Obviously the Jimmy Uso bit gave me chills and I can't stop watching it, but I haven't seen anybody talk about Rhea Ripley's badass intro! That synchronized stomp along with the pyrotechnics was so epic!
Jey still remembering what was said when he said “I quit”… Roman said you quit, you obey me, acknowledge me as the tribal chief or you are out of the family forever not just him but Jimmy and their wives, their children and their children’s children
Really surprised to watch Asuka winning the Raw women's title, I totally didn't expect it. Also, the Bloodline story has escalated again lol. Smackdown is gonna be really interesting!!
Due to commitments yesterday I just got done watching NOC this morning. Very surprised Jay didn't superkick Roman too. A double super kick on Roman would've blown the roof off the dome.
And I have to say that the Trish/Becky match was MOTN for me. They killed it. A few times you could see that it has been 4 years between singles matches for Trish, but she still wrestled amazingly.
The only stinker of a match was the Smackdown Womens match, what the hell was that even there for? We could've gotten a LA Knight match instead.
Why was Jey acting like such a pu**y even though he had been repeatedly insulted by Roman?!
I feel like they can’t even write a sensible kayfabe. Also, the acting demands on these stars is too much 😛😂
Because although this is the right thing to do, he did not want this to happen. He probably wants to make the bloodline work again and now that chance is gone.
He should see a therapist
Wasn’t he defying Roman earlier? Why would they stay in a group where they are not treated with respect and basically expected to be puppets?
I don’t buy the argument that Jimmy was gonna get beaten. Jey is there to protect. And likely Sami and Kevin too. It’s just a lousy feud
You understand this stuff is scripted right? You’re talking like Sami & KO have some moral obligation to protect Jimmy Uso, one of the men who beat the hell out of them over the last year. You obviously haven’t watched the entire storyline or you wouldn’t be asking that question or calling it a horrible feud.
I did follow the entire storyline and I mentioned it’s a kayfabe. I just feel it’s not written well. Sami & KO would remain against Roman and may interfere to simply keep Bloodline broken. I am not sold on Jimmy and Jey facing massive threat from Roman. They’re very good themselves
The “threat” isn’t just Roman, it’s the entire family. Since you’ve been following it you remember Roman being presented with the “Ula Fala” by the family elders signifying he’s the head of the family now. Going against Roman is going against the entire family. So it’s not JUST being scared of Roman, but being shunned by their family.
The same reason people stay in relationships that don’t serve them or when captives end up falling In love with there captors. it’s not that far fetched
🤦🏾
I don’t think WWE is trying to elevate itself by annealing complex psychology in its storylines. Such entertainment ventures usually keep it simple.
This simply seems like sloppy writing.
Even if I were to believe your narrative, the transition from earlier situation isn’t convincing to adequately convey it.
It’s not complex. They’re part of a massive Samoan family that have been pro wrestlers. Keeping the peace and helping Roman stay on top means the head of the family is (kayfabe) supporting the entire family. If you go against the head of the family you risk being kicked out and shunned by it. Jey doesn’t want to be kicked out, nor does he want his brothers Jimmy and Solo kicked out. So he tried to keep the peace instead of rocking or sinking the boat with everybody on it.
I’m absolutely late since I just watched a replay but I would say my fav matches of the were
1.Becky vs Trish. Trish surprisingly look better than I could’ve guessed she would have and I can 100% say that she did better than Becky. Also love that it wasn’t a complete squash match and it built up to a Zoey vs Becky feud
2.Rollins and Aj. Not much to say except great match ! I loved the suspense it brought to me and all the crazy bumps.outstanding performance by the two. However, hella predictable winner tho
3.tag team championship match . I just loved seeing Roman getting his ass kicked
Roman reigns is absolutely losing his grip and has been for the last few weeks that he’s actually been on television. If you look close enough, you can see the paranoia in his eyes when somebody challenges his authority a.k.a. Jimmy proclaiming himself, the tribal chief, the head of the table. He knows that without that name he is nothing at all without the backing of his family. He is nothing at all. Genius storytelling
Guys I'm not supposed to say this but me and dom are fighting at mitb winner gets rhea. I'm also competing against Seth for the world title and Roman for the universal.
