Crychon Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Mark Henry? /Disapoointed. I'm more disappointed that Ryback ended up winning. That guy is the worst. Also, I'm excited that Owens won, and that match was amazing, but man, this card has gone downhill hard since that match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukess11 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Ryback deserves it. He has been proving he can improve since his debut. It is about time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukess11 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Surprised they already announced a match and 6 competitors in one night where they could have dragged it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKOwnage Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Surprised they already announced a match and 6 competitors in one night where they could have dragged it out. They said it's not everyone which means Dean is (probably) losing and getting in. What's more baffling is Kofi being in the match...and Ziggler/Sheamus after they both just got pinned in a midcard title match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukess11 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 With Owens/Cena II, Cena will probably win which will lead to a third match at SummerSlam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine the kayfabe reason Kofi is in as a favour from Kane for helping on SmackDown, which is the reason all three were in the EC match also. Non-kayfabe reason is... Kofi is always fun in MITB matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwt13 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 That was the greatest booked end to a title match in a long time. It got me so heated. Damn I thought Dean had pulled one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKOwnage Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I love that ending. Dean looks so strong, Rollins slithers away like the POS he is, and Reigns evens the odds vs. the Authority. Why not? We got that awesome moment with Ambrose, but it's obvious he isn't in the immediate title plan. Reigns was never going to turn. The only thing is that Seth hasn't looked so strong as champion, but Ambrose will be in MITB and probably win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I really enjoyed the whole show, but the match that kinda brought my mood down was Bo and Neville. It's not a knock on the quality or anything, but I've seen better matches between the two in NXT. So it was just lackluster compared to what they've done before. The Dusty finish at the end was well executed even if it was obvious the second Seth grabbed the ref. Very fun card though that didn't feel like it dragged on.

smurphy1014 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Non-kayfabe reason is... Kofi is always fun in MITB matches. Between Kofi and Neville we are in for some insane stuff at MITB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellboy2 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 <p>loved the first three matches, can't believe Kevin Owens won clean, the shock made me fall asleep though missed Bo and Neville, woke up to Mark Henry being pinned</p><p> </p><p> Fell asleep again and woke to Ambrose celebrating, actually woke up and thought amazing then got reversed, but i think Rollins as Champion is briliant, i love weasel champion </p><p> </p><p> i also enjoyed the Diva match</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayelek Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I also dozed off, right around the end of the the IC Title Chamber match. I woke up to see Ryback win, just vaguely, and was out before the next match started. Then I was in and out during the Rollins/Ambrose match, suddenly I see Ambrose leaving with the title and I'm just dumbfounded, going, "What? What? What?" in my head, but in what would've probably been an amazing reaction video out loud. I like Owens going over Cena, at least the way he did it. Owens looked awesome, but Cena also didn't look bad in putting Owens over. Now I'm wondering if he has to give up the NXT Title like Paige gave up the Women's title when she got the call up? Or if there'll be a storyline about that? Also, was it just me, or were Kofi's shoulders also down for 3 during the tag team chamber while Cesaro was being pinned? I've watched it twice and it definitely looks like it. When I saw it live, I was pumped for the PTP tag title run, then disappointed it wasn't acknowledged.

Shouldn't be too hard with the taping schedule but they have to be careful Owens doesn't get injured again.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milamber Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Raw Review: Opening segment - I really hope it is Ambrose vs Rollins with no interference at MITB. Time for Rollins to win or lose on his own. Reigns vs Barrett - Solid match. Result was never in doubt, though, with Barrett being a glorified jobber. Ryback/Miz/Show - I'm glad somone stepped in. It was lazy booking giving Miz a title shot for no reason. That was Show's worst KO punch ever. Owens & Cena - Both guys delivered in this segment. Super Cena mention was pure gold and Cena's "Never give up" reversal on Owens was great. New Day vs Ziggler & PTP - Good matches. Titus kicked ass. New Day as MITB champs would be fun. "So-nic-shakes... so-nic-shakes... so-nic-shakes..." Reigns vs Henry - Weakest of his 3 matches. Paige vs Nikki (Divas Championship) - This is the match we should have had at the PPV, aside from the ending. Nikki is not a natural babyface but she's good enough in the ring she shouldn't need to use heel tactics. Why did they bother turning the Bellas in the first place? Orton vs Sheamus - Good match. Looks like Sheamus might get a big push. Bo vs Neville - Solid match. Bo should have won to keep the feud going. Reigns vs Bray - Good match but shame Bray had to lose. Ambrose bit was predictable but fun. Verdict: Solid show. Some of the booking was stupid but it kept me entertained. http://i.imgur.com/E79DqoT.gifhttp://33.media.tumblr.com/5dd6b1cbadc15aaeb22a9886fa487579/tumblr_npan52N6dO1rnjfjfo1_r1_400.gifhttp://38.media.tumblr.com/f155d0fe9199265f77502117eb3043ca/tumblr_npaow0Fwp31rnjfjfo1_r1_400.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
