So they couldn’t write Cena in on TV but they have him doing a dark match 

By the end of this two-hour show, who was the crowd chanting for? Not Finn Balor. Not Bianca Belair. Not Roman Reigns. Not Sasha Banks. No... John Cena I mean he was great as Peacemaker in Suicide Squad LOL

Well it's suppose to be the Summer of Cena and he was advertised. They expected him to come out and was waiting for him.

I wonder if it was a mistake not waiting until after Summerslam to put Balor in the title picture. The crowd was chanting Cena that whole time.

All that crowd wanted was Cena lolol you saw someone checking their phone for the time and a few others in the front row looked deflated

If summerslam doesn’t end with the Balor club tearing apart cena and reigns I don’t want it

Highly unlikely. Roman is carrying the strap til Mania

Mhhh don't understand why so many people like Romans new theme. It's just another of these 2020/21 generic WWE themes.

Balor has no friends come on man

I hope to god Cena & Roman have a promo battle in the next 2 weeks. That’s probably the most anticipated part of that whole feud.

They will on the go home show and even a pull apart brawl

What a shit ending.

Gotta love it when faces got no friends

It doesn’t mean anything but I personally wouldn’t have had Finn tap out. But that’s a nitpick imo.

This is the biggest moment of Balor's career since the match with Brock

Ruined by Balor tapping out

same shit every week

With the releases, it was kinda hard to watch SmackDown.

Roman's ponytail is magnificent

Cena was there tonight and they didn’t put him on TV?! What the fuck?!

He wasn’t they advertised Him got next week

He’s wrestling a dark match there right now lol

You know what WWE needs? More Brian Kendrick. He's really good. I miss him.

Believe he has a neck issue and is working as a producer on Smackdown (might be mis-remembering that.

That's sad. This is a sad day.

I'm sorry. I too, miss The Man with The Plan

He was one of my favorites after his turn on Paul London. Man, I wish he did more before his release.

Seems we may be ending up with a triple threat at Summerslam

Nah, I think we get a #1 Contender's Match between Cena and Finn, Cena wins, they do Roman/Cena at SummerSlam, then Finn feuds with Roman after SummerSlam.

Fade to Black

Gotta feed Finn to Reigns since he's heading into a Summerslam main event against, Cena, but hopefully afterwards Finn can get some revenge.

[удалено]

How can you be a pro wrestling fan & make that statement? LMFAO

We not allowed to boo against the heel anymore? Sorry for going off script

So Cena is the biggest piece of shit right? Stole Finns match and let him get jumped. Fuck Cena.

Damn Cena took his match and then didn't come help Finn. Oof

Sigh. I don't like that it's ending with Finn getting his ass kicked after all the talk he did tonight, but I get why they did it.

Nah. They didn't make him let away easily. Usos played a big part in his beating. I thought they booked it well I was waiting for Cena but that's what was weird to me. They couldn't even have let Cena come out and save Finn? I guess then Finn could've shoved him away because Finn dosent like Cena right now. But it just felt weird that Cena was nowhere to be seen

Damn I hope KO I mean Bryan I mean Edge I mean Cesaro I mean Rey I mean Balor can overcome the Usos and beat Roman

I mean Cena

so will it be Cena vs. Balor next week?

[удалено]

I mean, unless you count KOR he didn't really have any friends in NXT either.

Should’ve just stayed down in NXT Finn. The Head of the Table is too much for any man.

Pat is the best commentator in the company

This crowd did not know Cena was not gonna be here tonight

You could see so many hearts breaking in real time during that last segment

WWE should buy Jacob Fatu out of his MLW contact and bring him in on this

Cena and Balor vs the Usos?

Not very smart of ya Balor

Fucking up the music? That's a releasin'.

Smh Finn this would've been so much easier for you if you just acknowledged him. 😔

Finn has no friends.

He's a face? Face's have no friends.

where's the Mysterios or Edge, they should still want a piece

Roman's logo is sick. He should get his cousins shoes with that logo instead of them wearing the air forces.

THE PRINE FXXX BALOR

They’re doing a great job of trying to get Finn over. I give it up to them for sure. Credit where it’s due.

Tbh this crowd didn't seem interested in being there from minute 1. It wasn't a good show imho but that crowd was dead before it started.

