I thought it was a pretty good show. Tag team cell match was great and the main event was fine for what it was. I really liked Jinder vs Nakamura match and actually enjoy Mahal in the ring. He's smart and powerful which is all he needs to be. If only he had not been rushed to the title scene I'd be fine with him. Just don't think WWE has used Shinsuke right in my opinion, talking with that mouth piece is stupid. Don't agree with the US Championship changing hands but I'd imagine AJ will have it back soon.

WWE has gone out of their way to make Shinsuke just another guy, probably not on purpose though lol

Was nice of them to claim a sellout crowd despite showing a half empty arena.

One year ago, saying "Nakamura will be on the main roster in a year jobbing clean to Jinder Mahal" would just be something crazy you say to exaggerate how badly WWE ruins everything.

Jinder was totally off television until it came to having backstage skits with Rusev.

Trying to think of who Jinder Mahal's next opponent will be..... Is he just gonna fight Nakamura again? Feud feels kind of "done" and "lost" by Nakamura.
I would have suggested Sami Zayn as his next opponent, but I guess that isn't going to happen now. AJ Styles is probably going to be involved with Corbin and the US Title for another month or two. Bobby Roode seems like he is still going to involved with Ziggler for at least another match. Randy Orton just came off a long never-ending feud with Jinder..... Who is left? |

Just got done with Usos V New Day. Good god, that might be my favourite HIAC where they don't leave. It was brutal and uncomfortable in spots and that Woods fighting spirit near the end was fantastic. That fucking headbutt.

Member when Big E did have a big singles push in WWE too and was either IC or US Champion?
And everyone here was all "Uggh Big E Langston sucks" |

Not worked my way through yet, just got done with that. But I assumed it was since nothing was going to top that.
I'm glad Xavier has had more of a chance to shine recently. He's a decent wrestler and athlete, not the best in the world, but he's fantastic at adding those little details that can elevate a spot to something memorable with just the right facial or reaction. The desperation handcuffed save where he just collapses on top of Big E, getting in the face of the trapped Uso behind bamboo. Just little things that can elevate a moment. Because he had no character. People would be much more on board now. |

I fully support Big E being champion. He has the looks, the charisma and the talent.
I have this theory that Jinder being champion is WWE trying to make sure everyone "knows" RAW is the superior brand. I remember all the talk about Smackdown being the A show over RAW so I assume that is a common sentiment in the IWC. At the time, Jinder was on RAW, nobody liked him, and he was jobbing like Jinder does. Then suddenly he gets traded to Smackdown and wins the title within a few weeks and becomes unstoppable. The simple breakdown ends up being RAW jobber is better than everyone on Smackdown, RAW is clearly the superior product! Obviously it had something to do with them trying to push into the Indian market as well, but I honestly think a lot of it was to make Smackdown look weaker than RAW. |

Dang I totally disagree... I watched this show very late last night but since that match was first I wasn't very tired and was "into it". I just thought that match was to Shane/Owens as a slap is to a knock out punch. Grown ass men fighting with thin bamboo sheets taped together.... But they did do some good work in the match, however the whole concept of most of the match the worked totally stretched my suspension of disbelief.

Yeah he was still pretty green and bland at that point. Totally different guy now. Would have to re jig his fun explosiveness into a singles style.

Nah dude, give it to Big E and then have 3MB reunite to take on New Day over the tag titles and world title.

I really hope they aren't making Survivor Series a Raw vs. SmackDown themed event again, or at least not a main event that necessitates putting all programs on hold so that everybody can fight in brand-colored T-shirts.
SmackDown's would depend on where they go from here with the story but Owens and Zayn heading up the heel team would make sense with guys like Styles and Orton available for the face side. I think they could come up with something compelling. Raw's could be something like Braun, Miz, Wyatt, Sheamus, and Cesaro vs. Joe, Balor, and The Shield I'd much rather that than see a mishmash of those guys on the same team because "brand pride". |

Usos and New Day have been killing it for months. Feel like the feud will continue to Survivor Series as well since there was another title change and they're not exactly trying to build up any other team on the blue brand.
Thought the Usos were the most boring thing ever until their heel turn, and they've just been amazing for the better part of a year now. |

Big E is way more fun and better on the mic with more connection w the audience while being nowhere as protected as Roman. Youre just being a hater.
