WWE Discussion thread- Raw/SD/PPV

Trips is determined to get Kross over but the Final Testament just isn’t doing anything for me. Maybe they should try a jealousy angle with Kross beating up anybody who looks at Scarlett.

That would be purpose for them. That's what they're missing.

It's just going to make me laugh every time at how low WWE goes.

If you have seen the South Park "Cred" episode which exposes how stupid it is, this just puts it over the top.

[JustinVerlander07]

In fairness prime is a really delicious drink. /ducks and covers

last month i saw prime in the dollar tree, they lost a lot of cred with that move

[packman80]

The A&E Legends on Scott Hall was very good.

[Jaypers]

Muhammed Ali inducted into the celebrity wing of the HOF.

I'm surprised he's not in it already.

Yet another year Cindi Lauper got shafted.

Agree. Rock's new entrance was pretty cool. Making him heel has really not worked all that way because people are still cheering for him. The Cody slap effect really has faded away already.

That is why I am in agreement that Roman needs to turn on Rock one night one to turn Rock back to face, more heat on Roman, and make the Cody victory mean more of beating the guy with the most heat in WWE.

At this point I don't think Bray is getting in this year.

I still think it's going to turn out Rock and Roman lose night one. Then night two Roman is seen backstage telling Solo and Jimmy to make sure they do what they need to do. Roman says he never promised there would be no bloodline involved and that was the Rock and he never got his tribal chief to agree to it. Rock is seen over hearing this and comes out during match and takes out Jimmy and Solo. Roman screams at him what is he doing and Rock says he gave his word of no bloodline. Roman goes to hit Rock and Rock hits the Rock Bottom on Roman. Cody then picks up Roman hits CrossRhoades for the pin.

This could be a likely scenario.

Just watched and agreed. Surprised how much 'new' footage they had from his 2014 doc they did on the Network that they didn't use that was new for this. Thought it'd be a lot of the same.

Mildly surprised they didn't have much of Nash on it, though. (Perhaps too difficult for him to give much to it)

Sounds like a lot of problems was from early in life killing the guy and never being able to mentally get over it.

It was touched on in the network doc but from the A&E one I think it gave a more clear picture just how deep rooted it always was. Also his troubles with COVID and a clear relapse that he never seemed to get out of seemed like news to me. It was a tough watch and really just makes you feel for the guy.

I like the sound of this but if Rock turns on Roman then I hope he just keeps the Bloodline out of the match and doesn't interfere himself. Cody should win clean. I would also expect the Bloodline to cost Seth his title in this scenario.

[bradjames12]

Cody has to win clean otherwise this "finish the story" will be nothing but a massive waste of time IMO

If I’m reading correctly it looks like the suit is claiming that the execs knew Grant was being given BS jobs because of her relationship with Vince, not that they knew she was a trafficking victim. You could argue that they probably knew what was going on but that’s hard to prove.

[packman80]

Still seems like they are going to have Awesome Truth win the tag 6 pack challenge at WM. Truth will be the one to grab the titles to get big pop from the crowd.

[Tblades_17]

Six pack challenge, they finally split the belts, by two team grabbing at same time.

[cdub6238]

Monday night Raw...

3 hours...

Becky vs Liv....followed by 2 women's tag matches...followed by a Priest squash of R Truth..

Main event gauntlet started with 44 minutes left; Ricochet/JD goes 13 minutes...Ricochet is then squashed in 2 minutes by Reed...Sami gets the win over Reed in 7 minutes...Sami gets the win over Nak in 7 minutes...and Sami gets the win over Gable in 13 minutes

Yikes...

Trish/Liv was good outside of the suicide dive botch...and Rixoxjet/Jd solid....Gable/Sami was best match easily

Rest was bunch of fluff and blah blah promos..

[scfa1975]

I got to say I would have preferred Gable getting that win over Sami. If it happens I cant take Sami beating Gunther seriously. Gable has the size and strength and the story line to do it. Seems kind of stupid now.

And on another note with Alpha Academy....what was the point of the Candice LaRae spot basically calling Dupri a loser. That made absolute zero sense

You would buy Gable but not Sami???

I don't actually particularly care. I think Gunther wins anyway, but Gable has been doing basically nothing for months and definitely isn't the caliber of opponent Zayn is.

Liked Cody's promo and Jey's promo. Both filled with emotion and quick and to the point.

The Drew/Seth dynamic is weird. Seems like Drew is just a placeholder to win and wait till Punk comes back, but Rollins is giving very little to the feud and Drew is basically doing it solo.

[stanmarsh]

People are saying Chad Gable's shoulders weren't on the mat.

She's been getting a lot of heat on Twitter for having no in-ring talent, so I guess Trips decided to turn that into a story.
