Re: WWE Raw & Smackdown January Thread

Lesnar inside the Elimination Chamber, this should be interesting.

So it WILL be Reigns vs Lesnar at WM, the question is, will it be for the Universal Title OR for BOTH titles?

Given Becky vs Rousey is gonna headline night 1, and the WWE Title match would've been night 1 as well, does anyone think they will just make it title vs title? Would it be a unification match, or just a double champ? Or does Reigns just cost Lesnar the chamber match as well and make all this talk pointless?


For the Rousey-Becky feud, can Becky be the one on the mic 99% of the time? Rouseys mic skills are.....not as good as her fighting skills.

Lita vs Becky....shutup and take my money

Re: WWE Raw & Smackdown January Thread

RAW this week had some good stuff. The opening segment got me entertained from Brock's antics to Lashley. And he was dressed up to fight. That got me thinking is the WWE going to have him wrestle on RAW for once? Nope. It was a tease. He doesn't need to qualify for the Elimination Chamber. He's already in. Some solid matches for the night too. Theory/Owens was a solid qualifying match and Theory continues his ascent by wining the match. Riddle/Otis was a great one too and glad Riddle won it. Chad Gable was a highlight throughout the match with the scooter challenge and his promos. He really reminds me of Angle. Styles/Misterio was the match of the night though. Some nice spots as they really brought it on with Styles getting into the Chamber match.

The rest was just meh. This show needs to establish a new challenger for the Women's Title. I think its still Belair though. And no clue about the tag team division. Dana Brooke is still 24/7 Champ. Why? Glad Ronda Rousey didn't talk too much in her promo. Was straight forward and not sure if she's a babyface or heel. I am torn on who she should pick because I do want to see her against Becky. But me thinks its going to be against Charlotte. Seeing Lita was nice. But a part timer against Becky? Is this a filler feud?

Gable with his "shOOOsh" is funny. I don't think he needs Otis though, but still would be a good tag competitor.

They need more stars for the womens division, and get rid of the tag titles. Dakota,Io,Raquel are all names that should be called up, and then Bayley will be returning eventually too.

4HW are the top tier

Bianca,Rhea,Shayna,Dakota,Io,Raquel,Naomi as the next tier (names who could legit win the title and have a decent reign)

Carmella,Bliss,Liv,Nikki,Doudrop,Zelina,Natalya,So nya as the other tier to fill out the depth.

The talent is there, but they just don't do much with most to get people to care. Adding titles obviously makes no difference since WWE forgets what titles they even have (IC title for instance on the mens side hasn't been defended on a PREMIUM LIVE EVENT in a year or so).

Which leads into a promo that eats up another 10 - 15 minutes.

Well, at least Reigns vs. Goldberg is happening at Elimination Chamber and not 'Mania.

Still not looking forward to those two going at it yet it'll likely be Goldberg's last match (I hope) which will also be a plus.

Re: WWE Raw & Smackdown January Thread

I'm liking Ricochet's new theme music.

I know Cesaro is more or less a 'tag team specialist' but can he have consistent partner, please?

On an unrelated note, who they gonna use to feud with Mansoor since their headed back to Saudi Arabia?