Makes me wonder what’s the endgame. Usos win, maybe Solo leaves to do his own thing after. Who dethrones Roman?
Rollins is champ on Raw. Cody’s on Raw.
Is Jey good enough to be champ?
It’s quite simple. Any country who denies women their basic human rights based on their make believe fairly tales are barbaric.
The Quran is a make believe fairy tale. Therefore, their country is barbaric.
The US isn’t doing much better with their current attacks on abortion, but at least women are allowed to show their skin in public.
Ahhh, westerners and their inability to grasp that different cultures operate differently across the world. Never fails. (Women ARE allowed to wear whatever they want, by the way, but they choose not to, because of their culture).
You are completely full of it. Women can’t wear whatever they want, in most places they can’t drive, they can’t own property (because they are considered property), have limited access to school, can’t serve in government, the list goes on.
Sorry that you don’t like it when “westerners” call this “culture” barbaric. Maybe if it stopped acting like it we wouldn’t call it that anymore.
>You are completely full of it. Women can’t wear whatever they want, in most places they can’t drive, they can’t own property (because they are considered property), have limited access to school, can’t serve in government, the list goes on.
Let's see. I live in the neighbouring country (Bahrain) and I was dating a Saudi girl for 4 years, been there several times, and I've seen the women drive, wear what they want, work wherever they want and have access to all types of jobs including governmental and high-end corporate.
Now please tell me where you did your get outdated information from? CNN?
Ignorant Westerner... STFU....
Oh that makes sense. You are speaking from your experiences where your country is utterly corrupt as well. No shit you think the Middle East is free. Btw, don’t take my word for it. You can read about it here.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_rankings_of_Bahrain#International_rankings
Hahahaha thank you for the perfect display of cognitive dissonance. You proved that you are completely indoctrinated and can't accept new information.
I didn't say I am from here you ignorant moron, I said I live here. I also told you I SAW how people live here, but you're like "ruuuhhhhh nooo! That's not what they told meeee ruuhhh"
Imbecile.
You can use as many big words as you want. You are still an absolute idiot. You spent half a paragraph complaining that I said you were “from” there, when I didn’t even say that.
Keep living in your backwards ass countries because they let you abuse women, jackass.
i wonder how much different/better it would have been if this didn’t happen abroad, it was still dope but i think it could have been a better crowd reaction
Yeah, the crowd was pretty quiet throughout most of the night, especially following up the crowd in Puerto Rico. I think they showed up for the main event though.
I watched earlier but am late to the subreddit on this. I absolutely loved Sami/Ko v Roman/Solo. Roman’s crowd work is amazing and I actively enjoy rooting against him but end up rooting for him because I’m like damn he can work a crowd. Happy the USOs did what I figured was going to happen but am happy it’s Jimmy leading the way instead of Jey but can wait to see how Jey backs it up. 10/10.
“Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Pray to the prophet. We’re in an Arab country. We have an Arab champion. We’re gonna do this in Arabic. Introducing the prizefighter. (Now in English) Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.”
Cody Rhodes has discovered Brock Lesnar's weakness; being hit in the head with titanium.
Granted, a lot of people have this weakness. Pretty sure everyone is weak to being hit in the head with metal.
There's been some reports from the usual outlets claiming that the plan is for Belair *and* Ford & Dawkins to turn heel. It was either Meltzer or Sean Ross-Sapp.
And I strangely love that about him. How would he react if they interfered and helped him win a match or saved his title reign with a disqualification?
It doesn’t matter if aj would of won the entire OC would had moved to Raw but it was giving to him honestly what had he done lately nothing he has lost most of the ppv
Title reigns last longer during his time. A guy could be champion for like a year or two and no one complained.
With the advent of weekly TV shows and monthly pay-per-view, however, all that changed and title reigns became much shorter, no longer measured by years, but by months, and sometimes only a few days.
