WWE Extreme Rules 2017: 18 Best Internet Reactions To Samoa Joe's Win

You cannot please all of the people all of the time, which might as well be written under the WWE logo at all times. If someone is praising the decision to see Roman Reigns lose, someone else is castigating the booking. Where some fans laud Alexa Bliss winning, others complain it costs Bayley too much.

And the Samoa Joe/Brock Lesnar dream match is also being questioned because it's at Great Balls Of Fire and not at WrestleMania, or somewhere further down the road when a legitimate feud has been established and worked into...

That's fine for business, but in the era of such precise scrutiny of the product - and particular story and fluidity - it's bound to be a concern.
