CastorTroy · 27-07-2023 12:12am

Think Ronda/Shayna won't be a standard match either from the way they kept talking about it being a fight instead of a match.

JP Liz V1 · 27-07-2023 12:39am

Apparently Theory's US title match against Rey or Santos is going to be on SD

KO, Liv and Raquel injured so who for Rhea, and singles match for Sami or solo handicap tag titles defence?

Furious-Red · 27-07-2023 1:30am

I think a handicap match for one batch of the tag titles could be a good way to split the belts.

PTH2009 · 27-07-2023 8:53pm

The Usos got an amazing reaction after the MITB win but not sure would it get a similar reaction if Jey dethrones Roman. Solo turning on Roman helping Jey would be electric saying that

A cash in is definitely extremely possible at this event. More likely be Iyo then Priest

Furious-Red · 01-08-2023 4:16pm

Will they have Jimmy cost Jey the match or will they actually have Roman lose? I think it would be a good idea for Jey to win but then have Priest cash in on Jey straight after the match? You set up the breakdown in JD as everyone will have a title bar Finn or Priest gets kicked out as he heads to SD.

In the tribal combat match am I right that no Anoa'i family can interfere, if so could Jey win by DQ maybe a new Heyman guy debut, was thinking Bron call up if done with NXT or even Waller who seems to want The Rock, I would love to see Jey win the title(s) but Rhodes Vs. Reigns story ending at next year's WM for the titles is the latest online speculation rumours

We now have a Battle Royal and no Trish Becky match

Necro · 03-08-2023 6:55am

Tribal rules is no DQ and no countout they said on Raw so there won't be a DQ finish.

Agent Coulson · 03-08-2023 6:25pm

Fightful saying Trish vs Becky was pulled because there wasn't enough time on the show for it.

Itssoeasy · 03-08-2023 6:37pm

Shift the battle royale then. The kick off show being specific.

It's a 4 hour ppv yes? Then yes have the battle royale on the kick off as suggested above

I can't see Becky being happy that her match is off the card and Logan is on, she isn't a fan

Raquel vs. Rhea also apparently pulled over time

PTH2009 · 03-08-2023 8:10pm

Wonder are we getting an extra long Roman vs Jey match or maybe a cousin of theres is making an apperence ?

CastorTroy · 03-08-2023 8:27pm

8 matches announced so far.

I probably wasn't listening to hear it, but I didn't realise that Shayna/Ronda is a MMA rules match. Don't know what that means in WWE terms.

J. Marston · 03-08-2023 8:41pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120936629#Comment_120936629

Faux-MMA, probably with rounds, point-scoring and all. The crowd will shít all over it, rightly. If they wanted to watch MMA, they'd go to a UFC show.

ebbsy · 04-08-2023 3:47pm

No way Reigns is losing to anybody other than Cody.

The tag team scene is threadbare as well.

JP Liz V1 · 04-08-2023 5:16pm

Will Jey be the new chief champion

JP Liz V1 · 04-08-2023 8:15pm

If the "big return" is Bray, I'll be disappointed

I'd love it be Big E or Orton

PTH2009 · 05-08-2023 11:57am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120940789#Comment_120940789

Dreading to think about all the 'personal promos' Cody and Bray will do leading to a match

Was Bray close to Dusty ? One direction they could go

Necro · 05-08-2023 11:31pm

Good jaysus please don't mix Cody up in that wrestlecrap Bray offers😂

Ricochet and Logan Paul kick off the show tonight, in part I think as he wants to fly straight to his bros fight against Diaz later tonight.

06-08-2023 12:03am

"Kid Rock is still relevant, right?"

Oh Vince.

PTH2009 · 06-08-2023 12:12am

Happy viewing all

On the bus home from Dublin, never beat a big 4

Necro · 06-08-2023 12:17am

Not a fan of his other stuff but there's no denying Logan Paul gets wrestling.

PTH2009 · 06-08-2023 12:27am

TMO VAR needed ha

Furious-Red · 06-08-2023 12:35am

Brock wanting to head off early?

