Questlove Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 He got triple teamed, announced his cash in ahead of time then got some friends to even the odds yet this somehow makes him the heel even though he's the one the fans are gonna cheer for in that match. ????????????

Rone Rivendale Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 It's not a heel turn. Braun does what Braun wants. He has destroyed faces and heels alike for a good while. Wasn't long ago he beat up Finn Balor, and then not long after tag teamed with him. That's just his character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greylocke Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Braun told Roman last week if he was going to cash in he would be a man and do it face to face, not be a coward. He then tried to cash in on Roman after he'd just had a long title match against Balor. I think by "face to face" he simply meant that he'll give advance warning and let everyone know he'll be cashing in after the match. That was what happened at Summerslam. Whomever he was going to cash it in would probably have already had a gruelling match too. He told Finn face-to-face on RAW. He didn't do it with Reigns, but that can be explained as him having already given advanced warning to Reigns at Summerslam. I mean, Dean Ambrose remained as a face after he cashed in on Rollins even though he actually jumped the guy from behind (whereas Braun actually let Reigns see him coming) because he made it clear the week before that he intended to cash in the very same night he wins the briefcase. If Ambrose was still a face after that, I don't see Braun as having done anything that makes him a heel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThriceP86 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 <p>I was flipping back and forth between RAW and The X-Files last night (BBC America doing a 5 day marathon of that show!)</p><p> </p><p> RAW wasn't spectacular at all. No stand out matches and the only good segments were the Triple H promo and Mick Foley and Elias battling each other on the mic. Foley being the special guest ref for the HIAC match will make it intriguing. I seriously hope they keep big bumps to Roman and Strowman though. We don't need to see a 53 year old legend put his body on the line for the umpteenth time.</p><p> </p><p> Also, they're doing Elias a disservice not giving him marquee matches on pay-per-view. I get that he can still get over in these segments they put him in but he has shown he can go in the ring too. I can't believe how much a fan of him I am now compared to what I thought of him over a year ago.</p><p> </p><p> I hope Smackdown does a much better job tonight for their go home show.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 <p><strong>Deonna vs Kelly</strong> - Solid match. Deonna will be a fan favorite in NXT and could be used as a babyface or heel. PK is a hot prospect who just needs more experience to take her ability to the next level.</p><p> <strong>Zeuxis vs Monroe</strong> - Solid match. Zeuxis made sense to win and put over Io in the next round. Monroe has the It Factor.</p><p> <strong>Kacy vs Reina</strong> - Good match. Kacy is awesome. Reina has improved since last year and impressed me more than Kraven in the monster heel role.</p><p> <strong>Martinez vs Rayne</strong> - Good match. Shame Rayne is out already. Satomura vs Mercedes is a huge 2nd Round matchup.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 <p>Loved AJ’s empty arena promo. Not sure why Jeff had to get th upper hand on Orton on free tv though. Shouldn’t they save that for the PPV? Just makes me think Orton is winning at Hell in a Cell.</p><p> </p><p> Sick of Charlotte’s fakeness. She’s almost on par with Stephanie in the unlikable department. Steph is a better actress though.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Hell in a Cell was far from perfect but it was easily one of the best PPVs of the year (not including NXT Takeovers). Hardy/Orton was sick, The Shield vs Ziggler/Drew was a great tag match and Becky winning was the icing on the cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CQI13 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 <p>The finishing spot for Hardy/Orton was meh - but serves the purpose of giving Hardy time off. I enjoyed everything on the PPV save for AJ tapping but still winning. It keeps him on the Saudi Arabia PPV for presumably the title change there.</p><p> </p><p> The Brock appearance was a bit of a shock, but didn't care for the tag teams interfering.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaysin Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Watching Smackdown and enjoying it. Mandy Rose is going to be a big name player for the women’s division some day. As cringe worthy as it was in the beginning, Naomi and Asuka together are growing on me. Seems like they created all these random women pairings for nothing though. Why not give the women a tag title? They already have enough pairings to warrant another tag title. Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville IIconics Naomi & Asuka Nikki Cross & Dakota Kai Riott Squad It give women not involved with the singles belts something to do.
