I hate the whole hashtag / twitter nonsense thing but...

The guy is awesome.

I didn't take too much from the show except with regards the main event or at least the contract signing in the main event slot. Going against the grain here but I like it. Now don't get me wrong It wasn't perfect and I'm not a fan of Charlotte on the mic but it meant Raw did one thing that NXT usually does well and one thing that on it's own actually goes a long way for the Divas, They actually took the Divas seriously. giving them clips throughout the show building to the signing, having a signing in the first place, it being in the main event all show this and if the company take The women seriously the fans will too (once they shake off the years of previous booking). The bit about her brother may be considered distasteful but it's not your typical Diva bit and therefore really stood out and did get a reaction from me which not all Divas angles do.

apart from that im a big fan of Taker but I explained in last weeks thread how they ruined that match feud for me and this week didn't change that and Owens vs Neville was quite good

"When we say oos, you say aaahh". Was laughing so much at this.

While watching this it got me thinking, if it wasn't for Rollins getting injured, who would be fighting for the US or IC titles? I don't remember any feuds being started before the injury so it would've had to have quick builds for both.

Dont forget TLC a few weeks later. I can't remember any fueds being started either. I am glad though that The Uso's are back that line from The New Day was good though.

Swagger for the US title maybe, looked a bit like that was the way it was going.

Pretty sure they had designs for Owens vs Ambrose for the IC title but now they meet anyway in the Semi final. Assuming Reigns wins the thing outright I would think (unless it's a heel turn finish in which case the finalists would feud, which is something I can see happening) I'd imagine those two will feud after the PPV anyway.

I'm 99% sure we're getting Ambrose walking out as a heel champion now.

Even ignoring the fact the commentators played up his "annoyance" in the Ziggler match with not being able to put Ziggler away easier, the fact that HHH has tried to recruit Reigns last week and Owens, Del Rio and Cesaro this week makes the lack of attempt to recruit Ambrose scream out to me. Ambrose turning to the dark side leaves Reigns with a top level feud for a while, gives us a perfect opponent for Rollins to fight when he returns and could provide a "shock" at the PPV.

Have HHH come down during the finals, tease helping Reigns once more then helps Ambrose win. The major stumbling block for me with an Ambrose turn was Rollins; Ambrose had made it clear he had a major problem with Rollins but with him gone, then I don't mind Ambrose aligning himself with the Authority.

"The Authority" in the true sense is gone, there's no Corporate Kane, or Patterson & Briscoe Noble & Mercury. Even Steph has little involvement bar her "Diva's revolution" stich.
So Ambrose can play the tweener-heel, and get some preferential treatment from HHH, without being directly aligned with him.