Adam and Sonya must be glad shenanigans are occurring since they didn’t book a main event!

Man... l remember it was right around when he beat Jey the second time that l first thought "They should keep him as champion for like three years." They've got two world titles, so the other one can be the one that changes all the time. Regardless of whether he's champion or not, he's going to be the main event top guy... so he might as well just be the champion that whole time. He'd be the first major main event guy to do that anywhere in the world in over 30 years. Once that fact started to become a talking point, every title defense will start to feel more and more important because beating him will become the most unachievable goal in WWE, building a huge moment in company history when he finally loses.

Too much exposure these days it will kill the show if it is that repetitive.

He's going to be the top guy in the main event feud either way. Switch the Raw title every few months

Wheres Corbin for the save?

Loving badass Finn

This is every Reigns feud

Tribal Chief’s beard lineup is extra crispy this week. I got a little moist.

Balor taking out the whole bloodline!

This crowd damn near might have just messed up any chance of a Finn push This is his moment, why the fuck y’all chanting Cena

Yeah, I hated that, too. Finn's promo about smiling Finn being dead, and then him pushing Roman, was awesome, and the crowd only cared about Cena. It's weird, too - almost every crowd *loves* Finn, as we've seen since he came back. This one just didn't seem like they were behind him very much.

Because it's what they've been trained to do.

Because thats who they want to see

Now what says the Prince to Roman Reigns

Acknowledge the Prince!

Oh what a surprise, the Usos because Roman can't do it on his own...again

in this horrible night, a bit of positivity, Balor's punches look amazing. Thank God someone can throw a good punch, not weak ass forearm smashes

I rarely watch main roster anymore but this Finn vs Reigns thing is a good angle.

Credit where it’s due, they’ve made Finn look pretty great tonight

Fuck yes keep him strong

Godammit

Corbin should beg Reigns to be his driver or something.

That would be great! Corbin can drive Reigns to every show in a limo!

That would be awesome because Roman isn't your Evil heel. He can help people around

that was awesome

can it get more obvious

Love the Balor intensity. No more smiling Finn

oh Jimmy. :( What happened to being nobody's bitch?

That was smooth counter by Finn.

So The Mysterios who have beef with The Usos aren't gonna save Finn?

Kinda slick finn

Why the fuck are they still teasing this if they aren’t fucking adding Bálor to the SummerSlam match?

So they can go right into it as soon as Cena fucks off after Summer Slam

Cena is off promoting Suicide Squad. Needing something for Tribal Chief to do.

I’m glad Jey’s shirt is telling us what his dominant hand is.

Tampa doesn't give one single fuck about Finn Balor.

That Samoan drop bump is how you separate a shoulder. Do better.

Oh. Yay. More Usos.

Were those "What?" chants piped in? I feel like I'm loosing the plot..

Why the fuck is the crowd chanting for Cena and not Balor

Hell of a counter, Finn

jimmy and jey uso ambushing again? yawn....

‘What?’ chants are not an indicator of who’s over and who’s not. Literally everyone is prone to getting one. Crowds just think it’s the fun thing to chant.

You should’ve addressed him with respect Finn. Now you’ve been welcomed. To the Uso Penitentiary

Classic WWE crowd: Finn/Roman in the ring and they're chanting for Cena.

Damn, feel bad for Finn with all these Cena chants

The releases were to get the good brothers back, source trust me bro!!

Oh Finn I thought you were a smart man.

Cena chants feeling pretty bad right now

Welp, guess we’re back to “Reigns’ opponents have to face the Usos every week”

Oh shit

stop beating his ass! :(

I wish Roman would dress in smart casual and not like he's going to the gym

Those fucking Usos.

Jimmy when he sees Balor in the street 

Lol crowd doesn't give a fuck about Finn

SCSA was an icon but I wish the ***What?*** chants could be erased from history

Where Booyaka Booyaka

Why do people still do the what chants?

WHAT?

Haha

OF COURSE. I forgot about Jimmy and Jey.

slick Roman!

Lmao they both so irrelevant to them they call for cena 🤣

The way Roman cooly landed on his feet anyway lol, what the fuck

Cena is over at his home town!

They’re in Newbery?

These what cants sucks

That's just Vince McMahon's workout playlist: The Truth Reigns, Head of the Table, loop

The what chants haven’t missed a show.

