Jim Cornette Reviews Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins at WWE Royal Rumble 2022

[@polly6896]

I was there and this was hands down the best match of the night. The crowd was very into these two guys, loved it.

Only good match of the night I feel bad for people who went to that ppv. Easily the worst rumble in the last decade

Has anyone noticed that Seth Rollins is now the Joaquin Phoenix Joker. The laugh, the interpretive dance moves, the gaudy suit, it's all there.

[@Anto_Skum]

They even chanted "Harley Quinn" at him a few months ago when he had a white red and black suit on. It's definitely all very Joker.

[@davyjones2032]

Yup. Reminded me of Joker Sting in TNA that was actually pretty good.

[@akbarmalik5661]

More like Heath Ledger. When he was on the floor laughing at Roman it was almost identical to Heath Ledger's Joker laughing at Batman in the interrogation scene.

[@kepapurdy1489]

Think Jim missed the idea behind the chair shots. It was done because Rollins did it to Reigns to end the Shield. Reigns yelling “he wont let me let go” during the guillotine I feel was Reigns saying Rollins keeps bringing up the Shield days and Reigns is trying to let that part of his career go. If you listen to Roman, before he started hitting Seth with the chair, he told him “you took a piece of me, and I need to get it back.” I didn’t care for the DQ finish myself, but I understood the story as a whole and why shit was done. I thought it went great and I’d absolutely love to see them do it again. Either guy could walk out with the strap and I’d be cool with it.

[@HEMSteeel86]

[@Jackalblade9]

I'm sure you're right. I didn't know how the Shield fell out or the story behind it so I'd not have picked up on it any more than Jim would have. I do kinda wonder if it mightn't have benefited the finish to have the announcers remark on that history during the chair shots....or did they?

And then Brock wins the Royal Rumble. I would really want to see the storyline go further between Seth and Reigns, but how credible is it gonna be if we all know Reigns and Lesnar are meeting in the Mania?

[@murrayroodbaard207]

Rollins might cost Roman the title at Mania. Then their storyline can continue

[@longjohn526]

Lashley and Lesnar started out really good in that it looked like a real competitive match ..... but then it all went to hell in a handbag .... I think a big part of the problem is 2 Royal Rumble matches on one show just takes away too much time for the other singles matches so they start out good and then end too quickly and on a low note .... I really didn't understand the point of Lynch vs Doudrop other than maybe Vince wanting a big female heel to replace Nia Jax but that obviously didn't work

[@unfazedmotivator]

Roman vs Seth vs Brock at Mania will be awesome. Imagine this, back in 2014, both men were an obstacle for Reigns to overcome. Brock was the champion, and Seth was a MITB holder. And he failed to overcome them both. Fast forward 8 years. 8 FUCKING YEARS. Roman is the fucking mountain to be overcome. Seth and Brock are coming to get Roman at WrestleMania. Imagine the fucking story. The match that lasted just about 3 minutes at Mania, now gets to main event their second one with arguably more time. Three men at their career prime. Nothing would top it. If Brock wins, which he wouldn't, it would be anti climatic. But if Seth wins, it tells a poetic story of how Seth screws Roman at Mania once again. If Roman wins, he overcomes both of them finally and end the story that started 8 years back.

Roman vs Taker at Mania is my favourite match of all time. Idk but it's stupid to watch a wrestling match and when a move doesn't go the way I ended, we call it a botch. For me a botch is more like no selling, or referee mistake count etc, or the Black Mass on Lars Sullivan. If anything, Undertaker's bad moves only made the match feel more real. And it was emotional. I admit the women's main event and Roman vs Lesnar 2 was fucking awful. And Drew vs Brock was too short. Roman vs Daniel vs Edge was fucking great though.

[@alexjurado6029]

Best Seth Rollins match since his SummerSlam match with Edge

[@ProjectMopar6]

They really be hating on Miz

[@nqabayomuzikhulilekamangwe2690]

I don’t think Jim understood the significance of that ending, Reigns not releasing Seth and him responding “he won’t let me” (think about that) Him hitting Rollins was kind of wheel come full circle since Seth started it by bringing The Shield into it.

[@Haywire_HotRod]

I was in one of those sections that shouted “turn the lights off!!”

[@ChaseSchleich]

These advertisers must pull their hair out in a panic every time Jim reads one of their ads lol

[@sashennaidoo8892]

The new ring announcer is awesome in my opinion. And the match itself was amazing story telling. The finish wasn’t ideal but I think that have been a botch from Rollins in holding onto the rope instead of just having his hand lay on it.

[@evilshadow8761]

Don’t think so. The ref would have stopped the count and informed Reigns and he would have let go.

[@Maxx_d13]

Rollins had the shield gear on and def had other padding so the chair shots def didn’t hurt. It was payback from when rollins turned on the shield. The story made sense because rollins was wearing the gear and reigns is the tribal chief

[@tastyfresh9676]

On top of Roman reigns being an extremely terrible worker when it comes to using chairs, he makes things look very choreographed when he uses weapons.

