They probably could have gone for something a bit more interesting but HHH having the title again.
He probably will at some point, right enough.

The problem I've seen with 'The Authority' from limited watching, is that it's dragged on too long. There's always been the heel GM/owner angle, with some kind of catchphrase("Best for business. In the interest of fairness, etc"), but there's always been a challenger. The last 2 I can think of were Don Cena, who can do it because he's the top guy on the card. The other being Bryan, who pulled it off through being so over with the crowd. Reigns is never going to be able to do it by himself unless he learns to talk.
The other problem with HHH/Steph is that they rock up one week and take all the heel heat, but then sometimes even later in the same show they act face.
They should have just let Reigns take the title imo. We all know it's coming soon, so why not give him a moment? But saying that, there was no top heel now that Rollins is gone. So I guess Sheamus and the now not-Russian Rusev are the best ways to go.
Yep, the Authority really are neither one thing nor the other.
The main problem is that Bryan Vs the authority felt real. Whether there's any truth in them not wanting him as the champ or whether that was just designed, it felt like you had to support Bryan to help him get there. With Reigns they are trying to manufacture the same situation while we all know they're wanking over him backstage. Just doesn't work.
Feckin' Jaysus.
Loads of factions now, yet jack all for SS...
League of Nations created last week, no-where to bee seen when Sheamus gets attacked...
I was never an ECW guy so I've just been disappointed when the Dudleys've twice failed to bring out Spike Dudley.
Tommy Dreamer looked like a waxwork, but fortunately for him Rhyno looks like complete shit.
Rhyno looks like he's about 25 stone trapped inside enough skin for a 16 stone man.
EZ Money and Roadkill will show up on the PPV so the Wyatts can lose another feud.
Watching WM22. How long has HHH been doing these ridiculous entrances at Wrestlemania, then?Fucking hell.
EDIT: And yet this mobster thing between his and Cena's entrances is even worse.
EDIT again: No, shit, it's actually Cena's entrance. Fucking hell.
Keep your eyes out for a straight edge gangster among Cena's crew during that entrance.
Enjjoyed that match. Especially when you compared it to some-spots-and-a-finisher in the other title's triple threat.
Also loved the crowd being well into HHH battering Cena with a sledgehammer.
Orton out until 2017, needs more surgery and even when he does return could be part time.
Looks like Bryan's and Sting's career is over too.
What a shit thing for all involved.
I thought Bryan was cleared to wrestle months ago and that only the WWE docs refuse to clear him
That's the story, yeah.
Highly tempted to give NXT a go. Is it as good as everyone says?
You're about a year late. It peaked in 2014 until early this year. Now it's nowhere near that quality but still worth a watch.
Watching Backlash '06 (well, the two matches on it that look worth watching... sorry HBK/God) and suddenly since whichever PPV I saw last where Shelton Benjamin wrestled he is a heel. His main heelish behaviour appears to be grinning and smugly and brushing his hands extravagantly.
Sheamus, Owens & Wyatts @2.22 - £100 on
edit: Balls, Owens you knob. Did shit it after I placed it, should had back New Day. Won £700 over the weekend, so run ended.
You shouldn't be allowed to handle your own money.
This was good
I thought that was a good pay per view, bullshit at the end aside. Triple Haitch vs Roman Reigns at Royal Rumble (which he will probably fucking win again)? Ugh.
The tag match donned (they seem to be the best things at half of the pay per views these days), and the trombone spot was brilliant. I also thought Alberto 'Best Wrestler in the World' Del Rio vs Swack Jagger was particularly well done in terms of getting the former over as a shithouse. It's just a shame the pre-show mentioned Ricardo Rodriguez a couple of times getting my hopes up that he would come back.
The tag match was really good. Didn't watch the rest in full but may go back to Del Rio Vs Swagger. I just hate the concept of a "chairs" match but it looked good. The divas was mental. How have they fucked it up and made them both heels?
Stick RAW on for the first time in.... a year? And Vince McMahon is coming.
Unfortunately there's no chance he's the next segment, so I'll fuck it off before he does. But still. Vince.
I could have watched Vince all night. But there's no way I can survive another 2 hours to get to the title match so.... that's me done for about a year.
Didn't stay up but just read the results. What the fuck are they playing at?
Turns out Vince McMahon can get Roman Reigns over, all he had to do was show up.
Even that didn't really seem to work from the bits I saw. Reigns only getting a lukewarm pop against McMahon can't be a good sign.
He got a huge pop* when he got the 3 count.
*By today's standards
A title change on RAW will do that, I guess. I can't see it lasting long, but we will see. I half expect them to take the belt off him within a week.
HHH vs Roman for the title
HHH to be champ again
They went madder for him last night than I've seen since he was the guy at the end of that Royal Rumble who wasn't Batista.
Wasn't it in Philly though? That's a good crowd in general.
Philly was the crowd that first went against him
Everyone followed because Philly is cool
Last night was the same arena he won the Rumble in, and even Rock couldn't stop the boos that night. Vince McMahon being one of the best on-screen characters in history showed itself again on Raw.
.....
It would have been better as a surprise but "No Chance" hitting is my favourite Raw moment in ages.
Vincent Kennedy McMahon.
And that main event and ending was belting too. I was actually liking Sheamus as a champion as well, if only because he wasn't just a relentless coward and was actually challenging Reigns.
Jesus
He'll still get shat on by the Royal Rumble crowd won't he? Who wins that now anyway? Baroque Les-nar? Don Cena.
It has to be Cena, doesn't it? I'd convinced myself Reigns was going back-to-back but clearly not and having Lesnar win it would be an utter waste of everybody's time.
.....
I'm going HHH as Rumble winner. If they're going to boo every winner until the corpse of Daniel Bryan is presented, might as well go with it properly.
If they want major heat on HHH and get Roman over, have Bryan to return at the Rumble, with HHH knocking him out and taking his place and have Roman costing him the win
Daniel Bryan shouldn't be anywhere near it really. Something like that would be a little too transparent, even for WWE.
I thought HHH was facing dah rock?
Is Santino Marella back now?
