AJ beat that ass so hard it split Rey in half.

Damn that finish was weak af, idk how much of that was affected by the botch though

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Nah cause i don't expect Rey to lose this soon, Orton probably gonna distract AJ or something

Alright.

Pretty good show.

I actually liked the Rusev and Lana segment, mainly for Rusev who has been making the best of this imo. It was so ridiculous but it was entertaining and hilarious

Rollins aligning with the AoP is cool. I’ve always liked Rollins even if I felt like his face character was getting kind of lame, so a heel turn is fresh and he’s much better suited as a heel imo. Plus, it gives AoP something to do now and hopefully let’s them shine more. I’m enjoying KO’s role in all of this too, the inevitable match between Rollins and KO should be good.

Drew Mac ripping Hardy a new one was fun, and El Idolo and Humberto was fun too.

That Street Profits segment was amazing too, forgot to mention that.

So I'm one of those that listens to Bryan Alvarez quite a bit and I normally agree with him with many things. But Seth Rollins promo last night was really good. I really enjoyed it and it was nice that he added a lot of real life issues he really has into it. Shit like that is what made CM Punk's pipe bomb so incredibly good and any promo before / after.

Seth Rollins showed the first bit of actual character in a very long time and it's because it came from a place of realism. Even if he isn't nearly as frustrated about the situation as he seemed to be in the promo he turned it up to an 11 for entertainment sake and that's why he's always been a good heel imo.
