Recap of the WWE Network update on Roman Reigns' hernia surgery. He is supposed to be out of action for several months.

__________________________________

Seth Rollins comes out to the ring.

He cuts a promo about how life can change in a mere blink of an eye. He talks about Roman Reigns' hernia and uses it to generate some good heel heat by not accepting it as an excuse to skip out on his match.

However, Rollins decides to give Reigns ten seconds to come out to the ring and face Rollins. He instructs Charles Robinson to ring the bell and start the ten count. At this moment, a huge "We want Ambrose" chant starts.

Charles Robinson counts to ten, and Rollins wins by way of forfeit.

Rollins continues his promo. He issues an open challenge to anyone in the locker room.

Who answers the challenge? A VERY PISSED OFF DEAN AMBROSE ANSWERS!!!

Ambrose enters and beats the hell out of Rollins. The two brawl into the Nashville crowd.

As they brawl, The Authority brings security and attempts to keep the two apart. This doesn't stop Ambrose, as he lands a cross body on a bunch of guards and continues his assault on Rollins.

As Ambrose attempts to main Rollins with a chair, security is able to catch up with and apprehend Ambrose.

CSF

Typical of WWE lately. Good wrestling/bad story development.

Moneymaker

Yup, can't add much more then that.

Making Lesnar look so weak was truly mind boggling. He's been really damaged now, maybe more so than the Extreme Rules defeat.

the groutch

You could even give Ryder a title shot now and you'd think he had a chance of winning.

Deadlie

The US title match was a lot of fun, with both men looking incredibly strong in it. The commentators were full of praise for the two involved, which really made it feel huge. Highlight of the night for me. The IC match on the other hand was a disgrace. It was a glorified ad for two douchey bumpkins. The first half of the match was a rundown of their discography and new releases. Shambles.

savemejebus

Didn't see the show but according to the recaps, Lesnar threw cena around the place, stopped most of his offence and kicked out of 3 finishers at or before 2.

How is that making him look weak?

Because Cena tossed him around at will towards the finish and he had the match won if only for outside interference.

This is the same man Lesnar decimated one month ago, and now he barely escapes with the title.

They tried to spin it in such a way that Lesnar was a badass for withstanding the assault. It didn't work. He looked bad imo. And Rollins looked like a complete idiot too. He came out and attacked Cena, ran to the outside and attacked him some more, then went back in and almost like a lightbulb over his head, HEY I HAVE THIS CASE I CAN USE, RING THE BELL!

Just a horrible mess of inconsistent booking, all done to make Super Cena look good and **** everyone else.

Deadlie

Dunno about that. Lesnar had Cena beat and could've pinned him at any stage in the first half of the match. He was out to make a point and make him tap. Brock looked and acted like an animal throughout.

Cena rallied towards the end, but was going for the pin instantly each time. His AA's were getting no more than 2 counts and his STF had to be applied three times just to keep Brock in place. He wasn't there to 'Beat Lesnar's ass', he was there to scrape a victory and I felt it made Cena look more vulnerable than he has in ages.

You know what happens when you get more than a 2 count, right?

savemejebus

Ok so just watched the match and what I saw was:

- Lesnar starts off pounding cena to paste in the corner
- Suplex blocked and Cena gets a lucky shot and hits the AA
- AA doesn't even get a 2 count
- Next there is more Brock tossing Cena around like a toy, hitting german suplexes, the 3 amigos, multiple kimuras
- Occasionally Cena gets a couple of lucky shots rocking Lesnar but each time Lesnar slaps him down and kills his momentum
- During all this time the commentators talk about how Lesnar is killing Cena but Cena got in a lucky shot to the jaw that they keep coming back to (you see Lesnar removing gum shield a few times)
- Cena elbows lesnar in the nose and gets slapped down again, more suplexes and corner thrashings from Lesnar
- Cena gets a surprise AA and barely, not sure if he even got a 2 count (shoulder was coming up before ref hit 2)
- Cena puts stf on Lesnar and has it reversed quickly and ends up with Lesnar putting Kimura on Cena
- Cena powers out (which looked impressive btw)
- 3rd AA from Cena and then STF (centre of ring this time)
- 4th AA from Cena straight out of that STF and rollins hits the ring
- Camera moves to show Lesnars shoulder coming up off the mat right as the ref should have counted 2 so even 4th AA wouldn't have gotten him
- Lesnar hit with a curb stomp
- A few seconds later Lesnar is up standing and hits Cena with an F5 standing over him to finish the show

I still don't think Lesnar was made to look weak. He sold well but was never made look weak. I thought they protected him pretty well, any offence he sold was from Cena getting lucky rather than Cena outwrestling or overpowering him and he still mauled Cena.

