I was thinking of the power bombs and the flying cross body that he blocked from Dean. I didn't like how he ate the bomb off the turnbuckle in the end but overall, I was fine with it.
The match just paled into comparison from the Zayn-Owens match but I actually liked Roman second to Rollins out of that match from a pure "this guy looks interesting, Im kinda curious what happens next"

I agree with you here... I liked his move-set a lot more, did a lot of powerbombs and sidewalk slams, where as his moveset in the previous PPVs I've seen were mostly just strikes and brawling
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW LOL
I'll take a wait and see on the idea of Vince cooling off on Roman. Losing to Rollins and Ambrose isn't proof of anything in the regard. When he's eating losses to KO and Jericho, we can talk about that.
I wouldn't go so far as to call the brother fat, I mean he got a weight problem. What's he gonna do? He's Samoan.

At next Smackdown Rock will show up and reveal that Roman was never his relative and Ambrose is actually his far away cousin

He does not have define abs I guess.

I don't think he's fat, I just think he's a tougher sell as this super strong guy when he's probably smaller than Rollins.
Samoans don't get abs unless they're juiced to the gills.

Would have to be 2012. He had a name/gimmick change just before he got called up as part of The Shield.

Well, bayley herself says its only a one night thing and then she returns to nxt. So it might be WWE saying "you want bayley so bad? so you have it, now stop fucking about it!!", or they are testing how over bayley really is in the main audience.
lol at sasha using the b-word in 0:38.

Probably 2012, but he hasn't gotten much bigger and Rollins has.
EDIT:
More recent ones. Guy's not fat, he just doesn't look like a powerhouse. Plus they're probably clinging to the Shield thing since he's dry enough as is, nevermind if he had to create a whole new persona.

Nah
Aside from anticipating another classic match out of Sami and KO, I had no expectations for this PPV and I leave it now thoroughly entertained.
I gotta say as someone who jumped back on WWE this year, even with the clusterfuck that was Mania, I've been loving the weekly product and almost every PPV since.

The "Roman is Fat" thing has always seemed like BS. The guy is not ripped to shreds but he's in great shape. The vest is probably just an image thing. Meanwhile you say one thing about how KO looks and some people throw a fit.

I see his arm covering up and a promo photo that's likely been photoshopped.
It doesn't really matter to me though. I'm more concerned about his pants. They're awful.

Same here. It's not perfect, but it's far from the drek that got me to stop watching 2 years ago.

The hell are you people doing in here calling Roman fat?
Stop it.
Now.
Yes, including the community thread as well.

Think it's more them trying to keep some suspense in her match versus Asuka.
She'll be back after SummerSlam.

WWE history has shown that General Managers can introduce a new World Title if their brand doesn't currently have one. Eric Bischoff did it in 2002 (which is what re-introduced Big Gold to the WWE after they replaced the individual WCW and WWF belts with a new belt to represent the Undisputed World Championship earlier in the year), and Teddy Long almost did it in 2005 when the WWE Champ was traded to Raw, with it only being stopped because Teddy managed to sign the WHC to SmackDown before the end of the tournament to determine the "SmackDown World Champion."

She's a Bayley superfan, frequently at the NXT shows and tapings and pretty regularly featured on TV.
Izzy attends like every NXT show at Full Sail and is the biggest Bayley stan in the world. Her parents once had to carry her out of a show after she broke into a crying fit because Bayley lost a match.

Izzy is more over than 90% of the Smackdown roster.

I didn't realize it at the time, but it was a direct shot at Jericho. People don't remember the Jericho/Dango feud tho so it just seemed like it was a cheap shot.
Fandango will get his revenge.
I remembered that dumb return feud but there were other ways to shit on Jericho without shitting on someone else. I've just never been a fan of that kind of promo. 'Yeah but at least I didn't face THAT loser!'

Wait, what in the hell did I just missed tonight?
In a way, nothing major.
To be fair, none of Orton's violations were for enhancement.
