    Not. Quite.

    Christ. I think Roman would be better than Strowman.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,933 ✭✭✭Blanco100


    Lesnar is money

    Shame he doesn't give a damn about the business


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,351 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    What was the point of that?


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 55,460 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Pretty much like the rest of the night... absolutely no payoff. Braun will probably end up on Smackdown next week now - cuz WWE logic, bro.

    Exactly. Just a few threats to fill a segment

    Jericho taken out to be replaced by... hmm... I wonder who

    It'd be so class if they put the two of them together. Starting to think though that we won't see Balor until the draft and they'll send him to Smackdown.

    It'll probably be someone stupid like Kane or Big Show now!! Good thing Zayn is tied up with Jinder 'sculpted' Mahal

    Wins the title after being injured, and his reward is sent to Smackdown.

    That would be a disgrace, but not beyond the realms of possibility. The crowd is clearly hot for him.

    Announcing his return via a draft would be typical WWE as well.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 55,460 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Wouldn't it be class if Angle just entered the match? Angle or Balor or I riot (in my sitting room)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 106 ✭✭HankScorpio102


    Finn will replace Jericho. There's no way they're sending big show or kane out there. Proper laughed at that suggestion


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,672 ✭✭✭The White Feather


    Why would Balor come back to tag with the guy who injured him and then bragged about it on RAW?

    If this happens its stupid WWE logic


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,996 Mod ✭✭✭✭Insect Overlord


    3 matches left?

    Cesaro and Sheamus -v- Enzo and Cass
    Jinder -v- Sami Zayn
    Samoa Jo and KO -v- Seth and ?????

    Completely agree. It's so stupid it's definitely happening

    Wouldn't be surprised if it's Nakamura.

    I would not be at all surprised if it was Reigns. It would be the ultimate two fingers to that crowd.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 55,460 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro

    I dunno - I see Nakamura as Smackdown bound, particularly with the Revival joining RAW. He'll be treated better there anyways... although I get the feeling
    Styles
    is RAW bound in the mini draft.

    Could play it off with something like this.

    They can still be drafted over.

    It will be Fandango. Its the only night he is over! :pac::pac::pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,351 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    Have to say, Sheamus and Cesaro are really working as a team right now.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 55,460 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Big Cass sure loves spamming that big boot


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,301 ✭✭✭✭gerrybbadd


    Why do they always use Tyson Kidds silhouette whenever there's a mystery partner?

    You may have solved it! It's Tyson Kdd! :pac:

    What about CM Punk for the unreal pop???!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,585 ✭✭✭Jerichoholic


    Please let the mystery partner be Nakamura and not Balor.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 55,460 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    When the post Mania RAW crowd could care less about you - it's time to pack it in. I'm looking at you Jinder

    Same way Brock does I guess - by not taking one


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 106 ✭✭HankScorpio102


    Mahal looked nothing like that a couple of years ago when he was in 3MB.

    You got that right

    He gave up alcohol tho. Maybe he just got serious about his training.This is from his insta

    Dammit. Now I want to watch RAW Talk.

    He's back. :)

    4 former NXT Champions in the ring here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,672 ✭✭✭The White Feather


    Love seeing Finn! My heart is delighted!!

    But my brain says why is he helping Seth? Typical WWE booking

    Amazing entrance.

    There was a real Undertaker feel to that entrance. Initial pop was huge but when it came to him walking down it's like the crowd wanted to take it all in.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 106 ✭✭HankScorpio102


    What is the point in Rollins even trying to sell his knee when he gets up everytime and does suicide dives et al


  • Site Banned Posts: 12,341 ✭✭✭✭Faugheen

    What bothers me is that he 'wasn't cleared' last night but after a match where he constantly took shots to the knee, he's fine to compete tonight


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,672 ✭✭✭The White Feather


    WWE should be using this hot crowd to set up new feuds and storylines.

    They obviously just look at the crowd as an anomaly and don't even take it seriously.That's the tale of WWE. Wasted opportunities

    Glad to see Finn back tho


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,790 ✭✭✭Bret Hart


    Brilliant shoot promo from Goldberg,it should have closed the show.

    Goldberg possibly the first person I've seen to scare the sh1t out of a crowd to the point a WHAT chant was quickly axed. Fair play to him. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,554 ✭✭✭Blue_Dabadee


    It is bit confusing whether or not Matt is still doing broken gimmick. I think they are only going to carry on with catchphrases without much explanation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,960 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Going to watch later have heard a few positive things


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,913 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    It is bit confusing whether or not Matt is still doing broken gimmick. I think they are only going to carry on with catchphrases without much explanation.

    I suppose they're stuck in a situation where most fans probably have never heard of the gimmick, so they have to tone it back a bit so as not to confuse them. It's a shame the draft is next week; a few weeks longer and I'd have advocated splitting them up so Matt could Break over on Smackdown.

    Also, "Non-Traditional fans"? **** off! 25 years I've been watching. That crowd weren't "non-traditional". Quite the opposite. They're the hardcore fans who've stuck with you for decades. They didn't "boo the good guys and cheer the bad guys"; by and large, everyone presented as a good guy got cheered (Strowman included) and everyone presented as a bad guy got booed (Roman included).


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,671 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    Knew Finn would be the mystery partner.

    Then ruined it for myself by thinking how cool it would be if he went heel to join Joe and Owens.

    Have Rollins start the match, get beat down for ages and when he goes to tag Finn, he sees him back away. They all beat him down to form a group.

    Bring the Shield together to battle them for a while before all go their seperate ways again.

    I also wanted BIG E to turn on new day though. Without Reigns doing much, I was expecting a big angle at the end of the show.

    Brock v Braun was a good set up, suckering in the idea if him facing Reigns. I guess that will be Mania main event next year now.

    Great to see the positive reaction for Sheamus. He was badly received in recent years at this equivalant show.

    The talent shake up could be interesting though.
