Raw 11/09/15: Where Injuries Happen

Re: Raw 11/09/15: Where Injuries Happen

That opening promo with Triple H and Roman Reigns was interesting. It was almost like they were testing out to see a crowd reaction for Reigns if he turned heel. A lot of the first round tournament matches were predictable. The only one I enjoyed was the Cesaro/Sheamus match. It went back and forth. Glad Dean Ambrose win to give us fans hope he will get far in the tournament. I don't understand how Ziggler is feuding with Tyler Breeze yet these two do not cross paths as much. The Becky Lynch/Paige match was ok and happy Natalya is racking up wins now as well. The New Day continues to rock at whatever they do picking up the win over the Usos and Neville. Lastly, I have no idea what to make of the end angle. Kane switches roles too much and is this going to be a 4 vs 2 handicap match? RAW was average or slightly below average.

I am not as critical with the product as much as some; but I even I felt that tonight's episode should have had more oomph. I like the tournament, but Big Show was in a bracket to face Reigns...really creative.

I believe the creative and Vince are gonna play it safe with a predictable twist at Survivor Series. Hope I'm wrong and have my socks knocked off.

Loved the BOD entrance at the end...I believed that they would be under a Wyatt spell and would kneel down to Bray...so I'm confused now...which could be a good thing, lol.

3rd week of raw being booked like a "wrestling show."

Once again cant complain about the booking because all the matches have meaning because of unfortunate events however I will complain about how protected reigns is.

Who wants to cheer for a guy who is forever complimented and put into a spot to never overcome? I mean early Cena was not THIS protected. It is disgusting when other faces with bigger pops like ziggler, ambrose and cesaro NEVER get this protection.

And this could be the chance to give Bray a huge rub with a win over BoD.


Reed is comin' atcha!!

The Rollins injury screwed up people's perception of Reigns now. Before I felt like he was seeing as working for the title winning the #1 contendership and then having to knock off Rollins at Survivor Series. Big names to knock off Rollins lately in a 1 on 1 match, [that I can remember off the top of my head] John Cena only to regain his US title at NOC. Lesnar couldn't do it, The Immortal Sting didn't do it, Kane didn't do it.

Spoiler

And reports are coming out that had Rollins not gotten injured Reigns would've knocked off Rollins at Survivor Series.

Put that in spoilers just in case. But it's my main point about all of this.

Part of me agrees with you, but c'mon the obviousness of him winning this tournament after a year of protection, plus the #1 contendership does not sound like organically building a guy from the ground up right?

Re: Raw 11/09/15: Where Injuries Happen

If they're going to do some sort of Authority assisted screwjob finish, I'd love to see them do something unexpected and have it be Owens who wins with HHH's help, and then have Owens turn on him immediately after the match. I know if plays a great heel, but I think as a Stone Cold don't trust anybody type of babyface, Owens could be a huge draw. Plus we're long overdue to see someone outsmart The Authority
