All Things Wrestling III

[BBfanUSA]

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

Both on Raw, first in a tag match and then in a singles.

Charlotte also got Nikki to tap in a tag match as well on Raw the week Cena broke his nose

[Calderyon]

Oh, i most likely have missed them then. The Sasha/Nikki taps, i mean.

Divas matches, sadly even with the Revolution (which has been at least a mediocre bust), have not done enough to engage my concentration.

I really should watch NXT even for that, since i hear they really invest on them there.

You should,

the last two NXT Women's Title matches at the Takeovers (NXT's PPV essentially) have been top notch.

This day has been juicy hasn't it?

[Liam-]

lmao bye trash

[LaLaLand]

They released her literally 2 days after she "debuted" at a house show as Solomon Crowe's sister...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CNnsnwSWsAAv5DI.jpg

[Calderyon]

^ It has.

Also, i´m not sure this is real, but apparently Ziggler and Lana are dating for real, while Rusev and Lana are not anymore?

Leighla (Seth's Ex) must be laughing :laugh:

[BBfanUSA]

Nah, I think they're for the storyline. They had house shows in FL and PR this weekend.

EDIT: Forgot Hogan apologizing on National TV here too today on GMA.

[LaLaLand]

She's def still with Rusev as far as I'm aware.

[Calderyon]

Rusev is a lucky guy.

[Calderyon]

I wonder if Seth will be punished because of this? (Schreiber incident)

Ie: the Sheamus cash-in happening much earlier than planned?

[BBfanUSA]

I wonder if Seth will be punished because of this? Ie: the cash-in happening much earlier than planned?

Eh, the instagram pics are from a while ago and the pics were just dug up now. I don't think he'll be punished for it.

[Liam-]

Why would Seth be punished for something she did? he's just banging her, not controlling her thoughts :laugh:

[Calderyon]

^ I know, but it´s WWE. And they can be very petty sometimes.

[BBfanUSA]

^ I know, but it´s WWE. And they can be very petty sometimes.

I think Nikki's reign as Divas Champ proves that.

And it keeps getting odder,

Apparently there's been a shooting at the Performance Center
https://twitter.com/WRESTLEZONEcom/status/638419784003006464

[Calderyon]

Also Meltzer said that there would not be a new season of Tough Enough on USA network.
Maybe they will make it a WWE Network Exclusive then?

[Calderyon]

I think Nikki's reign as Divas Champ proves that.

Yeah, tell me about it.

It´s not long anymore before Nikki surpasses AJ´s reign.

Breaking News: Shooting Outside WWE Performance Center; Victim Taken to the Hospital

WESH Orlando News is reporting an unnamed person was hospitalized after a shooting outside the WWE Performance Center in the Azalea Park section of Orlando.

Fire officials are saying the person was hospitalized after suffering a gunshot wound earlier this afternoon. The report says medics were called to the scene at 5055 Forsyth Commerce Road – the address for the WWE Performance Center – around 1:45 p.m.

The patient was taken to the nearby Orlando Regional Medical Center; further details were not immediately available.

A mess. Zahras revenge?

[BBfanUSA]

Word is that it's not related to WWE despite happening outside the performance center.

[Calderyon]

^ Negative according to this.

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2015/0831/600155/why-police-were-called-to-the-wwe-performance-center-earlier/

Yeah I saw that later but I had to go to class.

WWE's not had a great week when it comes to this. A fan tried stabbing Ambrose on his way to the back after a dark segment during the SD taping.

[Tarryn]

John Laurinaitis engaged to the Bella Twins mother :crazy:
I'm sure Nikki will hold the Divas title for the next ten years at this rate :sleep:
That family sure knows how to sleep their way to the top.

[BBfanUSA]

Nikki might defend the title at least once before she passes AJ.

I know this is a SD spoiler but in a backstage promo Charlotte said she sent a petition in to have the NOC Match moved up to before Nikki passes AJ.

I'm sure if Charlotte does beat Nikki that the match at NOC will probably be changed

[Calderyon]

If there is/was a plan for Charlotte to win, it will be changed. Cena will talk to Vince and the plans will be changed and Nikki will at least surpass AJ. He has apparently done it once already.

If Charlotte does win before NOC, she will lose it fairly quickly after that.

[Jordan.]

I hope Nikki retains. It'll make her reign look even less credible if she drops it as soon as the record is broken. Plus Sasha or Naomi deserve the belt before Charlotte.

That has a higher chance of it happening now that John Laurenitis are Bellas soon to be Stepfather.

I agree with you about Charlotte though, I think Paige will probably turn heel on her soon with Paige winning the first bout at HiaC. Hopefully this time around they'll book Paige as more of a Badass heel rather than a psycho chicken**** one

I hope Nikki retains. It'll make her reign look even less credible if she drops it as soon as the record is broken. Plus Sasha or Naomi deserve the belt before Charlotte.

Naomi? Please god no.

[Calderyon]

How high up John Laurinaitis was/is on the WWE totem pole? In your opinion?
(In terms of deciding booking and stuff)


Fifth after Vince, Dunn, HHH and Steph?

[Liam-]

Not Momma Bella using her womanly wiles to get her daughters a further advantage, their brother will be Vince's shoe cleaner by the end of the year.

[Liam-]

Am I the only one who'd prefer to see Becky have a run at the title over the other call ups? I love all of them, but Becky is SO underrated it hurts.

