[Denver]

Which if some rumoured are to be believed Hulk Hogan could be his replacement

[Denver]

Its a shame tbh though as i am a huge fan of Foley

[LaLaLand]

Hope to God Hogan doesn't come back!!

[Denver]

Hope to God Hogan doesn't come back!!

I have seen a few rumours he will be back at Mania

[Calderyon]

Rumours going around that Eva Marie is done with wrestling, not returning.

Looking forward to her nudes and probable adult entertainment debut.

So an i

[Calderyon]

^ Probably not as much as you though.

Why that:conf:

[Calderyon]

^ Just a hunch.

[michael21]

^ Just a hunch.

Are you saying she a man :bawling:

[Calderyon]

^ Eh, what? When did i say that?

She´s a woman or at least looks like it.

Good news so why wont i like here then ok she no Corinne Olympios but stil :laugh:

[Calderyon]

I implicated that you probably are waiting her nudes and pron debut little more than me. Since you have those "channels" and all. And you actually really like her. I find her annoying and somewhat of a user.

Mick Foley is advertised for my local Comic Con here in Wrexham the week after 'Mania, so the rumours are true by the looks of it.

For what it's worth, Mick is booked for a NBA D-League team's Pro Wrestling night, being done in co-operation with a Indy promotion (There's a few wrestling matches before the game and a title match at Half Time) on March 25th too.

Del Rio is saying Paige could be cleared around April-June.

Basically she's going to return to Raw by attacking Charlotte when she (and maybe Sasha) are attacking Bayley. (Would get an epic pop if it's post Mania Monday)

I heard Bayley and Paige are the 2 that they plan to lead the Raw women division over the next year

[BBfanUSA]

I think this is likely.

Wouldn't even shock me if Bayley faced Sasha at Summerslam while Paige faced either Charlotte or Stephanie (screwjobs her out of a chance and the two violations come up, Paige likely gets back at her by giving her the option of facing her in the ring but Stephanie refuses, so Paige goes Stone Cold on her until Stephanie gives in. Maybe even help Bayley retain the title on a Raw.)

EDIT: If Paige stays clean and gets the 2nd strike removed in October, she'll likely get a massive push around Mania season, Wouldn't surprise me if they did Paige vs Charlotte for the Raw Women's Championship at Mania with either Paige or Charlotte winning a Women's Rumble and if Paige doesn't have the title by then they'll likely make it Title vs Contract/Career Winner must be decided by Pinfall or Submission

[LaLaLand]

THIS would be an absolutely perfect way for Paige to get her great original ruthless, lone wolf "anti-Diva" gimmick back. Paige just wrecking shop on Raw and pissing off The Authority. Would def be here for this!

The Authority are no more bang bang

[LaLaLand]

The Authority are no more bang bang

Trips and Steph (and whoever is replacing Foley) same thang.

[Denver]

I wouldn't bet against Nash replacing Filey after all he is HHH best mate

[Denver]

Chavo Guerrero Sr sadly died yesterday

[Denver]

Naomi is now favourite to win the Smackdown Women's title :fc:

[Denver]

www.oddschecker.com/tv/wwe/wwe-elimination-chamber/alexa-bliss-v-naomi-smackdown-womens-championship-match

Naomi is the strong favourite and has one of the best odds to win tonight so it seems like she is finally getting her chance to shine :clap1:

[Jordan.]

I'll be sobbing.

[Black Dagger]

I mean it's definitely only transitional and Mickie will beat her for it before Mania (unless she wins by DQ tonight x) but slay @ her.

[Denver]

I dont think there are plans for Mickie to win the title yet

[Denver]

Rumours Tamina could return tonight

[LaLaLand]

Would LOVE Angle to replace Foley! He'd be great in that role.

Don't know how I feel about Naomi getting the title tonight. Would love her to get it of course but I feel like they need a better storyline for her to nab it.

Still prefered heel "Team BAD" Naomi :/ HEY maybe Tamina will help her win and they'll team up again? She's returning to SD! anytime now (booked for a live event in a few weeks as a face teaming with Naomi, Bella, Lynch etc against the heels).

EDIT: we posted about Tamina at the same time ha!

[Denver]

I do hope we get a surprise or 2 tonight like maybe the Revival replacing one of the teams

[LaLaLand]

I'm hoping Erick Rowan comes back and helps Harper, with his clown sheep mask!

[Brother Leon]

Hope we ready to see good ol' Bray crowned.

[LaLaLand]

Hells yeah!!