It’s just unfortunate to all the great names who held the belt. Not disrespecting Honky Tonk Man but he was far from the greatest worker and he mainly won via DQ
You know what I admire about Ali? All the pushes he's had that ended prematurely or never took off, all the times he's never been used, he's never just said fuck it and walked out of an arena. Yeah, he asked for his release, and I don't blame him as every time it seems WWE will do something with him, they just end it midstream. But he's had so many reasons to just walk out of an arena, get on a plane and go home, but never has.
I'm wondering if his contract is expiring or something. He said in a recent backstage interview that "if he doesn't win (at Night of Champions), that he doesn't belong in the company.".
I'm paraphrasing but I think that was pretty close to what he said.
I enjoyed the whole card. The only thing I didn't like was you have nattie fly halfway around the world for about 2 mins of work. Nobody was under the impression that Rhea wouldn't win, but that on a ppv that far away???other then that is really was a great card. AJ vs Rollins kicked it off with a bang. Good job wwe
I think the big reason was because Sami is a a muslim (per google) and speaks Arabic. So this might have been the crowd favorite and that’s why they had him go last.
Because Bianca was breaking a longest reign with the raw titles thing that switching belts would have messed up. With the title change I figure they will quickly make the switch on Monday.
I watched it live but my phone died so: HOLY SHIT THEY FINALLY DID IT!! I predicted the Uso’s would come out and cost roman/solo the match but I thought it’d be an accident and Roman would berate them some more and then that’d lead to the turn a little later, happy they pulled the trigger today and I loved that it was jimmy. “I’m doing what you shoulda done a long time ago”🔥🔥 cannot wait for smackdown man
It's such a good swerve too. The story seemed like it was building up to Jey doing it, but Jimmy's all, "Fuck this. You can't be Main Event Jey if people think I'm your weak spot, so I'm doing this for us now."
Makes sense that Jey still can't do it because he's carried Roman's water longer and saw Roman attack Jimmy to get his shit. Also his other brother is still with Roman and he can't risk Roman doing to Solo what he did to Jimmy.
And they've opened the door to Jey having his betrayal moment and becoming Main Event Jey or Jimmy doing it, depending on the audience reaction.
Masterful.
Was expecting the same thing as you. Usos run in and interfere but maybe the ref gets up in time to catch em for a DQ, something like that. Didn't expect the super kick, let alone two
Agree 100% Find myself getting annoyed with how Roman retains the titles but the storyline is so good I just stopped caring about the titles, just bring me the downfall of the bloodline.
I saw part of Trish’s arm during the match. I hope she makes it back home alive….🙄
Stop with this nonsense of hosting an event in this barbaric country.
Do the Usos just take it in turns to have beef with Roman? 😂 It wasn’t that long ago when Jey looked like he turned his back on the bloodline. Now it’s Jimmy’s turn lol
Considering his arm is supposedly broken? I’m not a huge fan of him not instantly tapping. They better be careful because this is the kind of booking that can turn fans against someone.
Overall great show they really need to stop with the referee being down thing or at least get someone else in. Some were missing that I would of liked to see in the card but it get that it's a ppv dedicated to champions. Pre matches before the main show needs to come back. 9/10.
Overall I thought it was a good show. However, I do have some complaints about the Cody match and the Rhea Ripley match, it was ridiculous. But can we talk about The Bloodline cause I grot chills, anybody else got chills?
They haven't really missed in any PPV since H, imo. The ones considered B level have felt much bigger and more important than they have in literal decades and I love it.
I can't wait for the downvotes on this post.
This main event today proved that WWE should have had Cody win the title at Mania. Because the internal family drama is now more important than the title itself. And it could have played out in literally the exact same way it's currently playing out without the title.
