One segment and match in, the booking looks as broken as ever. I did enjoy some of that just because the talent made some of it work well on the mic, but that was a heavy dose of what I feared about how the wrestling will continue to go.

The Winner's Purse still exists.
How awesome would it have been if his answer was "it's predetermined and scripted" though.

Seems like they should have Strowman more thoroughly shed the Wyatt look, but I approve of this match.

Mark Henry "one last run" seemed intriguing. Then they went straight to booking a title match. But an unlucky loss leading him to losing his **** and wrecking everything could lead somewhere good.

Oh good a Finn Balor promo.
Perhaps we will find out what is next.....................for Finn Balor

So Finn Balor gets all these theatrics and actual music while Rollins gets drums and the champ gets a motorcycle sound.

That's not what a pun is anyway, Byron.

I see Balor has joined Randy Orton in his crusade on pants.

Man. Really annoyed that the Hulu version of raw trims off the jobber matches ��

That's about an accurate amount of time you can expect Balor to carry a promo without burying himself.

Seth Rollins is basically the wrestling version of the weasels from Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Bashing the new Ghostbusters should count as a face turn.

I figured they wouldn't be able to keep up the momentum they created from last week's show.
