Lana accepted the proposal, saying, "I will allow you to marry me." She said the ceremony would happen on Lana Day before the two embraced to end the segment. She asked Lashley to ask her to marry him, and The All Mighty did just that. The Ravishing Russian bragged about her "hot, hot boyfriend" beating Rusev in the tables match at the PPV and said she wanted the world to know how much he loves her.
If the goal was to put Anderson and Gallows over, it should have been for the titles and created a scenario where The Viking Raiders chase the gold rather than dominate everything and everyone in their path.Īs it is, the feud continues, but only as fans realize the heels are really good at winning when it matters least.īobby Lashley and Lana made their way to the ring for a post-TLC celebration. How many times have we seen a Superstar or team lose a title match, come back and win the non-title match, but by then, the lazy 50-50 booking has wrecked their credibility as potential champions? The outcome, though, remains problematic. The action was the typically solid in-ring content we have come to expect from Anderson and Gallows while also showcasing the raw athleticism of the champions. The match itself was probably the teams' best to date, but ill-timed commercial breaks still hampered it. Anderson rolled out of the way, and the heels deposited Erik to the arena floor. Anderson and Gallows controlled through the timeout, isolating Erik and working him over in hopes of putting down the seemingly unstoppable champions and taking their titles.Ī hot tag to Ivar sparked the comeback and culminated with the babyfaces exploding through the ropes with a tope suicida that wiped out the competition on the floor ahead of yet another break.Īfter the commercial, as the action broke down, Ivar tried for a massive moonsault. The champions started hot but gave up control of the bout heading into the commercial break. Just 24 hours after their last encounter ended in an unsatisfying double count-out, The Viking Raiders defended the Raw Tag Team Championships against The O.C.'s Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows in the night's first match. Suggesting AOP will ensure the Raw roster's compliance with his vision was a great line and one that sets the tone for their partnership. Rollins' inability to see beyond himself makes him a misguided hero more than a villain, so it will be interesting to see how creative more firmly establishes him as a traditional heel. For years, he referred to himself as The Architect and the future, so it makes sense that he continues to find labels he can use to mask his own insecurities. Rollins as the self-righteous, self-proclaimed leader of Raw is a great fit. He apologized to those affected, but he was doing what he had to do. Rollins teased that there was one more thing he had to handle by the end of the night, and it would not be popular.
AOP would deal with anyone who withstood him. Rollins called himself a visionary and vowed to drag fans kicking and screaming into 2020.
He said Kevin Owens resisted and paid for it a week ago when he suffered a beatdown at the hands of the trio. He discussed the fact that fans turned on him, questioning his status as a leader despite his willingness to do what was necessary rather than popular. Seth Rollins kicked off Raw by introducing AOP to the fans.
