Once those belts get split they gonna need teams. The Garza's, raiders, new day, alpha academy arnt enough and NXT doesn't have a deep tag scene right now either. Putting sanga and verr back together would help. Bringing the hurt buissness back but with omas would be cool. Let them free bird those belts.

KO/Sami
I might be in the minority here but I think this is where they can get some burn out of Brock. The blood line is gonna turn on sammi turning him face. This is a great shot to being Brock back and have him team with Sammi and get those tag belts him and Brock were good together. So why not.

Was a bit underwhelmed with the conclusion of the show but I guess that was a product of SD and Summerslam being way over my usual expectations. It did however leave a good open ender with Lumis

Lol the faces of those around him and security. Seems most didn't know who he was

Not very Dexter Lumis like to get banned by security prior to an attack ! Usually he would sneak out from under the ring

I liked the understated introduction for Lumis. I thought AJ was concerned about a fan who collapsed in the crowd or something.

Lashley vs Ciampa was great, they booked it great with the weasley heel almost finding a way to win. Main event was fun enough I guess. They could just put the Raw belt on AJ and run back his Smackdown days. Mysterio vs Finn and Kai and Io's match was also solid. If Elias faces KO and isn't hurt at all does it mean he and Ezekiel are legit kayfabe brothers? Was kind of hoping Dominik's injuries would be fake and him and Rhea will be making out and laughing about it in a few weeks

Ezekiel definitely gone. That segment reminded me of the AJ Styles and Ellsworth beat down where Styles beat the living crap out of him and basically was telling us "that's enough of this guy in the main event picture"

Ezekiel's wrestling was more featured than Elias though, but perfect timing to stop the gimmick before it gets stale

If he came back there could be some interesting Bray possibilities in regards to writing off Ezekiel

KO and Drew promo and match was the highlight and made Owens feel title caliber again. McIntyre is probably one of the most underrated promos, which makes it even harder to understand what exactly is holding him back from being a star at a greater level. The difference between face Reigns that was main eventing 4 straight Wrestlemanias and McIntyre is not the easiest to figure out if you just by go look/promo/wrestling ability, it's something more subtle.

I like the decision to put a feud ender match like Theory and Ziggler in the main event, same with AJ and Miz last week. Good match too.

The face vs face aspect of the Lashley vs AJ match didn't quite work for me, but still became decent by the end.

Ciampa spot on Ali was great, makes me wonder if they could make it his finisher like a low claymore, with the guy starting on the ground like Cole's last shot.

I think the biggest thing HHH is gonna do is let the crew wrestle on cable. Like he gets they don't do a ton of house shows any more so instead of guys doing 7 8 shows a week they are only working 2 maybe 4. So let them do a 20 minute banger in cable. It's not like are putting people off ladders on concrete on a wendsday at 830 but it's a step up from 12 minutes of wrestling on a 3 hour show.
