All Things Wrestling III

[Samuel.]

The E:60 Behind the Curtains episode was great btw, idk if anybody saw it, aired like a month ago?

http://watchwrestling.cc/watch-e60-pictures-wwe-behind-the-curtain/

Would deffo recommend. Good insight to how NXT works.

[BBfanUSA]

Me too, an excellent doc.

A lot of footage is from a year ago. Since it covers Rose's debut on NXT, Woods on Raw.

There's also a couple deleted bits with the creation of Breeze and a bit on Big Cass.

[Jemal]

Really do hope Dean wins, impossible tho

[Iceman]

I'd mark the **** out if he won.

Breaking News: the stone cold podcast will return with

paul ****ing heyman

Amazing

[Samuel.]

Rollins4lyfe

[BBfanUSA]

Oh my god, Axel has finally gone all Hogan on US.

[Iceman]

Samuel. No!!!!!

Have we many watching tonight.

[BBfanUSA]

I am.

Shocked that the Ascension won.

[Samuel.]

They really trying to bury Sandow or what

[Iceman]

I missed the pre show. :(

[BBfanUSA]

The Promos have been good recently.

[Samuel.]

http://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/369ka1/rusev_winning_tonight/

Interesting theory

But
Cena wins

[Iceman]

I read that a few times today. Makes sense.

[Jemal]

:joker: at the first reply of that link

[Iceman]

**** that cut looks nasty

[Jemal]

Pls pls wwe shock us and make ambrose win.
The arena will explode

[Samuel.]

Definitely done by Sheamus on purpose, he got busted open by Dolph couple weeks back

[BBfanUSA]

**** that cut looks nasty

How he get that? Did anyone catch it?

[Jemal]

How he get that? Did anyone catch it?

Headbutt

[Samuel.]

Headbutt

Nah, saw blood on Sheamus' chest before that

[Jemal]

Nah, saw blood on Sheamus' chest before that

Oo daum.


ITS A NEW DAY!

[BBfanUSA]

Zayn said that he will be working Takeover Unstoppable by the way.

Remember this match is a 2 out of 3 falls match. So expect a really doozy.

[Jemal]

These guys are hilarious.

They have so much heat atm

[Iceman]

I watched it back and it looked like it was from the head but. Dolph grabbed his head straight after.

[Samuel.]

Cesaro is always so impressive

[Jemal]

I hope a four way ladder/tlc match gets made in the future.
Usos Vs Kidd and cesaro vs New Day vs Reunited wyatts.

[Iceman]

I wish they pushed cesaro.

[Samuel.]

Both these teams are awesome

Really good match so far

[BBfanUSA]

Xavier Woods.

I think Cesaro is legitimately hurt.

[Jemal]

Kidds so talented tho

[Jemal]

Who do you guys think will be in the elimination chamber?

[BBfanUSA]

Seriously, I hope Kidsaro wins just so we'd have an excuse to have the first ever WWE Iron Man Tag Match.

[Jemal]

Cesaro is a eurostar train.

[Jemal]

Kidd is so underrated.
Its a shame he will never be a main event star

[Jemal]

Superb!!!!

[Iceman]

Great ending.

[Samuel.]

Jesus that might have been the greatest tag match I've ever seen

[BBfanUSA]

YAY! More Kidsaro vs New Day.

[Jemal]

Jesus that might have been the greatest tag match I've ever seen

Usos vs Sheild >
Usos vs Wyatts >

Still good tho

[BBfanUSA]

By the way the attack by Bray on Ryback you just saw was on SD.

Spent a bunch of minutes getting checked out by the medics and then won a match

[Jemal]

Can you imagine I only found out 2 weeks ago Bo dallas is Wyatts brother

[Jemal]

What do the crowd use their phones?
Or do wwe provide the lights

[BBfanUSA]

What do the crowd use their phones?
Or do wwe provide the lights

Crowd use their own phones. Sometimes prompted by the titanitron

[Jemal]

Cool

[Samuel.]

This feud feels so thrown together last minute

[Iceman]

Ryback flying.

[Jemal]

Deec match. Deserved a better crowd reaction.

[Jemal]

Ambrose if he doesn't win tonight will win MITB in his hometown.
I HOPE.

