[Denver]

Still not over last nights rollercoaster

[Denver]

The fact they bring your childhood back then destroy it hours later is a massive mind ****

[Denver]

Apparently they left Taker's gear where it was until everyone had left the stadium.

Great touch for such a legend

[Jordan.]

Was such a massive night in is career, I think he did himself proud in the match.

[Jordan.]

My ranking for last nights matches:

1. AJ vs Shane
2. Aries vs Neville
3. HHH vs Rollins
4. Reigns vs Undertaker
5. Jericho vs Owens
6. Fatal Four way Tag
7. SD Women's Six Pack Challenge
8. Brock vs Goldberg
9. Orton vs Wyatt
10. Mixed Tag Match
11. Raw Women's Fatal Four
12. Andre Giant Battle Royal
13. Ambrose vs Corbin

Wasn't looking forward to AJ/Shane so i think it exceeding my expections and being entertaining through out made it my favourite. Ladder Tag match might be higher after rewatching I was too busy checking the response to the Hardy's returning than paying attention to the match :worry:

[LaLaLand]

I'd agree with that ranking Jordan but perhaps the ladder match made higher for the surprise element and spots.

Great Mania overall I thought! Looking forward to RAW now too which is unusual lately... praying to god Evil Emma returns and slays!!

[Black Dagger]

Proper two halves of a PPV. The weak stuff was really weak. So disappointed in Wyatt/Orton, moreso for the whole 'HE'S STRONGER THAN EVER' and one RKO in the ring did him in, but they definitely had their time cut. And Taker/Reigns was dire, it just showed Taker couldn't go anymore, nobody was getting anything out of him.

But yeah, the strongest Mania of the decade so far imo. Really good. (Well 30 might edge it actually, a rewatch may be needed)

[Black Dagger]

But for me the ladder match wasn't incredible and without Hardy's comeback it would have been really lacklustre.

[Black Dagger]

Always look forward to a post Mania RAW though.

Suspect we will get the Banks heel turn tonight. HHH's new Evolution & The Revival.

[LaLaLand]

Here for it!!

What's this new Evolution though!? Not heard anything on that?

Foley's replacement teased too perhaps?

[Jordan.]

In b4 Adam says Lita is the new GM

[LaLaLand]

Are Lita and Matt even on good terms after all that stuff?

[Black Dagger]

Here for it!!

What's this new Evolution though!? Not heard anything on that?

Foley's replacement teased too perhaps?

I think there was rumours we were getting Owens added to the Joe/HHH vibe that has being going on recently. It won't be 'Evolution' per se. I expect Zayn and Balor to be with the Rollins side.

Oh yeah I forgot about the new Raw GM. Reckon that will be decided tonight, but I can't see that being anybody other than Kurt. Wouldn't mind Summer to troll mind.

[LaLaLand]

Ahhh that'd be good! Hunter, Joe and Owens together!

Angle OR Summer would be fine with me. She was great as GM of FCW. Her interactions with Steph would be great too.

Got everything crossed for Emma though tonight, girl's waited long enough and deserves a huge push...

[Black Dagger]

Oh wow. They're doing a Takeover from Chicago on May 20th as well. That might be a rushed card they put out, because I assume they'll only get one set of tapings that they do this week.

[Black Dagger]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C8f51OAUIAAWn-R.jpg:large

(the confirmation of venue lol x)

[LaLaLand]

Did not see that coming!

[LaLaLand]

Just realised that Lita is going to be in my town on the weekend at the Comic Con here in Wrexham (as are Kevin Nash, Mick Foley, Bobby Heenan and SoCal Val...)

Sorry Adam lol.

[Denver]

Lita is coming for the SD/Raw Women's championships and she may as well take the World Heavyweight title why she is there :idc:

[Denver]

With WrestleMania 33 out of the way, the attention now turns to the post-WrestleMania season, with a new group of NXT call-ups ready to step up and make their mark on the main roster.Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez spoke on the subject on today’s edition of the Wrestling Observer Radio, naming three men who are “100%’ about go get called up” to the main roster, with one popular tag team also considered a possible for a call-up sooner rather than later.

