Rumours that it may be Ronda vs Stephanie at Evolution for the Raw Womens title

[Denver]

If that is true you just know they will have Steph win the title

[LaLaLand]

They wouldn't have her win, defeats the purpose of the show.

[Denver]

They wouldn't have her win, defeats the purpose of the show.

just i dont see them constantly letting Ronda beat her and the only way to end the fued is for Steph to finally win

[Denver]

Also another rumour i am pissed off about

Kevin Owens is expected to win The MITB Breifcase

[Jordan.]

If that is true you just know they will have Steph win the title

Can't see it, Ronda is gonna be undefeated until WM at least

[LaLaLand]

Sandow getting to kiss her. :flutter:

[LaLaLand]

Jacqueline having 1% is a crime

[Jordan.]

The choice of women is a bit naff really, we saw most of them return at RR. Hoping for more surprises at the ppv.

[Jordan.]

If they snub Victoria again my network subscription is getting cancelled

[LaLaLand]

If they snub Victoria again my network subscription is getting cancelled

Damn right! Victoria would have been a good pick for the MYC over Kaitlyn imo, she can still go and is happy putting others over too.

If she's not at Evolution then she NEEDS to be in the Rumble!

[LaLaLand]

Lesnar is on RAW tonight!

Rousey is also back!

[Jordan.]

Will never get tired of the Miz/Bryan feud :flutter: Miz throwing the baby at him last week nn

[Denver]

I am really not her for the Becky screw over again she needs to win the title

[Jordan.]

I am really not her for the Becky screw over again she needs to win the title

Seems like they're building towards a Becky and Charlotte feud so I can see either Carmella retaining or Charlotte wins and Becky turns on her for taking her opportunity

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DjeuLzDU0AIQJw2?format=jpg

[Ramsay]

Yeah a Becky heel turn would be interesting but at the same time I dunno, she's such a good babyface!

[Denver]

Asuka is expected to be added tot he SD Womens Title match

[Jordan.]

Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that NXT Superstar Aleister Back underwent surgery after suffering a torn groin at a recent NXT live event in Las Vegas, NV.

Pro Wrestling Sheet also reports that the typical recovery time for such a procedure is three weeks or longer and that Black’s scheduled appearance at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn is in real jeopardy.

Black is currently scheduled for an NXT Championship rematch in a Triple Threat Match against Johnny Gargano and current NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa.

Hope he recovers in time :worry:

[LaLaLand]

Jesus I bet that was painful! Speedy recovery to Black!

[LaLaLand]

Matt Hardy is expected to take some major time off to rehab pain from injuries old and new. Some believe he may never come back.

[LaLaLand]

Why is there a monotonous Reigns talking segment at the beginning of every.single.RAW!?

STOP IT

[LaLaLand]

You know something has gone really wrong somewhere with creative when you're rooting for Mojo Rawley over Bobby Roode.

[Jordan.]

Can't be arsed with it tonight just gonna tune in for the Ronda/Alicia match

[LaLaLand]

Ruby is back!! Thank God

I'm absolutely gutted, legit and possibly tournament-changing injury from tonight's MYC tapings:

Tegan Nox (Nixon Newell) blew out her good knee during a suicide dive, she missed last year's tournament due to injuring the other one. Rhea Ripley advanced to the semi-finals after the X signs were thrown up. Pretty much a cert Tegan should have advanced. Poor her :(

Vince McMahon/WWE is reportedly FURIOUS that the ROH/NJPW supershow G1 at Madison Square Garden has sold out.

Tickets for April’s G1 Supercard presented by Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling went on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. ET on Friday. A pre-sale for ROH HonorClub members on Wednesday saw about 60% of the available seats sold.

All tickets were sold out 19 minutes after sales were opened to the public, according to PWInsider.

The show will be held on April 6, the night before WrestleMania across the river at MetLife Stadium, competing against WWE’s NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn at the Barclays Center. While ROH has been running Supercard shows in conjunction with WrestleMania weekend since 2006, the company has never attempted to book a venue as large as MSG. SuperCard of Honor XII, held last April in New Orleans, attracted 6,000 fans to an arena that seats nearly 9,000. The Garden seats 18,500 for wrestling.

