Kevin Owens won the main event clean on a house show last night. Not often a heel wins the main event on house shows in WWE.

 

 

I think the exception is when they're a champion.

 

It was in Quebec too, so he was probably getting the biggest face reaction of the night anyway.

And it meant we got Bayley doing his entrance so it was almost worth getting injured for.

Just searched for a video of this, that's brilliant.

It's a shame that Lesnar's so far above Harper in the hierarchy. The suplex exhibition it's bound to be will still be good, but a proper hard-hitting slobberknocker between the two could be great.

Might it not be to help the performers develop in how to structure a match to a TV style? Knowing how to ebb and flow so you don't do all the best bits during an ad break when you get to Raw, sort of thing?

Good point, that does make sense. Still frustrating though.

The constant adverts during the main event this week did my head in. Is NXT still aired on TV anywhere? If not and it's just on the Network, there's no need to interrupt the matches.

In Viktor's defence, Itami looked bad running the ropes and hitting a couple of dropkicks. Not sure you can blame anyone else for that.

Unless he was knocked silly by him of course, as his mouth was busted open and he looked a bit dodgy on his feet at times.

Ah, that does make more sense than my guesses. Still looks stupid written down though.

I haven't watch ROH in ages but try to keep up-to-date with results. So the question I wonder the most when checking them is how on earth do you pronounce ReDRagon?

Is it Re-Dragon? Red-Ragon? Re-Dee-Ragon? Re-Dee-Arr-Agon?

Have we got Tribute to the Troops instead of NXT next week? Doesn't seem to be on the Sky planner.

Entertaining match, exactly as you'd expect from those two. You'd never see something like that on Raw. That stomp to the head . Regal's matches tend to matter a lot more now they're less often and are treated as special occasions.

And a pleasing amount of the lovely Renee Young this week.
