WWE Discussion thread- Raw/SD/PPV

[Newbs]

Great Balls of Fire Predictions:

Big Cass over Enzo - Maybe a squash here?

Bray Wyatt over Seth Rollins - I'm sure I'll be wrong here since they seem to not want to get Wyatt over, but maybe they chagne their minds and get something going for him.

Reigns over Strowman - I don't want it to happen, but I have this feeling they are going into this direction. Or the match ends in a draw somehow, guess that would be hard to do in an ambulance match

Hardyz over SheaCesaro - I read that Sheamus is going to be starting work on another movie, might force them to drop the titles here.

Miz over Ambrose - With the help of Bo and Axel

Alexa over Sasha - Let Alexa keep rolling so they can set up her against Nia

Neville over Tozawa - Aries couldn't get the title in 3 tries, no chance they let Tozawa get it on his 1st attempt, right?

Brock over Joe - I just can't see Brock dropping the title until one of the bigger PPVs. This could be a heck of a match here though


Card looks to be pretty solid as a whole here. Maybe they throw some curveballs at us here. Also, no idea if Truth and Goldust will be happening, if it does, I'll go with Truth.

I'm likely just being incredibly naive here, but I've managed to convince myself that Joe actually has a shot at beating Lesnar. I know it sounds incredibly far fetched that Joe would beat Brock at a complete nothing show like GBoF, but is it any less far fetched than Brock working two PPVs in a row, which he would do if he won?

I mean, I'd be OK with it. Joe is always on TV too, that helps.

Neville beats Tozawa. I can't see Tozawa wining the title on the pre-show. Maybe at Summerslam but not on a pre-show of an okay PPV.

Enzo beats Big Cass. I think this fued goes into Summerslam and Enzo gets a cheap rollup win or something.

The Hardy Boyz beat Sheamus and Cesaro. I have a feeling this leads to a rematch on the Raw after the PPV, Hardys win again and there is a 6-man tag match with The Hardys and Balor against Sheamus, Cesaro and Samson

Seth Rollins beats Bray Wyatt. I honestly don't see any reason why Bray would beat Seth unless they are gonna do a gimmick match at Summerslam. And IF Bray wins, it's controversial as usual.

Bliss beats Banks. I feel like a heel turn for Sasha is happening, maybe setting up Banks vs. Bayley at Summerslam. Thinking Nia vs. Bliss at Summerslam.

Ambrose beats Miz....by DQ. They have been teasing a blow up by Maryse on the Miz and I think Maryse ends up costing Miz the match by slapping him or something. Obviously shenanigans by the Miztourage. Ambrose vs. Miz on the Raw after PPV setting up some sort of ceremony by The Miz for Maryse at Summerslam which leads up to the Miz's new feud...Seth Rollins!!!

Roman beats Braun. I've been tossing this one over and over and I despise that I have to say this but I believe Roman Reigns beats Braun. I think WWE is setting up Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns at Summerslam.

Brock beats Samoa Joe. I think this is the best program Brock has worked since his Suplex City match against Cena at Summerslam. Samoa Joe is a great worker and I'd love to see him as WWE champ but with the Roman/Braun feud coming to an end and Roman essentially not having a decent feud for Summerslam, I see WWE cashing in on the money maker that is Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar for the title. What's next for Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman? Good question and that scares me. I'm worried that if the WWE doesn't have a clear path for those two, they will be wasted in either the mid-card with crappy mid-level matches or just left off the card in general.

I am also predicting the song "Great Balls of Fire" or lyrics from the song being mentioned at least 10 times.

WWE released Austin Aries. I'm going to guess it was a mutual decision.

[Gurds]

Austin Aries has been released

[lilkeithw]

Aries was just released from wwe

[Newbs]

Wow, just saw that Austin Aries got released, wonder if that is why Neville was going over him all the time.

[Wolves4Life]

All WWE has to do IF they want is replace Aries with Black and no one will remember Aries got released.

[rcgdodge]

That sucks. I like A Double.

[LC2nine10]

205 needs something besides Alicia fox ranting every episode. It's fun to watch tho for the most part. Watching people flips always been exciting for me. It's part of the reason I watch lucha underground

I think the obvious answer is that they face each other for the #1 contendership.

EVERYONE here knows i'm a Roman fan but I don't think he wins Sunday. Either guy losing the match won't hurt them cause they are not getting pinned so you can still do whatever you have planned for Summerslam.

.@PWTorch says AA wanted release & attitude was factor. I've heard same saying he's his own worst enemy & release was decided before today. I've read Aries was a problem in ROH and Impact so this isn't a surprise to me.

Just saw that AJ Styles won the US Title from KO at MSG today

They always like to do something special at MSG.

Although the US title isn't exactly prestigious it's a cool moment for AJ and the fans.

Ugh, no. I want Aleister Black on the main roster.

Rare a title changes hands at a live event. Can only remember a couple times before that happening.

I could argue its been more prestigious than the WWE title lately with who's held it and the awful storylines

[natbornkiller]

are there any house show between today and Tuesday?

[Newbs]

Couple of shows in Texas tonight, those are not specified if they are Raw, SD or both. They have a house show tomorrow at the same time as Great Balls of Fire and then on Monday the same time as Raw, so those must be SD only.

[no10pin]

I wonder if something is going on with Owens. They had him drop the belt off TV, and now the PPV match is off.

[Newbs]

I didn't hear about the PPV match being off. That is rather strange if that is the case.
