Whose watching the presser?! Austin Theory open challenge tomorrow.... EDGE ACCEPTS IT! MORE FANTASY POINTS FOR THEORY!

 

[#Waddles]

yup

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Not me.

 

[BSE]

What's the point of Lockdown? None, wrestlin' is always pointless but we want Sami to beat Roman

What would KO and the Usos do? They’re a major part of this story (Sami has a lot more history with Jey and KO than Roman anyway). You can’t just leave them out.

I’d love to see Sami winning the title but I don’t buy it. Sorry.

If you heard the reaction to that match... it was the right result on paper but WWE done fucked up. Expecting MEGA go-away heat for both Reigns and Cody

 

[Lethal]

how? Cody was always the story. This isn't Batista leapfrogging Bryan

 

[Sky]

That wasn't shocked silence, that was betrayal

 

[Lethal]

nah, heavily disagree. the story always was cody vs roman. sami & ko against the usos. sucks, but that's the truth.

 

[Lethal]

when the belts get split, Sami may get his flowers sometime later this year

 

[Lethal]

(unified belts is so stupid)

 

[Cwalker]

Have they made the “All Rhodes lead to WrestleMania” pun yet?

 

[Red Eyed Demon]

Great show overall.

The Good -

The women's chamber match was decent and there was only one obvious winner.

The men's chamber match was much better than I expected and featured many great spots. There was only one obvious winner here as well.

The main event was exactly what I thought it would be. Lots of sports entertainment stuff going on as expected. Two referee bumps was a bit too much even though they told a story here. The silent crowd during the final pinfall was pure gold.

Anyone expecting Sami to win was missing the point. This isn't the end of the story it's just a big chapter leading to the end. The final chapter comes at WrestleMania as it should be with KO and Zayn taking on the Usos. Can't wait for the build up and the relationship between Jey and Sami to implode.


The Bad -

The booking of Lashley vs. Lesnar. I'm not sold in the story as it makes Lesnar looks like a geek. It also portrays Lesnar as the heel who can't beat the more dominant baby-face in Lashley. It's not really something I can get behind. I was hoping this feud would come to an end and both guys could move on. What was the point of having Bray challenge the winner anyway?

Wasn't a fan of Edge and Beth going over unless this is the end of the feud. Fun match overall but I think it should have ended with the brass knuckles spot setting up a WrestleMania match for Balor and Edge. Or I'd have Rhea go over Beth

That blue attire reminds me of Raquel's NXT days