[Iceman]

Where does rusev go after tonight if he doesn't win

[Samuel.]

King Barrett for MITB

[Iceman]

Ambrose for mitb would be great

[Jemal]

I just can't like cena lol.
They potray him as this big underdog when he is fav to win every match he is in :joker:

[Samuel.]

RAW Cena >>> PPV Cena

[Jemal]

John cena sucksssss

[Samuel.]

Can't deny he's a great US Champ

[Jemal]

For giving open challenges? sure.

Hopefully in the next one, Y2J comes out.

[Samuel.]

+ making it mean something

[Samuel.]

Y2J challenging would be :worship:

[Jemal]

Tbfh anyone can make it mean something.
Depends how your booked.

And stuff like that piss me off. We all know he won't quit like that :joker:

[Jemal]

That link that you sent samuel. It could actually play out like that.

[Samuel.]

Only way they would allow Cena to lose

Cena said he wouldn't have a rematch though, and surely they'd want to keep the open challenge

[Jemal]

Screaming at the american fans in the fromt row clapping at the russian flag

[Samuel.]

lul

[Jemal]

Botch?

[Samuel.]

Table botches actually make me nervous

Like what if the table never breaks :worry:

[Jemal]

Rip rusev?

[Jemal]

Nvm. Rip cena

[Iceman]

Great spotfest

[Samuel.]

Surprisingly good match tbh

[Jemal]

Great spotfest
More this

Surprisingly good match tbh

Than this tbh

[BBfanUSA]

Great Spots, but Somewhat dull match

[Jemal]

Eithout the spots I think it would be abit stale

[Jemal]

God michael cole shut up.

[Jemal]

What a **** ending.
My jesus wwe.

[BBfanUSA]

well predicted ending right there.

[Samuel.]

smh

Retract my statement

[BBfanUSA]

Hopefully Paige comes back next.

I think Divas, Neville/Barrett, and ME are left.

[Jemal]

Great match.

[Samuel.]

Paige pls

[Iceman]

Wade Barrett is one ugly bloke.

[Samuel.]

Neville's rise been very impressive considering he's yet to even speak on the mic

[Iceman]

Yeah I'm hoping when Devitt debuts he gets pushed like this

[Iceman]

**** ending

[Samuel.]

Really saved their worst match for the PPV

[Iceman]

So is it just the main event?

[Jemal]

Come on dean.

[Samuel.]

Neville injured? :worry:

[Iceman]

I swear I'll be ecstatic if dean wins. I don't see a change happening though.

[Samuel.]

Just no Kane interference pls

[Iceman]

Classic

[Black Dagger]

Strong PPV. Lol at the fact the work rate will be higher than what Unstoppable produces

[Samuel.]

Seth + HHH celebrating :flutter:

Will need as avi

[BBfanUSA]

Ryback got X'eD, did anyone catch that?

Great PPV, 8/10. Raw should be good tomorrow. Hopefully either they drop the Kane angle or cement his face turn.

And here for more on the Tag Team EC match.

[Samuel.]

http://i.imgur.com/clgyX5o.jpg

[BBfanUSA]

Elimination Chamber News.

IC Title EC match will include Ziggler, Rusev, R-Truth, Sheamus, Ryback, and Barrett

Tag Team Title Match will include New Day (C), Kidsaro, Prime Time Players, Matadores, Lucha Dragons, and Ascension

Kevin Owens (Yes, Owens) will take on John Cena at EC

WWE WHC
Seth Rollins (C) vs Dean Ambrose

[Samuel.]

Owens is actually going to beat Cena

There'd be no reason for it not to be for the US Title, and they've justified it well by having him disrespect the belt. Plus they're not going to undermine NXT like that.

Beating Cena on your debut at a PPV D:

[BBfanUSA]

I bet like Zayn, Owens wins by TKO.

Cena loses US title shortly after.

[BBfanUSA]

Takeover Unstoppable,

Zayn will be wrestling
Itami will not be wrestling

Who's watching?

[BBfanUSA]

Spoiler
Samoa Joe

[Liam-]

oh my god, i marked out so hard at Joe i didn't expect that in a million years.

