(+) Yeah! (+)

SHOCKED this isnt the main

You expect people to care about a Jinder match after whatever shenanigans happen here?

poor Breezango :(

Oh yeah, I forgot about AJ/Jinder

I wish Orton and Nakamura had come out together

Either theme song would have been great
---

did anything happen between the ko interview and now
---

---

A bunch of entrances and then the match started
---

I honestly have a hard time buying that Shane and Bryan wouldnt have talked out how this would work before the show
---

OMG they are splitting the ring

LOL this is absurd
---

This has to end with two simultaneous pins and both guys counting different covers, or something equally silly
---

Its funny how much better Bryan is at the fundamental aspects of reffing given how often Shane does it
---

Plot twist option

Sami and Kevin lose, Bryan still turns heel

Sami and Kevin go to NXT which they say technically isnt WWE and then Bryan drafts them immediately
---

This is a mess.
---

Also Orton has too much hair plz fix
---

as soon as Cena retired he adopted his hair style
---

Sami just did the best job taking a superplex without it looking like he was helping

Ah, I knew something seemed wrong

I was wondering, it looked like Orton basically deadlifted him but that couldn't be the case cause it's fucking Orton.
---

is that a tripod ringside?
---

also what is up with Randy's left pec
---

Are we SUPPOSED to hate Shane?
---

I love it!

I think the point was that Shane was counting on the wrong side the ring and realized his mistake.
---

Shane is a disgrace and DBD was right in doing the fast count since the match was already going to be over before that

I think he's supposed to be the face here, but I don't know for sure. Now sure how they expect Shane to be cheered over Bryan, the most over face in recent memory.

isn't that how it always is in the WWE?
Guy does dastardly things -> face
Guy just wants to protect his family/homeland -> heel
---

Also hey they protected Nakamura

He didn't look like he realized it, he looked like he stopped the count because he wanted to screw Owens and Zayn.

Yeah, I think they failed in execution but that was clearly the intention.

You know there isnt really anything preventing Shane from just firing them anyway is there?
---

"We'll get you a 'YEP!' shirt! What are you, a large?"

Same reason Nak doesn't sue Owens and Zayn for assault with a deadly weapon.
---

Well that was really entertaining for a finish. Not a great match but a good story segment. I was into it
---

THIS is the WWE Title Match you give the historic retrospective to?
---

Amd agree that Bryan had natural Ref skills, except that when he went to go talk to guys it was really obvious. I dont know if that was due to him constantly fixing his equipment or just because it was odd to have 2 refs, or because you just want to see what he is doing in the ring.

But you could tell how much he was into being back in the ring and how fired up he was at the end. It sold the story. I think the next step in this story is just Bryan tired of having to deal with the Authority AGAIN from the inside. He is tired of being the straight guy to everything.

Also this hype package is helping get into Jinder and AJ more. I hope AJ wins but I really want Jinder to be recognized as a heel you have to worry about and take seriously
---

One thing about that last match is it makes Talking Smack must-see I suppose
---

I really hope this ends with Bryan getting cleared for another match/run, even if it is with Shane at Mania. He deserves better, but I'd love to see him in the ring again.

Jim Johnstons last theme :-(

Ahem.

I believe you mean End of Days for Baron Corbin.
---

That was a good Shellshock. He should use that as a signature
---

Styles is incredible. I know everybody here already realizes that, but it still needed to be said.
---

I dont know if this was intentional or not, but I really felt like, psychology-wise, this match was a mirror to Styles vs Cena at the Rumble to start the year

Styles flipped roles
---

I was thinking that this was a Cena paced match where I could see Jinder facing Cena like this during the last about quarter of the match

so yes definitely agree
---

So on Talking Smack they are selling it that Shane stopped the count on purpose, and it wasn't just a "wrong side of the ring" thing

Well then
---

These two are just the best

I mean.... he's winning the Rumble.... it's been obvious since like July when they had him and AJ face off in the ring.

Interesting comment from Charlotte that her goal in 2018 is to be someone who people buy tickets specifically to see

I think she already is! Not to the level of AJ who she mentioned but still.
---

Who would you say on the Raw side?

I feel like Alexa's stock is way up compared to Bayley and Sasha
---

I waver on Sam Roberts, but thats a great analysis point that Ziggler has been in so many more multi-man matches than Corbin and Roode (in WWE canon), and in the end that experience in chaotic moments made the difference