Incredible!!

[RileyH]

welp @ some of the MYC results

[Jordan.]

1028279930310807552

[LaLaLand]

Rusev & Almas... From WWE Championship feud and NXT Champion to the pre-show within a matter of weeks. WWE logic.

[Jordan.]

Actually one of the best feuds they have right now too. No shade but does anyone actually care about Balor vs Corbin or the New Day getting their 20th title shot? :inamood:

Wrestling legend Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart has died, according to the WWE. He was 63.

http://static.wrestlingculture.com/2018/08/bfsjh4gfdfvsdg.jpg

Neidhart passed away early Monday morning after suffering a medical emergency at a home in Florida.

According to the emergency dispatch audio, emergency personnel were called around 6:30 AM about a man having seizures and convulsions.

At one point, the dispatch operator says, "They think he might be Signal 7" -- which is code for a dead person.

Jim was a WWF superstar in the mid-'80s and early '90s as a member of The Hart Foundation tag team with Bret "The Hitman" Hart ... managed by Jimmy Hart.

During his legendary career, Jim was a 2-time Tag Team champion -- defeating everyone from the Legion of Doom to the Nasty Boys to The Rockers.

Neidhart also wrestled with WCW and TNA Wrestling. He last wrestled in WWE back in 2007, but has made appearances on "Total Divas."

Before he became a pro wrestler, Neidhart pursued a career in pro football -- with brief stints with the Oakland Raiders and Dallas Cowboys.

Neidhart is survived by his wife, Ellie, and 3 daughters including Natalie -- aka WWE superstar Natalya.

Tragic RIP. Poor Nattie :(

[LaLaLand]

RIP legend.

Dean Ambrose is expected to return tonight/SummerSlam/night after SS.

[Denver]

Asuka is apparently unhappy with the way she is being booked and walked out on SD and has not spoke to anyone since

[LaLaLand]

A rumor has been going around over the last few days that Asuka got in an argument with WWE officials at this week’s SmackDown Live and walked out on the promotion. This is not true, according to Ringsidenews.com. The story was falsely attributed to Mike Johnson of PWInsider but no major news outlets have confirmed any such a thing. Had Asuka walked out, it would have been a top story backstage but no one has been talking about it, suggesting that nothing happened.

False.

[LaLaLand]

Matt Hardy has tweeted a "goodbye" to Bray Wyatt, thanking him for everything.

He's either retiring or they're splitting the team up and repackaging Wyatt.

Can't wait for takeover

[LaLaLand]

Same really excited for TakeOver! ALWAYS delivers!

[LaLaLand]

Can Gargano vs. Ciampa better any previous encounters!?

Will Kairi finally dethrone Shayna?

[Jordan.]

They'd have to actually kill each other :worry:

And really hope so but can't see it, I can already picture the selfie of Ronda and Shayna with their titles lol.

[LaLaLand]

You're probably right!

One thing's for sure, the Tag Title match is sure to be unbelievable (once again!)

[LaLaLand]

Absolutely epic!!!

[Jordan.]

I've loved this Velveteen/EC3 feud, their promos together have been hilarious :skull:

[LaLaLand]

Dream's pants read "Call Me Up Vince" :laugh2:

Dream is so over it's incredible!

Is he getting called up!? The pants, the little sort-of "farewell" there!? :shrug:

Matt Riddle signed!!

That moonsault/superkick spot omg

[LaLaLand]

Whaaaaaat! Omg.

Congrats Ricochet!!

[Jordan.]

Awesome match well deserved win

[Jordan.]

Let's go Kairi :fc:

[Jordan.]

Oh god Ronda ringside even less hopeful now

[Jordan.]

This was spotted in the arena tonight, looks pretty official

1030940907489509377

[LaLaLand]

Oh ffs not here for Bliss beating Stratus (inevitable)!

This is the best I've ever seen Shayna.

[Jordan.]

Holy **** yes!!!!!

[LaLaLand]

Awww I'm landed! Shayna looked so good there though ngl. Beast!

[Jordan.]

Ciampa getting the reaction Ziggler wishes he got when he started doing that no music thing :fan:

Ciampa getting the reaction Ziggler wishes he got when he started doing that no music thing :fan:

Facts!