[Denver]

He is becoming Champion to early and his reign will last a month bit pointless

[BBfanUSA]

I do hope we get a surprise or 2 tonight like maybe the Revival replacing one of the teams

I don't think that's possible, they'd have to win the titles in their debut then when it looks likely they're working Takeover Orlando in a 3 way with DIY and AoP

[Black Dagger]

First Monday I'm working in weeks :bored:

Will have to try and avoid everything until 4 tomorrow.

[LaLaLand]

Pic of the brand new Chamber:

[BBfanUSA]

Officially bought tickets to a Sami Callihan/Solomon Crowe run All Star Indy show,

Joey Ryan vs Billy Gunn is the only match officially booked so far FFS

[LaLaLand]

BRILLIANT match between Becky Lynch and Mickie James!!

[Jordan.]

Nice opener

[Jordan.]

I miss heel Ziggler with AJ and Big E

[Jordan.]

Mess at The Ascension the last team, they actually have a chance?

[LaLaLand]

Nothing would surprise me!

Savage Uso's.

[Denver]

The tag team division is so week right now

[LaLaLand]

They have more than enough potential within the teams they have now to build it up! They just need to stop treating Breezango/Vaudevillains as afterthoughts.

Ugh Nattie :love:

[Jordan.]

Nikki just got Reigns and Goldberg shook with that spear

[Brother Leon]

What a match.

[Jordan.]

Naomi :fc:

[Brother Leon]

Not here for Alexa to lose the title.

[Jordan.]

OMG

[Denver]

Yess Naomi

[Jordan.]

[Jordan.]

SO overdue

[Jordan.]

Perched for her entering WM with a glowing belt

[LaLaLand]

Still wish this was heel Naomi but she's so deserving! First time tonight since she's returned that I actually felt invested in her. Intrigued to see how she goes.

Orton/Harper was INSANE! Harper is so agile for a big guy.

[Denver]

Loving the new chamber

[Denver]

Seems weird with square pods though

[Jordan.]

Chamber looks less dangerous than before imo, old one >

[Denver]

So we are going Ambrose vsCorbin for the IC title at Mania?

[Jordan.]

Another overdue title run :clap2:

[Denver]

Anti climatic

[Denver]

He is literally gonna drop it at Mania what is the point

[Jordan.]

He'll retain in my humble

[Jordan.]

830987326759251968

He tried it

[LaLaLand]

"We wish Axel the best in all future endeavors".

[Liam-]

Some of the key points I loved:

. The German announce team, hello :love:

. Nattie vs Nikki was great, I love heel Nattie so much it hurts.

. Orton vs Harper was incredible, I've always been a fan of Harper and he stepped up last night and showed he deserves more than he's getting.

. Naomi vs Alexa was <3 they worked amazingly together, Alexa is a queen but Naomi wholeheartedly deserved to finally have a run with the title, she's one of the best female athletes in the company, I NEED a rivalry between her and Ember Moon immediately.

. The new chamber is gorgeous, I love it, was there padding on the ringside bit? if so I'm not a big fan, but I'll let it pass.

. Baron doing god's work and taking out Ambrose was lovely wasn't it? They need to take the title away from Ambrose and stick it on someone like Harper asap.

. Bray ****ing Wyatt is finally champion :lovedup: it's been a long time coming and I'm hyped af for the Wyatt era.

Overall it was a great PPV, the only two blips being Becky/Mickie and the tag team mess imo, they were the only underwhelming matches, everyone else delivered for me, an 8/10 show for me.

[Brother Leon]

Orton v Harper watch math of the night. Chamber and Bliss/Naomi was good too.

[LaLaLand]

It really was a great PPV, loved most of it!

Emmalina may actually, really, legitimately be "debuting" tonight.

[Denver]

She is better of on Smackdown tbh

[LaLaLand]

It suggested that Emmalina will be debuting in between the [Women's Championship] match up causing a distraction to [Bayley]. Charlotte will capitalize on it to steal another victory and retain her championship.

Bayley will then go on to a short feud with Emmalina which will cause a match at the Fastlane PPV. This might be contested for the number one contender’s spot.

Going by the creative’s current Wrestlemania planning, Bayley will come out victorious again to set up a final showdown between her and Charlotte at Wrestlemania 33.

There's too much good stuff on SD! women's wise right now she'd get lost in the shuffle, there's only 4 women being used on Raw currently so I'm happy with her there.

[Denver]

I think it is obvious Bayley will end Charlotte's streak and win the title at Mania

[LaLaLand]

Of course, sadly...

