Friday (7/22):
- Ate at Sweet Tomatoes for dinner. We went to Old Navy to buy some new clothes cuz we felt like it.
Saturday (7/23):
- Checked out 2 new houses today with Lorraine and Vince's parents again. One was an older home and one was a newer home with a lot of appliance upgrades. After much discussion, we decided on the one-storey older home. Vince's mom put in the offer. Now we just wait and see.
- Went to Vince's parent's place to have lunch. They also had their friend's dog, Lucy, staying over.
- Went home and then went to Yogurtlander afterwards to get more of the Nintendo spoons
Sunday (7/24):
- Went to Town Square a bit early. They had a Pokemon Go event and there was a A LOT of people holding their phones out. Some of them were even wearing their team shirts and cosplaying as trainers with their plushies. Vince was immensely annoyed at having to avoid them.
- We watched "Star Trek Beyond" and ended up in a luxury seating theater in a Dolby theater, which was a first for us. It had leather reclining seats and was more expensive than a regular showing. Honestly, this made the movie experience even better.
- Went home to watch the rest of Battleground
- Watched Preacher. I'm really loving this show despite not being familiar with the comics.
What to expect for Monday Night RAW & Smack Down Live!:
Something remarkable happened on Battleground. Ambrose, believed to be a transitional champ since his cash-in last month at MITB, retained. His victory was important several reasons:
- Ambrose is a fighting champion, having successfully defended the title 3 times in a single week
- He takes the title home to Smack Down, now elevating the show to be as equal to the flagship show, RAW
- Smack Down getting the main title gives the roster (which was looked down upon during the draft) a major confidence booster
- Ambrose garners a major personal victory and is established as the best member of The Shield
- Most importantly, WWE is backing off on Reigns and finally pushing Ambrose as a champion
Despite what others have said, Battleground was not a throwaway or skippable PPV. It saw the debut of Bayley, a major win for Sami Zayn in his feud with Owens (which was hands down the best and emotional match of the night), the return of a motivated babyface Randy Orton, and of course, the conclusion of The Shield's storyline and its members moving forward with their singles career. Onward to the New Era!
