Stephanie implying that smashing someone through the table during a contract signing never happens in WWE, only MMA 😂.

Ok I hate how she is walking. Lol

I didn't like the way Ronda acted at the rumble, it seemed lame and fangirlish. And at the neginning of the segment last night I didn't like it - but I quite like the way the whole thing played out. She has a reason to do stuff in WWE, great. And big up to them for planting the seed a couple years ago.

Ronda looks really short...

Well if that didn't make Kurt look pathetic I don't know. Ronda is doing much better on the mic tonight.

 I think they played this out wrong tonight.  They shouldn't have had Kurt or Steph apologize.  Until Trips decked Kurt I was like...'okay where are they going with this'  I saw the end game but I thought tonight was a bit of a speed bump to get to the same result.

Erhmagad Kurt's fibbing right now. HHH and Steph are forcing him to say this to cover up for them, boooo

Yep. It's Kurt and Ronda vs. Steph and Trips.

Triple H and Stef vs. Angle and Rousey?

WHO WAS IN THE LIMO

what a sucker punch, fuckin douche.

I hate to say it, but I enjoyed everything about the last two nights of Ronda. I really didn't like the idea of her. Her scowl seems kinda cheesy, but I think it's just an extension of the personality we already know, so that's ok.

Looking forward to next week.

I don’t see the point of HHH/Steph VS Angle/Ronda. I’m guessing it’s just going to be Angle/HHH then Ronda makes Steph tap in a few seconds.

Ronda's walk looked like she had a stick up her ass lol

Segment went way wrong. I think the tag match will result in Kurt putting his job on the line...

That's fine isn't it. Babyface gets their heat back at the ppv. Good stuff. 

Give Steph credit. She is a former champ who beat Jacqueline for the belt.

She was talking to Kurt earlier in the night.

I'm assuming it was supposed to be Triple H and Stephanie but why not just show them getting out rather than that mysterious fade out?

I guess it fit with the whole blue balls theme of the show - the fake Cena/Taker announcement, Braun/Elias backstage leading to nothing, no Brock...

Watched two thing via Facebook this morning , as I refused to tune in last night and that damn WWE social media team at least peaked my interest:

1. Ronda/Angle/HHH/Steph - I thought it was really well done and I am so looking forward to seeing what Ronda can do in the WWE. The sky is the limit and she has the charisma and star power that could only help the rest of the women once she gets completely into the fold. And as I said Sunday - putting her against the best heels in the company is the best way to go to get her support.

2. Fuck you Roman Reigns and fuck you WWE for reading message boards and just making Roman into your random bitchy "Brock doesn't love WWE" fan. He came off like a jealous and pandering bitch and it was so blatantly obvious what they were doing. I assume people will buy it hook line and sinker and then bitch for months about Romans post Mania title run.

HEY GUYS LIKE ROMAN BECAUSE WE GAVE BROCK A CONTRACT THAT ANY BOY IN THE LOCKER ROOM WOULD PROBABLY ACCEPT.

Say what you will about Reigns, but that was a good-great promo. You could tell he genuinely believed in what he was saying from his convincing delivery. Sure, it was a scripted promo like everything is, but it doesn't strike me as false or phony like UT is suggesting. It also gives this match another layer on top of "Reigns won the EC and gets to challenge Lesnar". Now the audience believes Reigns really wants to win, not just to become the WWE Champion, but to get the title away from the dude who doesn't have to work the gruelling schedule like everyone else. I don't see how that promo isn't anything but a success, and I'm intrigued to hear the retort from Paul/Brock.

And apparently, Brock was scheduled to have a face-off with Roman last night and no-showed Raw. No word on whether it is a work or shoot but he was advertised for that Raw for a couple months now. They then wrote that promo for Roman. I agree with Emperor though, I find this gives the build up more layers and actually made me interested in a match I was otherwise not interested in. I am curious what Heyman and Lesnar will have to say about this.

I mean, you can decide that you hate the idea of Brock/Roman no matter what and that will allow you to pick holes in every they day. Or you can approach it with an open mind - and I really can't see how anyone with an open mind wouldn't have thought last night was a really clever and entertaining way to take this feud. I think I've accepted this is the match for a year now, I've gotten over being annoyed about it and I'm ready to just sit back and watch two of the very best in the WWE go at it.

Most of what Roman says seems forced/scripted and that's always been his biggest problem. Also he didn't have any of this stuff to say about Brock until after he won the Elimination Chamber? It took Brock not being at RAW suddenly for Roman to realize he has a problem with his contract? Again it came off as pandering to a certain audience and even to the casual audience it seemed more like jealousy I imagine. 

