Anyone heard the Triple H Conference Call from yesterday? He didn't seem too pleased to announce the Baron Corbin v Rhyno match

Decent card overall for Takeover.

I don't see the reason to showcase Owens on a Special as his debut match unless he's going to win.

Well that certainly was an interesting 2 hours.

I thought the NXT show wasn't great. Pretty average bar the last two segments. The opener was a real disappointment to me. I had really high expectations of it because both Breeze and Balor can go.

I'm intrigued, rather than excited, by the Owens v Cena match at the Chamber. It's pretty clear they rate Owens fairly highly in the company. The one thing I can see Vince being stuck on him is his physique, but that's something workable. I mean, Reigns wears a vest to hide his gut.

Cena/Owens is my Match of the Year so far.

What a way for Owens to make his main roster debut - shows how highly they rate him.

[Alex]

Better than Cena/Rollins/Lesnar?

It was brilliant though.

[MrShawnMichaels]

The only threat is Vince is going to get Cena to beat him on Sunday and then he ends up in the middle of the card like everyone else. He needs two clean wins, drop the title to Balor in the July 4th Sumo Hall show and build him as the new Authority guy.

The Japan special is on at around 10 in the morning this Saturday? Anyone going to be watching?

Owens/Balor should be very, very good.

Excellent match, suited the crowd very well. Thought the Jericho/Neville match was decent too.
I liked the feeling of the show. Good setting and stripped from the usual high production of Raw and over produced commentary.

[MrShawnMichaels]

That was certainly an interesting episode of Raw.

That was certainly an interesting episode of Raw.

Rusev has been gold the last few weeks. Hopefully Owens transitions into a feud with him because I could see them having some excellent matches.

The Divas stuff was interesting although I'm not a big fan of how they were introduced, seemed a bit forced.

[Gingawaria]

NXT and New Japan are apparently entering into an agreement.

Exciting times ahead!

[Alex]

I don't know if it's a spoiler, but they have a pretty big NJPW guy on the next Takeover show.

Lol, Jushin Thunder Liger? Yeah, he's a pretty big name