That whole show was incredible, those women should be working the main roster for a start, Balor is incredible and Owens is just the man, full stop.

[BBfanUSA]

You know what? I'm fine with a Female version of the Nexus now after that Banks/Lynch match. So many limbs were hyperextended in that match, I think I tore something just by watching

But it can't include Paige mainly because it needs to be believable if the female Nexus loses. Let's not have them lose to a team led by the Bellas.

Hell I wouldn't mind if they debuted at the Elimination Chamber

[Ramsay]

Thankfully didn't read any spoilers and jumped straight into the show
Marked out hard
for Joe
HHH has got it

[BBfanUSA]

Now Owens has Zayn, Cena, and Joe after him, Balor to a certain degree given that Balor is #1 contender again

Seriously if Joe comes out at EC...are we getting Cena vs Joe vs Owens at Summerslam? Would be nice to do it in front of a hot crowd

[michael21]

is Elimination Chamber on sky

the chap is here

I like slutee lana

I might go to usa and jump from the crow and do the open challenges :laugh:

[BBfanUSA]

Elimination Chamber is Network only.

[BBfanUSA]

Word is that Kevin Owens is backstage again tonight for Raw, which is in Long Island (A NYC Neighbourhood, should be a hot crowd), NY so expect a hot crowd tonight.

Cast of Entourage is hosting as well. Jeremy Piven is not among them sadly soooo no one can give him crap about Superslam.

Also Becky Lynch's Takeover Entrance with Edge's Theme works too well

Nice shirt

[BBfanUSA]

Elimination Chamber about to start,

Preshow ended with an odd coversation between Ambrose and Reigns, Maybe Reigns is turning tonight?

Also Rusev has been scratched from the IC match officially and will be replaced by a former "World Champion"

[BBfanUSA]

Prime Time Players almost did it. :(

[BBfanUSA]

OWENS WINS!

That Superplex reversal was insane.

[Samuel.]

That was ****ing awesome

[BBfanUSA]

WHAT THE HELL!?!?

Dean wins the title!

[BBfanUSA]

Never mind he won by DQ.

Rollins is still champ

[Jemal]

I literally marked out. But once i saw the refs having a discussion I then said "oh nvm"

[Ramsay]

Dat Owens doe

[Jemal]

Love that. but we will never see cena take a loss without getting it back.

[Samuel.]

They really doing all they can to make Seth look weak.

Was hoping they'd go for the more Triple H/Evolution route with Seth, especially handing the pedigree to him. As in, looking cowardly as hell hiding behind his team to protect the title with interferences etc, but still looking powerful and capable of defending it on his own.

Seth has now cleanly lost (basically anyway) to Ambrose twice in a month, a guy who they only let win at a PPV like a month ago. I like Ambrose, but having not built him up to be this WWE title contender, it results in Seth looking weak more than anything. There's a difference between weak and cowardly, and they've made Seth look both.

#ProtectSeth


Oh, and the Owens/Cena match was incredible. Lost my **** and couldn't even concentrate on the following matches because of it.

[BBfanUSA]

Love that. but we will never see cena take a loss without getting it back.

Actually I don't know....maybe for Round 2 we'll have Joe interrupt the match midway through

[BBfanUSA]

Raw is on right now,

Big show is feuding with Ryback
Paige and Nikki will have a title match tonight

[Samuel.]

[Calderyon]

^ Memories of AJ. Except Nikki has a bigger butt.

[Calderyon]

Dolph Ziggler rumored to leave WWE soon (few months):

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2015/0620/596439/rumor-on-dolph-ziggler-possibly-leaving-wwe-soon/

Sandow, Cody, Cesaro and Ryder to follow?

[Liam-]

I can't say I'd miss him tbh, he's a good wrestler, I just can't get behind him, same with Bryan and I'm surprised Ryder is still there, what exactly is in his contract?

[Black Dagger]

Ziggler can ****ing do one.

[Calderyon]

I think eventually Cesaro might follow him. I don´t know about Sandow, he seem like a company man and will do whatever they ask him to, even though they seem to dislike him for reasons unknown.

I have not seen Sandow on TV for a while, is his time near too? (get released)

[Iceman]

The main person I'd miss there is Cody.