[BBfanUSA]

How high up John Laurinaitis was/is on the WWE totem pole? In your opinion?

Fifth after Vince, Dunn, HHH and Steph?

Probably, he was producing Beast in the East.

Smackdown is decent this week, there's alot of New Day, Bo Dallas has a new finisher, and a new stable forms.

[Jordan.]

Naomi? Please god no.

Why? She's has the skill and a good character. They should have give it to her at Extreme Rules after she took Paige out.

[Calderyon]

Have not watched Smackdown for weeks. Which explains why i have missed so much of the Stardust vs Neville and Steve Amell feud.

[Liam-]

I want Naomi as champion, but only after they change the belt, the divas they got there today don't deserve to be stuck with that **** around their waists, that was meant for the Kelly Kelly's and Layla's, not the Paige's, Charlotte's and Sasha's

[Calderyon]

Article about Damien Sandow, which i agree almost fully:

http://www.wrestledelphia.com/missed-316-a-curious-case-of-damien-sandow/

[BBfanUSA]

Why? She's has the skill and a good character. They should have give it to her at Extreme Rules after she took Paige out.

She works too fast, forcing the other Divas to try and keep up with her. Which can throw everyone off, especially if someone else is calling the shots (Which is usually Paige apparently, if you listen close enough, Paige is usually calling the spots in a multiman match, it's been pointed out many times during Botchamania's Everyone talks too much Segment. I think the only worse offender is Cena.)

I do like her character though

[BBfanUSA]

So the main event of the next Takeover has been announced, keep in mind this is for October 7th.

Sasha Banks vs Bayley in a 30 Minute Ironman Contest for the NXT Women's Championship

[Liam-]

Oh my god :flutter:

[BBfanUSA]

Did anyone watch SD this week? Great show but why did they show the last part from the main event of Raw to fill time?

I wonder if they're going to have anything for Paige vs Sasha at NOC? Because they're thinking of adding either Cesaro vs The Big Show or The Miz vs Cesaro vs Big Show to the card.

[Calderyon]

I have sadly given up on Smackdown due to it being mainly Raw repeats and recycled matches.

[Tarryn]

SD is just the dumping ground for everything they could not fit on Raw.
But yes, sadly I did watch.
The Divas match was okay, plus the Wyatt Family opening the show but other than that :sleep:
Time to get rid of SD & have NXT as it's second mainstream show.
SD is like the Bella twats..............unwatchable.

[Denver]

http://www.inquisitr.com/2410044/wwe-news-wwe-said-to-be-very-interested-in-bringing-back-legendary-wwe-tag-team-the-hardy-boyz/

The Hardy Boyz are looking likely to make a return to WWE

[BBfanUSA]

I'd much rather have just Jeff and some up and comer learning the WWE ropes from him as a tag team (Minus the drugs)

Matt is a big douche sometimes.

I fully expect if he does return bar the Rumble (In Orlando), Wyatt's going to interrupt him or something

[BB4fan]

So they seem to be bringing back some legendary tag teams lately.

I just wish they'd bring Snitsky back though.

[Iceman]

This tag team revolution has started to look great. I agree have Jeff as a mentor like hardcore holly.

[Liam-]

I'd be perched for a Jeff return, I ****ing hate Matt though.

[Iceman]

Lesnar v Jeff could be epic

[BBfanUSA]

None of the Four Horsewoman are on the 2k16 roster which final reveals were today.

Let the butthurt begin. (although I suspect that they're in DLCs, maybe a NXT Showcase could show up.)

Anyway among those announced today were Stunning Steve Austin, Mikey Shipwreck (ECW Guy), ABA Undertaker, Ministry Undertaker, Baron Corbin, Enzo and Cass, Ascension, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley (Retro AE Stephanie, there's a modern Stephanie in the game from SSlam '14)

Kinda weird to have Sgt. Slaughter, Gen. Adnan, etc. in the game and not Banks or Charlotte.

[Calderyon]

I really dislike this Charlotte. Something just doesn´t click.

Also this constant "Woo" and clinging on Flair is seriously annoying.

[Iceman]

I still haven't watched a divas match since mania. I couldn't tell you who the divas are except the bellas and lana. I just cannot be bothered at all. I feel bad though cause you guys love it.

[Calderyon]

^ Not really tbh.

[Iceman]

Oh sorry. I just mean you guys always talk about it and I feel left out. I just cannot get behind any of the divas (no pun intended)

[Calderyon]

After AJ left, i´m not sure i can either. But even she had her annoying side.

Charlotte is unlikable and Paige is annoying. Becky seems to be the most likable of the three.

Tamina is too stoic. Naomi still has too much Funkadactyl in her. Sasha seems to be the most rootable out of these three.

And then there is the Bella´s on which neither of them is likable.

Lana and Summer are sexy.

[Iceman]

I just loved lita and when Chyna was there. The women's division was better back then for me. Ivory, Jacqueline, Jazz, Molly etc.

[Calderyon]

I have watched vintage streams and i agree you on that. It definitely was better then in terms of quality and authenticity.

BBfanUSA says though that on NXT the spirit of that time still kind of exits. In terms of match quality, not the profanity part.

[Iceman]

I started watching in 2000 and went back to the early 90's and caught up from then. I just don't have time to commit to NXT at the moment. Why must I work lol

[Calderyon]

Future WWE WHC right now. (Cena vs Sheamus)

[Jordan.]

