Raw 11/02/15: D-Von........Get the Unicorns!

[Greekcian]

I don't really get the Mexamerica storyline yet. Clearly Zeb and Alberto are the faces in it right? Because otherwise we need an American hero who says "**** you Mexicans, this is only for 'Murica".

Really liked the Rollins recruiting Owens segment as it sets up the possibility for a feud down the line. Was thinking they were gonna do multiple of those, but oh well.

Ummm...are you forgetting about the All-American Jack Swagger. He is going to be the face and MexAmerica are the heels.

But it doesn't make sense. How are the people bringing everyone together the heels? I get that this is an evil foreigners storyline like all the other ones we've had (and haven't been relevant since 1980), but are we really supposed to boo the guys that try to bring peace?

Also to go along with Barrett, why did Sheamus win MITB? And on NXT, we should get a show. We have an NXT title match between Balor and Crews. That's a win in my book.

Because he's going to be in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Half Shell, and will cash in sometime near the release of the movie so that they can brag that the WWE Champion is in the movie and horn in on some of the publicity.

(Note: the film releases on June 3, 2016. Money in the Bank 2016 will be in mid-to-late June. I'm kind of joking, but it is actually plausible.)

It's for the same reason that Jeff Hardy (drug addict) was the face in a storyline with CM Punk (anti-drugs): because they said so.

These type of storylines like the hardy/punk one is WWE's specialty if you will, give it time you will love it.

Can I get an answer on this?

And when did the Lucha Dragons become #1 contenders, serious question?

I don't recall hearing them called the number 1 contenders on Raw last night...

[Amoo316]

Smackdown this past week they had a 4 way Tag Match between Lucha, 3D, Euros and Ascension. After the Luchas won they ran the unicorns off from the announce table. After the match this week they motioned for the titles after beating the Euros again.

I guess technically they haven't come out and said it was a #1 contenders match, but I honestly don't recall Smackdown well enough to be positive if it was said during the match or not. Might have been something along the lines of "this should make them #1 contenders".


RE Sheamus winning MITB, it's not like we haven't seen MITB winner become completely irrelevant for months before cashing in. They pretty much have always done this where they drop the briefcase on a guy then don't know how to get him to the payoff until just before it happens.
