RAW 8/20: What happens now?

[BaconBits]

So I guess weâ??ll see whatâ??s next for our new champs. That make this show more interesting than most.

[BaconBits]

They still hate Roman. All that work to make the fans cheer for naught.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

What a reaction for THE BIG DOG!!!! Good or bad, at least everyone has a reaction now instead of silence. I predict Hurricane Helmes comes out to challenge him at HIAC.

[klunderbunker]

Ok, so now we're FINALLY into the Roman Reigns Era, with nothing standing in his way of being the top star in the promotion.

Let's watch and see how this is exactly the same thing that he's done for years now.

[BaconBits]

You still suck is my favorite chant I think.

[BaconBits]

Looks like they’re moving Finn back up the card. Good. They should use this reign to move some dudes up the food chain.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

-I have diarrhea- sign.

[BaconBits]

Constable Corbin is such a great shitheel.

[klunderbunker]

I can go for this.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

I want his headband to fall off, my brain can't handle it.

[BaconBits]

I want his headband to fall off, my brain can't handle it.

I can actually understand his using it, beyond the look even. Heâ??s a heavy sweater like Brock and he ainâ??t got no hair to stop it from getting into his eyes.

[Lee]

Does Heyman have Rousey's make up on?

[BaconBits]

Brock gonna end up destroying both Roman and Finn. Braun down for the save and smashes Brock, but then Roman assaults Braun, and then Brock jumps back in the fray. Finn comes flying in out of nowhere and topples all three of em. Fatal four way at HIAC, where Finn eats the pin.

....please be wrong.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

When are they ever going to do anything with Bayley - Sasha story? It's like they get close to something then do nothing with them for 2 months.

[klunderbunker]

The lighter colors work on Sasha.

[klunderbunker]

When are they ever going to do anything with Bayley - Sasha story? It's like they get close to something then do nothing with them for 2 months.

I think they bailed off the I Love You stuff and have no idea how to replace it.

[BaconBits]

....please be wrong.

I hope I am too, but I can absolutely see it happening, and I wouldnâ??t be surprised if they put in the cell, and Braun ends up ripping an entire side off the cell.

[BaconBits]

Wonder if Taker is here.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Last Time Ever......until next time....

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Three H's is getting old looking.

[BaconBits]

Three H's is getting old looking.

I mean, heâ??s getting old.

[BaconBits]

Death, Taxes, and Triple H promos putting himself over lasting an entire segment are the only three things sure in life.

[klunderbunker]

Uh....HHH's timeline is a little all over the place.

Right after that match, Shawn was gone (fair), the Streak was broken (two years later) and the Undertaker left his hat in the ring and disappeared (five years later). Unless he's meaning their series of Wrestlemania matches, these three don't really share an era.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

I was hoping for at least a Gong then a Tweet from Taker.

[BaconBits]

I think was more or less referring to the Ruthless Aggression era.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

What Era are we in now anyway?

[BaconBits]

What Era are we in now anyway?

I think they call it the Reality Era.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

They should just leave Seth Rollins alone when he has that Infinity Boot on.

[BaconBits]

Elias’ musical chops are getting better.

[BaconBits]

I wonder who does eventually lose to Hawkins.

[Fire Marshall Bill]

I wonder who does eventually lose to Hawkins.

KO. Internet explodes.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Titus is getting good at getting knocked off the canvas to the floor. That's all he's done the last few weeks.

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Titus is getting good at getting knocked off the canvas to the floor. That's all he's done the last few weeks.

At least he’s not flying under the ring.

[BaconBits]

At least heâ??s not flying under the ring.

Yet.

[Echelon]

So I guess Steph has forgiven Ronda for nearly tearing her arm off.

[BaconBits]

Steph must be aware of the meme.

[Echelon]

Kudos to Steph for carrying that segment. Maybe her getting her arm broken can be a reoccurring thing. Like Austin stunning Vince.

[BaconBits]

Yet another segment that makes a mockery of the Women’s Revolution.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

30 day suspension.

[Fire Marshall Bill]

I laugh at people who think these guys could ever be taken seriously.

[BaconBits]

Corbin should have KO as his constable. The history there would absolutely work.

[klunderbunker]

Yet another segment that makes a mockery of the Womenâ??s Revolution.

But it makes Stephanie look great for her future Senate run. I still say that's coming.

[ShinChan]

Is Michael Cole extra hyped for this? He seems so to me.

[BaconBits]

Wonder what everyone in the crowd was staring at.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

This is amazing!!

[BaconBits]

Rollins and Ambrose are going to get those tag belts, and the Shield is going to hold literally all of the men’s gold on RAW.

[Fire Marshall Bill]

That was cool.

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Rollins and Ambrose are going to get those tag belts, and the Shield is going to hold literally all of the men’s gold on RAW.

I hope.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

That was a really good match with Cole going crazy, then it looked like a cash in, then The Sheild out of nowhere. Crazy last match and moment.

[klunderbunker]

So.....Strowman cashed in legally, with Reigns saying he welcomed the challenge and Reigns knowing that Strowman was behind him. The Shield thwarted the fair cash-in and did their big face move, despite being rather heelish. Can I get a road map please?

[BaconBits]

I hope.

It got the smarkiest crowd in America to actually cheer Roman. They’re going to run with that shit.

The problem is, then what is their foil? Maybe after the B-Team loses to Shield Bray gets a family back, this time, with literal family in it?

[ShinChan]

Heels and faces don't matter anymore.

This argument was what I have gotten a lot of times.

[Lee]

Just stop thinking logically.

[Fire Marshall Bill]

It works. The majority of fans love the Shield. It’ll hopefully give Reigns a decently long title reign as well. His others were either crap, or literally lasted seconds.

Monday Night Raw
Date: August 20, 2018
Location: Barclays Center, New York City, New York
Commentators: Corey Graves, Jonathan Coachman, Michael Cole

We’re starting a new stretch for the company as Summerslam has come and gone. The big story from last night is Roman Reigns taking the Universal Title from Brock Lesnar to finally end his ridiculously long reign. Other than that, Braun Strowman still has the Money in the Bank briefcase, which likely means at least one title shot going forward. Let’s get to it.

[DNA 2.0]

So, the Shield are going heels? This can't really go any other way, they seemed rather heelish tonight

[jmt225]

I loved the ending.

Big fan of The Shield, would love them to cause havoc no matter what the situation is as long as it protects their brethren. Braun can go fuck himself.

[Fallout]

The Constable Corbin stuff is so stupid, it's actually kind of entertaining.

[smarkmouth]

Can't help but think the pop Shield got if they took out Lesnar at SummerSlam instead would have been gargantuan compared to taking out Braun.

[ShinChan]

I feel same. Because they were even cheering when Braun tried to fight back.

[Spidey]

Haven't watched in ages. Man that opening was awkward to get through.
