I ain't gonna ask you why and then slap my head multiple times because this isn't that type of review.

Paul Heyman Had Some Comments Regarding The Demon.
Those comments were about how Finne Baylor is afraid of Roman Reigns because he had to tap into his inner demons in order to face the Tribal chief.
Big E's music hits and after seeing the new WWE champion making his way to the squared circle, the word "intrigued" came to mind.
Oh, and the Irishman himself also showed up for reasons I do not mind because I too want that demon coming if you know what I mean.
All lame jokes aside, I thought the segment wasn't too special in its structure and format but it did spark a bit of a question on whether this is the end of the second brand split era.
The answer is I highly doubt it. The 6 man tag team match between the Bloodline and The New Day was a path to increase the overall ratings by just a little bit but that's just me (don't forget a Draft coming soon).
All of this was followed by a tag team match between The Usos, Big E and Finn Balor. And the WWE champion and the number one contender for the universal championship won that match.
Normally, I would be mad about the tag team champions losing like that but in this case, you have a number one contender (that WWE has to make him look as good as possible) and a wrestler that just won the prestigious big belt.
So, the decision was hard from the creative overlords' end and I can't blame them here.
You know what's also hard? Every time I se……………. (GAMER WORD, STOP IT!).
Sticking to the universal championship scene, Paul Heyman to Roman Reigns was like, "I swear to God, bro. I didn't know that Brock returned at SummerSlam or when he's going to show up next."
By the way, Paul Heyman's backstage interview with Kalya Braxton had me DYING!
Heyman channelled his inner Jamie Lee Curtis due to how f'ing scared this man is.
Liv Morgan and Toni Storm vs Carmella And Zelina Vega.
The match ended in a count-out because Liv Morgan broke Carmella's nose and Morgan doesn't care about that because she challenged Carmella to a match at Extreme Rules.
Cool, I guess.
Happy Corbin didn't show his happy side as he delivered a series of attacks on Kevin Owens.
So, what did I learn from this? Well, is that being insanely wealthy will turn you into an a**hole. In other words, nothing happened.
Rick Boogs vs Robert Roode.
The match was whatever. It ended with another W from Rick Boogs to which they took a beating from Commander Azzez and Apollo Crews because your Nigerian royalty wants a rematch for the IC belt.
Do I want to see yet another rematch between those two guys? Nope. Why? Because they're meaningless.
Seth Rollins Was Like, "I Blame YOU For Making Me Going Extreme On Edge"
I was watching this entire segment like, "Kylo Ren, is that YOU!?"
This promo screams a third in their two-match feud at Extreme Rules and I do not mind it considering the encounter match last week was really good.
Finn Balor unveils the demon in a promo. Nice.
Meanwhile, Naomi wanted Sonya Deville to pay attention and give the former 2-time Smackdown women's champion a freaking match.
That was probably the best dialogue execution I've seen throughout this episode. She just cut that promo with f**king finesse. Not gonna lie, that was a star-making performance.
Dominik Mysterio vs Sami Zayn.
A match so predictable, my autocorrect filled in the "Dominik Mysterio vs Sami Zayn" headline above.
Sami wins yet again. Coolio.
Bianca Belair's Homecoming Celebration.
Belair was celebrating her accomplishments in Knoxville, TN until Becky Lynch showed up in a black person's business.
Belair then tricked Becky Lynch's handshake into a KOD but Lynch countered that with a man handle slam.
Who says WWE doesn't make their hometown performer look good, am I right?
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
Like: Naomi's backstage promo, Paul Heyman's paranoia.
Didn't like: The second and last part of the Homecoming segment, Dominik Mysterio and Sami Zayn AGAIN, Why a rematch between Apollo Crews and Shinsuke Nakamura?