[LaLaLand]

Nakamura, Samson, Dillinger and The Revival looks like.

[Denver]

Nakamura is off to SD

[Denver]

SD will probably get the tag team with their piss poor teams

[LaLaLand]

The Revival would be a blessing to SD!'s tag division. They're epic

[Brother Leon]

Just clocked that Undertaker,Rikishi and Yokozuna were all part of the BSK. Crazy that Rikishi and Yoko's own family was the one who their good friend passed the torch to.

https://68.media.tumblr.com/8e5534128d905c9ea64fb950ab207b30/tumblr_nieas5j1gN1tszqifo1_500.png

[LaLaLand]

All of the guys in the BSK were big, monsters of men... and then you had Savio Vega and Mr. Fuji too :laugh:

[Denver]

At WWE Payback, Lesnar will be defending the Championship and the possible opponents include Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins or a returning Finn Balor.

[LaLaLand]

And then can he just lose and go away?

[Jordan.]

Brock/Reigns would make sense now they've both defeated Taker at WM (as much as the fans would hate it :hehe:)

[Brother Leon]

Reigns/Lesnar was pretty good at WM31 as a battle. Problem is if Reigns beats Lesnar too then he pretty much can't lose ever again :laugh:

[Denver]

Finn Balor is expected to return tonight

[LaLaLand]

Here 4 it

[Brother Leon]

I think I will catch up on Raw tomorrow. I'm tired as **** and don't care much for Balor if that's the main surprise.

[LaLaLand]

Spoilers/Possibilities/info regarding tonight according to Bleacher:

- Goldberg is gone for the time being
- Finn Balor IS backstage, expected to return
- Emma could return
- Nakamura may debut
- Hardy Boyz make their much-anticipated Raw return
- Reigns vs. Lesnar OR Strowan vs. Lesnar OR Lesnar vs. Nakamura set ups possible
- Owens vs. Y2J rematch likely

[Denver]

One thing that pisses me off is they give The Hardy's the titles on their return (which they deserved) they gave the New Age outlaws the titles but the Dudley Boyz got **** all

[Denver]

Angle and HBK are on Raw tonight and one of them will be appointed GM which we all know is Angle

[LaLaLand]

Hopefully it's Angle, someone new to be GM. HBK was already commissioner.

[Denver]

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer has speculated that things may have worked out differently had The Undertaker’s personal request been granted, however. According to Meltzer, ‘Taker requested to face John Cena at the Ultimate Thrill-Ride, only for the Deadman’s request to be turned down by Vince McMahon himself.

[Denver]

McMahon screwing Taker over again

[LaLaLand]

Were Miz/Maryse originally intended to face Ambrose/Renee Young at Mania or something along those lines?

[Denver]

Were Miz/Maryse originally intended to face Ambrose/Renee Young at Mania or something along those lines?

I am guessing that was the case? but they were desperate for Corbin to win the IC title a Mania but changed the plan last minute

[Denver]

I know Lesnar was never meant to beat the Undertaker but that was changed seconds before they went out

[Denver]

I know Undertaker's originally retirement plan was to retire after his 1st Mania loss

[LaLaLand]

Iirc he wanted to face Sting too?

[Denver]

He screwed him over loads

[Denver]

Apparently Vince had the future in mind yet

He had 2 part timers fight for a title
A legendary tag team return to win the Titles
A near 15 year veteran win the main title

According to Meltzer, ‘Taker requested to face John Cena at the Ultimate Thrill-Ride, only for the Deadman’s request to be turned down by Vince McMahon himself.

That was what he wanted like a year ago, but he cooled on the idea when it became clear Cena was about to turn part time.

Were Miz/Maryse originally intended to face Ambrose/Renee Young at Mania or something along those lines?

I heard that too, but Ambrose wasn't interested apparently.

