WWE Discussion thread- Raw/SD/PPV

[Anarchy99]

wow

they completely destroyed whatever Gunther had going for himself after Cena win

he should been positioned in ME picture immediately, even more so after retiring Styles........and then he has a feud with Dragon Lee and then...thats it

OOOOOF

a roster void of big time over Heels and they somehow completely botched it

a Gunther/Roman Reigns feud i guess could still happen for SummerSlam? but that would mean Roman stays a face and somehow they dont go with Bloodline 2.0 at WM42

[duwal]

saw the Uso's talking with Punk on RAW and realized its now been a month exactly since they last defended the tag titles too (Feb 10th, Alpha Academy). There really no one else to challenge them or are they keeping the belts to the side for now to help out the main event guys?

There's no one for them to feud with.

RAW tag teams

Alpha Academy
American Made
Judgement Day (I guess?)
Los Americanos?
LWO (they exist somewhere I guess)
New Day
The Vision (I suppose?)

This is partially why the "Usos are back in the tag division" was never a thing. There is no tag division, the belts are just a prop.

Not a lot of buzz for SD tonight outside of Jelly Roll being on Miz Tv I guess.

[packman80]

has WWE been pushing that Roman will be wrestling in his 6 straight WM main event that he's either main evented either night 1 or 2 since going to both nights? Figure they would want to push him as the only guy to do 6 straight WM main eventing.

[Jericho]

So the Wyatt's vs MFT at Mania in a Lantern on a pole match? This is honestly just so lame week after week

[bjho852]

Will the Wyatts cost MFT the tag team titles against Priest/Truth? When will that match be?

And if Giulia isn't doing anything with the US title, take it off her and put it on someone else. Most if not all of these female US title reigns so far are disasters, and all of them are actually good wrestlers so they are underutilized.

[dbackschamp2001]

Anyone else hoping for Danhausen vs Lesnar at WrestleMania?

[packman80]

Why does Jellyroll come out to Toby Keith and not his own music?

[dbackschamp2001]

The yearly beat the crap out of Cody Rhodes before WrestleMania.

Looks like she'll be facing Tiffany for the title.

Glad to see the heel turn. Otherwise, we'd be getting 4 babyfaces in the two world title matches. In one match, that's ok. Two? No.

[Cracktoast]

THANK YOU ORTON !!!

Can we see a new faction post WM of Alister Black, Randy Orton, Sami Zayn, and Drew McIntyre ?

[bjho852]

B-Fab talking to Cargill in background during the Gargano/MCMG segment...is B-Fab siding with Cargill soon?

The segment was great, but I think Orton will largely be in the same position as Cena last year. People aren't going to want to boo him.

[packman80]

Orton needs to wear the bloodstained RKO everybody t-shirt until WM.

Nor should they and IMO totally different situations. Cena was the goody goody never been heel guy so it felt weird and forced, Orton on the other hand has always been a tweener that can be face or heel depending what the situation calls for. Orton is more Stone Cold than a straight career face like Cena or Sting turning heel out of nowhere. The only person who was able tp pull off the gimmick and make it work was Hogan.

Cody Rhodes and his corporate " It's all about me " sellout gimmick is tired and people just want to see him get hiss beat. The only reason people don't cheer for Sami Zayn is because he's just a read headed version of Cody with a beard.

[Cracktoast]

The only fear I have with Orton turning heel is that they may have done it too soon. Now you have 5 weeks of this thing playing out and risk it becoming stale and taking away from the match at WM because the story has already been told. Orton is mad because it was supposed to be him/McIntyre but Cody couldn't help himself and had to make it all about him and one up Orton by beating McIntyre first.

If it ws me I would have waited until a couple weeks before Mania and have Cody be absent until Mania or even the go home show before Mania to do the turn. The shock and awe of the turn is going to be played out over 5 weeks.

Will they have Zayn turn heel at WM? Have some kind of ref bump he's down Randy about to hit Cody with a chair Zayne runs down takes the chair for Randy. Makes like he is going to hit Randy with it just to throw it down then turns and Helluva Kick's Cody and leaves the ring. Randy then picks up Cody RKO's him 1-2-3 new champion.

[stanmarsh]

Not a big wrestling fan but do read tweets and news but it seems like there's no hype for wm this year. The product was so hot and amazing but it seems like the past 9 months the writers have no idea on what they are doing.

[RedLabelRecords]

No hype at all to this WM. Two nights of this product sounds exhausting.

[Jaypers]

Nothing confirmed yet, but I've read from a couple of sources WWE is already reconsidering holding WM in Saudi next year, due to the current conflict in the Middle East.

^^^^ Read that also but a year is a lifetime away from a scheduling point of view. Typical knee jerk reaction.

How in the world is it a knee jerk reaction? That's a very real thing they should be monitoring.

Like I said a year out is too early to make a decision on to cancel or not IMO. Now come September and the military operation is still ongoing, ok then start looking at backup options. But the most likely scenario is that this thing is done by the end of May or June and it's back to normal operations. What is going on now doesn't make it more or less likely that something could happen. That's always a risk you take because of the part of the world it's in.

There was literally a full blown war going on in Iraq when they did a Tribute To The Troops show without a hitch.