[Jordan.]

Dead at Ciampa using the ringside guy to bury Gargano

[Jordan.]

The storytelling in this match has been insane

[Jordan.]

I wanna see if the person who got hit by the crutch in the crowd made the 10 count

[LaLaLand]

Brilliant TakeOver once again, thoroughly enjoyed every single match.

Fast forward 24hrs when I'm feeling "meh" and deflated at SummerSlam...

[Jordan.]

Was a brilliant show as expected. Will try and remain positive for Summerslam but yeah :laugh:

[Denver]

I can see Adam Cole and Gargona being promoted

[Owoaje1993]

Waiting for ladies night out three to happen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsTeZTdB3bw

[Black Dagger]

Unpopular opinion but Gargano and Ciampa has done **** all for me bar their first match.

[Denver]

Rumours that at Evolution it will be Ronda Rousey vs Nikki Bella for the Raw womens title

[Denver]

If they are doing that i would expect the SD Womens title to be defended against a legend

[AdamAdmiz]

Takeover was phenomenal once again in my opinion

[LaLaLand]

Rumours that at Evolution it will be Ronda Rousey vs Nikki Bella for the Raw womens title

The Bellas epitomise the awful era of the Diva's Division, which is something they're trying to get a million miles away from. So why the F do they keep bringing them back, giving them their own shows etc.

Baffles me.

If this match goes ahead then this PPV is a joke (I mean it's already looking a shambles with Bliss vs. Stratus confirmed). Would much rather see Rousey vs. Asuka or something.

[Braden]

Totally agree with you, Jonnii. I will kick. off. if Ronda's match at Evolution is with Nikki Bella. The Bellas are the most overrated female wrestlers of all time. Still can't believe it came down to Nikki and Asuka during the Royal Rumble, which sadly makes me believe that this rumour will come true.

Dunno what to make of Alexa vs Trish, either. The pimping out of Alexa has become tiresome. I dread to think what Vince may be doing while watching this match play out. Wet dream come true for him.

[Black Dagger]

Nikki is probably the name that gets them the most mainstream exposure. Which is what they really care about most. Own reality show, longest reigning champion and former DWTS contestant so I get it.

[Braden]

That's a **** reason to have her possibly main event with Ronda Rousey of all people, tbh. A lot of the attention they bring is to do with their looks as opposed to their talent.

Not saying they're terrible wrestlers, but there are a bunch of women more deserving to have this opportunity.

[Jordan.]

Nikki is probably the name that gets them the most mainstream exposure. Which is what they really care about most. Own reality show, longest reigning champion and former DWTS contestant so I get it.

Pretty much. It's all about money not who deserves it most.

The only other alternative I could see facing Ronda is Natalya because of her family history, none of the other women have a big name outside of WWE.

[Jordan.]

This is also the reason I found it funny people getting so pressed at Alexa winning the title back it was obviously only to set up this match as Ronda vs Nia wouldn't have been as big a draw.

[Denver]

We want Becky Lynch vs Lita for the SD Women's title.

Lita needs her revenge

[Black Dagger]

That's a **** reason to have her possibly main event with Ronda Rousey of all people, tbh. A lot of the attention they bring is to do with their looks as opposed to their talent.

Not saying they're terrible wrestlers, but there are a bunch of women more deserving to have this opportunity.

Nikki isn't my choice mind. Just trying to make sense of WWE logic.

[Black Dagger]

Lita is probably the match I'm least looking forward to tbh. Of all the returnees in the Rumble she definitely looked like she could go the least.

[Denver]

Lita is probably the match I'm least looking forward to tbh. Of all the returnees in the Rumble she definitely looked like she could go the least.

Well she was the only one that actually destroyed her body with her career

[Black Dagger]

Well she was the only one that actually destroyed her body with her career

Which is why I wouldn't look forward to a Mick Foley match either... my point stands.

[Denver]

Which is why I wouldn't look forward to a Mick Foley match either... my point stands.

She still has a bit to give yea she probs wont last more then /10 mins but she could defo do 1 or 2 big spots in the match like her Moonsault at the RR

[Braden]

Nikki isn't my choice mind. Just trying to make sense of WWE logic.

