Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

CM Punk continuing to help out the next generation.

Yeah I was figuring Rollins would try and join the four of them after Monday only to get interrupted by Heyman and Punk and now we get Rollins interfering in the match and setting up something with him and Punk

Don't know if Rollins interferes, but could definitely see him freaking out at Punk being the one to help Roman (and going after Bronson in a way Rollins never could). Like how Owens snapped after Cody teamed with Reigns, and McIntyre did when everyone forgave Jey Uso.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

You guys thought it'd be Lesnar? It's not in the news anymore, but that lawsuit hasn't gone away.

(yet)

Levesque himself was asked at WrestleMania about Brock coming back and he said Brock is still with the company.

Then he was asked in July, and said it's up to Brock. "If and when he'd like to do something, we'd be open to the conversation.

He's still listed on the roster on the website.

You'd think if he was "shunned" or "blacklisted", the answer would've been a little more decisively no.

Heyman is totally turning on Reigns at SS isn’t he?

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Was Cody sick? His promo with Owens was magnificent. They should use this as the start for Cody to turn heel slowly. Maybe even some double turn something. Reveal that Cody is the true heel in all of this or something.

I find myself sympathizing with KO, especially after last night

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Sami looks older here than he does now.

Heymans being black and white lol.

Punks looking like a guy who follows Eminem.

Usos and Roman with their early 00s r&b group.

Don't think we're getting a Punk-Roman feud but interesting how things came full circle.

At this point, let's see Punk vs Solo vs Regins vs Lesnar in a fatal 4 way with Heyman as the ref.

Absolutely. Totally thought he made more sense and is justified in feeling the way he feels.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

The New Day 10 Year Anniversary Celebration will take place on the December 2nd episode of WWE RAW.

So.... they going to give us a Festival of Friendship/DIY split up before Christmas. Question is, who turns heel? Is it Woods or is it actually Kofi? What role will Big E play?

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Supposedly we might see ANOTHER title introduced soon. I assume the rumors of 3 hour Raw and SDs is gonna happen if we have this many titles.

I'd guess a Womens IC title. Wonder if they get rid of the women's tag division if that's the case or they keep the tag champs going between shows.

At this point, does a split happen because of all the tension we see, or will they not split because they're making it so obvious that a split might happen?

Don't know what even happens if they split. Kofi has mentioned that once New Day is done he's probably wrapping up his career. Woods already has a full career outside of WWE, although it won't be as relevant if he's not a current WWE talent who can use his current fame to boost his views.

Festival of Friendship was shocking because you didn't expect it to happen that soon or for KO to be the one turning on Jericho (I figured if a split happened it would be at Roadblock, not before, which kayfabe wise was stupid of KO to turn on his best friend right before a major PLE title defense since as we know, Jericho cost KO the title because of that). Similar with Shield splitting up, they literally won their biggest match in their history the night before.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

One thing HHH mentioned recently in an interview that everyone has noticed is that superstars have backstories/memories now (which they obviously didn't have when the booking was done by a 70+ year old who couldn't tell you what happened 3 days ago).

Seeing that with Bianca tonight yet again. Going the Drew McIntyre route with her grudges. Refusing to add Kairi to the team because she doesn't like Damage CTRL, and then immediately shoots down Bayley too for similar reason.

Depending how long Jade is out, they could literally make her attacker anyone based on when she's back and who her first feud is. It can't be Bianca since she was in a match....although, who says Jade was JUST attacked during the match, maybe they just found her during the match but she was out for 5-10 minutes before.


Tess about to take out American Made all by himself if they ever get in the way of his on camera shot again.

1 year to the day after his shocking return at Survivor Series in Chicago, R-Truth shows up on Raw and declares Thanksgiving cancelled thanks to the Judgment Day kicking him out of their group.

Speaking of which, Finn foreshadowing a split? Starting off with "There's no leaders here, BUT.....when the Judgment Day listens to Finn, we're one big happy family."

Bron almost literally ran through the announce table!

Kofi and Woods going after each other this week. Regardless how it ends, that anniversary better end Raw.

Kofi: There's a reason me and E never let you call the shots.

Woods: I'm the reason you became champion.

Kofi: You shouldn't be talking about championships because last I checked you've never won a singles championship because you have never been good enough.

Woods: What did you do as champ? You ___ed it away in 6 seconds to Brock Lesnar.

RIP New Day.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Triple H feelin generous.... we are getting BOTH the IC and US Championship matches on the same card at Survivor Series.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Finally another good New Day segment. The storyline started fine with the tension between them but every week being the same whiny bitching has really dragged it down for me. This week picked it back up in a great way.

It just feels like time fillers.

The entire PLE is mainly just the 3 matches announced going in to this week, but really its all about the men's wargames.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Another new women's belt? Good grief.

Best New Day segment in several years.

Good show overall.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

People pointing out during Biancas entrance on Raw she was lip singing the lines "I never needed you at all" from her theme.....

You never know if they'll make Bianca Jade's attacker.

Would be an interesting story too if they do the whole "I attacked you BEFORE my match and nobody even found you until DURING my match because like always everyone was too busy focusing on me."