Mess at them using the same ending they already did with Paige

[Calderyon]

Now that AJ´s record will be broken, i wonder who and when they will put the "break CM Punk´s record" -plan in action?

I think it will be Cena sadly tbh.

[Tarryn]

It's just pathetic about Nikki's reign as it was so obvious that they/WWE wanted her to just wipe AJ's from the record books.
And of course it had to be one of the Bella Twins to do it.
They have screwed their way to the top of the Divas division & have even been credited with the Divas Revolution. When of course the Divas Revolution was about being anti-Bella.
Cena has massive influence & even if he did not use it to get her the record there will always be that suspicion attached to it.
Let me know when the Bella Twins leave WWE then I can start watching the Divas division again..............

[Calderyon]

^ And from this (Nikki Bella winning), you can easily and safely predict that the next Cena WWE title reign will most likely surpass CM Punk´s.

[Liam-]

The divas division right now is the best it's been since the Mickie/Trish/Lita days (which doesn't say much I know)

Nikki breaking ridiculous and petty though.

[Tarryn]

^ And from this (Nikki Bella winning), you can easily and safely predict that the next Cena WWE title reign will most likely surpass CM Punk´s.

I have to be honest, I tend to fast-forward to any Cena segments on television unless he is up against the likes of Bray Wyatt.
Cena is the most boring wrestler I have ever seen & I have been watching wrestling since the early 90's.
Nikki & Cena TRULY belong together.

[Denver]

I dont understamd why Cena is a fan favourite he is my least favourite wrestler ever

[Ramsay]

Much more tolerable lately it must be said, but yeah. fan favourite for the kiddies, they ****ing love him.

[Black Dagger]

He's my wrestler of the year tbh. He's put on some 4* greats this year.

[BBfanUSA]

He's my wrestler of the year tbh. He's put on some 4* greats this year.

I agree TBH,

But I think Rollins carried that Triple Threat Match at the Rumble (My Match of the year IMO, Sasha vs Bayley is my second)

[Liam-]

I literally skip as much Cena as possible.

I can't stand how they had Sting have his first ever match on Raw, but they just have to go and shoehorn Cena in there for the giggles, awful, is he any closer to retirement yet? :fc:

[Calderyon]

Best gimmick of the past few years. They should never have dropped it.
Truly entertaining. Since he lost to Cena he just got pushed further down.
He needs a valet by his side.

[Calderyon]

He is now the "Voice of Common Sense", a face variation of his gimmick.

Also Adam Rose is now the "Party Pooper". From a rosebud to a lemon.

[Tarryn]

I must be in the minority when I say that I can't stand Sandow or his know it all gimmick, this is going to be torture.

You might grow to love him :shrug:
I hated the Rock at first.
The sad thing is Sandow is a really good wrestler but he is just handed crap segments rather than us see what he can really do.

[Tarryn]

And his own talk show, like Miz has.

He would be so much better than the Miz :dance:
I would love to see the Wyatt family on Sandow's show.

[Calderyon]

You might grow to love him :shrug:

The sad thing is Sandow is a really good wrestler but he is just handed crap segments rather than us see what he can really do.

His match against Cena was great (even if it was one-armed Cena) was only a glimpse of what he can do.

[BBfanUSA]

Nikki Bella's reign is FINALLY OVER!

Owens is the new IC

and Jericho is the mystery partner.

Oh and Lesnar will take on Undertaker inside of a cell at HiaC

[Black Dagger]

YASSSS at the US Open challenge making it's return :worship:

[BBfanUSA]

Raw could be a doozy tonight.

Our two HiaC matches will probably be Taker vs Lesnar and Kane vs Rollins for the title.
Paige didn't look all that happy about Charlotte winning the title, so a heel turn may be coming up tonight.
Open Challenge is back
Jericho as a jerk is back maybe, will probably feud with Ambreigns.
I predict Wyatt Family will start going after the Tag Titles again.
And Owens will be GOAT with the Intercontinental Championship

[Iceman]

Looks like stings career is over. :/

[Liam-]

What actually happened to him? I didn't even notice that anything was wrong until I saw all the officials at the top of the ramp

[Iceman]

WWE.com recently interviewed Sting about the injury he sustained at Night of Champions, and below are some highlights:

Can you set everyone straight on the extent of your injury, as you await further evaluation?

I was out in the hospital — out like a light. They had a neck brace on me, and they were pumping me with [medication] to get me out of pain. I had to do a CT scan and an MRI. They ended up talking to my wife, and I have some details from my wife, but I still have [further evaluation ahead]. They mentioned cervical spinal stenosis, but that’s only part of what I heard. I don’t know if there’s anything else. The doctor did tell my wife, “He’s going to have to get this dealt with. He’s lucky he walked out of there.”

At this point, what’s your prognosis, both short-term and long-term?

Bottom line, I had tingling, numbness down both arms, all the way to my fingertips. And then, later in the match, I just fell wrong, whatever it was, and this time [the tingling and numbness] went down both arms and into my legs, and I couldn’t feel my legs too well. They just felt like rubber. I don’t know how to describe it. I had to go down on all fours there for a minute, get my composure. I was a little … I was worried. Long term, well, I’m just going to take care of the short term first and see how the long term might play out.

Were you aware of exactly when your injury occurred during the match?