No, I know :p I just think it's ****ty on WWE's behalf, but hopefully, it won't come to fruition.

[Braden]

I would love for Ivory and Jacqueline to have a match together at Evolution :love:

[Jordan.]

Ugh I wish that match went longer, back to the snoozy panel

[Jordan.]

If Drew loses I'm going to bed

[Black Dagger]

Oh **** off.

[Jordan.]

That's IT axe 205

[Jordan.]

This is all going south and it's only the preshow

[Jordan.]

Does Ziggler only know sleeper holds I'm bored

[Jordan.]

These 3 are killing it, can't predict which way it's gonna go :omgno:

[Jordan.]

YES Becky SNAPPED this is what we deserve!!!

[LaLaLand]

YESSS "HEEL" BECKY omg

[LaLaLand]

Prayers answered

[LaLaLand]

Joe is such a #LAD

[Jordan.]

I can't believe they have out this on already... before the US title match lol.

[Jordan.]

Styles & Joe match of the night so far, amazing

[LaLaLand]

"Who's your Daddy?" chants :laugh3:

[Jordan.]

Promo vid for this match is great hope it lives up to the hype

[LaLaLand]

Maryse you sly dog!

[Jordan.]

Demon Finn! thank god they did something to make this match interesting

[LaLaLand]

Long overdue seeing the Demon!

[LaLaLand]

Bryan & Brie vs. Miz & Maryse incoming?

OR just Brie vs. Maryse @ Evolution?

[Denver]

The I think that's it for DB and wwe

[LaLaLand]

Hope to God Ronda wins here

[LaLaLand]

Aww Nattie!!

Under the circumstances, tonight would be perfect for a heel turn for her!!!

[Jordan.]

Bella Twins ringside somethings going down :skull:

[Jordan.]

Can Ronda chill I'm already worried for Alexa nn

[Jordan.]

I can't take Ronda seriously when she's looking like a pheasant

Here for the universal booing of the Bellas.

[LaLaLand]

Mad isn't it how TakeOver had less than half the matches that tonight has and it STILL 100% eclipsed SummerSlam.

[Jordan.]

YES :omgno:

[LaLaLand]

OH YM GOD please please please

[Jordan.]

Save us Braun!

[LaLaLand]

Literally me rn

https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7535aa04ee032b1ec0da8fc2e9f14af9f6ea52a9e7686a9cbd ab5f718b9509ed.jpg

[Jordan.]

OK whatever at least the championship will be back on tv every week.

[LaLaLand]

Oh..........

[Jordan.]

1. Styles vs Joe
2. Charlotte vs Becky vs Carmella
3. Bryan vs Miz

Top 3 matches for me, the rest was subpar...

[Denver]

Reigns doesn't deserve the title

[Denver]

Also Michelle McCool is wrestling Evoloution

[Black Dagger]

Reigns doesn't deserve the title

Time to accept the big dawg!

[Denver]

He is only a transitional champ before Brains wins it by Xmas

[Jase.]

SS was f'n ****e

Takeover was LIFE CHANGING

[Black Dagger]

He is only a transitional champ before Brains wins it by Xmas

That's not transitional. It's August!

[Denver]

Hopefully he cashes in tonight

[Denver]

Is it just me who is pissed off that we are not getting Trish vs Mickie for 1 last time

[LaLaLand]

SS was f'n ****e

Takeover was LIFE CHANGING

Right!?

And it wasn't even anywhere near one of the best TakeOvers. It's a really sad state of affairs for the main roster tbh.

[Black Dagger]

I really only liked the tag title match from Takeover?

[Denver]

Hopefully Kairi Sane winning the title means she can defend against Io Shirai

[Jordan.]

Is it just me who is pissed off that we are not getting Trish vs Mickie for 1 last time

I wouldn't complain but I'd rather see a once in a lifetime match than one that has been done numerous times.

[Brother Leon]

Takeover was nothing special. /HotTake.\

[Brother Leon]

Also. Very well deserved for Roman :clap1:

Haters can suck on one.

[LaLaLand]

I'm just glad Brock's gone tbh.