[LaLaLand]

It would make sense what with the whole Renee slapping Miz and Maryse slapping her but it just kind of fizzled... Oh well.

[Black Dagger]

Apparently Vince had the future in mind yet

Goldberg/Lesnar draws
You went crazy for that.
Royal Rumble winners should 90% of the time win the belt.

Every other match the younger guy went over, bar Cena and even then that is a 3 year gap.

[Denver]

Of course i went crazy and they deserve to be there because they are the best team in the world but it doesnt fit his so called logic.

but they the tag division is terrible

And a young guy beat arguably the greatest character in Wrestling Entertainment history for the main event, yet he was booed out the building...Vince can't win really.

[Denver]

And a young guy beat arguably the greatest character in Wrestling Entertainment history for the main event, yet he was booed out the building...Vince can't win really.

Because there is half a dozen guys more worthy

[LaLaLand]

To be fair I think whoever was in Roman's position last night would have been booed though, nobody wants Taker to lose at Mania no matter how obviously worn out he is.

[Black Dagger]

LOL @ how people fantasy booked Finn doing it. ****ing Finn.

[Denver]

Me personal i think Rollins should be the face of the company after Cena or Maybe Bray

[Denver]

LOL @ how people fantasy booked Finn doing it. ****ing Finn.

Finn is universally loved and has more likeability and a way better and more entertaining set of moves.

Plus Demon vs Demon would have been fantastc

[Black Dagger]

I mean. Roman comes across as a great person off screen so this likeability thing you keep spouting is nonsense really.

[Black Dagger]

And the Demon King gimmick is actually garbage, but I'll save that rant for another day.

[Denver]

He doesnt come across as a likeable person on screen and doesnt come across as a role model.

I dont really care for someone who only has 3 or 4 moves

[Denver]

And the Demon King gimmick is actually garbage, but I'll save that rant for another day.

It really isnt though it is iconic and something totally different but not trashy

[Black Dagger]

lmao @ role model.

[Black Dagger]

It really isnt though it is iconic and something totally different but not trashy

It's paint. Goldust has body paint.

[Denver]

lmao @ role model.

Well to take over as the face from Cena you need to have kids look up to you and be a role model

[Black Dagger]

I mean he's the second biggest merch seller, so he's clearly doing something right with them?

[Denver]

That doesnt make you a role model

[Denver]

He will literally get like the Rock and quit for movies in years to come

[Black Dagger]

That doesnt make you a role model

If they want to wear his shirts why does it matter.

[Black Dagger]

do you ever get bored.

[Brother Leon]

Because there is half a dozen guys more worthy

"Hey Vince, reward the younger guys ffs"

"Ok"

"No, not him. Someone else"

Vince knows those people are going to complain regardless. It's just like when Daniel Bryan had just had his WM moment and yet there was a meltdown from those guys that he couldn't do it again for WM31 instead of a new fresh Reigns that had people crying over the fact he lost to Batista in the Royal Rumble match the year before. At the end of day, Reigns makes the complaint lots of money and envokes the most emotion regardless. He was one of the best options.

[Brother Leon]

Finn is universally loved and has more likeability and a way better and more entertaining set of moves.

Plus Demon vs Demon would have been fantastc

A dude that weighs as much as me covered in face paint and fake hair. Some Demon... the gimmick is a joke and no casual would have took him leaving Undertaker on the ground for good seriously. There is a reason why Undertaker handpicked Lesnar to end his streak and was happy with Reigns retiring him. Because they both look like the type of people that could destroy the magic and special effect of The Undertaker.

Taker was never meant to lose to Lesnar that was Vince's idea at the last minute

[Denver]

Also Lesnar beggged to lose the match

[Denver]

Vince McMahon was going on the assumption that this was Undertaker's last hurrah, and he could either win, or lose. McMahon chose the idea that it was better to lose on your way out...One person close to the situation said McMahon talked Undertaker into doing it. Another, who would also know, described it as McMahon making the call and Undertaker agreeing and that he wasn’t talked into doing something he didn’t want to do. It was not his original call, but he was in on it and never protested the call.

