Gonna be a lot of fake death reports coming out. I'm just going to assume he kicks out at 2 on this one.
Can't imagine how someone who has lived as hard as Flair for that long can be in bad health. I'm the biggest Flair mark around here, but he's in trouble.
It's officially official...

Surprised they didn't wait for Summerslam to have Neville drop the belt - felt like he held on to it for a long time to just drop it on RAW.
Adam Cole's a sharp dude. Really good mind for this stuff. He's got enough sense that I think it will be tough for him to not catch on in some role. It might be a midcard role, but he'll do whatever they ask him to do well.
I like the clean loss, because it finally gives this cold rivalry some heat and a legit reason for the demon on Sunday. Now I'm excited for this match.
I can't believe how shook Cass got tonight. Man, apparently Enzo is more over then the powers that be realize. No idea why the crowd was so against Cass but he struggled with that reception.
Also I liked that Tazawa won this match. A bit of a shocker for what should be a predictable episode of Raw and gave the win a little more meaning and notice then getting loss in the 6hr shuffle of Summerslam
Gents I'm not BCF you don't have to intentionally disagree with all my horrible takes.
Oh man...that probably means "smark the turnbuckle" has no impact on you either.
The late 2000s on this thread were fun.
* If this crap going down in Charlottesville doesn't prove that heel vs. heel matches don't draw, nothing will.
I guess it was Vince's way of not putting Corbin over just yet.
I missed it, but touch Corbin.
I guess they figured Nakamura winning and Corbin cashing was too predictable.
BKH is right - we have to have a babyface. Or at least someone to cheer.

Carmella probably will and they probably thought it would be dumb to do both on the same night.
I didn't think Vince cared what was predictable or what the fans think.
Most of what Vince does is predictable.
I'm thinking they did this so the match against Cena at Summerslam means more. Besides Styles/Owens and maybe the tag title match, all of the Smackdown matches are brand new rivalries that just got created in a very short time. There's really no heat to them or much of a storyline.
I agree. I think with this move last night they've made two matches worth watching now. I don't have to worry about Corbin coming in and screwing Shinsuke outta the title. Also the match with Cena is gonna have a lot of heat. Cena is leaving to go shoot his movie right? So what better way to explain he's gone then have Corbin just destroy him. They've already used the Hollywood route twice in one year, so just say he's beat badly and is out due to injuries.
Yup I agree Corbin probably goes over then Cena returns on RAW down the road...then what do you do with Corbin? Have him feud with Orton or one of the champs?
Also this discussion might be all for naught because there's a rumor there might be another superstar shakeup after Summerslam.
On top of that I heard there's discussion about sending talent down to NXT such as talent that needs more development or not really being used on the current roster.
Finally got a chance to watch Smackdown...can't believe they had Corbin try to cash in and then fail. That puts him up there in Damien Sandow territory and I guess Cena as the only ones to fail on cashing in.
Read they moved the Usos and New Day to the pre-game show on Sunday night. Makes no sense.

That's pretty messed up - that's one of the better feuds going. Just shows WWE's diminished value of the tag belts.
