WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Like the story mode from the TNA Impact game?

It sounds like the plot to Hard to Kill

I was thinking more Kane/Undertaker (their final feud). Undertaker was still competing regularly after WM26 vs HBK, but got injured soon after. To write him off Kane said he found Undertaker in a "vegetative state" which is why Undertaker isn't around and Kane went on a mission to find his attacker. Eventually Undertaker returned at Summerslam and Kane attacked him and revealed to everyone he was the one who took out the Undertaker.


That's all I can think of for the reason for Reigns not being around. How is Reigns apparently communicating with Solo but at the same time not showing up on tv and suddenly just deciding to never return to WWE ever again and not even in contact with Heyman?

I very much enjoy that the “boo so Dom can’t talk” is still thing

Miz can't do anything without Truth putting them in matches can he? So again, Gable is the target of the new Wyatt Sick6, also the tease of the Creed Brothers as well.

That Bo Dallas/Uncle Howdy segment was so good. Going to be curious to see where this all leads.

So Cody/Randy/KO vs The Bloodline was announced for MITB, but they didn't specify which members of the Bloodline. Also with Smackdown at MSG on Friday, Roman is returning right? These Bloodline segments always have something happen and an Acknowledgment ceremony being interrupted by Roman would be interesting.

Nah, it's too soon. They've gotta let the "he's not coming back" sink in.

My fantasy booking - Jimmy comes back Friday. This starts the road to him reconciling with Jey to take on Tama Tonga Loa at SummerSlam. Reigns returns there.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

That show was good as ****.

I do think they should have let the ambiguity of Gable for a little bit. Maybe held him off TV for a few weeks.

Also really impressed by Zelina's mic work there.

Gunther, hell ****in' yeah.

I hate that Miz/Truth lost but it advances story.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I’m glad they’re keeping the internal struggle part of the Howdy storyline and not just going to a straight super natural/horror angle. I’m curious if the other members will also have alter egos or they’re all tied into Bray(I’m still convinced he’s the 6th member and will be referenced as a tribute) and Bo’s self doubts. Those are three of the best start to finish shows WWE has put on consecutively in a long time!

I mean, that's the pretty common theory. That's why Howdy still uses the lantern, because Bray's soul/spirit/memory is the 6th member.

Their "Let Us In" shirt even has a 6 in place of the S, but it's actually a 5 (some might say it's just in S stylized to look like a 6, but it sure does look a 5)


Alexa could very well still end up joining at some point, but I think the plan all along was Howdy and the 4 puppets.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Wow.

I was already going to be all in on this Wyatt Sick6, but I am even moreso in after that promo.

They acknowledged everything they needed to. Bo showed he can do this.

So, I'm curious. Is Howdy, Bo's Fiend? Will it be Bo Dallas and Uncle Howdy?


I know in kayfabe the spirit of Sister Abigail possessed Husky Harris and converted him into Bray Wyatt. Over time, Bray became lost again, and was found by "Him" aka The Fiend.

The Firefly Funhouse The Fiend protected... but it was never said to what he protected it. I believe I know now. The Fiend was protecting us from the "puppets". Howdy got free, possessed Bo Dallas, and with his help, released the puppets to possess others.

I think overtime, Bo is going to transform from Uncle Howdy into The Fiend. He is going to become the protector, only bringing out the puppets when absolutely necessary.

Complete speculation, but man, I want this.

Wonder if this will lead to a rematch for the Tag Titles where Miz gets the win in his hometown of Cleveland at Summerslam and they regain the titles.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Probably people reading too much into it, but people saying it was in poor taste for one part of the Dom/Liv story to involve her sending him pics and him showing it off to all his friends when that's currently one of the allegations towards Vince in that lawsuit (although in Vince's case, it's apparently pics he made her do and then he showed it off to everyone).

But Dom should know you never sext and tell.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I get why people would do that but it’s a totally different situation. In this story Liv is the one in control and with all the power. If anything in this story Dom is the one being objectified. Also unlike during Vince’s era I very much doubt Liv is being forced to do anything storyline wise that she’s uncomfortable with. But I do get why some people would feel odd about it.

The situations are nothing alike. Anyone who made that connection is stupid.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Liv wearing heels in a segment with Zelina is a true heel move. Zelina wearing heels and....still coming up short (pun intended), tough break. Fans with their sloppy seconds chants!

Reys a true heel. Not only is he a deadbeat dad, he's also a deadbeat future father in law with the way he disrespected Liv.

Rollins was gone for like 2 months, that video package made it feel like he was gone for most of the year (in a good way).

Chelsea's right, Pearce does suck. Gables not all there mentally (or physically) right now so you further mess with his head by putting him in a triple threat with 2/3 of "Bron,Braun & Bronson"!?

Truth and Livs segment was great. Then Truth thinks he's talking to Carmella the whole time. And Miz finding out live on commentary that he suddenly might have a match.

I love how this entire Gable thing is happening because of the internets reaction to the ending of Raw.

Miz: This isn't about Liv and Dom, it's about us!

Truth: Miz, I love you...but only as a friend!

People are losers. The wrestling community is full of absolutely insufferable people. Wish they'd just find something else to glom on to.