[@edmonstonklient7707]

Did see the chair after he hit Rollins ? Continue hating on Reigns.

[@Kpoole35]

@@edmonstonklient7707 it was fabricated to come apart like that lol why else would the lip fold TOWARDS the direction it was swung rather than fold?

[@MDangerously]

That wasn’t the first time arena lights have had an issue with fans. A few WRESTLEMANIA’s ago, my friend had the same issue. He said when the lights “went down” they would still have these lights blinding you during their matches.

Awesome Shoot Today Jim!!😎🐐🐐

[@mxes5938]

to me, this was the best they did with the Shield since they disbanded it and easily the best match in this "premium live event"

[@rutherford5619]

Jim is crazy and funny asf😂😂

[@tobiasfarragut292]

Lol @ brian i went to wash dishes when miz came on told my wife..oh miz is comin on..i got this..

[@FIFApepper]

I think the Rock Auto promo is easily a top 5 ad read.

[@LeonCook34]

I was there that light blinded me couldn’t see the screen and was so far up I couldn’t see. The best time was when they music played because the light would cut off

[@rayblack3198]

I have to say this is probably one of the 1st time I disagree with jim. Loved the finished. For story telling seth was in his head to the point he couldnt let go and him yell he won't let me was great. Vand the chair shots was okay too maybe not as many but yeah I liked it

[@theyliveinthematrixofthefa4437]

17:01 When Brian said "What" I nearly died laughing . Wtf was Jim talking about . You cant out a Long d*** in a ... 😂😂😂

[@yagr99]

WWE referring to MOX as MOX made MOX more relevant than he is in AEW

[@Subhan______]

Not really 50% of the fans probably didn’t even know who it is

[@yagr99]

@@Subhan______ makes sense

[@TheRod187]

Yes omg the lights! These fans in front of me stirred the crowd 🤣 so much

[@segagenesis7708]

The female ring announcer for Pride FC was great. I used to love the way that she introduced Wanderlei Silva.

[@edmondwilliamsjr.8469]

I can’t believe Cornette found a flaw in the best ring announcer in WWE. Samantha Irvin is phenomenal

Seth Rollins is imitating the joker with the dancing and loud colored print suits.

[@Sksksksksksksksksksksks]

In a vacuum, the finish was fine, but the wwe does multiple dq finishes every week so this wasn’t shocking at all

[@msv7856]

People in your basement and you get pulled for having a tail light out haha!

[@DXCenaWWE4life]

This Match especially last Saturday was excellent from Seth Rollins coming out to The Shield Entrance to even the Finish which didn't hurt anything. It was Storytelling at it's best and AEW should take some notes.

[@MattyPeq]

This match was AMAZING.

[@brandonmaddalozzo5145]

Rollins broke up the brotherhood of The Shield by hitting Reigns and Mox with the chair so they called it back 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@DollaBill2424]

I was there the crowd was hot for this and for the big stars sadly no one cared about Austin theory and that sucks because no one knows how good he is they just know he is good Also yes and I was one of them who did chant it any people with slight vision issues couldn’t see shit but they popped for the shit Seth and Roman wanted to

[@albertgraham2250]

Rollins is turning face after being a mega heel. That's it

[@kengoku3498]

AEW FANBOYS watch WWE more than you know it💯 they spit more WWE related news than any AEW big matches

[@silentkiller1914]

Shout Out to Bossier!! We in this thang!! LOL

[@EusebioBermea]

I think Cole did say Ambrose later. They probably got yelled at from the back lol

[@kimymarie596]

I’m a woman and I agree with your assessment of the new ring announcer. I wasn’t a fan. She looked great though.

[@Subhan______]

Yh I agree other female announcers like Lillian Garcia and jojo were good. This lady wasn’t terrible but she looked out of place and it felt forced. She was pretty though

[@thugzman7890]

The best advertisement ever lol

[@michaelfeldpausch1487]

Not only did they mention mox. They also mentioned ambrose in the same night.

[@ijustlostlol4741]

Best thing on the whole show

[@janne5942]

Have Jim watched Reigns vs Rollins MITB 2016

[@FFmaxxx]

Pretty sure they were saying turn the lights off because the sign was fire... Unless it aas the Pyro that did it

[@mmabuff101]

DQ finish is fine. DQ finish on an opening title match with your top star, heel vs heel. The crowd hated it. And it wasnt heat for roman. It was heat for the booking

[@misterwardy1972]

WaS ACTUALLY A GOOD MATCH

[@gothard5]

I gotta agree with Brian here. The mixed tag was the only match I didn’t care much for. Everything else was fine.

[@StoneColdSergio]

Rock Auto is great. I had to get a few parts recently and I went to an O'Reilly's and then an Advance Auto Parts and not only were the prices ridiculous, I also had to wait a few weeks for the parts to get in. On Rock Auto, I got the parts for like half the cost and everything got shipped to me in a week.