Oh, yeah, definitely. Both times into the turnbuckle. First time was like a whiplash. [pause] It’s my fault, bottom line. I know better. The second time, I went up into the air and back toward the turnbuckle like that, I thought, “Well, that’s not going to happen again,” and it did. The second time was worse.

[BBfanUSA]

In the match Sting took a hard table spot where he was shoved into the Spanish table by Rollins from the English table. I think Sting hit his head on one of the TV monitors.

Then later he took a turnbuckle powerbomb and right after he collasped, requiring officials to stall the match so he could checked on by medical officials.

Rollins then won by a clean rollup pin a minute or two later to win the match.

Basically, the way that I see it, is that he wrestled like a 30 year old in a 56 year old man's body.

[Iceman]

I don't ever see him coming back from this. 2 matches and 2 losses. Such a shame. Was hoping for a good build to Mania and a retirement match.

[Black Dagger]

I am in love with Asuka, she's so cute, but looks like she will rip your head off as well <3.

[BBfanUSA]

I love how the spoilers said that she just walked off looking sad but on TV it was

"You have no idea what is about to happen, girls", the look on Regal's face was priceless too.

[BBfanUSA]

Hornswoggle still works for the company appearantly, he violated the wellness policy and has been suspended for 30 days, effective immediately.

[Liam-]

oop, what did he do?

[BBfanUSA]

If I had to take a guess, maybe HGH? (I'm being serious, if it was Cocaine I feel like he'd be busted for it)

[BBfanUSA]

Tyler Breeze is using the Killswitch as a new finisher (He's calling it the Unprettier)

[BBfanUSA]

So a couple big rumors regarding US title

Tyler Breeze is supposed to go into a feud with Cena over it buuuuuut, John Cena is skipping a few Raws and house shows for "personal reasons"

These include Oct 26, Nov 2, Nov 16, and Nov 23.

He's also missing the 10 day Eurotour.

Rumours going around Twitter/articles that Nia Jax is debuting tonight also, possibly taking out Bayley in the Main Event.

Lita now has a job backstage as a writer or ring producer too, she's been on the NXT Takeover Preshow panels as well.

They've done house shows outside of FL in the past year. Tommy Dreamer worked a show in Philly.

(Also The Dudleyz are back too on the main roster side of things. Feuding with a heel stable comprised of Kofi Kingston, Big E, and Xavier Woods called The New Day but yet they're the most over thing right now on the main roster at least)

I hope we'll see an influx of stars from TNA jumping ship, they have some amazing wrestlers over there.

It's such a pity that Roode did not leave a few years ago.
He was an amazing TNA champion both in tag & singles.
I think only he & Eric Young are left now from the originals.
Sad how far TNA have gone down. from around 2005 through 2008 they were more enjoyable than WWE for me.

Didn't turn heel yet but there was an interesting moment in the 3rd ep where he came out with some black ball that he kept in his corner with the title in a match with Dillinger. Some are saying it's a camera according to those that went.

[LaLaLand]

Nia's gear is so ****ing ugly I can't :joker:

I don't even understand it. It's just come out of nowhere. She's always wore black/silver at house shows... then suddenly she comes out looking like a Christmas Tree bauble?! Wut. Was so unflattering too.

[BBfanUSA]

For the third show they had her beat up Kay Lee Ray (Shimmer is recording this weekend, Evie (vs Nia in her first match) and Shazza McKenzie (Vs Emma on the second ep) appear as jobbers as well.) in her house show gear. So I think they saw twitter and decided to change it back.

She's for sure one of those Kong/Havok type wrestler.

[LaLaLand]

She for sure is! Hope they stick with the black. On Twitter someone joked that because of who she faced and defeated, Nia Jax has unknowingly become the Shimmer #1 contender ha.

She had a good response from the crowd which is always a good sign in NXT seeing how Full Sail are now total smarks who don't take kindly to "green".

[BBfanUSA]

Just found out that they released Devin Taylor :(

I was waiting and waiting for Devin to kick Dana's ass for patting her on the head constantly in backstage interviews.

[Liam-]

Oh have they? that's a pity, I really liked her, why'd they release her? just a contract thing I presume

[BBfanUSA]

Oh have they? that's a pity, I really liked her, why'd they release her? just a contract thing I presume

I guess,

They have Dasha Fuentes and Greg Hamilton anyway so it's not like they don't have a backstage interviewer.

Has anyone else read about the rumor that since Paige tapped out on Monday clean to Natalya that she might be in the doghouse?

Meltzer is saying she doesn't have backstage heat.

I'm waiting myself, it does seem odd that she's still losing despite the pipebomb unless the losing streak is leading to her confronting Stephanie over starting the revolution in the first place and getting fired kafaybewise.

I watched this weeks TNA and literally had no ****ing idea what was happening, it's just an unwatchable mess now
I know. It's so sad just how awful TNA has become.
I never used to miss an episode but now I can barely get through the first half hour.
TNA became obsessed a few years back with getting as many ex-WWE stars to sign for them rather than promoting the amazing talent they already had.
As soon as Hogan walked into that company it went down hill.
I'm surprised they are still in business.

[Black Dagger]

All we need now is Kong, Gail and Manik and it'll be amazing.