[Black Dagger]

I love your sources. Was this another Billi Bhatti one?

[Black Dagger]

Speaking of him. He had a spat with Jimmy Havoc today and he got rinsed off Twitter. So that was fun.

[Denver]

I love your sources. Was this another Billi Bhatti one?

Well he said the Hardy Boyz would win the titles at Mania remember the same thing that you were certain would not happen?

[Black Dagger]

That was Meltzer lmao. Stop pretending some no mark off Big Brother knows things.

[Denver]

I got it from him

[Denver]

i posted it on here weeks ago

[Denver]

Just because you didnt like him in BB does not mean he isnt a credible source

[Black Dagger]

ok hun.

[Denver]

We will see how credible the site in when they were the 1st to say Nakamura will debut on SD tomorrow so it will show if they are reliable or not

[Black Dagger]

lmao they've made a prediction like anybody else when debuts are expected.

I hope he turns up on RAW now x

[Denver]

They are not just predictions though.

I mean they were down to the detail with the Hardy's return.

They said if you see ladders in the run up to Mania the tag match will be a ladder match and the Hardy's will return

[Denver]

https://www.sportskeeda.com/wwe/wwe-wrestlemania-33-rumors-hardy-boyz-likely-to-win-raw-tag-titles-at-wwe-wrestlemania-33

[Denver]

Look how reliable Billi was there

[Black Dagger]

I honestly don't care.

[Jordan.]

I honestly don't care.

[2]

All these tedious rumour posts need to **** off now mania is done.

[Denver]

[2]

All these tedious rumour posts need to **** off now mania is done.

You do realise it is an all year round business? it doesnt just stop and end with Mania

[Jordan.]

Yeah great so we'll have you posting about what legends are returning all year for 90% of them to never happen

[Denver]

Rumours are there for a reason.

[Denver]

It is funny how you all called me a liar about The Hardy's returning at Mania and said it wouldnt happen but guess what it did

[Black Dagger]

Billi said there will be some wrestling on the show tonight :amazed:

[Jordan.]

Rumours are there for a reason.

If I want to see rumours I will read a rumour website, I used to like coming to this thread to see actual opinions on the current product.

[Denver]

Stop be a cocky little **** because you were proven wrong yet again

[Denver]

If I want to see rumours I will read a rumour website, I used to like coming to this thread to see actual opinions on the current product.

Everyone posts rumours so dont just come for me.

This thread was pretty dead till recently

[LaLaLand]

[Isn't getting involved]

Hardy Boyz vs. Gallows/Anderson tonight - don't think they've ever faced each other before last night? Kind of a dream match for me here! Hardys vs. The Club!

:cheer2:

[LaLaLand]

This crowd is VICIOUS :laugh3:

Screaming DELETE @ Reigns and now "**** YOU ROMAN" OMG

[LaLaLand]

This is incredible!! Ha

[Black Dagger]

Reigns was perfect there x

[Brother Leon]

Reigns just stood there saying nothing and got the most heat I have seen for the longest time. That's why Vince won't be making him do the stereotypical heel turn all the hardcore fans want :laugh:

[LaLaLand]

God I hate the amount and length of commercials WWE has.

[Denver]

Hopefully he is making Angle GM

[LaLaLand]

Vince to announce the new GM?

[Denver]

Vince to announce the new GM?

Likely especially if they go down the Steph injured root

[LaLaLand]

Love this crowd so much

[Denver]

Oh the draft is next week

[Denver]

Yesss Angle

[Denver]

Love this guy

[LaLaLand]

Scalped

[Denver]

The Rivival are here

[LaLaLand]

Best heel tag team for YEARS

[Denver]

Surprised they went to Raw where they wont get a look in

[Denver]

Raw: New Day, Enzo & Cass, The Club, Cesaro & Sheamus, Revival, Hardy Boyz.