Deadlie

seandotcomm wrote: »

Exactly. And 4 AAs didn't get anywhere near a three. The first one didn't even get a 1 count. The rest were no sold completely too. The only time I thought Lesnar looked remotely weak was when Cena lifted him up during the submission hold and he looked around in amazement.

Brock was on top all night, he was toying with Cena. It was a well told story right up until the end, but I don't think Brock was made look a tenth as weak as Cena was.

Lord TSC

I'm usually quick enough to complain about Cena but I have no problem with that match last night.

Things to remember; Cena is on God mode tier and makes everyone look weak. At Summerslam, Cena got caught by an F5 early and never recovered; that was the basis of his ass kicking. Honestly, I expected a more Cena-dominated match so was happy to see Brock still kicking his ass, eating finishers and brushing them off.

I was more than happy with Rollins running in too, since it puts him on their level and keeps everyone strong imo. If they go Brock/Cena/Rollins/Ambrose inside the cell, I'll be ****ing thrilled. Probably just be Cena/Brock inside the cell but even that is smart booking; the cell stops interference.

Overall, really enjoyed the show; Sheamus/Cesaro, Jericho/Orton, Divas title, Tag Match and Cena/Brock were all very good. Can't comment on Miz/Dolph cause I skipped most of it.

But yeah. 8/10 for me. really enjoyed it for what it was.

A Rogue Hobo

A solid 5 for me. Don't get me wrong there was nothing that stank the joint out and most matches were grand besides maybe the end of the main event being a bit of a farce and had a very predictable but slightly enjoyable segment with Rollins and Ambrose. It'd have made for a decent episode of Raw. Which in my opinion is a huge problem. These are meant to be the biggest most explosive 3 hours of programming each month out of roughly 32 hours of programming every month. I shouldn't even be thinking of Raw or Smackdown when watching these shows.

Moneymaker

In fairness most of the matches were a step above your typical TV match.

To clarify, the actual match was grand, it was the ending that bothered me so much about Lesnar/Cena. The match was really enjoyable, some awesome stiff shots.

I'd agree with that for Sheamus/Cesaro alone. Orton/Jericho, Rusev/Henry, Divas and Ziggler and Miz all fairly run of the mill and predictable. The Tag match was great for the last two minutes or so but the rest seemed just sort of plodded along.

rovert

Really enjoyed the show.

Pretty good opener. Really fun Japanese Wrestling style match with Sheamus and Cesaro. The Divas match over delivered. Orton-Jericho was my taste but it was a pretty decent WWE style match. Cena-Brock was an exciting back and forward match. My only issue with the finish was prostituting Seth's Curb Stomp they could have just brained Brock with briefcase. 7/10 for me.

Don't know how I feel about Sheamus transitioning from his goatee though:

PG sucks, booo! etc.

SlickRic

there was never a visual pin or submission on Brock.

the only people who think he now looks weak to are the ones who thought he should just completely destroy Cena again.

that would be silly IMO. if Brock completely annihilates Cena, and everybody else, without having any real offense against him, if and when Reigns beats him at WM 31, it will hurt Reigns. nobody would believe that Reigns is the ONLY one in the company capable of giving Brock a match.

also, they were never going to utterly decimate Cena twice with barely any comeback. just be thankful they didn't put the title back on him in a panic to try to convince kids to buy the Network.

I didn't say it wasn't flawed...I just said he didn't look weak!

CastorTroy

I thought it was grand overall.

I think my problem with the ending is just it seems like they sent Rollins out there for no real reason. I mean who does he feud with now? Ambrose who he's already feuding with? Cena who he prevented winning the title and hit with the case? Or Lesnar who he curb stomped? All 3 should be after Rollins now.