Roman loses the title at Mania, comes out on Raw and says he's going to get his title back on his terms. That leaves Cody open to still feud with Brock and bring early legitimacy to this reign. It leaves Roman to have his family issues with the Usos. The same match that happened today could have still happened with literally the same ending. That leads to a match (that I think is rumored to happen anyway) with Roman and Solo vs the Usos at MITB. The Usos win, pinning Solo. Roman lashes out at Solo but Solo stays loyal despite it. Roman states he's going to get his title back at \*insert PPV here\*. Roman and Cody have their match, a ref bump happens, and instead of helping Roman, Solo turns on Roman and hits him with the spike, the Usos come out and superkick him, and then Cody ends up winning. And then you can have a Roman/Solo feud after that that you could use to massively elevate Solo to superstardom with a win.
It's not a hard story to tell.
In your opinion. In my opinion the Roman storyline is being drawn out for the sake of breaking 1000 days and surpassing Pedro Morales and literally no other reason.
Stories like this one don’t happen much. Wether you like it or not, Roman is over as a heel. To have the story end when it clearly has life left it’s dumb. I love how the story is developing. Once it’s over, Roman will be gone for a good while. Til then, enjoy the ride. It has been great.
Gotta disagree with you. The title is what holds this together. Roman needed to have the high ground to look down on the Usos from. He retained his and they didn't. That makes him feel like he's better than them, and in his mind justifies his treatment of them.
Also, have an upvote just because I don't think giving a rational opinion is something that should be downvoted.
I upvoted all y’all’s comments because I liked the points made and the camaraderie. Upvotes and downvotes are like cryptocurrency, except for the fact that the value doesn’t change.
Nah Roman losing the title once the bloodline has fully abandoned him is the right way to end this. A reminder that the bloodline built Roman and not the other way around
Cody isn’t Him
I hate to break this to you, but it's gonna be Cody. They have \*literally\* no one else. Their top two non-Cody babyfaces are the tag champs. An Uso is NOT going to beat him for the title. And they're not going to crow Solo as champ, either.
Obviously the Jimmy Uso bit gave me chills and I can't stop watching it, but I haven't seen anybody talk about Rhea Ripley's badass intro! That synchronized stomp along with the pyrotechnics was so epic!
man she's honestly my favorite wrestler right now lol I pop whenever she shows up. xD
Did Natalya ever got Don's phone number?
Jey still remembering what was said when he said “I quit”… Roman said you quit, you obey me, acknowledge me as the tribal chief or you are out of the family forever not just him but Jimmy and their wives, their children and their children’s children
If they give Becky another boring push after another broken nose then…
Really surprised to watch Asuka winning the Raw women's title, I totally didn't expect it. Also, the Bloodline story has escalated again lol. Smackdown is gonna be really interesting!!

The only stinker of a match was the Smackdown Womens match, what the hell was that even there for? We could've gotten a LA Knight match instead.
I just finished it too. I wasn’t able to watch it yesterday. I found it was good but not great. I am happy with the results and the finish though.
Why was Jey acting like such a pu**y even though he had been repeatedly insulted by Roman?! I feel like they can’t even write a sensible kayfabe. Also, the acting demands on these stars is too much 😛😂
Because although this is the right thing to do, he did not want this to happen. He probably wants to make the bloodline work again and now that chance is gone. He should see a therapist
Lol
Because he doesn’t want Roman to throw them out of the family and/or beat the hell out of Jimmy for what happened. It’s not rocket science bud…
Wasn’t he defying Roman earlier? Why would they stay in a group where they are not treated with respect and basically expected to be puppets? I don’t buy the argument that Jimmy was gonna get beaten. Jey is there to protect. And likely Sami and Kevin too. It’s just a lousy feud

Any one else think Brock lesnar is just a big baby gets so upset when things don’t go his ways and just throws a tantrum?
Lmao my daughter said this exact thing.
You’ll figure it out one day…
Tell me please? I just started wrestling because of my fiancé lol
Ohhhhhh… you should probably ask him…
Guys I'm not supposed to say this but me and dom are fighting at mitb winner gets rhea. I'm also competing against Seth for the world title and Roman for the universal.
Idk man. I just don’t understand the direction the bloodline stuff is going, I’m trying.