Kong is 38 and has two herniated disks in her back. It's actually painful seeing her struggle to wrestle these days because I loved her and wish that her run in the E was more than two implant busters and a Rumble appearance. And they never treated Gail right in the two runs she was there so they would never now <\3

[BBfanUSA]

I'm kinda wondering if Storm has like a player/coach thing going on? Regal has wrestled lots of time on NXT before and is at least one of the recruiters/scouts for NXT since he goes to the PWG shows sometimes.

Does anyone remember Sarita from Mexican American? She's the new Women's Trainer since Sara Del Rey got promoted to Head Assistant Coach and a producer backstage on the main roster (There's a few trainers at the PC that work the main roster as producers, Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, Joey Mercury, to name a few.)

TNA just had to cancel a One Night Only and a house show tour.

If they were to sign anyone from the TNA knockouts, I think it'd have be Dollhouse since they're young enough (I'm referring to Mia Yim/Jade and Marti Belle) Taryn could possibly be as well.

[LaLaLand]

Sarita/Sarah Stock is an amazing wrestler, I'm glad she's apart of the 'E but gutted she's not on TV (as I still am about SDR).

I know her back is done in but I'd LOVE for Kharma to come back after Team Bella even if for a short run until the next Mania or something. Brooke would be a good re-signing too as she's shown she's a very competent grappler along with, as you said, The Dollhouse (not Rebel...)

[BBfanUSA]

Cameron's back down at NXT, Looks decent gimmick wise.
http://squaredcirclesirens.com/cameron-makes-her-return-at-nxt-live-event/

Athena Reese is now down at NXT as well, debuted at a house show last week.

[LaLaLand]

I would pay good money to see Athena vs. Asuka

[Calderyon]

Have not watched Raw for weeks now and Smackdown for at least two months, maybe more. Only PPV´s.

Just feel like not worth it anymore.

[BBfanUSA]

Paige is appearing on Conan next week
https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/3oy5pu/paige_to_be_a_guest_on_conan/

[BBfanUSA]

This weekend, There's house shows in Mexico and it's being main evented by Braun Stowman/Luke Harper vs Brothers of Destruction (Yes, Undertaker is working house shows this weekend)

Meanwhile in the US, the other house show tour will have Rollins vs Cena in a 30 minute Ironman Match. Vince thinks he can do better than NXT again. :joker:

[Iceman]

Undertaker is clearly growing his hair long for Mania again.

[BBfanUSA]

Smackdown is coming around here at Xmas time.

I got a presale code but I'm not sure if I should since my family could go on a trip at that time

[BBfanUSA]

Ireland is getting Sheamus vs Finn Balor for the European tour.

[BBfanUSA]

Big debut for SD this thursday

Tyler Breeze debuts in a Miz TV segment, Summer is his GF and manager/valet

[Novo]

Breeze doesn't need Summer Rae there, there are so many talented woman at the minute in the company but wwe insist on shoving her down our throats.. great beatdown on Ziggler though

[BBfanUSA]

Breeze doesn't need Summer Rae there, there are so many talented woman at the minute in the company but wwe insist on shoving her down our throats.. great beatdown on Ziggler though

I can't believe you are saying that when she had an excellent feud with Paige down in NXT.

She was the leader of the BFFs. C'mon man.

[Jordan.]

Summer <3 forever wasted as a valet

[Novo]

Summer Rae is Dog****, not a big enough character, mic skills are terrible and there are so many better wrestlers out there, get rid

[BBfanUSA]

BIG spoiler on who's answering Cena's Challenge tonight
Daniel Bryan has been cleared from injury and is set to answer the call tonight.

[Novo]

Give my Carmella a push and she'll put Summer to shame

[Calderyon]

Alberto del Rio is back!!!

[Jordan.]

Suspected it was gonna be him from rumours. I'm glad he's back :clap1:

[Jordan.]

why the Zeb pairing tho

[Novo]

yeah such a weird pairing considering how Zeb use to have a anti foriegn gimmick

[Jordan.]

Great divas match, they actually gave them a decent amount of time to work. Nikki doesn't get enough credit imo

658456038413197312

[BBfanUSA]

That was a decent Divas Match.

Paige is sooooooooooo going full heel tomorrow.

Also with New Day retaining, my guess is that the Usos come back tomorrow (or Kofi and Big E are attacked by the Wyatts)

[Tarryn]

ADR returning made my night especially after Bray lost to Roman.
Roman is the new golden boy of WWE. Bray should have won the match.
Hope they give Del Rio more respect this time around.

[BBfanUSA]

My question is, Isn't ADR still contracted to AAA? Isn't he their WHC?

[Liam-]

I thought he was still with them, didn't stop me from fangirling nonetheless.

I'm a bit confused though, I thought the Kane Vs Rollins match was going to be HIAC? :joker:

Other than that and the tag team match, which was extraordinarily subpar, the show was great Nikki Bella really impressed me in her match and the two Cell matches are rather delightful I must say.

[Novo]

My question is, Isn't ADR still contracted to AAA? Isn't he their WHC?

The AAA president has commented on it and said there would be more news soon, maybe some dual contract

[Novo]

Great match in the main event, predictable outcome but a bit surprised KO got pinned and not Dolph

Paige full heel turn was really well done and made her look legit, there was a lack of Sasha tonight.

The Wyatts carried Kane to the retirement home to join his brother so all is good there

[BBfanUSA]

Getting WWE 2k16 in a bit. Will play it a bit tonight

[BBfanUSA]

Manchester Raw in a couple weeks is now officially sold out.

