Also another long shot, maybe they lead off because Sheamus cashes in tonight. I dont think its likely, but possibly. Especially if Rollins gets the tar beaten out of him but still holds on to the title against Lesnar

Man, Sheamus cashing in on Rollins sure would be a terrible idea IMO. They've built a lot of heat for Seth's title run, and a heel ending it would be ridiculous.

He could cash in on Brock though. I doubt it, but it's possible.

That nose ring really completes the look for Sheamus

Sheamus's tights look like the movie poster from The Ring:

What's the point of executing a superplex when it literally never ever ever ever wins a match? I mean, isn't a wrestler who does it pretty much just a ****ing idiot in kayfabe? It's a risky, high-impact move and it wouldn't finish off Zack Ryder.

does it count as a finisher kickout if you use your finisher and don't even bother to try to pin the guy?

it feels like it should

Really, if Bray loses to Roman, Bray may as well have goofy America's Funniest Home Videos sound effects play during his promos from now on.

Chances Bray wins this match? .05? Less?

pinball

But yes, absolutely. I don't think I've seen it win a match ever, or at least not since Barry Windham briefly had a second WWF run during the Golden Era where he wrestled like two jobber matches and disappeared. He did finish those with superplexes.

The long tradition of having MITB winners repeatedly job prior to cashing continues.

I hate the commentary so much. I have a feeling that if Brock weren't on tonight, I'd watch 0 of this.

WWE formula: lose to Orton early in PPV, cash in briefcase for title later.

They probably just figure that nobody will remember the match or the result anyway, since they didn't bother to build it in any sort of interesting way. And they're probably correct.

So basically they've created immunity for some booking decisions by making other bad booking decisions.
