FYI, if yall aren't watching 205 Live, you need to be. Since rebooting, its consistently put on great matches.

And you absolutely need to watch the Mustafa Ali vs Buddy Murphy match from tonight. Here's a sample

They should've put the title on Ali at WM imo....he'd be a great face of the CW division (not only with ring skills, but has a good backstory, is very likable and cuts a good promo).

Damn...

Almas vs Sin Cara had a ten minute preshow match that's as good anything I've seen on the main roster all year.

Almas is the truth.

 

[futballiscool]

Yes!

 

[Duffman]

Douchebag Heel Randy Orton is miles better than Face Orton, glad to have him back.

 

[RobToxin]

By far, The Miz is the best heel in WWE.

 

[wildturkey]

Yes!

It was a great match. Told a story perfectly where Almas got enhanced despite taking a clean loss.

Agreed. Also the main event/upper mid card on the SD card outside of AJ, Bryan and Hardy is entirely Heel (Joe, Nakamura, Orton, Almas, Rusev, The Miz). It's setup perfectly for Rusev to officially go babyface and get a huge push. Big E can start having a bigger role in singles matches too.

Agreed. Plus the staredown at the end of the match made it feel like there was something left with them down the road.

It's been rumored Styles/Joe is the next feud but I'm down for Almas/Styles after that one with Styles eventually putting him over.

Pathetic Smackdown.

Paige should have made a made the Miz/Bryan match at the end.

 

[Duffman]

AJ vs Joe is official. Their first match in WWE and I know WWE is different than ROH or TNA but damn if it won’t be an amazing match.

Yep, it was clear from the beginning of the promo that the "baby" was going to be used as a prop in some way.

Yeah, that was telegraphed from a thousand miles away.

 

[tducey]

Heel Orton is a million times better than Face Orton. Good to have him back in that role.

That was the only strong point

Gee, I wonder if Charlotte is going to cause Becky to lose to Carmella at SS.

 

[Ewa PGH Fan]

Gee, I wonder if Charlotte is going to cause Becky to lose to Carmella at SS.

Or Charlotte taps/pins Becky to win the title at SS.

WWE just loves these frienemy angles!!!

 

[StanMarsh51]

Yea, while most want Becky to win, I'd be fine with Charlotte winning and turning heel in the process (maybe something along the lines of Becky trying to congratulate her and Charlotte telling her to gtfo of her ring) to start a feud between the two.

Too bad it's not possible to put someone in the disarmher and figure 8 at the same time unless you invert the disarmher. Having Carmela tapping to both at the same time would be a cool way to start a feud. Got it, Becky could pin Carmela while she's in the figure 8. Although that would require a ref bump and a second ref so one can count the pin while the other only sees the tap out. That might be too hocky though.

 

[tducey]

Think Charlotte wins at Summerslam, would have been nice to see Becky win but anything's better than Carmella.
