Holy shit that bump Rollins took on the ambulance. That looked scary

Foley on Raw next week. First time on the show since March 2017

So yeah Owens isn't turning babyface I think

Lita v Mickie officially announced

I actually think Shawn was real good once Taker came out

Really like the .Drake and aop pairing. They seem to be finding more stuff for people to do on Raw now. Gable in a tag team, giving Aop Drake, Alicia joining Alexa's squad

Gable is pretty damn awesome. Hopefully this tag team gives me something to do

anyone else think we're getting Team Angle v Team Corbin at Survivor Series for control of Monday Night Raw? To be honest I'd rather see that than more Raw v SD stuff

AJ v Joe added

Wwe also just announced Ronda and Bellas v Riott Squad for the show

Hell of a past eight days turning popular faces heel, huh? At first thought I think Braun will work out better than Becky

I loved that as a shock ending but don't know long term with Braun as a heel. I mean it's interesting for damn sure but I still think the people like him and want to cheer him. But short term I'm really digging this

Holy shit they turned Braun heel. Did not see that coming. Wow second straight week with a shock ending. Good stuff

I know a lot people are down on Owens as a performer but god damn the bumps he was taking in that match. And well all the bumps he's been taking the last couple months. Yeah I could see the crowds getting behind him eventually

PWI says Brie v Maryse in a singles match is likely for show. Makes sense coming off the mixed tag

Braun just challenged Roman to a match Monday on twitter

WWE just announced AJ v Joe for HIAC probably think that ends up as one of the cell matches

Yeah I can remember that debate here in 2014 when Bryan's horrible goat themed merch wasn't selling well and it was affecting his push. I think FMKK is right here. There are other aesthetic factors that go into merch sales. Loss has also made that point in the past

I mean when I got on the net 20 years it was buys, ratings, attendance. Merch sales were discussed but not even close to those other three. Everyone knew Austin sold the most shirts but I don't remember it being reported that they "couldn't push Ken Shamrock stronger because he was only 12th in the company in merch numbers" type stories like we here today

I meant in the post ppv world. Used to be ppv buys and houses were way more important than merch sales

Remember that Cena's merch sales would go down when he lost a big match which is why he always had to get his win right back. i wonder if the same happens/happened with Roman? (Do his sales go down after losing) last time I saw a list AJ was right behind Roman. So the two champions are the guys who sell the most merch. I guess this is officially how we judge drawing power in this modern era

Ha love how bunch of us have theorized the Miz/Bryan stuff to Mania already! Miz wins contenders match, Bryan wins Rumble, Bryan beats him at mania, etc. it's right there and like the easiest story to tell. Not getting my hopes up though. Like I mentioned before it would be the ultimate apology for the 2014/2015 rumbles

With all the Roman stuff seemingly settled for the moment there is no reason Bryan shouldn't win the Rumble. If would fit the story and serve as an apology for 2014/2015. the Miz/Bryan # 1 contenders match at the Australian show of course adds intrigue here. Miz wins and then beats AJ. Then Bryan win Rumble setting up Mania. I mean I wouldn't expect that to happen but everything is lined up here

Oh man no way people are going to boo Becky here. Charlotte doesn't stand a chance of getting cheered. They are going to have to change course here eventually

So yeah I guess Bryan re-signed.