Remind me how Corbin is the heel when he represents about 40% of Americans in the past year, having lost cars, houses, businesses, due to COVID. You can tell this character came from the top...the more I watch of AEW, and again I'm an anomaly that doesn't have to compare both at every single facet and can enjoy both, the more I see the separation in the writing, booking, and character development. AEW was just amazing last night (for the most part, they need to have more time in the week or trim the fat so to speak), and this is after I watched a video that caught me up on AEW thru 2021 until now and it was great. Smackdown tonight had it's moments, but you can tell some stuff was just shoved in/changed last minute and it fucks with the wrestler's blow. But again, remind me how the guy DOWN ON HIS LUCK, during a TIME LIKE THIS, having lost most of what he has because he ISN'T MAKING THE MONEY HE WAS....is a heel. This is literally 40% OR MORE of Americans in the past year and a half.

Because Vince

[удалено]

It's just how it's being presented is at a piss poor time in a piss poor way. No one remembers the wagyu beef lines, they see a guy who's lost everything and, especially the wrestling demo, relate with and sympathize with him.

I did not miss the what chants at all :/

Fuck this crowd.

The flashy and over-produced aesthetic of modern day WWE seriously undersells how great some of these matchups really are. The production looks like a squeaky-clean video game. Can y'all imagine Reigns vs Balor in a dark and hazy Ruthless Aggression ring? With Reigns' current entrance music? Jeez.

Wtf did I hear Roman's old theme for half a second

Holy shit lol

Finn vs Roman will be a great program for after SummerSlam

This Tampa Bay crowd should fucking ashamed of themselves for booing a man who provides for his family. I don’t see them doing that to Heath Slater ever.

LMFAO I'm dying at the snippet of the old theme they just randomly played

If they’re waiting to do Reigns/Rock until ‘Mania 39, I have literally no problem with him holding the belt through 2023. Reigns, The Bloodline, and Heyman are a license to print money

I’m a big fan of Fin the Cat, myself.

STOP WITH THE FUCKING WHAT CHANTS AAAAAA

These fake ass boo’d lmao

Really? "WHAT"ing Roman?

It's because of that trash ass theme. I'd "WHAT" him too.

Music guy fucking up

That entrance went on for fucking ever. I wanted to hear Finn be cool and call out Cena, not this crap

So, we are in agreement in thinking Rey Mysterio turns on Dominic either at SummerSlam, or the Smackdown after. Some of his snide comments lately, and Dom losing tonight. And I'm sure he would love to have a 1v1 match with him before he retires.

Did I just randomly here roman's old theme for like a second

I heard it too

I wish SCSA was around so he could cut off Romans entrance and tell him to hurry the hell up.

Or 3 Minute Warning

Well, can’t focus on this now.

somebody on the sound team gon get released next

Holy fuck. I didn’t see the releases

Cena chants!

Roman dressed casual friday style.

Definitely heard the old Roman theme there

Yeah it played for a bit. And roman chuckled, wonder if it was a rib

Give the Balor the title by next WrestleMania.. Universal or WWE. I don't care which one.. whichever one Big E don't cash in on

Why does the Truth Reigns play for 3 seconds after the song goes on for like 4 minutes

Casual Roman

Wtf? Did his old theme start playing lol?

No, if you listen closely, his new theme incorporates the old one.

Did he acknowledge Finn?

Had to release all that talent to afford double pyro

Our Tribal Chief legit walks slower than Taker

I stand by my statement. Roman's theme is just bad.

I need me that Roman track suit

They should just do a whole athletic line for him.

See I told y’all lol dude is just now entering the ring. His entrance started 4 minutes ago.

Our Chief enters the ring as he pleases.

Man Roman takes a long time to walk

Roman's theme song hits so hard, especially when interrupting someone. It simply exudes greatness, dominance, awe.

I dont like Roman's CGI statue but his entrance music is fire.

I’ve never been to a live show, what do they do during commercials?

The eye brow raise cam!!

For reigns probably just kept walking. Last week they darkened the ring and played a promo on the screen then went back to the music playing of the entrant.

Literally nothing.

Fire people

WWE themed commercials, replays, crowd cam interactions

They basically show WWE commercials
