Guys, if someone in the thread isn't speaking about the topic at hand or contributing to the discussion it may be easier to let said person speak without any kind of response. Less back and forth and it'll eventually fade away. Much like the crimson mask that Roman Reigns sported last night en route to a tremendous win. I still can't believe that finish. I'll be tuned in tonight, tomorrow, next week and every other week barring scheduling conflicts (maybe some DVR nights during NBA playoffs) because that's what I do, but that finish felt like the ultimate slap in the face after all of the Roman booking over the last few years. Can't quite put my finger on just why it feels different right now, but I'm not even hot over it. Just deflated and not even interested in the next churn right now.

Get the fuck out. What?

You assume people care about Brock right now in a manor that isn't "at least it isn't Reigns" You may be right, but after this many hours, and year after year of shows this long with similar reactions over the course of the night, I think its a fair question.

I can't believe the crowd didn't pop for Brock kicking out of the spear. At some point they have to rethink a 7 hour show. If crowd reactions are of any concern.

Alright, Summerslam 2014 was fun but that's not what I'm looking for tonight.

They are not wasting time here. Loving this thus far.

I live in NY, and this weekend probably sealed it that I will go out of my way to attend a disgusting number of shows at this time next year and enjoy my couch for Mania.

Is Nicholas one of those fans who was going to walk out if AJ/Nak didn't close the show? Because it doesn't look like he's game for the main event.

A few thoughts here: 1) I'm legit laughing right now because us nerds speculated on potential partners for weeks while they literally planned on trolling us the entire time. 2) That kid looks like he's going to piss himself. 3) What is the point of this? Is The Rock coming out? What in the world is going on?

At 11:30 at night this is insulting.

That angle was pretty brilliant given the timing on the show and what it sets up following Mania. Who wants to road trip it to Jeddah with me? We got this one.

How about that? A clean world title match at Mania to trigger an angle and fresh feud.

Love how they used Asuka's performance after losing to Charlotte to set this one up. Pretty slick.

YES! This I can get behind.

Just like I told you, there was no chance AJ was losing.

This. Its very solid and they're doing things that would normally pop a crowd, but when these guys working submissions wake them up the most it suggests its the environment rather than the match. Not to say they're having any kind of classic, but its been a very good match.

No Flo Rida or similar shenanigans on the schedule tonight, right? Just Raw tag titles and Brock/Roman?

There is no chance they're giving Nak that kind of entrance and having walk back empty handed. Wrong result, but its a lock.

Nia/Alexa was a ton better than I expected, and they even overcame not working a quick squash. Alexa is one of the best acts in the company and has such poise and charisma. She also took a sick beating and some major bumps tonight. Big kudos to both of them for putting together such a strong, compact match.

I'll hopefully remember to post more about it tomorrow, but Riddle vs. Ospreay from the WWN Supershow is the Riddle we all want.

This must be so awesome for Alexa & Nia.

Unreal. https://twitter.com/tokyodynamite/status/983164159859687425

What a night for AJ Styles. He's getting prime positioning on the biggest show in the world this year.

As bad as Cena/Taker and the start of this match were, major credit to them for finishing it the right way. Especially when I had zero expectation of it. Bryan looked amazing in there and its shocking to see them feature him *this* strongly, even if it makes all the sense in the world.

I know I shouldn't be surprised, but was it really too easy and simple to let Bryan work the apron the entire time rather than play dead?