SmackDown Live: American Alpha, Usos, umm...

Start the WWE Drafts already..

[LaLaLand]

SIX WOMAN tag match coming up!?? SIX WOMEN on RAW? Neverrrr

[Denver]

Emma is back

[LaLaLand]

I am SCALPED!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Denver]

Kurt's reactions are killing me

[LaLaLand]

He's going to be brilliant!

[LaLaLand]

I'm okay with Braun v Lesnar!

[LaLaLand]

Ohhhh I wonder who Rollins' new partner will be... ;)

[LaLaLand]

Welcome back Finn!

[Denver]

They made last minute changes to the show last night which led to things panning out differently

[Brother Leon]

Glad Balor has left the face paint and fake hair away. Can take him more seriously now.

[Black Dagger]

Demon should only come out on the big 4 idc.

[LaLaLand]

Agreed!

[Denver]

I hope and pray Luke Harper never goes back to the Wyatts and gets a deserved singles push

[Denver]

Glad Tye Dillinger debuted

[Black Dagger]

I mean he's distinctively average in the ring and once you get past the 10 chants he's nothing, but he's been in development for 10 years so I'm happy for him.

[Denver]

He will never be world champ but he has quality to be US/IC champ

[LaLaLand]

OH MY GOD Nakamuraaa

[Denver]

OH MY GOD Nakamuraaa

I did say but everyone didnt believe the source

[Black Dagger]

Can you shut up about your sportskeeda source.

[Denver]

Can you **** off from the planet

[Denver]

Thing with you is you don't like being proven wrong

[Denver]

Obvious AJ is going to Raw

[LaLaLand]

Hope not, would love Styles vs. Nakamura feud in the WWE.

IF he does I hope Gallows/Anderson stay put and we have a Club reunion as a stable with Balor (heel).

[Brother Leon]

I think AJ and Rollins will trade. Both have had beef with the commissioner etc.

[Jordan.]

I did say but everyone didnt believe the source

shame about Lita, Asuka, Victoria, Jazz, Kelly Kelly and whoever else you said would be making an appearance though

https://media.giphy.com/media/Zx6QKaI3DeqoE/giphy.gif

[Denver]

shame about Lita, Asuka, Victoria, Jazz, Kelly Kelly and whoever else you said would be making an appearance though

https://media.giphy.com/media/Zx6QKaI3DeqoE/giphy.gif

Kelly Kelly has confirmed she is coming back to WWE abd Asuka was being held back because the other NXT women are not good enough

The others it was a known fact they wanted veteran woman but I guess they couldn't get non

Also that was a whole different sources to start with

[Denver]

Former TNA Knockout and Ring of Honor star Taeler Hendrix has announced that she is leaving ROH, and Cageside Seats is speculating that this may be because Hendrix is scheduled to appear in the forthcoming WWE Women’s tournament. Hendrix announced her departure via her official Twitter account.

[Black Dagger]

Thing with you is you don't like being proven wrong

I never stated Naka wasn't going to SD though lol.

[Black Dagger]

:joker::joker:

[Denver]

I never stated Naka wasn't going to SD though lol.

You was like he is most likely to go to Raw or i hope he goes to Raw now

[Black Dagger]

I thought RAW was more likely bc Japan doesn't get Smackdown. I never fully ruled it out.

I'll stick with Meltzer over Billi Bhatti though anyday thanks x

[Denver]

I'll stick with Meltzer over Billi Bhatti though anyday thanks x

I know you dont trust him has a source but he has been very reliable and went as far as detailing how the Hardy's would return

[LaLaLand]

Depends if her ankle/foot is healed in time, I know it's a while off but I believe she's broken it (same as what I've got going on right now plus a grade 3 sprained ankle) and I can tell you it's an absolute bitch of an injury that takes aaaages to heal.

Would love to see her in the 'E though. Her ROH gimmick is awesome, brilliant heel and good in ring (hot too).

