    Pride of the microphone for a few weeks, maybe a month.

    That's worth as much as a video game token.

    I saw a suggestion online somewhere else. Give the winning brand the 30th spot in the Rumble, then have the GM set up matches on who gets that spot. Or, do the reverse and have the loser get the first spot, and GMs hold it over someone who pisses them off.

    So Smackdown is up 3-2 and they're doing Brock/Styles next? Way to telegraph the winner there, WWE.

    Sounds a lot like the mlb all star game.

    In addition, Lesnar could kill Styles.

    Weird feeling, but I get the feeling they're leading up to something with Cena here. Playing up the fact that he's a free agent ... he comes back from out of nowhere to be on Team Smackdown for no real rhyme or reason ... and now he's the only one in this match without a red or blue T-shirt on (after making his entrance in a lime green one).
    Dare I say they're setting up Cena's Bash at the Beach moment?

    From the distance the hard camera is at, Triple H looks like a slightly skinnier Ryback.

    Not tonight, although I did notice the T-shirt thing. I just figured they just let Cena wear whatever the hell he wants.

    He did seem to get eliminated rather unceremoniously with the two Angle Slams and the Coup de Grace.

    So, was anyone else thinking Trips would walk out after turning on Angle, then Kane would come out, kill Braun and Shane would end up as the winner?

    Fun match, though, and they gave everyone the match ups that we wanted to see.

    That main event was so disjointed. The eliminations didn't make any sense. The KO run in didn't actually effect the outcome. Trips Mania match is Angle, yay.

    But AJ Styles is a pri wrestling god. What a performance.

    <script
    Possibly, but not necessarily. Trips may face Angle at the Rumble, then Jordan costs Angle the match and Angle ends up facing a heel Jordan.

    Agree on A.J., though. That was great.

    Well, the Raw women's division just got considerably more interesting.

    Oh, joy. And I was just clamoring to see how they'd continue that Kane/Braun storyline.