Pandering to the IWC who have said the same exact things Roman said last night about Brock for years now. Fuck who the fans actually want , we will just force their ideals on someone who they don't want - that's the core problem of all of this.

I'll approach the shit they force out there with an open mind when they approach booking with an open mind. They make up their minds years in advance who is going to be in the main event and refuse to open their minds to any possibility that someone came up along the way who deserves it and the fans want to see there. Why should they or anyone expect the fans to have an open mind when they don't give the same courtesy to some of their own stars who fans have been hot for since his redebut? 

Roman doesn't belong in the Main Event , nothing that's happened since his last Main Event suggests any evidence to the contrary. He doesn't even get Cena levels of divisiveness - the fans took joy in hating Cena. The fans simply don't enjoy Reigns in his current incarnation , being the poster boy for the WWE. 

And if they WERE going to run this fucking angle , it would of been so much more effective with Daniel Bryan a few years ago. That I could of bought , that I would enjoy and it would of made sense - but no Roman had to pin Trips for the title while Daniel Bryan was ending his fucking career in a ladder match. 

Fuck off WWE. 

Reigns is jealous of Lesnar. That's what I got out of it. Reigns is the jealous heel.

The tone used to pander to the IWC is interesting considering it didn't work with Cena/Rock and well they're doing their damndest not to learn from that. Oh well, he's getting booed out for his 11th straight Mania. Just roll with it.

Sure, but my point is that Reigns didn't sound forced at all in this promo, which is why it was so good. He belee dat.

He was never feuding or interacting with Lesnar until now. Should he have made this point when he was getting murdered by Strowman every week? Or when Cena was ripping him to shreds on the mic? I'm sure Roman has kayfabe beef with a lot of guys on the roster, but that doesn't mean he should cut promos on every heel every single week. As PB says, this comes across as you trying to find holes in something because you've made your mind up that you don't like Reigns' push.

Maybe WWE purposely kept Brock at home, so Roman could paint him in a bad way, just to get cheers.

To be fair, he wasn’t feuding with Brock until he won the chamber.
If Brock really didn’t show and Reigns didn’t acknowledge it I feel like
fans would hate WWE trying to cover it up. What would you have Roman’s angle for feuding with Brock be instead?

And it's of course your right to think this way - I just think it's almost masochistic to have a closed mind about something and then get angry at not enjoying it. You'd be much happier just ignoring it. I agree with many of your frustrations, but despite Roman being far from my first choice, I know that he's really good in the ring, will have a great match with Brock and I might as well enjoy that as it's better than being angry all the time.

He did sound forced though , the long pauses always kill me , he doesn't play it off well and it seems like he is remembering his lines more so than gathering his words. 

The second part is somewhat fair , not the made up my mind part but more so it wouldn't make a lot of sense for him to be calling out Brock all along but there could of been seeds planted. I missed much of the Cena feud but did he bring up the same thing with him as well? All the time he was taking off around that time.

I was ignoring it , I skipped RAW - but their damn marketing team on Facebook won with their clickbaiting. SEE WHAT ROMAN HAD TO SAY ABOUT LESNAR'S NO SHOW - you god damn right I'm clicking that to see what's happening - just as much for Brock as Roman. 

As for just accepting it because it will be a good match , I refuse to do that anymore. The fact is that we get good matches every week , the roster has never really been deeper with guys capable of putting on good - great matches. The storylines , the characters and the passion behind those characters is what should really be driving the show. You could put Brock in there with Seth or even Finn and tell the same story and have just as good of a match and the fans would at least accept it. 

And I'm angry because I care. I love Braun , I've been his biggest fan/defender/believer since he debuted and then came back again and it was great to see him rise through the ranks and gain the most momentum since the days of Daniel Bryan - it was great seeing the fans cling to him and organically back him in a way that's just so rare these days and ESPECIALLY for a guy with his skillset. I will not apologize or just accept a good match because that's the rational thing to do - I want to see my favorite wrestler in a match I feel he's earned and a match his fans have earned the right to see him compete in. I don't want to see a guy the fans continue to reject or disdain because he's good in the ring and can have a good match with Brock. Fuck that.

Yeah he did, and Cena was just like "lol you're saying the same thing every one of my opponents says to me". Which is true. But as far as I recall, Roman's delivery against Cena was poor compared to the promo he cut on Lesnar.