The SD from there has the Undertaker appearing.

[michael21]

Getting WWE 2k16 in a bit. Will play it a bit tonight

I wait till 2k17 thanks

[Jordan.]

Manchester Raw in a couple weeks is now officially sold out.

The SD from there has the Undertaker appearing.

Why couldn't he have done Raw :worry:

[Samuel.]

I haven't watched since SummerSlam :(

I'm not even as down on the current product as most seem to be, it's just the time commitment each week is so hard to keep on top of.

I pray one day they'll go back to 2 hour RAWs.

[Jordan.]

Amazon sent 2K16 a day early <3

[King Gizzard]

Novo's great sig

I'll watch main shows again when they're called up

[BBfanUSA]

Novo's great sig

I'll watch main shows again when they're called up

It'll have to wait, Cass sprained his MCL and just this week was Kafaybe injured on NXT by Dash & Dawson.

The Crews/Balor NXT Championship match is this week. There's going to be a title match on each ep in the next three weeks. (Next Week Tag Team Titles, and the week after Women's)

[BBfanUSA]

Raw tonight will have a Divas F4W match between Sasha, Becky, Paige, and Brie. Winner is #1 contender to the Divas Championship

[Novo]

Would love Sasha to win but it will be Paige wont it

[Jordan.]

Will no doubt be Paige. I want Charlotte vs Sasha at Wrestlemania anyway.

[BBfanUSA]

I think Charlotte's been mainly crap since being called up. So I'd much rather have Paige vs Sasha (I have a feeling she's going to turn face before WM).

I think they'll probably go the F4W route at WM with Paige vs Sasha vs Charlotte vs Becky. I think they'll have it open WM32.

That was a fun F4W, would've been cool if Paige decided to take Sasha out by putting her through the announcer's table with a Rampaige (I seriously want to see that. Could be a cool spot)

Randy Orton's Shoulder Injury is pretty serious and will miss at least WM at this point since he'll require surgery. He's been on every WM card since 20 I think.

[Jordan.]

:mewithoutmywig:

[BBfanUSA]

awwww, It left out the best part where Cameron convinced Asuka to put her leg down, which then led to the gif above.

[Iceman]

Rollins is out :amazed:

[Calderyon]

6-9 months.

Will probably be replaced by either Cena, Big Show or Reigns.

[Novo]

Jesus i just watched Eva Marie's match on NXT, she is somehow managing to get even worse

[BBfanUSA]

Jesus i just watched Eva Marie's match on NXT, she is somehow managing to get even worse

It gets even worse, She has a televised Title shot coming up in three weeks

House shows notes:

They did Paige vs Charlotte tonight in London on the "Red" (as in the Raw group) tour. Paige worked as a heel but the London fans cheered for her pretty loudly and booed when Paige lost.

Finn Balor is on the Red Tour as well facing Sheamus. They put on a great match.

Big Show took Rollins' place on the Red Tour vs Kane in a street fight but unlike in Cardiff, this wasn't the main event.

They moved Kevin Owens vs Dean Ambrose for the Intercontinental Championship to the Red Tour, it's the main event now I guess. Match ends with Owens hitting Dean with a Steel Chair for a DQ to keep the title. Babyfaces and heels come out after and it gets chaotic from there. It's kinda like how sometimes they would end shows with every face hitting a finisher on a certain heel.

I assuming the Blue tour (Currently in Spain) has Reigns vs Wyatt in a street Fight as it's main event.

Bayley is on that tour teaming with Natalya against Team B.A.D., She came out in Scotland to her old theme rather than Turn it Up. Sounds like the reason why she doesn't have it is because they forgot about it because her current titanitron is being used.

[Jordan.]

Manchester bound 👏

[Calderyon]

First time in a long time excited to watch Raw, since due to Rollins injury (which is a heartbreaking thing) they are forced to step up now.

Just hope they don´t replace him with Big Show, Kane, Sheamus or Ryback.

[BBfanUSA]

They're starting the Tournament tonight on Raw and it'll carry over to SD.

The roster is split because of the Europe tour so it makes sense they would do that since Deadly Games had not a single clean finish

[Jordan.]

Crying cause taker :omgno:

[Jordan.]

Screaming walking back to the hotel from the arena and all the cars are beeping their horns to new day rocks

[Jordan.]

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

[Samuel.]

Super jealous. That looks like a great view.

[Brother Leon]

Rooney slapping fools :worship:

[Tarryn]

The tournament looks predictable.
Will Bray Wyatt ever get a World title shot :shrug:

[Jordan.]

The fact Kalisto is in the running welp

[Black Dagger]

Kalisto is great!

[Black Dagger]

Rooney slapping fools :worship:

First time he's got one on target in a while hehe

[BBfanUSA]

Kalisto is great. Lucha Dragons can actually be enjoyable.

There was a backstage promo on NXT where Kalisto was translating everything Sin Cara was saying in Spanish to Devin and at the end of the promo Sin Cara said "Thank You Devin"

[BBfanUSA]

It's confirmed that Takeover: London will be aired live from the UK, no tape delay.

[Jordan.]

JJ Garcia, the brother of Nikki and Brie Bella, posted on Twitter earlier this evening that his family is safe

As noted, Nikki and Brie are currently in Paris, France, celebrating their grandmother’s 83rd birthday. The hotel they are staying at is about 15 minutes from Bataclan concert hall, one of 6 sites in a coordinated terrorist attack of Paris today which has, thus far, killed over 150 people.

