Enjoyed Raw, thought it was much better than last weeks, great crowd! The viewership was down again but its no surprise this time as it was a taped show and not live, looks like Strowman's injury is legit, its a shame if its true...

Congrats to both Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella who gave birth to a daughter this week, they have called her Birdie-Joe, cute name.
Jim Ross has hinted that he will be calling the Orton-Mahal match at Backlash next Sunday, he is in the area as he is doing his one-man show in Chicago around three miles form the Allstate where the event is.

At last, got around to watching The Final Deletion. I....I...I'm still trying to process what I just saw. It's a good confusion, however.

Raw was not a bad show, liked both Balor-Reigns and Rollins-Wyatt matches, that fatal five way match sounds brilliant, a lot of great talent in that match. when I saw that 'Heel Turn' sign I thought it was Roman so I was kinda deflated that it was only Goldust, it was about time that team broke up though....
Also am I the only one that thinks the whole Strowman having surgery and now being out for six months is just storyline?!

It seems like it may be the only redeeming match at Extreme Rules as the rest just doesn't do anything for me.
If it's just storyline, he's extremely committed. (Pic isn't super graphic, but it's still a surgery pic so yeah)

So Jinder Mahal is WWE Champion. These are words that I am typing right now not to discuss how my Universe mode game went off the rails. I can't believe they actually went through with this. I love it, THEY COULDN'T HINDER JINDER.

inb4 people who wanted new stars to win the WWE Championship complain
I seriously can't wait for the smarks to explode now that Mahal is champion. You wanted a new wrestler to be on the WWE title picture? You got it. And I can imagine the heel heat the Mahal is getting when he enters SD Live as champion.

The problem isn't because Mahal is new, it's the fact he was skyrocketed out of nowhere without any build up to him as a performer whatsoever. He went from Sami Zayn's whipping boy to Mojo Rawley's whipping boy to the top of the roster with Brock Lesnar, I feel like there was something in the middle that was missing to build him up. I had this problem with Finn Balor too but at least he had NXT success. Makes me feel like this is an inside joke that I'm just not getting.
Well, this PPV beats my fanfiction.

Then again, this is aimed at those who wanted new wrestlers to be in the title picture. I can't blame WWE booking for this. This is more on the WWE Universe's fault. They whined about wanting new wrestlers to be in the title picture and now they got it.
But they can pull of a Christian if they want to but if they really want to make Mahal's title reign more interesting, then have him feud with Rusev. Remember when Rusev turned against Mahal? This is WWE's chance to capitalize on Rusev's turn against Mahal then finally we can see Rusev hold the WWE title at last.

No, this was aimed to help promote WWEs ventures in India.
Think about it, before going for the WWE Title he was a jobber, he had nothing going for him and no build up whatsoever. This downgrades the WWE Championship more than it upgrades him.
Yes people want new people at the top as its refreshing but how the person gets the title is a very important point more than what just happened.

The thing that annoys me the most is that it's so rushed I don't think I've seen the 2 other guys actually get introduced. I obviously get their purpose, but it just feels off not knowing who the hell they are or why they're helping Jinder.
