worst gimmick ever and I can't bear another long winded face v authority storyline and neither do I want Reigns to win the Royal Rumble again.
I honestly thought Ambrose would have screwed him over. Also is it just me or is Sheamus appearing scrawnier than before? |

What a lame duck main event. Not only did they give Reigns the boring win everyone saw coming a mile away, they have him immediately drop it to an even less interesting and near zero credibility heel who hasn't done jack shit.
Interesting to here CyNick try and spin this into a positive. |

I see a win as a win. Roman Reigns won the RR and the WHC in the same year and may yet end 2015 as the champion. Can't complain.

Not much to say about the show, I guess Sheamus is better than having Reigns as the Champion. Sheamus is going to draw heat so I guess that's a good thing. TLC main evented by Sheamus and Reigns should be boring.

Definitely wasn't time for Reigns. He needs to find his niche before he has a real run.

I guess their going with super face Reigns as well. After not turning heel tonight I don't see him turning with Sheamus being champion. Really should build the Wyatt Family up and have Reigns win the title at TLC. Then have Wyatt booked strong until Seth comes back and have the Wyatt family beating down Reigns and Ambrose only to have Rollins return and reunite the Shield. After they defeat the Wyatt's have the Shield triple threat for the title.

At least Roman would be new. Sheamus has had several runs as champ and they've done nothing for the fans or his character. I just don't get it.

I didn't want to see a Reigns opening Raw promo as champ. Sheamus cashing in saved me some misery. Honestly Sheamus is perfect for that role. He's been drawing heat with the "you look stupid" chants. Fans are going to hate on Sheamus and might even start to grow on Reigns. If they are looking to keep Reigns face this is probably the best way to go. I'd rather see heel Reigns before he has a serious title run but I'm afraid Vince is against that for some reason.

After some time to reflect:
I think they went with the worst of the three options, easily. The top option would have been Ambrose--because the crowd pretty universally loves him and his character, and when the WWE machine has been behind him even a little bit, he's been crazy over. (See his feud with Rollins in the summer). As much as I'm not really into Roman Reigns' character and style, giving him the belt and even having him beat Sheamus to fend off a cash-in at least would have been a realistic effort to make someone the man. Once again, they had a chance to make someone a star--even if it's not someone a lot of people think should be--and they went with the same flip-flop booking that left them with a 16 man tournament including such singles luminaries as Kalisto and Stardust and Titus O'Neil. I like a lot of Sheamus' work, but they definitely gave some dude who hasn't won a match in months and whose sole purpose on the show has been for the crowd to chant "you look stupid" the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. |

Realistically if they went with Ambrose the writing would kill him and he'd lose his cult bad boy status because that's what happens when the writers start trying to write someone who is popular.

Feel like that when Roman Reigns finally won the title he should have "kept onto it for a bit" and not lose it after 3 minutes....

Feel like they are trying to create a Daniel Bryan scenario where Reigns keeps getting screwed to the point that fans can't help but root for the guy. Don't this k it will work as well but seems to be the plan.

well it's kind of goofy because the fans know that the company is behind him, but I've heard the crowds are reacting better to him.

I agree, Reigns would have been perfect for the heel Authority guy but WWE doesn't see it I guess. The only good that can come out of Reigns and Ambrose staying face is a Shield reunion when Rollins returns.

I don't think it's one or the other. Really it could be anything just to break the formula... which was why the Shield was so successful in the first place... they were so different to what anyone had seen in the past decade.

Does this PPV seem like one very much played by ear? Not sure how they'll make WWE Champion Sheamus pan out as a remarkable deal, if they are even expecting to. Noid!!! Any suggestions on this one!?

Didn't see the show, but reading the results I'm glad they stuck with the long term plan of Reigns as a face and didn't do something rash like turn someone just for the sake of it.
I personally am not a huge fan of the win and then cash in right away, but at the same time, that's the whole point of having MITB. Heels are going to take that opportunity. Curious how long Sheamus holds on. I'm guessing at most till the Rumble, which will bridge whatever they had planned before Seth went down. Lot of hilarious belly aching about the Taker match. It's comedy at this point how little some of you guys understand about marketing. I'm just curious what they are building towards for Taker at Mania. Can't really comment on the Divas title match, but the right finish was picked. Charlotte really needs to tell her family to shut up about her storylines if she wants to prove she's a team player. That said, I'm glad they appeared to correct the mistake of the whole Reid thing from Monday. I hope they just focus the girls on trying to win the belt, not who can be the biggest cunt. |

Got told to watch the last 10 minutes because it's hilarious and not bother with the rest, not disappointed.
WITH A TEAR IN HIS EYE, he still got booed out of the ring. |

After deciding to wait to see how Survivor Series panned out, I can honestly say that I am very glad I didn't watch and that Vince McMahon does not have my money.

I do not hate Sheamus. The guy is a great worker and is a freak for his size. He's a safe pick for WWE Champion at a time when they don't have too many top stars. I think business was even okay under him in 2009 and 2010 when he was last WWE Champion. This still feels very boring to me though.
I'm trying to trick myself into liking it somehow. Sheamus is better than Reigns, technically. I like it when guys Sheamus' age get the title over a guy that's a few years too young for his prime, like Reigns. He's going to have some fun brawls with Reigns. But I do not give a fuck. The "wins the title then loses it" shtick doesn't work for him, and it feels like it has marred Reigns to me. If they had gone with Ambrose winning the title, then Sheamus and Barrett jumping him and Reigns walking away as Sheamus cashed in? There's more of a hook coming out of that, Rollins & Ambrose both get WWE Title wins before Reigns, you have matches between Sheamus, Barrett and eventually Reigns on the table for Ambrose. Whatever. |

The Reigns winning/Sheamus cash-in actually makes real good sense on paper. The actual story being told is sound. It's just an issue of a story no one wants to read.