[Denver]

In an interview conducted over WrestleMania weekend, inaugural Impact Wrestling Grand Champion Aron Rex (WWE’s Damien Sandow) has confirmed that he is no longer with the company.Rex, real name Aaron Haddad, went one step further and dropped a major hint that he may be retiring from wrestling altogether. Rex’s Impact Wrestling tenure lasted just seven months.

[Brother Leon]

Don't know if I want Alexa to stay on SD as she's more likely to win there or go to Raw and improve further and get more exposure. Hmm..

[Jordan.]

Think she's best off staying on SD since no woman is gonna top Charlotte as the best heel on Raw.

[Denver]

There has been rumours Sasha may go to SD so maybe they have kept her face so she doesnt ruin her friendship and turn her heel when she goes to SD?

[LaLaLand]

Just realised the next set of NXT tapings are tonight. Really hope we get new faces and real progression, it's felt stagnant for along time and needs a kick up the butt (especially the Women's division).

[Black Dagger]

Charlotte needs SD. She has outgrown the RAW women now.

[Denver]

I think it is obvious AJ will go to Raw but i dont see Raw given one of their big guns up

[Black Dagger]

Sami
New Day or Enzo and Cass
Charlotte

SD

AJ
American Alpha
Becky

RAW

[Denver]

Sami
New Day or Enzo and Cass
Charlotte

SD

AJ
American Alpha
Becky

RAW

SD needs American Alpha because its tag division is crap as it is and going to raw they probaly wouldnt get a chance with 4 or 5 teams ahead of them

[Denver]

I would take Enzo and Cass for the Vaudevillians

That way Enzo and Cass can become champs and Vaudevillians do what they do best

[Denver]

Swap AJ for Braun and Sasha for Natalya

[Denver]

I am just thankful Raw now has a great tag division

[Denver]

Oh it seems American Alpha are not moving as they get their rematch for the gold next week

[LaLaLand]

Charlotte needs SD. She has outgrown the RAW women now.

Agreed!!

[Denver]

The Vaudevillians are no more

[Denver]

Simon Gotch has been released

[Denver]

849680750706388996

[Denver]

Gotch landed in a lot of trouble last year in April when he got into a backstage fight with Sin Cara. He has been kept off television ever since the incident that was said to be a one-sided beatdown of Gotch at the hands of Cara. Reports claim he got into a lot of trouble because of his mouth and the fact that he rubbed talents the wrong way backstage.

[Jordan.]

Sucks I liked Vaudevillains as a team.

[Denver]

Natalya now holds the record for the most in-ring appearances at WWE pay per views by a woman (40).

[LaLaLand]

You can tell Gotch was unhappy with the position The Vaudevillains were in, he just lost his passion. I respect his choice to leave and be taken seriously in other promotions.

Aiden English has charisma by the bucket load and has nailed his character down perfectly, he'd be a good midcard heel.

[Brother Leon]

I definitely see Charlotte going Smackdown. There is only so much Baley/Sasha/Charlotte that the fans can take before getting bored. Probably Alexa or Becky in return go to Raw. Would also allow Nia to become a champion eventually without Charlotte having to be buried :laugh:

[LaLaLand]

Absolutely terrible news from the set of NXT tapings underway...

Drew McIntyre has new music, not "Broken Dreams" as before. :(

BY0PxoilxzM

[Denver]

They created then axed a 6 pack cruiser weight match hours before Mania

[BBfanUSA]

The NXT tapings included a new graphics package and a new theme which will debut next week

It looks like an X Factor set a bit. Simon Cowell to be the new GM of NXT

Fan vid of Drew's NXT debut:

Q5r5NuC5Ifw

[Denver]

Meltzer said that AJ Styles being drafted to RAW would mean that the red brand would have to send a big star over to SmackDown Live. However, he stated that he has no idea who that could be.
As for the latest call-up, Shinsuke Nakamura, Meltzer stated that he was brought in as a possible replacement for John Cena, who won’t be around for much this year. The New Day being drafted to SmackDown Live is likely a move to help save the blue brand’s tag team roster.Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair both finished off their storylines on television, indicating that they seem to be switching brands. Meltzer speculated that the two former champions will be swapping spots, but admitted that he had no concrete information on this.Andrade “Cien” Almas was present at the NXT tapings on Wednesday night. He wrestled two matches, one of which he won. He and Samson likely didn’t make their debuts as there were already a few debuts and returns.