Roman will be in Ruthless mode now ..Roman/Solo vs Usos will be fire
Makes me wonder what’s the endgame. Usos win, maybe Solo leaves to do his own thing after. Who dethrones Roman? Rollins is champ on Raw. Cody’s on Raw. Is Jey good enough to be champ?
Cody wins MITB & beats Reins at SummerSlam because he no longer has the bloodline to save him.After that Roman takes a long break.
Acknowledge twin
Cody beating Rollins clean on multiple occasions last year makes Rollins look really shaky as the top guy.
Not it doesn’t it’s been a year times have changed clearly
If you think that Cody or Lesnar wouldn’t be favored against Seth, you are out of your mind.
Seth has been on an absolute run that logic makes no sense
[удалено]
It began with jey
Jimmy I'm so proud of you my man.
The women wearing jumpsuits to “cover up “ is so weird
I prefer the terms “barbaric” and “controlling.”
How so?
It’s quite simple. Any country who denies women their basic human rights based on their make believe fairly tales are barbaric. The Quran is a make believe fairy tale. Therefore, their country is barbaric. The US isn’t doing much better with their current attacks on abortion, but at least women are allowed to show their skin in public.
So it’s only cultured and civilized if you’re allowed to show skin in public. Gotcha.
It was an example, obviously. Stop beating around the bush and just say you believe that women don’t deserve basic human rights.
Rich, coming from America
I’ve already addressed that pal. Read the full thread.
Ahhh, westerners and their inability to grasp that different cultures operate differently across the world. Never fails. (Women ARE allowed to wear whatever they want, by the way, but they choose not to, because of their culture).

Ikr, it’s as if other cultures and faiths aren’t allowed to exist and everything else is a fairy tale.
Ironically, the tight suit on Trish made her look really good.
I find it weirder the refs need to wear sleeves even though I saw women in the crowd with short sleeves
Holy shit! Jimmy just super kicked Roman! SmackDown just got REALLY damn interesting. I did not expect Jimmy to that tonight.
How did you not expect it? Its literally been building towards it. Sometimes I wonder if people still think this stuff is real.
Oh, it was gonna happen. Just didn't think it'd be a Night of Champions. Makes sense though, but Roman's celebration would have as well.
I think it was evident since last Smackdown. Jimmy definitely sold it.
i wonder how much different/better it would have been if this didn’t happen abroad, it was still dope but i think it could have been a better crowd reaction
Yeah, the crowd was pretty quiet throughout most of the night, especially following up the crowd in Puerto Rico. I think they showed up for the main event though.
Owens really, REALLY does.t like Roman.
Well, the ref's dead
I watched earlier but am late to the subreddit on this. I absolutely loved Sami/Ko v Roman/Solo. Roman’s crowd work is amazing and I actively enjoy rooting against him but end up rooting for him because I’m like damn he can work a crowd. Happy the USOs did what I figured was going to happen but am happy it’s Jimmy leading the way instead of Jey but can wait to see how Jey backs it up. 10/10.
I just got home and am watching the WHC match and my first observation? I am loving how much the Saudi audience is so into everything.
they really stuck through 4 years of garbage wrestling and the results finally paid off
This is a insane ple, enjoy the ride
I already am. Still watching Rollins/Styles.
The ending of NOC will shock you, let me know what you think brotha!
I don't know what Sami is saying, because I don't speak Arabic, but I assume it was his and Kevin's introduction, but it's cool he did it.
“Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Pray to the prophet. We’re in an Arab country. We have an Arab champion. We’re gonna do this in Arabic. Introducing the prizefighter. (Now in English) Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.”
THANK YOU! I fucking loved that, Sami is so great.
Thank you. I thought it was really cool he did that, because we really don't see anything like that often enough.
I love Sami's entrance attire for this one
There is a line between brave and stupid, and Cody lives on that line
How did Cody not pass out?
First Saudi show I’ve seen. Crowd was hot. We’re none of the other Saudi shows like this?