[Brother Leon]

Yeah. Here for Lesnar v Jones in UFC tbh.

[Denver]

Dolph Ziggler has apparently turn down a new deal and will not Resign with WWE hence why he dropped the title

[LaLaLand]

Dolph Ziggler has apparently turn down a new deal and will not Resign with WWE hence why he dropped the title

Best news I've heard all day.

Well, that and that Asuka is due to turn heel very soon. 'Mella will be babyface soon too.

[LaLaLand]

Speaking of Asuka, she's apparently going to face Lita @ Evolution.

[Denver]

Speaking of Asuka, she's apparently going to face Lita @ Evolution.

Asuka isnt ready for Lita

[LaLaLand]

Asuka isnt ready for Lita

Asuka could wrestle a mop and make it look amazing, so there's hope that Lita will be less like Bambi in the match, slipping and sliding all over the place.

[LaLaLand]

Wonder if we'll see any call-ups tonight/tomorrow?

[Denver]

I feel Velveteen/Gargona/Cole/Nikki Cross and maybe Shayna could be called up

[LaLaLand]

SO OVER The Shield. What's the point!?

[Brother Leon]

Always here for The Shield. This is all to set up the Ambrose heel turn anyway. I would prefer the three of them to turn heel and just run the place though truth be told.

[Jordan.]

SO OVER The Shield. What's the point!?

Only way they can get the crowd to be here for Reigns title reign

[Ramsay]

Yeah I love the Shield, love seeing them back together

[Denver]

It is being reported by Barnburner's 'Fired Up' Podcast that WWE is planning to call-up several NXT stars next week on Raw and SmackDown Live. However, Wrestling Observer Newsletter speculates WWE is considering calling up EC3 and former NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler to the main roster..

[LaLaLand]

They're apparently aiming for Sasha & Bayley vs. Rousey and Baszler at a PPV I read, as Jessamyn and Marina are too green to be put into a 4HW vs. 4HW feud currently.

So Rousey will lose he title before then? as they said every female title will be defended

[Jordan.]

What's the point of more call ups when they're doing **** all with the last bunch they called up

[LaLaLand]

Bryan/Brie vs. Miz/Maryse confirmed for HIAC.

That Becky promo :flutter: this feud is gonna be great

[Jordan.]

The fan insults were a bit forced though I just want her to be a badass heel that gets cheered

[Jordan.]

New Day winning the titles :sleep: save us Sanity

[Denver]

Kurt Angle will apparently become a full time wrestler in OCT

[Brother Leon]

Wtf. The guy can hardly move...

[LaLaLand]

Exactly what I thought. Dude can't look sideways without turning his whole body, neck is completely fused.

Here for it, but call up Nikki to rejoin them. She's got nothing left to do in NXT and I don't see her being in NXT UK or she would have been announced already imo.

Speaking of NXT UK, one of these women will be the first ever NXT UK Women's Champion at the weekend in Birmingham. No idea where Killer Kelly is, or Charlie Andrews. Also rumours were true, Rhea Ripley will be apart of NXT UK. Come through Jinny!

I know she has a lot of other good work going on right now but I really hope she considers an appearance :fc:

I read her book and she said she left because she felt she had achieved everything she wanted to do in the company but there is so much more now they're giving the women equal opportunites.

[RileyH]

Right but why was I not informed my Bellas were back

Looks like The Rock is winning RR

[Denver]

1033028332009545728

Also he is Bookies fave to win

[Jordan.]

I'd be here for Rock vs Roman main eventing Mania

[Ramsay]

It would never happen again but Hollywood Heel Rock, I WANT

[Brother Leon]

The Rock may be the only person Vince feels he needs to turn Roman heel for, but even then I don’t see it. I’m here for it though, especially for the tears from the Roman and Part Time haters :laugh:

[Black Dagger]

The Rock has been terrible since he left in 2003. So... great.

[BBfanUSA]

And the NXT UK Women's Champ is....
Rhea Ripley

Which means that the original plan might've been Tegan Nox/Nixon Newell

I really can't grumble at this! Happy for her, she's clearly being looked at as a "next big thing".