You could also add Barett, Goldust, miz and a few more to the goodbye list. They've all passed their prime or never got going.

[Calderyon]

Cody won´t go for a while, especially now that Dusty has passed.

As cruel as it sounds, at this time he might be closer to a monster push than he has ever been in his whole career in WWE due to recent happenings.

[Denver]

They will all pop up in TNA within weeks of leaving anyhow

[Iceman]

They will all pop up in TNA within weeks of leaving anyhow
I highly doubt it. They seem to be losing talent daily. Then there's the uncertainty of TV and pay.

[Iceman]

Cody won´t go for a while, especially now that Dusty has passed.

As cruel as it sounds, at this time he might be closer to a monster push than he has ever been in his whole career in WWE due to recent happenings.
Yeah I was thinking this myself.

[Calderyon]

They will all pop up in TNA within weeks of leaving anyhow

Nah, i don´t think they will go to TNA. I think Lucha Underground, AAA, New Japan or even ROH are more viable options to them than the sinking ship. GFW... well time will tell.

[Iceman]

That global force wrestling has some serious talent.

[BBfanUSA]

GFW is doing a house show here in my state by the way in September but it's 2 hrs away. I'm kinda going to be pissed off if Young Bucks are on the card. Because I have a feeling I won't be able to go

The E has always had a decent relationship with The Rhodes family so I don't think we'll see Cody leave anytime soon (Golddust is a maybe because of Age). Besides, Cody is married to SD Ring announcer Eden.

[michael21]

paige can pin me

[Samuel.]

Currently going through RAWs and PPVs from 2014 to see what I've missed (up to just before WM30), and the biggest thing I'm noticing is how amazing Bray Wyatt was. Never really understood the hype before, and that tells you how much damage they've done to that character.

They really could have had their Undertaker for a new generation.

[Iceman]

Yeah I don't know if you've been watching lately so I won't say anything in case I ruin it.

Also the rock returned last night at a house show.

[Ramsay]

The booking for Wyatt completely ruined him, it's a shame and at this stage we will always look back and wonder "what if?"

[Samuel.]

Still yet to watch this weeks RAW, but I did like how messed up Bray holding the photo of Reigns daughter was the week before, guessing it's a continuation of that? Though feuding with Roman will only end badly...

[Iceman]

I would have loved a Bray v Taker feud 10 -12 years ago. It would have had some build up.

[Ramsay]

A shame Taker squashed him at Mania. Wyatt single handedly carried their fued in the buildup. I was rooting for him and i still do because he has soooo much potential. But hey, he's only 28 so he's still young! A face turn to go against the MACHINE could make or break him.

[Iceman]

I think it was basically cause he got injured the day of mania though

[Samuel.]

Yeah he's got time on his side for sure, it's fixable.

Just thinking back to when Roman had to beat 3 guys in a row to secure his MITB position, and having already fought twice that night he still beat Bray even with Authority interfering... like wtf are they doing

Bray's in a position where he's trusted enough to be feuding with the top guys, but not enough to actually beat them. He'd be better off feuding with some lower card guys and going on a streak of his own until they're finally ready to have him go over someone reputable.

[michael21]

did you all see tna ppv live and free and add free


it was the best in a long time

[Samuel.]

I strongly recommend Swerved to anybody with the Network. It's so so good.

[Black Dagger]

The old lady this week <3

[Samuel.]

Kane getting harassed by her >>>

Ziggler's been great on it both episodes

[BBfanUSA]

I haven't seen Ep 2 yet since I don't have the network anymore since I don't have the time for it. Episode 1 was pretty great

[BBfanUSA]

Stone Cold Steve Austin is on the cover for 2k16 :(

feed me more

it is dinner time after all

j and j car got scrap in supplex city :laugh:

[BBfanUSA]

Two callups could be happening this week according to PWInsider.com

Charlotte and Sasha Banks,

They're both supposedly backstage for Monday and Tuesday TV Tapings

[BBfanUSA]

The greatest thing ever for today

And you can't teach that

https://instagram.com/p/5C7FsDLXgh/

[BBfanUSA]

For those watching Battleground tonight,

They scratched the Intercontinental Championship Match due to Ryback having a Staph Infection on his knee on Monday.

