10 Big Talking Points From WWE Raw (Aug 29)

10. Talk The Talk

Raw opened with a segment that looked guaranteed to fail - Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, and Big Cass were all sitting on stools in the ring, ready to discuss their upcoming Universal Title match as Corey Graves moderated.

Things got off to a slow start as Rollins spoke, but Kevin Owens turned things around with a great promo. Big Cass didn't have much of value to say, but Owens's microphone work seemed to motivate Rollins, who got really fired up and vowed to eliminate all of his opponents.

The only man who didn't speak was Reigns - instead, he attacked Owens, leading to a four-way brawl. Reigns ended up standing tall, his music playing as the segment ended.

There were two major takeaways from this - firstly, Owens is head and shoulders above everyone else as a promo, and even if he doesn't win the match, he deserves a higher profile in the company. Oh, and secondly, Reigns standing tall seems to mean he won't be winning, which is good.