OR she's just got it due to Tegan's injury. Or both. :laugh2:

Mike Johnson of PWInsider Elite Audio reported earlier, a big match for Kurt Angle is in work. Also, he was at backstage this week at Raw to talk about his return that he'll make around the Hell in a Cell PPV to face-off none other than Baron Corbin himself.

Kurt training hard for an in-ring return is no secret and he's been taken off from T.V just because he could train himself and get in better shape. The initial idea for his comeback match is to make him go against Corbin. Also, this match makes sense after the weeks of rising tension between both superstars..

[Jordan.]

Kurt killing himself for a match no one wants

[Jordan.]

Looks like Neville finally got his release, he's been moved to the alumni section on WWE's website

This is such a massive shame, he could be one of the top guys of NXT UK if they managed to convince him back around. Huge shame.

[LaLaLand]

Can The Bellas please **** off and stop milking any opportunity they can get now?

The company has moved on from their "era", they're no longer necessary.

Never!

[LaLaLand]

They're so sloppy lmao

[Jordan.]

Honestly I don't think the Bellas get the respect they deserve, they could have easily up and left the company like all the other divas of their era but they've shown commitment and stuck it out. Nikki especially coming back after career ending neck surgery and still putting her body on the line.

[LaLaLand]

Jesus Taker is here!

SD! will still be better though.

[BBfanUSA]

Uh, Drake/Spud is now AOP's manager.

Is Paige about to become 205 Live's GM then or?

[Jordan.]

1036804264088219649

honestly kinda surreal this is a match in 2018 :skull:

[Denver]

We Love the match of the night

[LaLaLand]

Mate I would be PISSED if I was a current woman on the roster.

Match slots are being taken up by these "dream matches" leaving little room for any interesting and hard-hitting NON-TITLE bouts for the current crop, most probably be a massive cluster of a battle royal like at Mania all over again.

Sad really when this isn't the actual point of the PPV.

[LaLaLand]

Mixed Match Challenge is returning with the following ten teams:

Raw:
Braun Strowman & Alexa Bliss
Bobby Lashley & Sasha Banks
Finn Bálor & Bayley
Jinder Mahal & Alicia Fox
Kevin Owens & Natalya

SmackDown:
The Miz & Asuka (Winning Team of Season 1)
Jimmy Uso & Naomi
Rusev & Lana
AJ Styles & Charlotte Flair
R-Truth & Carmella.

[Denver]

Apparently Elsworth is returning tonight

[Denver]

Raw is moving to Friday for one night only on the 28th of December

[Denver]

Also a Women's Intercontinental title is looking even more likely

[LaLaLand]

I'm halfway through watching "All In" on YouTube and it's honestly blown my mind.

One of the best wrestling shows ever, every single match is just incredible.

EVERYONE should watch!

[Denver]

Pentagon Jr is in talks with the WWE

Lana dragging her 2k19 model :skull: tbf I don't know why they made her bald.

[LaLaLand]

It is legit awful though. Like I don't mind the attire, but she hasn't had her hair like that since she was in NXT (on TV anyway). Should have either just been long or the long ponytail.

It's from this photoshoot:

Agree, it's weird cause in 2K18 she looked perfect all they had to do was update her gear :shrug:

Some massive Evoloution rumours coming out

Melina will return to face Noami

Awesome Kong will return with the cast of Glow

Alicia fox and Kelly Kelly vs The IIconics vs Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose vs Beth Pheonix and Natalya for the Women's Tag Team titles

Really touching story, even more respect for her now :love:

[LaLaLand]

Always got love for Zelina/Thea, remember hearing about her Father back when she was in TNA and wanted her so badly to "make it" just because of the reason she's wrestling. VERY pleased to see her on the main stage now and aligned with probably the soon to be next megastar of the company in the not so distant future.

[Denver]

Vince apparently wants Cien Almas to win the RR

[Denver]

Also they want Rey Mysterio, Fenix and Pentagon Jr to form a Latin Amerian stable

[Denver]

And rumours that Paul Heyman will debut a new stable in a few weeks

[Denver]

So it is an end of an era as Matt Hardy has officially retired

[Denver]

Jason Jordan will also apparently never wrestle again