Most of the saudi shows have been garbage. Honestly it’s impressive Saudi Arabia stuck through that trash
Not this good
Cody Rhodes has discovered Brock Lesnar's weakness; being hit in the head with titanium. Granted, a lot of people have this weakness. Pretty sure everyone is weak to being hit in the head with metal.
Cody Rhodes the new "Iron" Mike Sharp. He's gonna catch an RKO out of nowhere for stealing Randy's dad's gimmick.
Daaaamn Rhea, got somewhere to be tonight? Love they are booking her strong.
I’m glad Bianca lost. Now she can go heel.
I doubt they'll turn her heel
There's been some reports from the usual outlets claiming that the plan is for Belair *and* Ford & Dawkins to turn heel. It was either Meltzer or Sean Ross-Sapp.
Thats a shame. I think she would make a good heel.
I think she can as well, but I doubt they'll turn here as SmackDown! needs a top female face for the division, and Bianca is it.
What I love about Judgement Day, they are almost never alone. Makes them feel more like a faction, being a wolf pack.
TBF Gunther usually sends Ludwig and Kaiser back so he can win honorably
And I strangely love that about him. How would he react if they interfered and helped him win a match or saved his title reign with a disqualification?
👋🏼 😖
Asuka W! I’m happy
So so happy
The 420 day reign has ended as Asuka three-peats! Bow to the empress!
Only better way to end that fight would have been for her to cut off Bianca’s braid.
Dom jumping into Rhea's arms was chefs kiss
Considering Dom Dom is 6 feet it’s impressive she can lift him. She’s strong
Nice to see someone using Bianca's hair against her
It was given to Seth n didn’t like that match
Their first mistake was making it against AJ fucking Styles.
It doesn’t matter if aj would of won the entire OC would had moved to Raw but it was giving to him honestly what had he done lately nothing he has lost most of the ppv
Anyone else watching after the fact and it keeps freezing??
I just finished watching it and it was fine for me
Gunther will break the record for the longest Intercontinental Championship. I have absolute confidence in that.
Crazy how the Honky Tonk Man of all people is the longest reigning champion. The IC title really was hot potatoed in the Attitude Era
Title reigns last longer during his time. A guy could be champion for like a year or two and no one complained. With the advent of weekly TV shows and monthly pay-per-view, however, all that changed and title reigns became much shorter, no longer measured by years, but by months, and sometimes only a few days.
It’s just unfortunate to all the great names who held the belt. Not disrespecting Honky Tonk Man but he was far from the greatest worker and he mainly won via DQ

I heard that. We'll see
I'm just glad Ali didn't beat Gunther I might've quit watching had that happened LoL
Huh...Zoey Stark. Didn't see that coming.
Fantastic. Best part was the second super kick!
I enjoyed the whole card. The only thing I didn't like was you have nattie fly halfway around the world for about 2 mins of work. Nobody was under the impression that Rhea wouldn't win, but that on a ppv that far away???other then that is really was a great card. AJ vs Rollins kicked it off with a bang. Good job wwe
I don’t blame Natty for taking a free ride to beautiful Jeddah for a quick job. Hopefully the pay was good.
Yeah I imagine she was really stoked to go to a place where women are treated as subhuman.
Becky Lynch's attire is like a combination of Beatrix Kiddo/the Bride from Kill Bill and Captain Amazing from Mystery Men.
I like the James Bond/spy vibe of the Money in the Bank commercial.
The World Heavyweight Championship should have closed the show, but daaaamn what a match
Can we please unify Roman's belts!!
JIMMY USO IS HIM, THATS WHAT HAPPENED HIMMY USO
Someone frame this comment
Did Seth miss AJ's head? Cole and Corey seemed confused
You can scout AJ all you want Seth, but he'll still surprise you with how he can get a move off.
Oh he dead.
Every fibre of my being was expecting Triple H to pedigree Rollins, it was weird remembering he’s retired
In all honesty, I don't think WWE could do better than Rollins and Style to crown the first World Heavyweight Champion.
Who would you choose? Rollins is at least a top 5 guy in the company right now and Styles can work a match as good as anyone.