[Jordan.]

Oh at Emma being used just to further the Charlotte/Bayley feud

[Denver]

I think i am the only Bayley lover on here

[LaLaLand]

Oh at Emma being used just to further the Charlotte/Bayley feud

I know :bawling::bawling:

Wonder if they have Emma come down and distract Bayley, Char pins her, Sasha runs down to get Emma... turns heel... beats the shhh out of Bayley.

:dance:

[Denver]

If they do the 4 women attack Bayley who will be her Ally? Here's hoping a surprise Victoria return

[Jordan.]

Summer Rae returns to a glorious pop

[LaLaLand]

I don't think she'll have an ally, I think they want her to be this ultimate underdog who overcomes everything at Mania.

Sasha will probs be tweener anyway so will still attack Char/Nia whilst still going for Bayley.

[LaLaLand]

ROSA MENDES has RETIRED!

[Denver]

Teddy Long has been inducted into the HOF

[Jordan.]

ROSA MENDES has RETIRED!

I loved her on Total Divas </3

Screaming at her defying the odds actually and never getting released lol.

[LaLaLand]

The ultimate veteran... 9 years on the main roster with ONE pinfall victory!

[Denver]

Rumour is Naomi wont defend till after Mania and will instead join forces with Becki to take on Mickie and Alexa at Mania

[Jordan.]

The ultimate veteran... 9 years on the main roster with ONE pinfall victory!

A career to envy

https://i.makeagif.com/media/4-01-2015/JZKfYn.gif

[Jordan.]

Here for that Naomi concept

[Denver]

Teddy Long is a random yet great choice for HOF i loved it when he was in charge of Smackdown

[LaLaLand]

He's a great choice imo. Legendary manager, made stars out of people like Undertaker, Ron Simmons and Sid back in the day as well as being a long-time referee and obviously GM in later years.

[Ramsay]

Kinda almost sorta teared up watching Bray win, no shame.

[BBfanUSA]

If they do the 4 women attack Bayley who will be her Ally? Here's hoping a surprise Victoria return

Nah they'll do this when it's known when Paige is cleared to return later in the spring. (Del Rio said April-June)

WWE Studios is working with The Rock and Stephen Merchant to do a biopic on her family with Lena Headley and Nick Frost as Saraya Knight and Ricky Knight respectively so unless she gets that third violation, she's likely getting a huge push on her return (or after the Orton Rule takes effect in October, meaning she's down to one strike)

[Denver]

So Emma didnt even have a makeover

[Denver]

Smackdown has the Money In The Bank PPV

[Denver]

OMFG Gillberg is back

[Calderyon]

The Friendship is over!

[Denver]

It was always obvious they would face each other at Mania

[Calderyon]

It was, but this seems to soon with Owens facing Goldberg.

[Denver]

Their way to stop his rematch clause i am guessing allowing Goldberg to defend against Lesnar

[Denver]

Yesssssssssssssssss Bayley

[Denver]

I have not been so happy at a title change in years

[Denver]

Guess they are holding of the Sasha heel turn?

[Calderyon]

^ Probably happens after Mania once Bayley has won her 2nd title.

How iconic is this?

[Denver]

A black woman, a latina woman and a japanese woman are all currently champions in the wwe

[Jordan.]

Happy for Bayley but it's hard to care who's the champ when it constantly changes. I can't see her heading into WM not being the underdog either.

[Denver]

I think the plan is for Charlotte to win it back then Bayley to win it at Mania thn that will be Bayley's for a while

[Denver]

Rumours that Lita and Trish will return as wrestlers and that Trish was originally meant to face Asuka but she was pregnant so they chose Mickie James

[Denver]

And Jazz is seen as a potential

[Black Dagger]

Lita and Trish aren't doing anything other than a one match and done thing, they retired over 10 years ago.

OMG that Owens/Jericho segment was so well done. "Why am I on the list?" :sad:

[Jordan.]

Can't make it to Raw in May now as my friend has let me down </3 was too much effort getting to London anyway will wait for the Nov tour when they normally come oop north.

[Jordan.]

As seen on WWE Raw last night Emma made her long awaited return to WWE TV, but instead of debuting the new Emmalina character which has been promoted for the past 17 weeks, Emma announced she’s now beginning the transformation back to “Emma”.

According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, there were big WWE plans in place for the Emmalina character, but after multiple rehearsals, producers realized she couldn’t pull off what they were looking to accomplish.

Sources note Emmalina was intended to be a throwback to characters like Sable and The Kat, however, officials felt like she wasn’t committing enough to the role and ultimately they decided to just let Emma be evil again.

