Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I don't know about debuting one half of the NXT Tag Team Champions in Rey Fenix's debut match was a good idea... but no pop reaction to him when you would think the Chicago smark crowd would have reacted. Welcome back boring American Wrestling crowds. Sure the international crowds didn't know when to stop chanting a lot of times but at least they would have popped for Nathan Frazier.

Also Rey Fenix looks good, like the gear and they already had his merchandise up earlier today. Seems his they modeled his merch after Penta's shirts and stuff, WWE is going to sell a ton of masks between Penta and Rey Fenix.

Heyman is totally going to regret that later tonight. Also... Rollins is here!

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I love the crowd booing Charlotte out of the building! Thank you, Chicago!

That got spicy and a little personal at the end. I wish they would've kept Tiffany heel cause she still isn't comfortable/great at being a babyface.

When did the Street Profits change their music? Sounds too much like the Judgement Day's new theme song.

Everyone after that awkward Charlotte/Tiffany promo......

I'm banking on Punks favour being that he wants to WIN the main event of Wrestlemania with Paul Heyman accompanying him to the ring for the match

Doesn't mean Heyman turns on Reigns, but it would mean Heyman doesn't walk out with Reigns.

I'm looking forward to Jade vs. Naomi the most of all the women's matches. Naomi is the perfect woman to give Jade a quality first solo match.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I'm curious if the news about Owens' injury is real or if it's WWE just messing with the dirt sheets. It would suck to lose one of the top matches this close to Mania, at that point what do you do with Orton? Assuming he gets the winner of Cody/Cena in his hometown of St. Louis at Backlash, what does he do at Mania if he isn't facing Owens?

Damn, that ****ing sucks if this isn't all a work.

Nick Aldis vs. Randy Orton?

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

This is how I felt when they had Rhea announce her injury...... I hate it for KO! I was waiting for the fake out but when Orton came out in the infamous and deadly black hoodie, I knew it was real.


Orton vs Nick Aldis? I know they got to rush here but that still wouldn't feel like a worthy replacement.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I'm kind of over the barricade spot, but damn it if these two don't make it a little exciting. Gotta figure out a 'Mania match for these two, IMO.

Aldis is a former world champion in multiple promotions. It's not the optimal way for him to have his first WWE & 'Mania match, but he's a more than credible wrestler to compete against Randy.

Now, will WWE fans know about his stints in NWA & TNA/Impact(!) while also caring enough about him?

At this point, who works well with Charlotte? Seems like everyone's fighting in a lose-lose situation.

Def rebel got that iron clad contract. They're just able to put out bad music for whoever they want and it just sticks?

Although to be fair, Street Profits old theme wasn't exactly original either. It's literally just a redo of Team B.A.D theme song

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

How long does it take to get from the Island to Relevancy to Chicago? Show is almost over Roman..... and we all want to know the favor! Also was Strowman/Fatu the main event? I know they are ending with Punk/Rollins/Roman but there's still a decent amount of time left.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

You would think Heyman would have learned his lesson from the last time he told a Samoan No. He's definitely eating a Shield Powerbomb from Roman & Seth at Mania. The question will be, not who does Paul manage at WrestleMania, but who he leaves WrestleMania with. The intrigue for this match just got more interesting!

Definitely has to be real. Don't think they'd do this so close to WM just to swerve the internet.

I would've had Orton punt KO which would play in to the KO can't compete and has to get neck surgery. Even if it's a backstage moment where you can't even see the punt if they don't want Owens taking any contact.