Meaning There are only 6 matches set for Battleground.

Word is that they're planning on adding Cesaro vs Rusev and Stardust vs Neville to the card.

Sasha Banks, Charlotte, and Becky Lynch are in St. Louis for the show tonight as well, so expect a segment to capitalize on Monday

[Iceman]

I'll be watching and posting I think

[Samuel.]

Ambrose went from main eventing one PPV to not even being on the next

When Rollins ends Brock's career too :smug:

[BBfanUSA]

I'll be watching and posting I think

I've been busy recently so I had to even cancel my network subscription.

Damn work has been booking me for Night shifts.

[Iceman]

I've been busy recently so I had to even cancel my network subscription.

Damn work has been booking me for Night shifts.

I haven't got the subscription anymore but I might stream it. You be posting tonight or you working??

[BBfanUSA]

I haven't got the subscription anymore but I might stream it. You be posting tonight or you working??

Working,

So I'll probably be looking at twitter after for the results I've heard some interesting rumors about tonight that'll set up the road to summerslam

[Iceman]

Yeah I read them too. Hopefully it's true. I'll throw results on here as they happen anyway.

[Calderyon]

Should we do the PPV thingy too?

[Iceman]

Oh yeah I keep meaning to do that

[BBfanUSA]

I just remembered to update it.

It's been forever since we had a PPV because of having Payback-EC-MitB almost back to back

[Iceman]

So eh the divas match got more time than the main event. And it ended 15 minutes early. Not quite sure what happened there

[Liam-]

Oh my god

The best PPV there's been for a while :love:

[Samuel.]

Yeah I agree. Solid throughout.

Looking forward to Seth's gloating tonight :smug:

[Liam-]

I marked out so hard at the ending, I gasped so hard I actually couldn't breath for a while.

The divas match was the first divas match for a long, long time that I haven't skipped through, I'm so here for the revolution

[BBfanUSA]

I could only watch twitter but I smiled when Taker showed up.

Shame Owens tapped out but he got AA'ed 3 times, etc, etc.

Read that the Divas match (that should've been on the card in the first place) was basically Charlotte vs Sasha with a cameo by Brie.

Hopefully tonight, Paige gets a title shot against Nikki

[Calderyon]

On DS they (well, some of them) absolutely hated the ending of Battleground. Not sure why.

The PPV was fine. Wanted the main event to be longer, but other than that, it was a good one.

[Calderyon]

And Owens is apparently demoted from the main event scene. Upper mid card apparently.

[Samuel.]

Demoted? He hasn't been in a main event yet?

[BBfanUSA]

And Owens is apparently demoted from the main event scene. Upper mid card apparently.

I just watched Smackdown yesterday,

at the end of Rollins/Cesaro (Where Rollins acted more like a cheating heel than a chickens**t) which was the main event. Owens came out after Rollins won and powerbombed Cesaro.

Are you sure Owens is getting thrown way down the card?

Looking likely that Summerslam will be this

WM 30 Rematch
Undertaker vs Lesnar (W/ Paul Heyman)

Singles Match
Kevin Owens vs Cesaro

Title vs Title (Bar Cena dropping the US title in an open challenge next week)
John Cena (US Champ) vs Seth Rollins (WWE World Heavyweight Champion)

Tag Team Match
Luke Harper and Bray Wyatt vs Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns

Divas Trios Triple Threat Match (I want to see the title on the line in this one just to make things a bit interesting, a great way to test allegiances)
Team B.A.D (Sasha Banks, Naomi, Tamina Snuka) vs Team Bella (Nikki and Brie Bella, Alicia) vs Team Paige/Powerbuff Girls (Charlotte, Paige, Becky Lynch)

Probably 3 on 2 tag team match for the Tag Team Championship
The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) vs Prime Time Players (Titus O' Neil and Darren Young)

[Calderyon]

Sandow getting a new gimmick:

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2015/0802/598997/update-on-new-gimmicks-for-several-wwe-talents/

:facepalm:

[Samuel.]

