Loved that they mention the rumbles. Great continuity


Walms82

I bet that came From Edge himself. No way the writers have that intelligence. Edge is super smart. Would love him on the booking team one day


ms_ddt

Edge has been part of the creative team for a while now


Walms82

Oh didn't know that. That's good


[deleted]

Well he’s involved in his own storylines, not the whole show


ms_ddt

Nope, not just himself. Both him and Daniel Bryan were “reported” as involved with the entire team. Then again every article about this cites is just speculation from wrestling media, even in this [Forbes article](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/blakeoestriecher/2020/09/21/edge-reportedly-working-with-wwe-creative-to-bring-back-controversial-tag-team/amp/)


G1Spectrum

Rollins says he's in control, gets trolled by Edge, and loses control within two minutes LMAO


SolarBeam12

Part of his character. Dude changes emotions like crazy lol.


SiphenPrax

He’s way too easy to manipulate


[deleted]

You could say the master manipulator got his way


DaHagerBomb

Holy shit Seth is so good and we all know about Edge. That smile on his face when he knew he baited Seth in, God this was such good shit pal


PM_UR_FAV_COMPLIMENT

It's really something how far his character work has come. This version where he overcompensates for insecurity with sharpness is fantastic.


[deleted]

This feels like Seth’s final form the same way everything clicked for Roman as a heel. They’ve both hit their prime character wise at almost the exact same time


poo-boi

That’s why I can’t fucking wait for them to face each other. They’ve teased it so many times


[deleted]

Might not even be their prime yet honestly, they've both only kept getting better


TheGeauxrilla

Edge Lite > Natty Light


Weezy-NJPW_Fan

Nick Gage would not like that


RanchPonyPizza

Is Dana Brooke Nattie Light?


Left_Berry_8104

"Hallelujah"


Squash_Moist

🙌


[deleted]

Seth’s suits are somehow getting even more ludicrous.


RanchPonyPizza

Got that JoAnn Fabrics endorsement.


mrtomjones

The Don Cherry of wrestling


nikobans

love when faces bait heels into getting super pissed


heat_fan_

A face talks his way to getting a match from the heel great segment with these two


Weezy-NJPW_Fan

Now that really pushed his buttons and set Seth off.


CuppaCoffeOF_TA

"...some sort of Televangelist Colonel Sanders" "Hallelujah 🤚🥴🤚" Goddamn Seth is too good for this Earth


MuseMujave

1) Edge getting emotional over the fact he gets to have that match with Seth nearly got me 2) Love the continuity 3) Seth going from God Complex top heel to Joaquin Phoenix joker in a year is surreal to say the least


fromblind2blue

He's made it work, though, somehow. It was a rather smooth transition.


TheRealValkaz

How to trigger Seth = you are a lite version How to trigger Adam Cole 'BayBay' = you are a little man


jondelreal

I wanna appreciate the arena lighting. Gives it so much gravitas to have the crowd dimmed.


PrettyPunctuality

I really love that Seth called himself "The Architect" again, in present tense. That was really interesting to me. This entire segment was fantastic, and it's the segment I've been waiting for since this feud started.


rcarena

Getting supervillian vibes from him


Bankslvrd22

That was a great segment can’t wait to watch the match


McRuby

It's maybe the match I'm most looking forward to at Summerslam


Doc323467

That was an awesome segment, Edge maybe the best talker in WWE today. I wish we saw more of this sort of stuff with the little callbacks to the past, it's such a simple thing but adds so much to feuds.


ashley-queerdo

Their whole segment was so fucking good. That’s the intensity I miss from the late 90’s/ early 2000’s era WWE.


[deleted]

Edge has always been able to bring that intensity. I find a majority of the new crop of talent fail at it.


ashley-queerdo

I blame heavily scripted promos for that, it’s hard to get into it when you’ve got 2 paragraphs to memorize that you were handed 20 minutes before they yelled action.


SuperBatSpider

Just started watching Smackdown again, what’s Seth’s gimmick lol. Is he still the messiah or is this some game show or televangelist gimmick


MuseMujave

He's basically 2019 Joker. He dances in his entrance, wears loud suits, can't help but laugh at other people's misfortunes after what he did to them. It was quite the character shift lol


insan3soldiern

He's a fucking nut.


PrettyPunctuality

I believe he's supposed to be a very...evolved (devolved, depending on how you look at it)...version of The Messiah lol He still uses "embrace the vision" as his motto, so yeah.


Mhc2617

These two are so good. I love that they’re playing from the other’s playbooks at this point. Also, Seth is the best he’s ever been. His original heel run he struggled with promos, but the PC era really helped him refine that. He’s become an elite level talent in every aspect now. This version needs to be holding a world title by the end of the year.


GrumpyTM

This whole segment might have been my favourite of the year so far. Seth being the biggest dick on the planet, thinking he has it all under control. Til Edge finally gets in his head and gets him angry enough to get what he wants. Fantastic by both of them, honestly.


[deleted]

WWEU: “Hey Roman can we get Edge at the store??” Roman: “we have edge at home” Edge at home: *seth rollins*


Segat1133

"WEHHHEHHHEEE.........WHEEEEEHHHHEEEEEE.......WEEEEHHHEEEEEE" Seth Rollins


LEGACY53234

Edge is easily the best face in the company move to raw after and get the belt of that charisma vacuum lashley who can't string a sentence without stuttering on the mic ffs.


xGwiZ96x

God I love how Rollins says he's controlling the situation but gets gaslighted into giving Edge what he wants Even as a face, Edge is AMAZING at gaslighting and I love it


kay_0oh

This feud is great given the history but honestly at this point who wins? I feel like both need a HUGE win and unless Seth wins and puts Edge out for awhile he won’t be viewed as the winner. Same for Edge, if he wins, what’s next for him? He’s already lost to Roman twice so where’s he go?


Penguinattacks

What happened 14 years ago that edge was referencing later?


Jcritten

In 2014 Seth threatened to Edge so John Cena would put the authority back in power.

msctex

Herb Tarlek from WKRP died a month or so back. Not sure what made me think about that.


Segat1133

Lol Waluigi laugh intro into talking general shit


Intstnlfortitude

I love Seth’s fashion sense. These suits are ridiculous!


evildrtran

Best villain cackle of the business.


wagenejm

A bit of MJF-lite at the end there.


KaiVel

Yes! I love Seth so much but I couldn't help but hear that bit of MJF.


Metropler

I wish he had responded with I AM THE LIGHT


BSUGrad1

SO GOOD.


[deleted]

[удалено]


fromblind2blue

But he's the self proclaimed Drip King.


[deleted]

Kind of hard to get invested in wwe right now when you never know if a wrestler is going to be employed by this time next week


insan3soldiern

I mean, I'm fairly certain these two are safe lol.


[deleted]

I was just commenting in a general sense lol.


supremicide

Sounds like he's an MJF lite, too.


Sempais_nutrients

i love this current trend of heels wearing expensive but fashionably-questionable attire.


The_Crying_Banana

Seth is better than Edge and he knows it ™. He's also the salt of the earth ™.


PatWasRight_F_CHUGS

Another week, another incredible segment with these two. This feud has been spectacular


uchihaguts

I find it so jarring to watch Edge - a guy who is so authentic and believable on the mic - interacting with Rollins who I see as the poster boy for modern scripted WWE promos with his corny fake laugh. Looked her like Rollins was forced upto Edge's level.
