I'm assuming this is so they can play up whoever wins MITB as potentially cashing in on that episode of Raw, and depending who wins it might not be the worst way to move the belt onto a different story if they go that route. 

I'm probably being kind though, and it's just they aren't going to book Jey as a big deal, and they've got it in their heads that every show can only have 5 matches. 

I think Seth wins it and Roman screws up his cash in the next night on Raw.

Wonder who the third guy will be to join Seth. I speculated Bronson Reed last week but Bron has the monster thing so it kind of waters him down to put another monster in the group. There’s not a tag team they could add that would be remotely interesting.

There's been so much speculation about "who is the third man," especially on Twatter, that I hope there never is one.

Although to be a rock solid heel group I'd like them to have a tag team and for them to win the belts. Fantasy booking a new Dangerous Alliance, honestly, I'd give the Revival a call. I know its divisive but I loved them.

[Supremo]

He’s holding The Shield Chair! Third man confirmed. Case closed.

They released a clip of Roxane and Gulia bickering after losing the main event. Literally their match together on Raw. Hunter’s fetish for animosity knows no limit. I wonder if they can co-exist.

I noticed they were also saying the same with The War Raiders on commentary too about them being on the same page, maybe I haven't been paying attention but I have seen nothing to suggest why they wouldn't be?!

I took that as New Day just trying to create tension that wasn’t there, bringing up Ivar’s singles run when Eric was injured & missing tags when the other had got knocked off the apron.

I watched this. The usual recent WWE story - not much technically wrong with it but almost nothing to get excited about.

If they changed Rollins' theme then maybe this heel turn might work better. It's so stupid that he comes out and everyone's singing along to his theme and then starts booing him. Change the fucking tune. Rollins is out of material in this CM Punk feud. Enjoyed Punk's Reservoir Dogs reference though.

Gable dragged Penta to a good match and lost his 4,000,009th match in a row. Telling you now that Ludwig Kaiser is El Grande Americano.

Pretty good tag match. The New Day has run its course already. What a waste of time that was.

Gunther and Jey Uso again. For fuck's sake, why.

Fnblr the Fumblr had a match against AJ Styles. McAfee made some 'too sweet' references. Nobody cares about Bullet Club, it's 2025.

Becky came out and did John Cena's heel turn promos except longer, more boring and shitter. She only works as a babyface. Shite, this.

Good tag match to finish off. Why haven't they once mentioned that Roxanne Perez was the runner-up in the Rumble? What was the fucking point of that then? This storyline is going nowhere, though.

No Karrion. No Stephanie. No Lyra. I need to stop watching this.

[Supremo]

It was the best of times.

It was the worst of times.

Don't be fooled by those extremes, though. Other than Roxanne seducing Dom with chicken nuggets and Zoey Starks giving her leg an old fashioned Sid’ing, it was also 99% the dullest, most boring of times.

A really rubbish episode. Above average action, I suppose, but I couldn’t give less of a shit about any of it. Shades of AEW when their creative well ran dry a year or so ago. Relatively good wrestling just happening in front of my bored eyes.

The novelty has wore off Logan Paul to such a degree that he might as well be a human-sized pile of Pogs. Worse still, I think there’s a solid chance he wins the belt on Saturday.

I simply cannot watch CM Punk and Seth Rollins brawl anymore. It’s been eighty four years. Absolute gagging for a Draft if it means these two can do literally anything else.

Funny watching Seth struggle with his skinny jeans threatening to fall down on live TV. You live by the daft clothes to mask a complete lack of personality, you die by the daft clothes to mask a complete lack of personality.

The problem is that the pop for Punk when he came out was pretty fucking nuclear and the crowd in the arenas are hungry for anything Punk does. It is been wasted on that shithouse Rollins but we are all getting more of it until the pop dies down. 

[The King of Old School]

Agreed.

Imagine hearing that reaction for Punk last night, andd then deciding to go with some Cena/Travis Scott tag match at MITB instead of Cena/Punk.

I've lost all interest in this Rollins facseme already. I have no idea what anyone's motivation is or why I should care.

Happy for Bron though. He's great, but I still don't want to watch him against Jey Uso.

Annoying thing is he could be in exactly the position he's in now without all this Rollins shit. It's not like he was struggling before.

Are Rollins and Jericho friends?

[LaGoosh]

Is Rollins the most undeserving most pushed top star of all time? I think possibly, yes. He's been given a top push for almost ten years now and has never been at the level of his push. It's baffling. Can no one there in any senior position see how shit he is? I can only assume he's an absolutely lovely bloke who is best mates with all the top brass and they push him for that reason alone.

[BomberPat]

That's one of the many reasons I just don't give a shit about pairing him with Heyman. Heyman did a promo about how Rollins was the anointed true top star in WWE, and that's a really damning thing to have your heel manager say ten years after his new client first won the World Title. He's, at best, in the Triple H spot of "The Guy Who Works With The Guy Who Draws Money".

I think we've figured out the solution to LaGoosh's bafflement there.
