It was alright.
Neville ending his 205 "King of the Cruiserweights" stint by literally being the King of the Cruiserweights for one segment is amazing storytelling. His entire run in this division has to be one of my most favorite angles the past 5 years.
Ambrose vs Strowman was much better than Lesnar vs Strowman. Strowman's improved a lot from when he failed the "Ambrose Test" years ago and his push stopped for a bit.

Huh. Interesting way to push the CW division.
I mean, Enzo was a great heel on NXT as far as being a jerk goes. But at the same time, I bet lots of kids are confused since Enzo got his ass kicked, and they like him.
Guess he isnt a face or heel, just an asshole

Everybody cheering Neville was the best part. It's like some Fat Albert shit lol.

Enzo speaking some truth and burying the 205 division actually looks the right way to end Shootember
And I hope that Neville gets a big push in the main roster now.

It was good overall
Man if he had hit that Red Arrow and then bounced onto his feet... That would've been killer.
Not sure how it came across on tv, but it was good live. Oddest part of the night is that Rhyno got one of the biggest reactions and it was before Raw started on a taping for Main Event.

The only wrestling move Brock remembers is the German suplex and Neville can always land on his feet.
3 weeks tops til he's sami zayn status
Yeah Neville is freaking awesome. But you start putting him next to 6'3+ guys and those muscles don't make him any taller.
And you all know Vince.
Vince apparently loves Neville. The only reason he lost the title to Tozawa is because he randomly wanted to do something special for the fans. The reason Neville got it back the next night is because Vince loves Neville. Even his loss to Enzo and his leave his is protected.
We'll see but he's very high on him which is good.

I don't think they'd do something like that without plans for Neville
Though I fully expect those plans to involve Jason Jordan

Braun had to sell Shane punches and clotheslines

Dudes don't "sell" Shane's punches because 95% of the time he's actually hitting dudes.
Give Neville what he fucking deserves.
A singles run at WWE champ.
Also I will give credit to the WWE using Enzo as the giant dickhead character that he should've always been. I can't wait to see someone like Cedric Alexander put that culture vulture goof away and become champion. That's good booking. I care about 205 now.
Neville snap german suplex >>>>>>>>>>> Brock german suplex
What else did you expect?

Loved that beatdown on Reigns. Solid match too. Curtis going "Who's the Big Dog? Are you the Big Dog? Are you the Big Dog?" to Reigns followed by Miz literally shaking like a dog and making dog noises was brilliant.
Feels like this will lead to Shield against Miztourage and Strowman, but I'm disappointed. If this match happens, it will effectively remove two titles matches from the show. Reigns and Miz have solid chemistry and this could've honestly been a great feud with just those two. Make it a Ladder match and there's an easy way to have a great match, but also have Reigns lose due to Miztourage presence. Not to mention, it would've allowed Shield/Bar in a TLC match too.
Ambrose/Strowman was alright too. Not sure what's going to happen with Strowman beyond TLC. Maybe Goldberg? Honestly difficult to call.
But good god with Bray not letting go of Balor. I kind of expected it, but damn man. Just damn.
And last but not least, Enzo took Batista's name in vain. I'm wishing either Rollins or Styles wins the Royal Rumble so I can get Rollins/Styles/Nakamura for the WWE title, but fuck both those guys if Batista could somehow return and challenge instead. Hell, make it Batista/Styles or Batista/Styles/Nakamura. Whatever the case, his involvement would basically be the one justifiable way to have a different match headline Wrestlemania. Plus let him walk out winner and give us fans that one final run. I need it.
Glad Neville seems to be gone from the division. Send him to SDL and give him the US title in a multi-man match or something. Styles needs to move on.

Umm yeah they'd you know actually get sued if they went and disrupted the show...
Were you expecting them to jump the barricade and attack Roman?

Btw the fuck WWE shit from BC is fine because it fits their character... That and you know they have their merch in the same column as the WWE shirts at Hot Topic which is just too sweet.

Shane Douglas didn't get sued when he tried. But then again it's not like Shane has anything to take...

He also didn't you know do anything.
Though coming in with a mask and dress shirt and tearing it all off on the hard cam in the distance is Carny Brilliance.

You have a weird definition of horrible

You know what.... Do a Network special where Enzo gets his ass kicked for 2 hours.
Also:
Braun Strowman and the Cruiserweights is a killer band name.
Can't wait for their hit I'm Not Finished With You Yet and their remix single I'm Not Finished With You Yet (Flying High Mix feat. Flo Rida)

Owens lifts his legs up because he's way bigger than Neville and then Neville places him on his back softly. It's dumb all around.
Theyre weak and he misses by a large margin 99% of the time. Just because he's terrible wrestler and hurts people doesn't make his punches strong.

WWE does not want Finn near the title picture yet. In the mean time, he will get matches with Bray, Goldust and Elias, I guess.

That Drew Gulak spot at the end with Ali in the Enzo beatdown was incredible. Nods to the character and just how odious they find Enzo.... Gulak let Ali fly!!!
Also lol a Strowman just being like: You want him? and then walking away after destroying Enzo.
Fuck me... this is working.... if and a big if they just continue beating him up. The problem is Enzo is going to win matches and shit and that's when I'll want to tune out again...because literally the only value Enzo has is as a rag doll.
Believable offense that looks good is part of workrate.

HAHAHAHAHA out of nowhere, Braun just comes out and destroys a delusional Enzo still raising the title above his head.
Broken Neville whipped Enzo's ass, Braun whipped Enzo's ass, and then the CW wrestlers whipped Enzo's ass. Man, I don't care what anyone says, that final segment ended so fucking strong.
