    The botch (? looked like it was anyway) at the end of the tagmatch doesnt seem to be getting much attention online. If it wasnt planned, it was some good reactions by Primo to take Epico's position so quickly to allow the finish continue. Given that JBL was the only one to mention it on commentary im assuming it wasnt supposed to happen that way, although it could be used as a Dusty finish to take the titles off New Day and give Xavier a chance to excel and preach the injustice of their win being taken away.

    How does Lesnar not get punished for blading? He did it against Cena, Reigns, HHH and Taker?

    You have seen Brock in action?:D

    Wouldn't blame anyone for not daring to **** with Brock's money. :D

    That's what graduates are for. Go tell Brock he's fined. Ah excuse me mister lesnar we're fining you for blading.

    Ah Vince we're gonna need a new graduate.

    Are Lesnar and Taker the hardest hitters in the WWE?

    Just want to clarify something from last night.

    I went on about how tired I was with Rollins' reign, and part of me wanted Cena to win because I think he's one of the best things in the company at the moment (never thought I'd say that). It's no coincidence that the best matches this year have involved him and I think he was right when he mentioned that the title doesn't make the man but the man makes the title. Seth's reign has just been so disappointing. I can't take him seriously as a champion because he looks weak on RAW but he needs a screwy finish to win all the time. It makes him look like a mug.

    However, if he had beaten Cena clean last night, it would have been great for him, but we don't get it. He needs some form of interference all the time.

    I know there would have been the usual shtick about Cena not putting younger guys over, but he hardly put Seth over last night, did he? If Seth had won clean, he'd have no argument, but now we're likely to get the rematch and I just can't see how Seth goes over clean.

    I love Rollins. He's a great arsehole heel but he's yet to back it up on the big stage for me.

    I can see why people loved the finish last night because of how unexpected it was, but I just can't take to it because we see it happen in every Rollins PPV.

    Just on the argument over who should turn, I think it should be Reigns as well. He's a true babyface but I think a heel run before the eventual face turn would be massive if done right. Since Mania, Reigns has been excellent. Unfortunately, like we saw last night, the smarks still don't like him for the reason that smarks will be smarks.

    Anyone that thinks John Cena didn't put Seth Rollins over last night, I don't know what it's going to take from Cena to make them happy. He bumped like a champion for Seth's offence I thought, and he didn't go overboard with the usual Superman stuff that people seem to have an issue with so frequently. There were some really good near falls and Seth Rollins looked totally dominant at several points during the match. Ultimately, John Cena lost the match as well. After the match that they had, Jon Stewart hitting him with a chair didn't really matter to me. Seth Rollins IS a heel, and a really good chicken**** heel at that. Off the top of my head, I can't think of many heel champions who didn't cheat to win in most of their matches. Brock Lesnar? Triple H? Back in the 1980s, Ted DiBiase frequently relied on Virgil to help him win matches, big deal, that was who his character was. Seth Rollins will have his day where he is a white-hot babyface. John Cena made him look like a star last night, AND put him over strong, I feel.

    I'm going with 7. Overall, it was a pretty decent show, but a few of the endings marred that. Didn't like Seth needing interference again, Brock vs. Taker's end was naff, Dolph's kinda half assed flop before getting into the ring to get the double count out was just daft.

    4 team tag match was good, though I'm kinda disappointed how short PTP's reign was. IC match was about what I expected, though it was priceless seeing Show try to do the senton off the second rope. Kinda reminded me of using Show to steal high-flyers finishers in the Smackdown vs. Raw games :pac: As far as celebrity matches go, the one with Amell was quite good. I was a bit relieved they at least gave the pin to Neville though.

    Any idea who Cena was talking to when he got to the ring for his match and said "I'm so happy you could make it" or something along those lines?

    I thought it was, but then they pointed him out on Raw and didn't mention him when John acknowledged him on Summerslam

    He was front row for both events. So I say it's a safe bet it was him.