[Brother Leon]

I predicted Alexa/Charlotte and Rollins/AJ. I stick with that for now. New Day to Smackdown is meh to me. They may have some decent work with the Usos, especially as they are always goofing around on Xavier's gaming channel.

WRESTLEMANIA® BREAKS MORE RECORDS
STAMFORD, Conn., April 6, 2017 – In addition to setting a new Orlando Citrus Bowl attendance record of 75,245 fans, which led to the highest-grossing event in the stadium's history at $14.5 million, WrestleMania also broke records for sellouts, digital and social media engagement and merchandise sales.

But WWE is dying with their booking :(..

[Denver]

WTF at Lesnar not defending his title at Payback

[Denver]

According to Dave Meltzer, Goldberg might make another come back to the WWE. On a recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Meltzer opined that Goldberg’s merchandise was selling pretty well after his return, his character was blazing hot and the promos he cut were very strong. He emphasised that the WWE didn’t really want to let Goldberg go as they were thoroughly impressed with his recent run and would most definitely look to bring him back in the future.

[BBfanUSA]

My guess for trades
Raw Gets AJ, Alexa, JBL, American Alpha, and they'll sign The Drifter Elias Sampson

SD gets Sami or Rollins, Charlotte, Graves, The New Day and they'll sign Almas

[Denver]

Lesnar may not defend the title till July

[Calderyon]

Mauro Ranallo gone from WWE?:

JBL could be on the verge of being sacked after a lot of stuff has come out of him bullying people

[Denver]

Yeah i read WWE gave them permission to fulfil their indies bookings and take the belts

[Calderyon]

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2017/0409/625098/alberto-del-rio-says-wwe-has-contacted-him-about-returning/

[Denver]

Very much doubt it

[Black Dagger]

This deluded fool needs to lay off the coke.

[michael21]

JBL could be on the verge of being sacked after a lot of stuff has come out of him bullying people

Yea he bullying me so I mko him from otter no where

[BBfanUSA]

Meltz basically hinted that he'll likely be sacked in the next two weeks or so saying "In the next two weeks or so you'll figure out the real press from the fake ones" alluding to the whole situation. If he's not gone in three weeks, I'll gladly post the likely negative crowd reaction JBL will get before SD (I'm going to it).

In New Japan news, Juice Robinson (That Hippie guy called CJ Parker on NXT who decided to say screw it, I'm going to try to stop being a jobber and became a young lion for New Japan) pinned IC Champ Tetsuya Naito in a 8 man tag match at their recent event and is likely getting a IC title shot soon. (Started off this year facing off with Cody at the Jan 4th Tokyo Dome show 1 on 1 and is highly speculated to receive a big push later this year by being in the G1.)

IIRC there's two shows in the US that will feature just the NJ roster in Long Beach, California called the G1 special just before the tournament starts, so likely he's getting a title shot there for one of the shows.

[Brother Leon]

Doubt JBL will get sacked. Vince will probably move him backstage. He loves that hazing/ribbing **** and him and HHH probably encouraged abit of it too. Even if he does get sacked then Vince will make sure he gets some nice coin as a take care present.

[Denver]

According to the rumour roundup section of Cageside Seats, there is one trade practically locked in for the Superstar Shake-Up. Charlotte will be moving to SmackDown, while Alexa Bliss will shift to Raw.

[Brother Leon]

Time for Alexa to snatch stale Bayley's title :worship:

[Denver]

Rumours that both Charlotte and Sasha will got to SD

[Calderyon]

[Black Dagger]

Sasha better not. Charlotte and her need to be away from each other for the year.