Producers are reportedly high on the concept of the character, however, so it’s possible it could be brought to life at some point down the line

Emma's defiance ending this trash gimmick. I wanna hear her evil theme again next week :flutter:

[Black Dagger]

Give it Summer. She'll make anything work.

[Denver]

I am so freaking happy for the women's division righ tnow in my opinion it is way ahead of the mens

[Denver]

I have a feeling Bayley will beat Charlotte at Fastlane which makes Sasha jealous because she could never do that leading to Sasha attacking Bayley

[Denver]

Kelly Kelly has signed a 3 year deal to return to WWE apparently

[Calderyon]

I am so freaking happy for the women's division righ tnow in my opinion it is way ahead of the mens

On Smackdown that´s very true as all of the female talent seem relevant. On Raw there´s only 4 that are getting legitimately pushed. (Charlotte, Bailey, Sasha and Nia)

Or at least on Smackdown it comes more organic and effortless than Raw where things seem somewhat forced upon.

Maybe Paige once she comes back. (Until she effs up again)

Raw only need to add 2 maybe 3 more women then it is perfectly fine and one of those is likely to be Kelly Kelly

[Denver]

Randy Orton will not face Bray Wyatt at Mania and instead a battle royal to determine the #1 contender will happen on Smackdown next week

[Denver]

Why have him win the rumble if he wont headline Mania?

[Denver]

Oh nevermind apparently it will be a Wyatt Family triple threat

[Black Dagger]

Because he will. It's been obvious it'd be a triple threat for weeks. Harper is in the best position in his WWE career rn.

[Denver]

Vader has put on twitter he has entered his final days to live :sad:

[Calderyon]

Raw only need to add 2 maybe 3 more women then it is perfectly fine and one of those is likely to be Kelly Kelly

It will still continue to be between Charlotte, Sasha and Bayley while Nia is the monster destroying the faces. Cannot see anyone other being there in the top. Smackdown is different as i could see anyone there as the champion while on Raw there are only 3-4 i can.

There are rumours that they are planning to rest Charlotte from the title picture for a long while Bayley and Paige are who they want to be the faces of the womens division

[Brother Leon]

Orton bringing the Wyatt family through to the big time at last. What a guy.

[BBfanUSA]

Raw only need to add 2 maybe 3 more women then it is perfectly fine and one of those is likely to be Kelly Kelly

For what it's worth, WWE is talking to past female wrestlers for a WM thing and Kelly Kelly did a backstage fallout interview at Raw, Could be a filler 5 on 5 legends (Led by Mickie more than likely, my guess the team could be Mickie, Melina, Victoria, Kelly Kelly, and Eve Torres) vs current crop (Led by Becky or Nikki or something or maybe they're doing a lumberjill match at WM too.

(Or another battle royal where hopefully a woman wins this time...)

WWE Hall of Famer William James Myers, AKA George 'The Animal' Steele, has sadly passed away at the age of 79.

Steele first appeared on WWE in 1967 and immediately started a rivalry with WWE Champion Bruno Sammartino, going on to becoming a reviled villain for almost 20 years.

Apparently the Paige biopic starts filming next week at the Staples Center in LA, with Florence Pugh playing Paige and various successful indy wrestlers (Thea Trinidad, Tessa Blanchard) as some of the WWE wrestlers.

Thea Trinidad uploaded a modeling pic online with the last rendition of Divas Championship, the tights seems to indicate that she might be playing either Nikki Bella but could be AJ Lee as well.

EDIT: Here's the Thea Trinidad pic in question

OMFG Victoria is heavily rumoured to return for Mania and to most likely stick around someone hold me now

[Denver]

Few interesting Details
- Goldberg would defeat Lesnar at Survivor Series in 86 seconds
- Goldberg would capture the WWE Universal Title en route to WrestleMania 33
- Brock Lesnar would defeat Goldberg for the Universal Title
- Brock Lesnar would drop the Universal Title at SummerSlam 2017
- Champion would reign until WrestleMania 34 (permitting non-significant drop in ratings and merchandise sales)
There are already internal talks within the WWE about the possibility of Brock Lesnar dropping the belt on Raw the night after WrestleMania. However, I feel that in the end, they will stick to their long-term plan, with Finn Balor currently pencilled in to be the beneficiary at SummerSlam.
It appears that Kevin Owens, Cesaro and even Roman Reigns will be moving to Smackdown in the next draft, based on conversations that I have had with the same source.