:worry: glad they're okay

[BBfanUSA]

TNA's Jeremy Borash is in Paris as well. He's okay too fortunately.

WWE's European Tour is wrapping up but I think one group is England still (Reigns vs Wyatt) and the other group (Owens vs Ambrose) is in Germany to wrap up the tour I believe.

[Novo]

Dash and Dawson warming those titles for Enzo and Cass i see

[BBfanUSA]

*Jordan/Gable

Although it'd be fun to have Enzo and Gotch team up for a bit to get the titles off of Dash and Dawson

[BBfanUSA]

Paige went there tonight with Reid Flair.

[Liam-]

Paige is such a great heel, I wonder if Charlotte knew that line was coming

[BBfanUSA]

Paige is such a great heel, I wonder if Charlotte knew that line was coming

Probably.

Ric said on his podcast that he didn't know it was happening and isn't happy about it.

It wouldn't surprise me if Paige and Charlotte were forced by Vince to do it or risk losing their spot on the card.

**** Vince as always.

[Novo]

Wasn't on the level as when Orton said Eddie was in Hell though lol

Enzo and Cass v Dash and Dawson for the titles confirmed for NXT Takeover London, if they win the titles here it will be amazing

[Novo]

And thank god Bayley beat Eva Marie, ****ing sack her already before she injures someone

[BBfanUSA]

In case anyone wants to know the card for London.

NXT Championship
Finn Balor(C) vs Samoa Joe

NXT Women's Championship
Bayley(C) vs Nia Jax (W/ Eva Marie)

NXT Tag Team Championship
Dash and Dawson (C) vs Enzo and Cass (W/Carmella)

Emma vs Asuka

Baron Corbin vs Apollo Crews

[BBfanUSA]

There's a TBA vs TBA 5 on 5 SVS series match on the card

I think it may include the losers from the semis of the tournament so that's why it hasn't happened.

I'm really hoping Paige and Charlotte is booked like how a blood feud is supposed to be on Sunday because that'll probably make what happened on Monday even worse than what it was if it wasn't.

[Denver]

I want Ambrose to win the title

[Liam-]

The elimination match will probably be Usos vs New Day with respective partners on each side

[Iceman]

Survivor Series is under threat of not going ahead. ISIS have issued a threat

[Novo]

Enough time to plan extra security, get safety measures in place etc should be alright

[Novo]

AJ Styles has said he would consider joining NXT if he felt it was at the right time, would be great having him there for a bit to put over the new talent, seems to be working well with Finn and Joe and Rhyno did well making Corbin more legit

[Liam-]

Vince wouldn't cancel a PPV because of a terror threat, they'll just have extra security.

[Denver]

Just read there are no plans what so ever to cancel the show

[BBfanUSA]

Enough time to plan extra security, get safety measures in place etc should be alright

Yep, they're even opening the gates early to accommodate for it.

I don't think anything bad is going to happen anyway but it doesn't hurt to be safe

Vince wouldn't cancel a PPV because of a terror threat, they'll just have extra security.

Well duh, this is Vince here.

[Iceman]

Caesaro is out for 4-6 months.

[Calderyon]

Survivor Series was somewhat of a failure sadly. Very rushed matches and the cash in was predictable. Championship match was short and a disappointment.

It did prompt Raw audience to cheer loudly for Roman so that´ll please Vince at least.

[Cherie]

ISIS don't pre warn of attacks do they?

[BBfanUSA]

I felt like Raw was better than Survivor Series,

Hell, I felt like Paige/Charlotte last night was miles better than SVS because it felt more like a brawl and there was ring psychology late with Paige suplexing Charlotte into the ropes legs first and then later attacking the legs.

When is Paige going to put Charlotte through the announcer's table with a Rampaige though? I feel like that should be a thing of hers.

[Liam-]

SS and Raw were both full on ****, I'm very quickly losing interest in the product.

[Iceman]

Reigns was champ for 5 minutes.

[Iceman]

Really need some kick start heading into next year. I'd bring in Balor as a security guard for Seamus. Have them try that and see how it goes. Also I wonder how long until Balor is actually world champ?? My guess would be within 2 years of his debut.

[Liam-]

Welp @ them re-hashing the Dudley's table against a faction storyline from TNA :joker:

[BBfanUSA]

Can't Wait to hear this at Takeover London

Damien Sandow ✔ @TheDamienSandow
If I win a Slammy that means I have to accept it. Which means I have a live mic...on live tv.........#SlammyAwards

Damien Sandow ✔ @TheDamienSandow
Wow, I never do this but if your with me let THEM know it. Tweet, vote ,do whatever you do. I now release the Sandow Syndicate, go get em!


:(

[BBfanUSA]

:(

The last thing he might want to do is to shoot on live tv. He'd probably be fired for real on Live TV and may never get to comeback.

[Ramsay]

He's dead in the water anyway, might as well go out with a bang ha

[Calderyon]

Tbh though, i don´t he has any chance of winning that anyway. Sadly.

[BBfanUSA]

Raw ratings increased by 27% percent (3.022 to 3.8) and the third hour beat the 2nd hour in the ratings even.

Damn.

[BBfanUSA]

I need to get around to watching the London Takeover.

