Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I don't know if it's pairing Cody with Rollins or The Rock killing it the past couple weeks but I've flipped on this match, **** Cody's story I hope Reigns retains.

Rock's been good (because he can actually play a character again and isn't showing up as Dwayne who's just happy to be there) but it's also that Cody and Seth aren't great at trash-talking.

Every week Rock's like "You ****ing guys ****ing suck. Stupid ****ing ******* with your stupid ****ing bull****."...and Cody and Seth are coming back with "Your family is ashamed" and "Diarrhea Dwayne".

I think Diarrhea Dwayne is intentionally bad to mock how Rock nicknames guys? But that might be me trying to read more into it than there is.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

It’s 100% because Seth is boring awful trash. HOWEVER, does anyone else kinda get the smallest feeling there could be a double turn coming? Rock turning on Roman feels obvious. But Seth keeps referencing his time with Roman in The Shield. And Cody embarrassing him three matches in a row still exists. What if Rock turns on Roman to seemingly save the day for Cody. Then Seth turns on Cody and costs him the match. AND STILL………!!!!!!!

Rollins is probably (or at least should) take time off after WM once he drops the title, don't see a reason for him to turn too.

I thought that when Seth was the one to accept the challenge last night, but in the opposite order. Seth costs them the match so it becomes Bloodline rules and then it's The Rock that costs Reigns the title. Rollins defending vs Drew complicates things a bit though unless he wrestles twice on night one and gets that out of the way before the tag match

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

As much as it's gonna suck, it's not much different than NBA with ads on their court, NHL with ads on the ice, MLB with ads on the field/mound.

It was only a matter of time.

Let's just hope it doesn't wind up like


If we had to have ads in the ring, I would've been fine with turnbuckle ads instead (replace the WWE logo with a company's logo) but that wouldn't bring in nearly the money that ring ads do.

It will. It's slippery slope garbage I've been warning about for years and years and years now.

Cody Rhodes on WWE Rivals commenting on HBK vs Taker WM 25 vs WM26

"I don't even consider them two separate matches, I just consider it one long story."

Fitting hearing that from him.

Already knew he was advertised, but I'm guessing that's his "return" date at least for tv appearances.

Wonder if they'll announce WM plans for Punk at this show (guest ref for Rollins/McIntyre)? McIntyre would snap if he keeps going on about not wanting a tainted victory, then they announce Punk as the ref.


Show was already sold out before they announced this, but they've since opened up additional seating BEHIND the stage in the upper deck!

Drew's Obligatory response.

Drew should be the one hyping up Punks return the most on tv. Forget Cole or McAfee doing it on commentary for the tv viewers, just have Drew do it and put together a return video for Punk and it's just filled with his bad moments like his last match before he walked out, getting his head shaved/hiding under a mask and all that.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Pearce/Aldis will have a big announcement on Raw.

Likely will have to do with the tag titles.

Everyone's hoping it's a split tag titles but I'd be fully prepared for something like a tag team turmoil type thing or four corners match where we have 3 diff qualifying matches to determine the other participants.

Imagine this, you're at an NBA game, then suddenly in the middle of play....acknowledge your tribal chief!

Drew: Say WHAT if you're glad I took out CM Punk.
Fans: WHAT....

*Realization*

Fans: BOOOOOOOOO

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Nick Aldis & Adam Pearce has announced a 6 Pack Ladder Match for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. Teams from RAW & Smackdown will qualify for this match throughout the next few weeks.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

The big announcement regarding the tag division is.....

Judgment Day defend the tag titles in a 6 pack ladder match! I figured it'd just be a giant tag match instead of titles splitting, but making it a ladder match!


Maybe Cole should've started his sentence with anything other than "When I was a kid, streaking was a fad." to set up the Cena Oscars moment.

They're turning the Maxxine incident into a storyline, and it's a smart thing. That'll definitely draw sympathy from fans.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Finn: I hate ladders!

JD: He's afraid of heights.

Maybe he's more like Truth than we thought.

Speaking of Truth.

Pearce: Unfortunately for you two, Truth and Miz aren't here tonight, they're off doing media.

Truth: Hey y'all!

Pearce: Truth, what are you doing here, you're supposed to be doing media with Miz.

Truth: That's not until Monday.

Pearce: It is Monday....

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

They said Doms away right now (didn't say why, but it's because he's getting married) and then later in the show they do Instagram pics and show Rhea with some guy, aka Buddy Matthews in AEW (her bf), that's surprising for multiple reasons.
