    What, were the U.S. Marshals busy tonight?

    So is this going to be like Brock's first run, when Paul turned on him for Big Show? Instead this time it's for Roman?

    Seriously, where the fuck was Braun? We're supposed to believe he's some unhinged guy that can't control his temper and he doesn't storm out after Brock?

    Why is Brock turning on Paul all of sudden? Does not make sense.

    The look on the faces of the two grown men they showed in the crowd perplaxed and ready to puke after Corbin beat Balor clean sums up the wwe right now on the Raw side

    Proof how much more of a team player Ronda is than Brock ... that she'd allow them to tell her to get one-upped by Alicia f'n Fox.

    For a guy they're trying to bury as a heel, Lesnar got the two biggest pops of the night.

    Was that we want Roman or we want strowman at the end?

    That whole segment, I kept waiting for Rousey to lay waste to her, and when it never happened, I thought they screwed something up. I'm guessing it's a quick squash next week.

    That whole end segment with Lesnar was just dumb. They have no idea how to build a good angle for him at this point.

    Because (kayfabe-wise) he's counting on Paul to keep the WWE at bay so he can do whatever they want. Paul failed in that Angle kept threatening to strip and fire Lesnar, so Lesnar, being pissed off that he's in Miami instead of hunting in the woods somewhere, takes it out on Paul.

    Heck, going back years to one of the first promos Heyman gave after their return, he said Brock doesn't like anyone and even barely tolerates Paul himself. Now Lesnar had to show up. Who knew a magazine could have a hidden meaning?

    After all the lengths and months they've gone to make Roman the face and Lesnar the heel in this matchup with no success, last night may have finally been somewhat of a tipping point in getting there. And they just might swerve us back in having Heyman align with Reigns at SummerSlam.

    Very 1998 Rock-Mankind-Corporation-esque, only that the F was fighting a face turn for The Rock.

    Would it have been that hard to have KO run up the ramp and out the building to a waiting car with the briefcase just to let Strowman keep credibility? They were 3/4s of the way there.

    Reading too much into it but if they dont know the fanbase is gonna say “Braun said he would cash in as soon as Brock showed up!” Then they just dont give a shit about the product or the fans. Such an easy fix its borderline insulting they didnt do it