They recorded three matches for NXT next week too, including Sami Zayn's return (Vs Tye Dillinger) and a tag team Fatal 4 Way with Gable/Jordan, Vaudevillians, Hype Bros, and Blake and Murphy.

[Calderyon]

Interesting read about John Cena:

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2015/1218/605914/former-wwe-superstar-says-john-cena-tried-to-bury-alex-riley/

[Iceman]

Interesting read. Cent sounds like a dick

[BBfanUSA]

Alex Riley is a dick anyway it seems by twitter. It's all about perspective

[Calderyon]

Stardust might have a neck injury:

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2015/1219/605930/stardust-out-of-action-with-a-neck-injury/

Sheamus might be injured:

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2015/1221/605968/top-wwe-superstar-injured/

[Ramsay]

Hope it's nothing serious. Talent dropping like flies with these injuries.

[BBfanUSA]

If it's serious enough pretty sure Reigns is facing HHH at the Rumble

Although Owens can go for both the Intercontinental and WHC titles

[Novo]

They could just put Rusev or ADR against him I suppose

[BBfanUSA]

Sheamus is appearantly fine according to some sources.

Someone who's outside the arena on twitter posted a photo of what seems to be the cage being rolled into the arena for tonight's show in Minneapolis

[Stu]

Wolfpac is back causin' mass destruction.

[BBfanUSA]

Wrestle Kingdom 10 is today, 8 AM for you guys on NJPW World.

3 AM for me so I'll not be able to watch it immediately, I need to buy it tonight. It's as cheap as the WWE Network.

Tanahashi vs Okada is the main event but Styles vs Nakamura for the Intercontinental Championship and Jay Lethal vs Micheal Elgin for the ROH championship is also on the card

[Stu]

Probably doing something yous have already said but :

http://watchwrestling.to/

Great resource for indie. ROH are hot, hot, hot right now. And the 1st season of Lucha Underground is there to ... varying degrees of success?

But still. Yeah. Raw is in the toilet. Indulge in other stuff! NJPW is the bomb diggity ^^^.

[BBfanUSA]

Raw's main event is going to be Reigns defending the WWE WHC against Sheamus with Vince McMahon as the ref.

There's going to be ****ery afoot.

[Calderyon]

I was thinking earlier that it being the first RAW of 2016, there´s going to be something big happening.

Most likely Reigns will get screwed tonight. Which would mean that the winner of Royal Rumble might become much clearer after tonight´s events.

[BBfanUSA]

Well, Reigns is defending the WWE WHC in the Rumble this year.

Confirmed for the Rumble so far is All 4 Wyatt Family members, Big Show, Ryback, Heath Slater, Jericho, The New Day, and now Reigns by default. Lesnar, Owens, Ambrose, etc. will be in it as well I bet.

I don't really care who wins it, as long as it's not Lesnar.

Keep him away from the goddamn title.

[arista]

Yes Tough that 1 is against 29

Numbers Game



He needs a Bat

[Calderyon]

Sasha Banks apparently has an undisclosed injury.

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2016/0107/606456/top-wwe-diva-reportedly-injured/

[Iceman]

Cenas injured.

Brock better dominate and make some records in the RR

[Calderyon]

At this point, it´s almost certain that Reigns will win it. And i can see them bringing Brock at #30.

[BB4fan]

Reigns already won the Royal Rumble match last year. I was hoping someone else could win this time like maybe Bray Wyatt, but that won't happen now i guess.

Reigns will most likely win it again if not possibly Sheamus if HHH returns and eliminates Reigns which could happen.

[Calderyon]

Sandow finally on TV...

...when all of the superstars are on the ramp.

[BBfanUSA]

Kalisto won the US championship last night :D

Then Becky saved us from a Charlotte/Brie Bella match :D

and then Lesnar showed up, I think I may have a stroke if he wins :(

[Calderyon]

^ And Alberto won it back on Smackdown.

[Calderyon]

Ks-KhVMViOU

So bad, it´s good. :laugh:

[BBfanUSA]

^ And Alberto won it back on Smackdown.

We wanted Smackdown to seem important. Why couldn't they have Becky win the Divas Championship last week? I love Mauro Ranallo though and Heel Lawler is back again.

The 2 out of 3 falls match should be good just as long they have Kalisto win.

[Calderyon]

Wow. Is Smackdown better now? Should i start watching it?

[BBfanUSA]

Wow. Is Smackdown better now? Should i start watching it?
It has felt better, still the same graphics package though.

The ep last week was excellent, they had two title matches with Becky losing to Charlotte thanks to Ric helping his daughter and Ambrose and Owens throwing the rules to the wind in the main event with a double countout first and then brawling all over the arena in the end.

Bryon kinda contributes nothing to the show with Lawler being heel and all. Plus they actually call the in ring action.

[BBfanUSA]

For the Maximum Impact tour, TNA will have Will Ospreay, Jimmy Havoc, and Big Damo O' Connor on the cards.

Also Angle's last TNA match before his retirement will be against Bobby Lashley, which is on the tour

[BBfanUSA]

NXT tapings are tonight in a bigger arena for Rumble Weekend.

A big surprise has been teased
Austin Aries

Also TNA reportedly tried to get back AJ Styles before his big move to WWE (he's skipping NXT), TNA reported that they tried signing him back in December on their website, obviously bitter about not getting them back.
