Opening

Roman Reigns comes out and he offers Finn Balor and title shot tonight and Finn comes out and accepts. Baron Corbin comes out and says that match will not happen. He also whines like a little baby and claims the match last night didn't count because it was against the Demon King and not Finn Balor. Kurt Angle comes out and reminds Corbin that he makes the matches. He makes the Universal title match between Finn and Roman. He then puts Corbin in a match vs Bobby Lashley.

Baron Corbin vs Bobby Lashley

Lashley won by pin fall

The Riott Squad vs Sasha Banks, Bayley and Ember Moon

The Riott Squad won by pin fall.

Triple H

Triple H came out to talk about his match with Undertaker. He said he wasn't going to do it because he thought it would ruin the moment of his last match with Undertaker because it was supposed to be the end of an era. The crowd was chanting "you still got it." Triple H told them however that he would do one last time, after the previous one last time.

Dean Ambrose w/ Seth Rollins vs Dolph Ziggler w/ Drew McIntyre

Ambrose won by pin fall.

Elias vs Curt Hawkins

Elias won by pin fall

Titus Worldwide vs Authors of Pain

Ronda Segment

Stephanie came out to a ring surrounded by women and talked up the women's division. She said good things about Ronda Rousey and called Ronda her protege. Ronda came out and didn't shake Steph's hand. Steph said she heard the Ronda chants as "Steph, Steph!" Ronda told Steph that this wasn't about her, it was about all the women. She said she was not Brock Lesnar and she would be a fighting champion, she would fight every night. Steph then started insulting Ronda. Ronda put Steph in an armbar and none of the heel women came to help. They all shied away from Ronda and then only helped Steph when she rolled out of the ring. The face women came in and celebrated with Ronda.

Scott Dawson vs Bo Dallas

Scott won by pin fall.

Dash Wilder vs Curtis Axel

Wilder beat Axel by pin fall

Universal Championship: Champion Roman Reigns vs Finn Balor

I could understand being pissed about it. They did it back to back. Vince is too old for this.

And there was much internet talk about the troll last night so to troll again is nothing but a middle finger to the people who spend the money to keep this company going. Blech.

Have you ever thought about that WWE is trolling the trolls who are trolling the WWE who are trolling just to get troll so that they can troll back to the trolls who love to troll WWE?

If we could, how much do you (and everyone else) have to catch up on?

I'll be caught up by Wednesday. It's easy to make Jerry binge watch with me. All I have to do is tell him that he'll some afterward.

I don't care about that. In doing that, they trolled me too. And that's why I am upset because I have watched them for over 30 years and I don't think I want to be trolled by a company that I have been loyal to all that time.

Oh, I agree, I was just messing with you because I figured someone would say it before I did.

I saw the main event pretty much. And seeing the end of summerslam last night then this tonight is actually not too bad. I mean,sure it's a troll... but it keeps delivering storyline and shocking moments. The payoff may be underwhelming for most, but this has been some of the only wrestling I've seen in a while and its keeping me interested.
Like last night it was like oh shit here comes braun. Nope nvm. Then again tonight but then after they announce the cash in, boom shield. And they have a nice little segment with some good action, only to realise they didn't ring the bell so the cash in still hasn't happened. A double troll doesn't necessarily mean bad. It was unexpected and clever. Annoying sure, but clever and I have to give them that.
That main event match was pretty great too. They made reigns look big. And like a threat. I have noticed the guy has real natural in ring talent, and has that natural badass look they really need to let him roll with it for a bit.

Really the only other thing I saw so far was that Ronda rousey bit where she attacked steph. I was hoping they topped it off with all of the women attacking Ronda. That would have been interesting.

I may even have to try to catch some again next week lol.
