So Lacey pretty much has to win the title at Extreme Rules, right? Can't go 0-3 here

Anyone getting Buff Bagwell/DDP/Kimberly from early 2000 vibes from this main event stuff?

I actually agree with that. This would be a perfectly fine upper midcard program but not on top for a world title

Knew it

Have a feeling the special ref is going to be female. They've made a point of Seth attacking all potential refs. Can't do that if it's a female. So Steph, Lacey or Becky (Where she's fired if she doesn't call it down the middle)?

Lars may be out the rest of the year with his knee injury

Ronda and the rest of the Horsewomen are backstage at SD

Oh man now they are making people asking for more money on their contracts as part of storylines.

I remember a month ago or so a few around here were saying Shane beats Kofi for the title and then Roman destroys Shane on the first Fox SD I actually think there's a good chance that happens. Only question is if they have Brock then immediately cash in on Roman

Kinda interesting "backstage battle" point made by the Observer Raw recap guy. HHH and Steph have largely been off tv since the nba playoffs started. Knowing ratings would be down. Shane has been all over TV during that time.....

looking at that Stomping Grounds card I think Loss was right a few weeks ago in saying they are going into a holding pattern until the Fox deal starts. I mean that card looks as dull and uninspired as can be. I mean if they really are trying... pretty damn scary

With Roman it's another example of them trying to book every babyface like 2013/2014 Daniel Bryan.

Puppet Satan Vince dancing!!!

Puppet .Satan Vince!!!

So a three way with Seth/Corbin/Brock or two separate matches?

Steph seems way more interested in her public speaking engagements and off air corporate role than she does her on air character right now. Get the feeling it's Vince forcing her to be on TV. Even when she was doing the stuff with Becky in the build up to mania she didn't seem that in to it at all.

Mox said Roman hated the "sufferin succotash" promo that we all hated as well. everyone loves Roman backstage, he's a leader. felt he was connected to the audience better than Roman at times but didn't resent Roman being pushed over him Roman doesn't get a chance to show his real personality on screen like what we've all basically been saying basically says Vince is out of touch now and HHH should at least get a shot at running things

So they seem to implying that .Brock is going to cash in on .Seth Monday. Teasing that Brock will wrestle on the show. pretty sure it will be a bait and switch to set up something at the Saudi show

Looks like Mox is going to be doing an interview with Wade Keller next.

Well I was talking in terms of how terrible creative is in general, not necessarily Mox. Apparently Dave and Bryan were taking some victory laps after this interview

They are teasing a segment for Raw where Stephanie is going to punish Lesnar and Heyman for messing around on the cash in. Great more McMahons

Also remember when some people were saying/predicting Mox came up with the vaccine/germ/Bane gimmick himself? Ummm... yeah

Can we count this interview as a win for Meltzer? Mox basically parroted all the news Dave has been reporting about creative the last several years. kind of a bad day for Meltz haters who think he was out of the loop about what's going on backstage

Kevin Dunn mentioned! And he's booed!

Sami mentioning AEW was cut from the Youtube clip of the segment