Ffs :laugh:

I'm excited for new gimmicks though, Adam Rose's new one sounds potentially not terrible

[Black Dagger]

Sandow could have the worst possible gimmick in the world and he'd still make it work.

[Calderyon]

Sandow could have the worst possible gimmick in the world and he'd still make it work.

He probably will, but i don´t think they (Vince, HHH, Steph, Dunn etc...) care.
At this point he is probably just one of their puppets, who they just love to screw with.

Probably never going to get a IC, US or WWE title shot.

Most likely he is going to be released and end up on NJPW, ROH or GFW, where he probably will win at least one World title.

[BBfanUSA]

So, while Team SAWFT did lose on NXT this week,

They've started to work house shows and Smackdown Dark Matches.

If Vince screws this up...

[Black Dagger]

Ascension (who were ****ing atrocious regardless) and the Dragons have hardly set the world alight. So I wouldn't hold my breathe. Besides they need more work in the ring. Keep them in development for another 6 months.

[BBfanUSA]

I agree with you on that regard with their ring work but the promo work for them is pretty good.

Especially Carmella unless they plan on using Blue Pants on the main roster

Much rather have team BAM (Blake and Murphy) called up. Alexa Bliss (Most Improved Wrestler in 2015 imo with the heel turn) in tow as well since I think she can keep up with Banks, Paige, Lynch, and Charlotte (Really think that Bayley is winning the NXT title at Takeover Brooklyn, Alexa would be a great person to lose the title to, I could see Alexa holding onto the title for a while before getting called up)

[Black Dagger]

Oh pls no. Blue Pants is awful enough on NXT.

[Liam-]

Sandow could have the worst possible gimmick in the world and he'd still make it work.

Hello Mizdow

[Calderyon]

Mizdow was a bad gimmick, but he made it his own and gained crowd support with huge help from Miz too. Both of them did good, but the end result was an embarrassment.

I don´t know, it´s almost like they hate him for some reason.

[Iceman]

What even is a miz??

[Calderyon]

Swerved might be cancelled:
http://uproxx.com/prowrestling/2015/07/swerved-canceled-wwe-network/

[BBfanUSA]

Update:

Four NXT Signees have gotten new names

Uhaa Nation is now Apollo Crews and will be on the Takeover Card
Jessie McKay is now Billie Kay
KC Cassidy is now Peyton Royce
Lina Fanene (Anoa'i Family Member, Rock's Cousin) is now Nia Jax

Looks like most female signees are getting both a first and last name from now on. Wonder if they'll retcon names for Paige and Emma then?

[Jordan.]

Going to the Manchester Raw in November :clap1:

[BBfanUSA]

Going to the Manchester Raw in November :clap1:

Enjoy it,

I went to Raw in March just before WM and I had a blast. Surprised by how many smarks were there.
I think there were more Owens and Balor fans than Cena fans

[Jordan.]

Thanks :D I've been to two house shows when they were over here last year but this'll be my first Raw

[Samuel.]

Going to the Manchester Raw in November :clap1:

I'm planning to go too, still need to buy tickets...

[Liam-]

They never have Raw in Cardiff otherwise I'd there, I've been to a few house shows, I remember seeing Benoit in action here once, great times.

[BBfanUSA]

There's a house show in my state next week but I'm not driving 200 miles for it.

I might go to a Global Force Wrestling Grand Slam Tour but it will depend on the card and other things. There's 3 in my state on B2B2B Nights

[michael21]

Good to see arrow jumping in to the ring

Wade did not no who he was

[BBfanUSA]

Oh yeah, Some additional stuff for when you go to Raw

The arena isn't technically full, they tarp off a section so the hard cameras can be set up and used. They also tarped off the upper deck section that was behind the Wrestlemania Sign as well for me but it shouldn't be like that since they put the logo up starting in January

for Backstage segments, they dim the lights unless they want the shot of the crowd watching the segment. It's pretty dark in the arena

Any match card graphics they put on the titanitron (for the next PPV or later in the night), the reactions are real for that.

During commercial breaks they usually air either the inset promo (Where they show the wrestler making their entrance in one window and they're cutting a promo in a room on another) or WWE centric ads. Like for the Network or action figures or the such.

