Didn't expect kalisto to win the dumpster match but don't you have to close the lid to win?

They used the quote from this in RAW but it's easier to post from the wwe article

http://www.wwe.com/article/roman-reigns-rosey-payback-interview
Roman Reigns speaks out about his brother’s passing and his plans for WWE Payback


...

This has been two of the roughest weeks of my professional career and life. I’ve never experienced a loss this close since it’s my only blood brother, but I’ve also never experienced a beatdown like Braun Strowman gave me.

Looks like they'll win the wrestling observer award for must disgusting promotional tactic again.

That dumpster spot wasn't anywhere near as good as when they did it in January/February 1998...even the dumpster was a bit pathetic looking. Could they not lease a proper one or something? Doesn't help that the stage is considerably lower to the ground that it used to be for RAW IS WAR. At least they tried, I suppose...kinda.

Now they've added Tyler Breeze & Fandango vs. The Usos to Backlash. WTF! The way this is heading it's going to be a 1 match show (AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owins).

Nakamura vs. Ziggler should be good too.

Gotta laugh that Jinder Mahal is main eventing a card that features Owens vs. Styles... good luck keeping the crowd after that.

SD's ratings are beginning to go down the pan again. 2.4million this week.

I wonder if this House of Horrors match is going to be a pretape from a disused, Silent Hill-esque house.

This is either genius or a sign they've gone insane, but WWE has renamed Bad Blood on July 9th as GREAT BALLS OF FIRE.

Well that's going to make a few interesting promos where they have to shoehorn in the PPV name. :fp:

Which brand's PPV is it? Hopefully AJ and Owens won't have the indignity of having to say it.

It's a RAW show featuring Brock Lesnar's first title defence.

This is the most ridiculous PPV name since Beware of Dog.

:lol: That will make for some brilliant Paul Heyman promos to get that PPV over!

Who will be the Raw no1 contender I wonder. Goldust?

With the name of the PPV and Kane being off TV for so long I'd guess him. Although is he still a Smackdown guy? Does it even matter anymore? Obviously an inferno match too.

I take it no one wants to run grapl this year? I'm not complaining as I don't think I have the time to do it.

It really doesn't feel like there's a PPV tonight. It doesn't help that a couple of the big matches feature people on different brands, so the build up has been underwhelming.