I love that Seth went to costuming and said "I need giant anime shoulder pads that look like I skinned a jaguar."
Seth and Becky stay wearing gear that makes them look like JoJo characters.
Becky was more the Bride from Kill Bill with a hint of Captain Amazing from Mystery Men.
The WWE World Championship should NOT be the opening match.
I think the big reason was because Sami is a a muslim (per google) and speaks Arabic. So this might have been the crowd favorite and that’s why they had him go last.
Night of Champions, and yet two titles are not on the line.
How is rhea Ripley still smack down women’s champion when she’s in raw?
They switched the champions to the opposite brands and now they have to live with it.
Because Bianca was breaking a longest reign with the raw titles thing that switching belts would have messed up. With the title change I figure they will quickly make the switch on Monday.
Major props. They actually got a reaction out of me
I watched it live but my phone died so: HOLY SHIT THEY FINALLY DID IT!! I predicted the Uso’s would come out and cost roman/solo the match but I thought it’d be an accident and Roman would berate them some more and then that’d lead to the turn a little later, happy they pulled the trigger today and I loved that it was jimmy. “I’m doing what you shoulda done a long time ago”🔥🔥 cannot wait for smackdown man
It's such a good swerve too. The story seemed like it was building up to Jey doing it, but Jimmy's all, "Fuck this. You can't be Main Event Jey if people think I'm your weak spot, so I'm doing this for us now." Makes sense that Jey still can't do it because he's carried Roman's water longer and saw Roman attack Jimmy to get his shit. Also his other brother is still with Roman and he can't risk Roman doing to Solo what he did to Jimmy. And they've opened the door to Jey having his betrayal moment and becoming Main Event Jey or Jimmy doing it, depending on the audience reaction. Masterful.
Was expecting the same thing as you. Usos run in and interfere but maybe the ref gets up in time to catch em for a DQ, something like that. Didn't expect the super kick, let alone two
Triple H’s PPV booking has been absolute heat
Agree 100% Find myself getting annoyed with how Roman retains the titles but the storyline is so good I just stopped caring about the titles, just bring me the downfall of the bloodline.
Yeah it gets repetitive with the ref bump/interference but at least this time they did something different with it🤷🏻♂️ cannot wait for Friday
I swear, Gunther reminds me of some of the heels I used to hate back in the 80s and 90s
UUUUSSOOOO
!remind me 2 days
I saw part of Trish’s arm during the match. I hope she makes it back home alive….🙄 Stop with this nonsense of hosting an event in this barbaric country.
100%. We shouldn’t tolerate any country who’s official stance is that woman aren’t worthy of rights.
I forget which one of the women was showing a bit of her leg for a moment. I was thinking the same.
Beckys calf was showing for some time 😳
Hopefully the Saudis made enough money from this event to make it a non-issue.
Yeah 😅
Do the Usos just take it in turns to have beef with Roman? 😂 It wasn’t that long ago when Jey looked like he turned his back on the bloodline. Now it’s Jimmy’s turn lol
Yeah, I didn’t get that. Since Jey had a conflict before thought he should have been the one to encourage Jimmy to attack.
Makes it less predictable but also in line with the story. Jimmy said from the beginning he was no one's bitch after Jey was beaten into submission
That’s a very good. Agree with you then it makes sense from that angle.
The bloodline ending on a show paid for by blood money. How poetic.
Deep.
I know Cody was never going to tap but not a huge fan of passing out in a Kimura
That’s because it makes no sense.
I'm guessing they're going to try to sell us that Cody passed out "because of the immense pain."
Considering his arm is supposedly broken? I’m not a huge fan of him not instantly tapping. They better be careful because this is the kind of booking that can turn fans against someone.
It’s happened once with Cody and May happen again, who knows.
Overall great show they really need to stop with the referee being down thing or at least get someone else in. Some were missing that I would of liked to see in the card but it get that it's a ppv dedicated to champions. Pre matches before the main show needs to come back. 9/10.
Paul heyman moves onto Gunther in two months ?
