    McAfee: Nakamura and Corbin, competing for the most prestigious crown in sports entertainment.

    Cole: It's the only crown in sports entertainment.

    McAfee: Therefore making it the most prestigious crown.


    From a visual standpoint, what colour is the best one for a cage? The traditional silver/grey metal one? The current red one? Black?

      Whoever did the video recaps on SD this week deserves a raise.

      Music is such an underrated part of wrestling. A generic recap video can seem good with the right music. And a great recap video is even greater.

        A clean ending and that's it? That was unexpected.

        Didn't think this match would end clean, and didn't expect Jimmy to just go in the ring, celebrate, and just watch.

        So Sunday won't even have a Universal Title match then? Mysterios are out of the picture I'd guess, so what even happens between now and MITB? Seems like there's a big SS feud coming, I'd love it starting ASAP, probably will the moment fans are back, but that's MITB weekend anyways.

          Honestly. I’m 100% fine with Roman not being on the PPV. They had the match tonight instead which is cool. Don’t force another rematch. Maybe give us some kind of backstage thing instead.

            Any guesses what we see tonight?

            I'd imagine MITB qualifiers begin. With 4 shows before MITB, perhaps each week we see 1 match for the men, 1 for the women, to determine the MITB participants?

            I'd guess Morrison, Priest, and McIntyre or Lee for mens MITB.

            And Asuka, Baszler, "Eva Marie" for womens?


            I'm thinking Kofi vs Lashley is the MITB title match.

            As for HIAC rematches, I'd be shocked if we don't see any combination of Natalya/Tamina vs Mandy/Dana.

              WWE has confirmed the following MITB qualifying matches for RAW, AJ Styles vs Ricochet. While the Women will have two Tag Team matches which will see the winning team move on to MITB.

              - Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross vs Nia & Shayna

              - Naomi & Asuka vs Eva Marie & "her partner."

                Kofi Kingston vs Bobby Lashley confirmed for MITB after Lashley accepted the challenge. Though tonight, Lashley goes one on one with Woods inside Hell In A Cell. I'm assuming this is the makeup to USA Network for giving FOX a Hell In A Cell match. Just man, WWE basically said if you are going to complain we'll give you the lowest possible match and the title isn't on the line. Lashley vs Woods is such a downgrade from Roman vs Mysterio, should have done Kofi vs Lashley inside HIAC for the title tonight with someone else challenging Lashley at MITB.

                  They renamed Piper Niven... Doudrop. WTF. I don't know what's worse, the commentary team pretending NXT UK isn't a thing or the Doudrop name.

                  Eva tries for a tag but Piper drops from the apron... perhaps this will be a one time thing and she finds a new protégé.

                    All it took was a week to kill that alliance. Nice.

                      Nikki Cross: Beats Charlotte & Rhea, but doesn't get a RAW Women's Title Match and has to settle for the MITB Ladder Match.

                        So far I like what they have done so far, hopefully Drew doesn't break the streak. The established stars who don't need the MITB are putting over the guys who actually need the MITB. Orton losing to Morrison, Styles losing to Ricochet, so far so good. Seems the Women's MITB match is going to be the star filled match with former champions Naomi, Alexa and Asuka so far.

                          I feel like it was on purpose. You could see her ("Doudrop") mouthing "Piper" and as soon as Eva looked at her and decided on a name, she looked upset. Reminds me of Britt/Reba, except not as good.

                          Could've at least called her Pippi, but guessing they just thought of the most ridiculous name that's not even a name to make the point, Eva is being ridiculous.

                          Although who knows if WWE wants to call her Piper, since they had Roddy Piper already. I know, that's her first name, but still.

                            They have a segment with Jinder, Cedric, Sheamus & Jeff Hardy complaining about not being in a qualifying match for MITB but then have the three losers of tonight face off in a last chance qualifying match for the fourth member of RAW in the match. I assume Cesaro, Rollins, Big E and Owens will be the four for Smackdown.

                              I actually hope none of them get in and some big surprise gets in.

                              Although of all those names, Cedric would be the one I'd want the most.

                              I'd love a full MITB where 0 participants have ever won the WWE/Universal title. Now that would be a special MITB. Hopefully whoever wins gets a proper run.

                              Last time we had a mens MITB winner who held it for 3+ months and cashed in successfully, Sheamus in 2015.

                              And I think Ambrose was the only guy to win MITB and cash in to win his first world title of all guys since 2013.

                                I was kinda impressed from this week's RAW. It wasn't too boring like usual. I actually enjoyed the opening promo from Lashley/MVP and New Day. I laughed when Lashley/MVP called them cosplayers and video game pals. Plus, this was a great setup for the main event. Styles vs Ricochet was a fresh match up and I was shocked at the match result. I was shocked to see Eva Marie participate in that tag team match too even if it was just to take a roll up. Doudrop is the gal's new name. Sure.

                                Stand back, there's a Hurrican Nikki Cross coming through. Thats her new gimmick. Seems cheesy but I think the kids will love this gimmick. Plus, it will get a reaction for sure. She's on fire lately getting more screentime and getting the win in her tag team match against Nia and Shayna. Other matches in the show were good too. Riddle vs McIntrye was a nice match. Same for Orton vs Morrison with a shocking result. And since Smackdown got a HiaC match, I guess it was RAW's turn. Great main event match with Xavier Woods looking great and a logical reason to continue Lashley's feud with Kofi.
