Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

We've seem Wargames matches before not need 5 men, but guess we're getting 5 on 5 Wargames.

Who could the 5th man be? I'd guess Cody joins up with the OG Bloodline.

Could we see something shocking like Rock joining Solos team as their 5th man? Or do we see a debuting member?

They teased it with Seth being offered to be the 5th man. I'm thinking it's going to end up being Rock and Seth finally agrees to team with Roman. Roman's big redemption arc isn't complete without a reunion with Seth honestly.

So I saw they taped next week's RAW last night, Is Smackdown advertised as a double taping this week as well? Yeah I just realized after this post that if they did a double taping next week that the go home show for Survivor Series would have been taped ahead of time. Makes sense to do it this week so the RAW go home show is live.

What? Why?

Edit: ****in awesome already got spoiled on something that happened. Wasn't even looking for it. I never do. They sure as **** make sure to go live for PPVs in tyrannical dumps halfway around the globe though. This is all so very irritating.

Triple H announced the Tournament bracket for the first US Women's Champion. It's a series of Triple Threat Matches with the finals taking place next month at Saturday Night's Main Event. So assuming Jade vs Bianca is the Wrestlemania match, I'm going with Bayley & Bianca to win their Triple Threat Match. On the other side... Michin with the upset vs Tiffany Stratton.

Bianca vs Tiffany at Saturday Night's Main Event in the finals and Bianca becoming the first US Women's US Champion which will lead to a Jade heel turn and a Championship match at Wrestlemania.

Cole really called him "Jiannis" and then "Yanis".

Cody says he hates the nickname "Code Man". Orton isn't gonna stop calling him that once they feud isn't he?

I'd say Bayley vs Bianca and Jade vs Tiffany in the semis.

I could see the finals being Bianca vs Jade regardless and whoever loses winds up turning on their partner in a month or two and challenges/wins the title at WM.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Bronson is the 5th man? Seems like such a random choice, but I guess it's done to get Roman forced to call Rollins to ask for his help?

Wiseman must not have been able to pay his phone bill

I feel this will complete his redemption arc so to speak, given everything that has happened in the past 10 years between Reigns & Rollins. Plus Roman hitting Rollins with a chair ultimately costing him his championship at Mania, Roman & Seth having a redemption arc of their own within the Bloodline redemption arc is going to be pretty fun.

I's obvious with Bronson being the 5th Man for Solo's Bloodline that Seth will be the 5th man for the OG Bloodline but imagine Punk being the 5th man, a returning Lesnar with Heyman would have been interesting. Either way, War Games is going to be amazing. Still wonder if Rock gets involved somehow.

Wouldn't be the first time Heyman hasn't been able to pay.....

But seriously, that's one part of this story I want them to explain but doesn't sound like they ever will. What happened with Roman after losing at WM and why did Heyman seemingly not know anything about his whereabouts for the entire time?

And as much as people overuse the term "cinema", that final moment really felt like a mid credit scene from a Marvel movie.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

LOVE Reed as the 5th man. His addition gives enough to the new Bloodline to really make them feel like a dominant group. I wasn’t psyched that this likely means Seth gets pulled in but the more I think about the total arc if we go back to the Shield days the more I’m into it!

Streets are saying Heyman didn't answer because he didn't have any service...at a remote ranch in Minnesota...

I think you mean a farm in Saskatchewan.

But it would actually make sense in a way if he did show up since he's in Canada and it's about a 2 hour plane ride away.

Despite that, I don't think he should return, especially in this match. Nobody would be talking about Wargames or the Bloodlines or any of that, 100% of the talk going in and coming out of it will be Lesnar and all the stuff outside of WWETV going on.

The other likely reason, when Solo turned on Heyman, he broke Heymans phone (Heyman had 2, but Solo broke 1), so perhaps that was the phone Reigns was calling and/or Heyman changed his numbers/went off the grid thinking Reigns was truly gone too (and therefore wouldn't even know Roman came back)

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I mean, unless Heyman is bringing in someone from the outside, his two main bullets in the chamber are Brock and Punk. Brock has more recent (during the Bloodline story) history with Roman, Punk hasn't done much with him since the Shield days.

So if it's not him, has Heyman been out there recruiting Zilla?

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Would be great if this leads to Roman vs Seth at Wrestlemania for the title. The real title.
