Monday Night RAW July 25th 2016 *Battleground SPOILERS*

Itssoeasy

Jobbers on tv ? Jesus it's a new era alright.

Balor beats Rusev, I can see Rusev getting involved in the main event and that then setting up a US Title match at Summerslam.

Faugheen

I really, really, REALLY thought Sasha was going to say 'pressure's for tyres, Tom'.

Heel or not you don't call the number three draft pick winning an upset. You want the fans to believe he belongs in that company. It's not as if he was even in there with main eventers.

I know Graves is the new darling of commentary for many but that was a sh*tty call imo. And I hope Vince or Hunter chews him out for it.

Why would Vince or hunter chew him out ? It was probably one of them who told him to say that.

J. Marston

"Swag."

"Get lit."

Stop that, Sasha.

Off-topic, American food ads are crazy. 2 foot of pizza for 12 dollars.

I'd be dead in a week if I lived over there.

Whole other thread but it's mental alright. Taco Bell steak flatbread yolk for a buck fifty I believe?

They are making money on a 'steak' food product for a buck fifty? Jaysus.

This is the most I've watched of raw live in a long time and the first hour has flown by.

Agent Coulson

Two irish men on the flagship of wrestling It really is a pity Becky wasn't picked for Raw as well.

I doubt it.

He was made the number three pick which suggests a vote of confidence in him, he was afforded a special appearance on the ramp tonight after everyone else, and he was entrusted with the win. That doesn't strike me as someone who they want to present as having achieved an 'upset win'.

If it were a Vince call then it would suggest he has not got the faith in him that HHH does. Personally I think it was Graves trying to be too clever. He's prone to these dumb statements from time to time.

She's a 24 year old, it's probably how women that age speak these days.

The month off has made that flack jacket a lot more 'snug' than before.

Agent Coulson

Sheamus and Jericho seem to have a good chemistry together here.

Lithium93_

Also, just noting one thing, great that there hasn't been any time sapping Stephanie/Mick Foley back stage segments.

Agent Coulson

If they really want a new "Era" the main event needs to be Finn vs Sami.

Lithium93_

Such whataboutery with the cameras.

Mr.Nice Guy

There's a moment for Botchamania. :pac:

Agent Coulson

He botched it again fcuk you Roman

ricero

Reigns win LOL

Itssoeasy

Haha Roman botch.

Agent Coulson

The Balor Club needs to arrive in the Main Event.

Lithium93_

Ah balls.

harney

Ali hit sonny Liston harder in 1965.

Agent Coulson

Roman holds his own chest after spear not his shoulder what a donkey.

Itssoeasy

Ah balls.

Bret Hart

Roman loves too take a nap.

connemara man

Has anyone kicked out of the Roman Reigns spear?

Itssoeasy

I'd wonder will this get Roman heat as he's rewarded for being suspended.

Mr.Nice Guy

So who do we think wins the main event? I'd love Rollins vs Balor at Summerslam but I fear it will be Rollins vs Reigns. Probably Finn taking on Rusev for the US Title seeing as he pinned him tonight.

mrkiscool2

Would have preferred Finn to have not won but not be pinned in his fatal 4-way instead of being fed to Roman. Ugh

Lithium93_

Someone's going to crash the New Day's celebration.

Itssoeasy

Yes video montages.

'Tell people what your name is...'

'Plant.'

This is a New Day sucks level segment.

The most ungraceful barrier jump EVER.

Well done that man.

Mr.Nice Guy

So does this run-in confirm they won't be helping Balor win later? Or is that what you want me to think, Vinny Mac?

martyos121

Ah Neville, the man pretty much all of us forgot.

ricero

Bah gawd how dare they treat sunny boy with such disrespect

Is Neville wearing a gum shield type thing ?

This pizza hut ad

"While the athletes gather to compete, the rest of us gather to eat".

That sounds like something I would say in a Facebook status when someone a lot younger than me succeeds in sport.