Before the show starts, the stage is usually completely off, not a single LED light is on. For me they aired a WM30 Vignette (Basically a giant recap from Bryan to the Streak) but then after a guy comes on and reminds everyone to not use a video camera or laser pens during the show, we reserve the right to remove you from the arena, etc. Then they introduce the ring announcer, Lillian Garcia (Who has her own theme and titanitron), who welcomes everyone to the WWE Taping.

She warms the crowd up and welcomes the commentary team for Superstars (For me it was Bryon Saxton and Rich Brennan, they both came out at the same time to the NXT Theme). They then start the Superstars title sequence and get on with the first match, after the first match, Lillian says we're doing a live shot for the USA network, you do that and then do the second match, once that's over, the ring crew comes out and changes the tarp over to Raw and Lillian introduces the Raw commentary team 1 by 1. Cole, Booker, and JBL. Then from there, Lillian just gives updates on when Raw will start.

Then the show starts.

I'm sorry that I posted that if it was a bit unnecessary, but I wanted to let you know what to expect during the show.

Raw is much better without hearing commentary by the way.

EDIT: PS Figure out where you're sitting, I was on the TV side in the seats but I was just high enough that I wasn't on TV the whole time sadly. If you think you're sitting by where Reigns walks down the stairs, keep note of who you're sitting by because when he does make his entrance, people might crawl over you to get a look at him. Like what happened to me since I was close enough to him. Seriously some little brat almost pushed me into the next row. I couldn't get a pic of him because of it.

[BBfanUSA]

Summerslam Go Home Raw, Lesnar and Undertaker will show up,

It will be broadcasted from the Target Center in Minneapolis, MN.

Anyone got a link to Summerslam where it can be viewed gratis?

[Liam-]

Some great matches last night, but overall, Takeover was miles better in terms of atmosphere and in general.

[Calderyon]

Summerslam was good overall.

Didn´t watch the Takerover Saturday, but then again i have not yet watched any of the NXT specials or the show around 2-3 years.

Just watch this past week's Takeover. First time NXT is done in an arena, not a single match on the card disappoints.

[Black Dagger]

Some really baffling endings but an overall good show.

And NEW DAY NEW CHAMPS <3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

[BBfanUSA]

Hopefully Nikki ends up dropping the title to PCB tonight.

I will get to watch it live, first time in months

[Calderyon]

^ I doubt they will let her lose it before she surpasses AJ´s record. She will probably lose it the day after that. (breaking AJ´s record)

Word is that she was supposed to lose shortly after the Divas Revolution started and with Charlotte winning it, but then Cena went to Vince on her behalf and plans got changed...

[Ramsay]

That spot of Taker and Lesnar both laughing was great :clap1:
Stupid ending, very confusing all together. so lesnar won?

[Liam-]

Taker won, the ref didn't call for the bell the first time so carried it on I think, apart from the whole middle finger schtick before passing out, the ending was awful

[Samuel.]

Nobody really won. Or more that it just doesn't matter, it's just a set up for WM32. Which really sucks if they're making this point about SummerSlam being the second biggest show of the year, yet have it's big moment be just serving for WM. I understand the ending, but having it end such a big PPV was an awful decision.

The match itself was way better this time around though.

And Seth Rollins winning was beautiful. MOTN.

Oh, and New Day singing >>>>

[BBfanUSA]

Yep, the ref didn't see Taker tapping (which was only the second time, Angle was the first in a contender's match in 2002) the timekeeper did via the titanitron and rang the bell while the ref was counting the cover.

[LaLaLand]

I only really enjoyed the tag match last night. New Day >>>

Takeover was 100x better, I was hooked all night whereas last night I could feel myself slipping in and out of caring.

Thought the Diva match could have been miles better, Brie botched the dropkick before the ending so Becky had to quickly improv and Brie even botched Becky's finisher suplex... Just go home twins.

Clever but confusing ending to Taker/Lesnar and someone needs to give Jon Stewart a lesson in storytelling.

[BBfanUSA]

Bo Dallas always puts a smile on my face

[BBfanUSA]

THE DUDLEYS!!!!! Get the tables!

