Show has been lackluster so far but this crowd sucks.

"Good grief things have turned around fast."

 

I'll say.

Ambrose actually tried to bounce off the ropes on the outside.

Well so much for the idea that Ambrose or Reigns was turning heel. It seemed like they were going that way. Really good match

That match needed a hot crowd to work and the crowd didn't give a shit.

Bray Wyatt & Luke Harper vs. Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose

- Really fun beginning with the Shield on offense.

- Some jaw dropping sequences early on… and I miss the Shield-Wyatt six man tags

- Luke Harper stepping on the neck of Ambrose to make the tag is sweet.

- Roman Reigns being out for so long is hurting this match. I enjoy the Family offense but the crowd is DEAD

- This is another match that should be booked completely different. It should be more like an AWA tag with multiple tags and heat segments.

- “Roman’s sleeping” is an awesome chant!!!

- The end was fun but this didn’t steal the show or hit MOTYC levels. A really good TV tag match.

Is this match going 40+ minutes or do we get an Authority segment? There's 2 more hours left.

4 more matches... 2 more hours

So far, my show predictions are making me look pretty dumb right now. So it goes.

Cena vs Rollins happening right now doesn't give me much hope that this is going to be a clean finish. But it will probably be a long match given we have 2 hours left

Why wasn't this for the tag titles? Best match of the night, but wow, this got little reaction live. Smart work from the heels: in particular loved Harper stepping on his opponent whenever he needed to walk over to Bray.

 

Almost thought Dean or Roman was turning just from their weird mugging facial reactions toward the end of the match. Crowd has not cared about anything but New Day yet, and pales in comparison to the Takeover audience this far. To be fair: this show hasn't given them much to work with, and they came unglued for Cena.

I wonder if there is anything wrong with Owens from last night. I can't see that match following Cena-Rollins.

I am 3 of 6. Too bad this ain't baseball.

Cena and Rollins are going to go Broadway. And Cesaro and Owens.

I wonder if this is going to go really long.

 

Not putting it as main event devalues the belt btw.

Did they just muted the crowd when they were singing "John Cena sucks" along with his song?

That outfit would make so much more sense if Seth was doing a blade job

Big E dancing + Seth Rollins in the home whites = terrific summerslam.

One of my least favorite aspects of multi-men at the same time matches. So many times a wrestler, or more will just take a breather when its clear the camera isn't on them. At least pretend to be doing something if its a Triple Threat or like it was here in a straight tag match, even if it means acting like you are in immense pain and favoring a body part while waiting out the time until you are needed again!

Also.... how can the entrances for NXT be so, so, so much better than the main roster? Another example that we need fresh blood producing this show.

Cena vs Rollins happening right now doesn't give me much hope that this is going to be a clean finish. But it will probably be a long match given we have 2 hours left

 

Perhaps Sheamus squeaks in a Cash-In?

Seth Rollins looks like he should come out on a horse and have Tennessee Lee saying 'AIN'T HE GREAT'.

 

If this was Mexico that ring gear would let us know that we would have an incredible blood bath

Cena and Rollins are going to go Broadway. And Cesaro and Owens.

Hard to go broadway when there aren't even time limits anymore.
