If he lost the Universal title would that make him the shortest reigning combined reign of tag, intercontinental and Universal champion?

Well it'll be just over a month for the universal title, did he give up the tag belts the next day ? If he did than that's a day, and I can't remember how long he was IC Champ(which probably says it all) so probably.

CastorTroy

Looking at wiki, I forgot he won the tag titles with Seth as well. So for all 4 title reigns combined it's about 3 months

He was never planned to win it. For whatever reason, they've never shown much desire to run with him. But the fact is Bray only lost the title so they could do Goldberg vs Roman, and then Roman stayed home (for good reason).

If the virus hadn't disrupted plans, I'd imagine Roman won the title at Mania, and him and Bray would have gone into a few months worth of a program. I reckon they put the title back on Bray though, and start building him up for whenever Roman comes back.

He is an attraction type. He is terrible as champion. Just not at all suited to that role. Flipping cars, yes, beating challengers, no.

That's cause we'd know Lesnar would eventually make an appearance with the Championship, whereas with Sami and real life circumstances we don't know when he'll come back, though it does set up a great story line for whoever becomes the next Intercontinental Champion, and assuming Sami does come back when life goes back to normal, whatever normal maybe in a post-Covid-19 world.

I respect him for putting himself and his health first, I hope when he does return his "push" continues

Lesnar made very rare appearances and little title defences while champ

yeah

Cesaro should really leave and go elsewhere, could potentially be a star

Yes thought so too

I'm guessing Braun to partner Otis and Bray will interfere with Bray and Miz history forgot

Charlotte is really leaning into the internet hate for her. She's right too, she get ridiculous stick.

PTH2009

always thought Styles won the IC title before

At least Corbin is out of the running

Bryan vs Gulak could be a decent match

Itssoeasy

Really good promo from Sonya deville from last night. She can be a star in WWE and so can Mandy if WWE can see the talent in them. Instead of pushing charlotte to the moon again elevate more talent that you have.

CastorTroy

So they said the invitational is 4 times a year. Now to see they bend those rules. Like is Charlotte on Smackdown 1 and Corbin on Raw 2? Does Charlotte's appearance next week count as well or is that part of the same deal? And wasn't Corbin interviewed on Raw? Does that mean it only includes matches?
Speaking of Charlotte, it's weird the NXT champion representing Raw on Smackdown.

They always build up the IC title on commentary but I think The Miz was the last one to actually make it mean anything.
After building the Sheamus/Jeff feud, it seems pointless having that match as part of the tournament.
Corey seemed to just stop his usual heel persona, bad mouthing anyone and just enjoyed the Bryan/Gulak match as a fan.

When are we going to get something else from that hacker? Maybe he'll be the final straw for Sasha/Bayley?

And I remember saying before that Sonya needs to be given a chance so good to see she's being given more to do

PTH2009

The hacker reveal is going to be disappointment

Whoever it/they are will get a few weeks push and then fade away

Team Brotis

PTH2009

Why would Ali who supposbly is a friendly guy now suddnely become some creeping stalker ?

Charlotte is used now just to build Sasha vs. Bayley but which one is going face ultimately?

It's shame Lacey still won't get the title, plenty others too like Sonya and Mandy whose storyline wasn't or isn't dull and boring are not in the title hunt

Build Sasha and Bayley ? That storyline is like that cathedral in Barcelona it seems its never be finished. It must be a good couple of years now it's been will they or won't they with these two. **** or get off the pot wwe. And I like Bayley but I've no mass in Sasha banks. I've said it before I just don't get her whole shtick.

I fear WWE will drop the ball on Lacey. I hope I'm wrong but WWE have proven us right in how bad they can mess up superstars with huge potential.

Actually looks a decent episode tonight

Furious-Red

Charlotte on every show again this week,oh what did we do to deserve that :pac::pac: . Im guessing she will beat Bayley anyways

PTH2009

When will crowds be allowed back???

I wonder will they do a few shows in the performance centre with a live crowd before they go back on the road

J. Marston

When did Morrison get good on the mic? He's actually funny. That Rollins line was great.

PTH2009

Once a dream match

Still cool to see these 2 in the ring together

PTH2009

Styles wins and is now part of the SD roster with Raw getting 'future considerations'