[Denver]

I wonder who will replace Styles? Reigns seems to be the only one that is being rumoured but i heard they want him to face Lesnar for the title at some time

[Denver]

I think it is best for Sami Zayn to move to SD and i would love the CW division back on SD

[Brother Leon]

Rumours that both Charlotte and Sasha will got to SD

Would prefer Sasha to stay. Once the Bayley/Sasha feud is done I would like to
See Alexa and Sasha.

[Denver]

I feel they may want Sasha to turn heel without destroying her friendship with Bayley so being on SD may be the best opportunity

[Brother Leon]

The It Couple :lovedup:

[Denver]

I think The Miz is due another WWE Title run

[Calderyon]

An IC or US title run most likely, but i don´t see the Miz getting an UT or WWE title run ever again. Even though they are among the best ones with AJ on WWE.

My day has been made

[Jordan.]

My AJ Lee book came <3

[Denver]

WWE have confirmed Apollo Crews is the first trade for Raw moving from SD

[Denver]

Rhyno and Heath Slater are also moving to Raw

[Denver]

Seems like it will be a full draft

[Jordan.]

Good 1 or 2 changes is boring

[Denver]

The Miz and Maryse on Raw?

[Brother Leon]

Oh wow. Raw is dicking SD taking AJ and Miz.

[Jordan.]

As if Vince would be happy letting SD get all the high praise

[Denver]

Dean Ambrose too?

[Denver]

Owens defo off to SD then?

[BBfanUSA]

Raw has gotten Apollo Crews, Miz, Maryse, Ambrose (with Intercontinental Championship in Tow) so far.

This has to mean Owens is off to SD right?

[Brother Leon]

New Day still on Raw?..

[Denver]

Sami Zayn to SD then

[Denver]

Seems like they are gearing up for Rollins to move to SD

[Brother Leon]

Smackdown getting dicked :joker:

[Brother Leon]

They are teasing a Shield Reunion hard...

[Denver]

Not Bray aswell

[Denver]

Are they just gonna swap everyone

[Brother Leon]

Bray will beat Orton and take th belt to Raw to make up for Lesnar being part time :joker:

[Denver]

So is Bray going alone?

[Denver]

Strowman aint playing about

[Brother Leon]

Reigns off TV for a while then?

Interesting.

[Denver]

Enzo and Cass not in this match? heading to SD?

[Denver]

Alexa Bliss to Raw

[Denver]

Mickie James asewell

[Denver]

Raw has litterally tore the SD roster apart tonight

[Denver]

Raw has took 7 former champions from SD

[Brother Leon]

Alexa actually making Bayley interesting :worship:

[Denver]

So Charlotte and Sasha both go to SD? i cant see them not replacing the 2 high quality departures with similar quality

[Brother Leon]

:joker:

[Denver]

So AJ Styles isnt moving

[BBfanUSA]

After the show, They had Rollins/Jericho vs Owens/Joe, Rollins won the match with a Knee variation of the rainmaker.

[Jordan.]

Alexa's pop https://atrl.net/uploads/emoticons/jonny3.gif

[Black Dagger]

Jesus. Smackdown needs a bloody good trade here.

Lost their best heel, the IC title and Bray Wyatt who was in a WWE title feud but now will be Finn's bitch x.

Sheamus/Cesaro/New Day/Emma/Charlotte/Bo will do nicely x

[Denver]

They technically need the US title and I would say Rolling would be best on SD

[Black Dagger]

Oh **** yeah Kevin can go as well.

Here for Alexa and Nia as her muscle to dominate Raw now.

[Calderyon]

I guess the only point of this shake up was to make Raw better and Smackdown significantly worse. Although Dean was getting quite stale, but he has the IC belt and now RAW has both midcard belts. Bray, Alexa and Miz/Maryse were bad losses.

Let´s hope Smackdown gets some good ones.