J. Marston · 06-08-2023 12:40am

Cody always looks the part. Some of the best entrance attire in wrestling.

JP Liz V1 · 06-08-2023 12:45am

Kairi Sane has agreed with WWE to return, Asuka match helper tonight?

Furious-Red · 06-08-2023 12:50am

Not a fan of these kinda Lesnar matches, constant count out attempts and his opponent knocked down just waiting around etc.

PTH2009 · 06-08-2023 12:52am

Cody must be winning

PTH2009 · 06-08-2023 12:58am

Finally Cody beats Brock

ThePott · 06-08-2023 1:01am

Gonna be very interested to see what they do with Cody from here.

Show of respects in wrestling are so overplayed but the Brock one felt like a big deal cause he so rarely does it.

Necro · 06-08-2023 1:01am

Not sure the Brock acknowledgement was needed as it kind of breaks his own aura. A nod would have been enough.

PTH2009 · 06-08-2023 1:01am

Brock onto his next 'will he beat him' project

J. Marston · 06-08-2023 1:02am

So weird seeing Brock do that but as said above, makes it seem like a big deal.

Itssoeasy · 06-08-2023 1:07am

The Logan Paul match was good and Jesus had brock ever put his opponent after the match in the ring ?

Furious-Red · 06-08-2023 1:08am

I didn't realize the battle royal had so many in it, just thought it was the people on the graphic shown on sd

Itssoeasy · 06-08-2023 1:08am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120944984#Comment_120944984

Well brock doesn’t do it alot if ever so it’s a big deal.

Necro · 06-08-2023 1:09am

Ugh Omos was the unannounced 25th man. Yay.

Necro · 06-08-2023 1:10am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120944997#Comment_120944997

25, I only realised it myself when I was checking wiki for the finalised card

Necro · 06-08-2023 1:11am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120944999#Comment_120944999

I don't ever actually remember it happening😂

ThePott · 06-08-2023 1:12am

I knew it was 25, they said as much on Smackdown but didn't realise there was some mystery about who number 25 would be. I just thought they'd only announced about half of the entrants.

Itssoeasy · 06-08-2023 1:13am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120945010#Comment_120945010

That’s my point and as we’ve seen brock doesn’t do what he doesn’t want to do.

Necro · 06-08-2023 1:23am

That'll keep the fans in attendance happy for the night anyways😂

Necro · 06-08-2023 1:39am

Meh. I could never take Baszler seriously since the whole biting stuff with Becky. And Rouseys second run has been an absolute disaster.

ThePott · 06-08-2023 1:40am

Ronda being choked out feels like it should be a big moment but that match was not good. It was the awkward middle ground by not being MMA enough for UFC fans and not WWE enough for wrestling fans, so nobody is satisfied. Trish/Becky would have been more fitting to get on the card but if this is Ronda's farewell then maybe I can see why.

Necro · 06-08-2023 1:45am

Not sure how I feel about this one. On one hand I'd really like Gunther to take the overall record for the IC belt but on the other hand Drew losing after his hiatus seems a bit bizarre. Drew feels like the next natural contender for the RAW World Title though unless Gunther is going to take that spot

PTH2009 · 06-08-2023 1:47am

So will Gunthers streak be broken ?

ThePott · 06-08-2023 1:49am

For Gunther to beat Honky Tonk Man's record he'd have to retain at Payback in September as well.

I think he's running out of credible opponents too.

Necro · 06-08-2023 1:50am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120945050#Comment_120945050

I got the feeling they were building Gable up as his next opponent on Raw though

ThePott · 06-08-2023 1:59am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120945051#Comment_120945051

That could be a good shout, they're hinting at tension between Imperium as well so they may play up that as well in him losing.

Gable and Gunther would be excellent but don't know if I could see him winning though.

PTH2009 · 06-08-2023 2:00am

Tis crazy that Clash at the Castle is nearing 1 year. A huge UK PPV within that time timespan

Necro · 06-08-2023 2:04am

Clean as a whistle, they are all in on Gunther.
