They're in Nashville. Guess those fans are loud for hockey but not WWE.

I'm feeling that Rollins face turn coming and it's starting tonight. Maybe this going to be like when Adam Page lost his AEW Championship opportunity and regained it to face Omega later at Full Gear. Rollins loses his Rumble opportunity, then gets it back and goes on to face Reigns at Mania instead.

Re: WWE Raw & Smackdown January Thread

Another thing about that name drop, part of me feels like it was a slip of the tongue, but maybe not?

If he just said Jon, that's one thing as it could refer to Jon Moxley or his real name.

Or maybe he actually does refer to him as Mox outside of WWE (like how people backstage call wrestlers by their wrestling name even when not in character).

Re: WWE Raw & Smackdown January Thread

Did they just...............

Summer Rae, a "WWE legend"?

Don't get me wrong, I liked her in FCW (part of the reason I thought for years a heel Reigns would work on the main roster) and NXT (BFFs with Sasha and Charlotte), but a WWE Legend?

And speaking of labels, they're really going with "The most stupendous two nights in history" as the WM tagline? Who even says stupendous?

Edit-Ok, if McAfee constantly goes crazy about the definition of Stupendous, then it might be ok.


McAfee: "Imagine if Roger Goodell put on a refs shirt. Sure, he could probably do a better job than some of the refs but still"

I'm not so sure about that..

The crowd was pretty hot in the main event. Maybe it’s just a really smart crowd that recognizes that Moxley is arguably the single most boring professional wrestler in history and their reaction reflected that.

Or maybe there isn't as much "crossover" amongst that crowd and they didn't realize he was referencing Ambrose/Moxley?

Re: WWE Raw & Smackdown January Thread

This is the last week before that time of the year.

The time of the year that superstars dream of. You work your whole wrestling career to that moment. You know you've made it when it happens.


Wrestlemania sign pointing season!