Otherwise the other matches were good to watch.

I think Sheamus is growing the beard due to all the Daniel Bryan tshirts still available, so they need someone that has a beard. Sandow not allowed.

Scariest sign of the night: "Make Raw 4 Hours"

Finding it strange that Nikki seems to now be the powerhouse diva.

They are framing Seth as an eejit:

savemejebus

Seth is an easy fix, they can just say the authority sent him out to make sure cena didn't win and then he went into business for himself as an afterthought. Look at heyman as Sethbattacks Brock, he is reacting perfectly for that story.

Liam O

Like I said in the live thread I think the finish was good to progress the storyline and Cena's character arc. I would have had Brock kick out before Rollins came down and then deliver more of a post match beatdown but without Reigns they can't afford even a kayfabe injury to Cena for a week or 2 like I'd like to see. Both guys will probably no sell the match tonight and be at 100% which is not something you want to see when it was bigged up as Cena having to find a "dark place" but overall the match has progressed the storyline and added Rollins as a potential screwee and elevated him slightly imo.

krudler

It was stupid, building the match around Cena having to become "a beast" what a few AA's and two piss poor looking submission movies? Lesnar didn't look beaten when Rollins came out.
So you have Rollins looking stupid and pussying out on cashing in because Cena got in the way, Cena looking like he didn't really beat Brock, and Brock looking like a bad submission move and one move from Rollins might have finished him off. Who exactly was meant to come out of this looking good? It all came across as thrown together because of Reigns being out. And it was looking like an interesting arc for Cena too.

Blue_Dabadee

It was ok show, so I will give it 6 out of 10.

JP Liz V1

Paige asking AJ was she ready was very noticeable

Sirsok

One of the better PPVs they have produced, enjoyed most of the matches and I feel they got all the decisions right tonight, Rusev winning being one of them. maybe wouldn't of having Paige lose but can't begrudge AJ the title.

A lot of very solid matches, Miz v Ziggler the only one that let it down, Miz is such a redundant bland character, he truly sucks and generates xpac heat. Ziggler is better then that.

Missed the Wyatt presence, they should of making themselves known during a match, even the Miz match, have Sandow join the family.

But overall it was a 9/10 for me considering I have been let down by events I've looked forward to before and I wasn't expecting anything from this event.

I like the whole Rollins thing also, such an arrogant heel should be pissing everyone off. Just cause he is fielding with Ambrose doesn't mean others can't feel the brunt of his behaviour! Walt didn't just fued with Gus in breaking bad!

TOPDAWG2.0

For someone not keepin regular tabs on WWE events i thought it was a solid PPV.
IC and US Title matches were solid. US Title made to look really strong by commentators.
Jericho Orton was the match to be expected from two seasoned veterans on a run of the milll ppv.
Orton imo can be up there with HHH for a heel when it comes to level of heel-ness and us joe public thinking " **** that guys cool,i want to be that guy", who else gets to hit their finisher on a main eventer on a PPV AAAAAND get to strike their pose BEFORE the pin count!!!!


ROLLINS and AMBROSE........... this is just money. PURE ABSOLUTE MONEY. This is a feud that if handled properly can be as big as Austin and Rock,
My left-field brain is telling me... Reigns to return and take title from Lesnar at Rumble, Ambrose to win the Rumble and Rollins to cash in MITB before Mania for an ALL SHIELD MANIA Main Event.

Cena Lesnar......M'ehhh. Someone has to beat Lesnar eventually.

Disappointed at a lack of Wyatts tho.....

I dont think so, it's similar to when rock and Austin were feuding for the intercontinental title and their feud was much more interesting than the main eventers feuds.

Rollins and ambrose have a similar vibe of an early day rock/Austin, rock/HHH or a HHH/foley feud before any of them became main eventers!

grames_bond

Divas match: "oh sh!t this is scarey...are you ready?....ok 1,2, THREE"

I properly broke my sh!t laughing at that!

Decent show overall, Ambrose is just a f*cking boss! and i Loved the US Title match, Sheamus hulking up was great!
