Only surprise for me was Ambrose bring the IC belt. That seems odd. Kayfabe, why would Shane/Daniel ever allow that? Does that mean Owens is going to SDL?
Fan reaction to Braun attacking Roman was one of the most hilarious things I've seen this year.
My apologies, for some reason I was thinking you were a filthy casual. I even remember you mentioning NXT now. It's probably Basil's fault somehow.

Most things usually are. 😁
But yeah, the wrestling group I'm in was positive that whoever lost between Roode and Nakamura was coming to the main roster. I was positive it would be Roode because I felt the main roster wouldn't know what to do with Shinsuke (based solely on his look and mic skills). I've never been happy to be so wrong!

I figured he would but only because his contract is supposedly for main roster type money. That, and they just announced a Japanese TV deal. A coincidence, I'm sure.
A few years ago, I would have absolutely hated the idea of Nakamura on RAW or Smackdown. Now, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Nakamura is one of the best in-ring story-tellers I've ever seen in my life so I think they can mitigate his English issues by playing to that. His matches against Naito and Ibushi and his rivalry with Tanahashi made me a believer and that was without understanding a word of commentary.
They'd just better now screw up my girl Asuka.
It still feels crazy to even be talking about this after the WWE formed it's own Universe and pretended Japan and the idies didn't exist for so long.
