Ronda Rousey just delivered one of the most intense mic pieces I've heard since Miz blew up on Daniel Bryan on Talking Smack.

She destroyed The Bella twins.

That was so freaking entertaining.

I had to actual watch Raw to see it, I loved it. Her smashing everything, and that guy, should be a highlighted moment in WWE for years and years to come.

Catching up on Smackdown.

Truth and Carmella are gold.
Evolution still have an amazing entrance theme and we’re an incredible stable. I miss them.
Edge and Becky are both amazing.
The Big Show still sucks.

The Big Show still sucks.

The Big Show turned heel.

I was laughing so hard.

.....................what?

[comfortablynumb]

Wow. Never a fan of him as an entertainer but I’m rooting for him hard to come back better than ever. Crazy.

“Cancer sucks” chants. Yes it does.

[Pheqes]

What a bombshell.

I hope Roman beats the shit out of this and gets back.

[LifeLostInRewind]

Elias face turn? lol

[Pheqes]

Elias face turn? lol

I think so and I'm here for it. Especially if he is cool keeping his down to earth sarcastic edge.

[comfortablynumb]

And an Ambrose heel turn! What a crazy way to end the night.

This is some very crazy booking. Why not just have Dean cost Seth their team the match? Or if this was a way to get the belts off Macyntire and Ziggler, why not have Seth and Dean fight AOP or Revival next week for the belts and have Dean turn heel there?

Also, anyone think Macyntire will be added to the Lesner and Braun match at Crown Jewel and potentially even get the belt?

Here's another one; why would you do it on an emotional night when the third member of their group all but had to announce his potential retirement? Why not just do the title change and then wait for the turn? Very odd booking that I expect people will ignore because surprise heel turns seem to pop fans these days, even if the timing of them makes no sense.

I thought the turn made perfect sense lol.

[LifeLostInRewind]

Watch. With Dean abandoning the tag team titles, Jason Jordan will return to be Seth's partner.....

[LK3185]

I imagine Tag titles will go into a tournament.

Because it fits Dean's character.

The Shield is the only thing that has held Ambrose together in the past. When he lost his brothers the first time he was the one that went 'crazy', he was the one that pursued Rollins for vengeance, and he was the one that seemed desperate for The Shield to be back together. Come to now and they are back together, but Dean's spent weeks being 'the weak link' and now all of a sudden his safety net has gone because The Shield has fallen apart. His emotions run high, and he turns on his remaining brother as an act of proving he's no longer weak, plus some kind of PTSD from the last Shield split when it was Rollins who swung the chair.

And on top of that, while the timing might not be perfect, using it against Reigns' stuff means that now Ambrose gets extra heat, Rollins gets extra sympathy, and so on. Doing it on the same night is the best way to really get that emotion going.

I don't necessarily think they're going to lean into Roman's leukaemia stuff much in the feud that's coming up, but it's perfect storytelling in a way. As ever, The Shield members get given the best stories when they come down to human emotion, not unlike the whole reunion angle between Seth and Dean last year.

I'm looking forward to it playing out.