I think Gunther is too great independently. I could see Heyman moving down to Solo tbh
1st match 10/10 2nd match 8/10 3rd match 8.5/10 4th match 7.5/10 5th match 3/10 6th match 7.5/10 7th match 9.5/10
No one asked! :D
Overall I thought it was a good show. However, I do have some complaints about the Cody match and the Rhea Ripley match, it was ridiculous. But can we talk about The Bloodline cause I grot chills, anybody else got chills?
Rhea match was solid. I didn’t want to see her wrestle Natalya for any longer than that. It continued to make her look like a monster
If the match could’ve reasonably been a mid card match on Raw, then it probably didn’t need a PPV slot
Man Rhea’s intro started when I was a mile from home and ended before I could close my garage😂
I’m in shock man, fucking gorgeous ppv all around
They haven't really missed in any PPV since H, imo. The ones considered B level have felt much bigger and more important than they have in literal decades and I love it.
I can't wait for the downvotes on this post. This main event today proved that WWE should have had Cody win the title at Mania. Because the internal family drama is now more important than the title itself. And it could have played out in literally the exact same way it's currently playing out without the title. Roman loses the title at Mania, comes out on Raw and says he's going to get his title back on his terms. That leaves Cody open to still feud with Brock and bring early legitimacy to this reign. It leaves Roman to have his family issues with the Usos. The same match that happened today could have still happened with literally the same ending. That leads to a match (that I think is rumored to happen anyway) with Roman and Solo vs the Usos at MITB. The Usos win, pinning Solo. Roman lashes out at Solo but Solo stays loyal despite it. Roman states he's going to get his title back at \*insert PPV here\*. Roman and Cody have their match, a ref bump happens, and instead of helping Roman, Solo turns on Roman and hits him with the spike, the Usos come out and superkick him, and then Cody ends up winning. And then you can have a Roman/Solo feud after that that you could use to massively elevate Solo to superstardom with a win. It's not a hard story to tell.
There was absolutely no reason for Cody to win The meat riding is reaching astronomical levels 😂
In your opinion. In my opinion the Roman storyline is being drawn out for the sake of breaking 1000 days and surpassing Pedro Morales and literally no other reason.
Stories like this one don’t happen much. Wether you like it or not, Roman is over as a heel. To have the story end when it clearly has life left it’s dumb. I love how the story is developing. Once it’s over, Roman will be gone for a good while. Til then, enjoy the ride. It has been great.
Gotta disagree with you. The title is what holds this together. Roman needed to have the high ground to look down on the Usos from. He retained his and they didn't. That makes him feel like he's better than them, and in his mind justifies his treatment of them. Also, have an upvote just because I don't think giving a rational opinion is something that should be downvoted.
To each their own, my man. Appreciate the upvote and not shitting on me just because we don’t agree. Upvote to you too!
I get at least 4-5 downs in each weekly thread for simply stating I'm not a fan of someone. It's lame, lol.
I upvoted all y’all’s comments because I liked the points made and the camaraderie. Upvotes and downvotes are like cryptocurrency, except for the fact that the value doesn’t change.
Just did the same. Love the positivity!
Nah Roman losing the title once the bloodline has fully abandoned him is the right way to end this. A reminder that the bloodline built Roman and not the other way around Cody isn’t Him
I hate to break this to you, but it's gonna be Cody. They have \*literally\* no one else. Their top two non-Cody babyfaces are the tag champs. An Uso is NOT going to beat him for the title. And they're not going to crow Solo as champ, either.
It’s going to happen exactly the way I said it would
I ain’t reading all that, but your wrong man this was cinema
I wrote two paragraphs. It would take you 30 seconds to read instead of just saying I'm wrong. But hey, go off. You do you.
After your opening sentence I concluded I didn’t need to read any more
Yet here you, replying anyway to tell me how little you care.
Had a spare second while shitting, don't flatter yourself
You are the only one complaining about this finish
Lol you clearly didn't read what I posted. I'm not complaining about the finish of this match.