[Ramsay]

I turned off for 5 mins after New Day entrance and i miss the dudleyz :(

Xavier was playing the funeral song and all of the sudden I thought Neville and Amell were coming out (since it was originally Purple)

[LaLaLand]

YES Braun Stowman new member of Wyatts!!

[Ramsay]

Ahaha

my balls literally dropped for the image of sting with the title not gonna lie

[Liam-]

What's up with Raw being better than Summerslam though

I lost my **** at The Dudley's returning, I was eating a pringle and nearly choked to death.
Jon Stuart is hilarious, I want him to stick around for a while.
STING, I literally thought it would either be Cena in that box thingy or the statue would be destroyed, never saw Sting coming in a million years, I screamed like a little bitch.

I am so here for the way this is going, this is the best the company has been for a while.

Also, New Day are growing on me, Xavier Woods >>>>

[Iceman]

TESTIFY!!!!!!!

[Liam-]

I'm sorry, but The New Day are my new favourite things in wrestling right now

z9aoTLldUIc

They're incredible :laugh2:

[Samuel.]

Hahaha :worship:

They've been best since WM. Always entertaining.

[BBfanUSA]

Dudleys have a full time contract, it includes SDs and House Shows.

I'm guessing it'll run up to WM or something like that. Wonder if they'll have someone be either their Stacy or Spike? I don't think there's someone on the roster that went to their academy

Also The New Day were not told that the Dudleys were back until their theme hit. (I am assuming that they were told that their new challengers would show up at the end of the segment though)

[BBfanUSA]

Raw could be cancelled next Monday like the one after the Royal Rumble due to Tropical Storm Erika hitting FL where both Raw and SD will be.

No idea what will happen in it's place. Maybe they'll do the show with an empty arena if there's a hotel nearby. Maybe they'll show some SSlam matches (Prefer Takeover Brooklyn, great way to advertise the network).

[BBfanUSA]

Erika is disappaiting so it seems that Raw and SD will go on as planned.

Sting will open it and apparantly, Paige, Charlotte, and Becky will be having a Beat the Clock Challenge to decide the #1 Contender to the Divas Championship at NOC.

[Jordan.]

If this bitch doesn't get released :umm2:

The hoe already half responsible for splitting up Seth and his fiancee

[Jordan.]

She's been exposed for having Nazi images on her instagram too

[Liam-]

Who even is she? I know she was the girl Seth sent nudes to and stuff, but other than that I have no idea

[Jordan.]

She's in NXT, I don't think she's ever had a match though and likely wont now lol

[Black Dagger]

Urgh what a trampy, embarrassing woman. Cut her ass. It's not like the performance centre has a lack of female talent.

[Liam-]

Oh, she won't be much of a loss then, bye bitch

[BBfanUSA]

She just started working as Solomon Crowe's valet. LOL Bye.

[Liam-]

Is Raw happening tonight?

[Calderyon]

^ Yes, apparently.

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2015/0830/600115/tampa-arena-confirms-status-for-tomorrow-wwe-raw/

[Calderyon]

Sting to open the show:

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2015/0831/600130/news-for-tonight-wwe-raw-sting-return/

[BBfanUSA]

Also they'll be having a Beat the Clock challenge to decide a number 1 contender for the Divas Title.

Paige, Charlotte, and Becky are the only ones in it. I think they did that on purpose to give a reason why Sasha leaves Team B.A.D.

[Calderyon]

^ Because she isn´t being put to the challenge?

[Liam-]

Messy Bram being arrested and sacked from TNA.

[BBfanUSA]

^ Because she isn´t being put to the challenge?

Okay, here's the thing, Nikki has tapped out twice to Sasha in non-title matches meaning she should've had a title shot already.

But since Team B.A.D was the first to be eliminated at SSlam and by Nikki's team no less, that probably cost Sasha the title shot.

Stephanie said that the winner of the match at SSlam would "reap the benefits" so that's why this is for PCB only.

Wouldn't be surprised if Sasha confronts the Authority about that, teasing her leaving Team B.A.D.

Yep, it was for two counts of Domestic Battery, The victim is not Charlotte, apparently they split a while ago

When did those things happen? Sasha getting Nikki to tap? Raw or Smackdown?
