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

I was scalped.

[Denver]

Byron Saxton drafted to SmackDown David Otunga to take his place on Raw

[Denver]

Meltzer speculated that Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair will be moving from the female side

On the male singles side, United States Champion Kevin Owens is expected to move.

New Day is said to be a lock to be moving to SmackDown Live. From the lower card,

Jinder Mahal is one name expected to switch brands.

There was huge talk about AJ Styles moving to RAW, but Meltzer speculated that Bray Wyatt took AJ Styles’ place. As for the SmackDown Live WWE championship picture, Meltzer speculated that Randy Orton will retain over Bray Wyatt and that will lead to a program with AJ Styles.

New Day seemed to be done with RAW after losing to The Revival. They are reportedly expected to be the top tag team on the blue brand.

Charlotte Flair as well was seemingly written out after losing to Nia Jax.

[Denver]

Apparently the Wyatt family is done with unless new people join

[Denver]

Glad the IC/US title changed brands as they didnt look right where they were in my opinion

[Brother Leon]

From Raw, I thought they were building up a Rollins/Ambrose v Owens/Joe feud and then Probably would have bought back Roman to complete the Shield reunion and try get him cheered. Guess not.

[Denver]

They were heavily teasing Owens to be part of the new Evolution so what happened there?

[Denver]

Also i thought we was moving away from Charlotte/Sasha but seems not

[Denver]

Kevin Owens is on SD

[Denver]

Sami Zayn is on SD too

[Brother Leon]

Corbin is so trash on the Mic :laugh:

[Denver]

I hope we get atleast 4 new women

2 from Raw
Kelly Kelly
And someone else

[Denver]

I would rather the Club then The New Day tbh

[Jordan.]

is anyone watching online can send me a link please?

[Brother Leon]

is anyone watching online can send me a link please?

http://mamahd.com/sky-sports-5-live-stream-1

Not amazing quality, but it does the job.

[Jordan.]

^ that's great thanks :clap2:

[Denver]

So we get the ****ty Shining Stars

[Jordan.]

a mess they're still trying to make primo and epico happen but give up on the vaudevillains after a year

[Denver]

The SD tag division is terrible and this was their chance to improve it and they failed

[Brother Leon]

Bring back the homie Carlito.

[Denver]

Hopes for interesting additions to the Womens roster

[Jordan.]

so sasha and charlotte are coming?

[Jordan.]

me when I see that title still isn't glowing

http://i.imgur.com/QPTweEq.gif

[Denver]

Oh

[Jordan.]

screaming at the swerve

[Jordan.]

Tamina back though :clap1:

[Brother Leon]

5* trolling :joker:

[Denver]

So no Sasha?

[Denver]

They lose 2 women and replace only 1

[Jordan.]

Hopefully SD get's Summer when she's back

[Denver]

They have truly screwed SD over with this draft

[Denver]

No Lana?

[Jordan.]

yas they're doing something with Aiden

[Jordan.]

oh he's gonna job

[Denver]

Im surprised Sin Cara has come to SD

He would have been better putting the Lucha Dragons back together

[Denver]

We still need a replacement for Bray

[Denver]

Soo The New Day are coming

[Brother Leon]

Apparently Ambrose and Renee got secretly married.

[Denver]

Paige may transfer to SD as soon as she is given the all clear to return

[Denver]

852103416407097344

[BBfanUSA]

Paige may transfer to SD as soon as she is given the all clear to return

The fact that they introduced two heels in the women's segment makes me think that they'll do that

My guess at a PPV or ASAP when Charlotte wins the SD women's title because the clock has started ticking on that

[Denver]

Jade is expected to be part of the womens tournament

[Jordan.]

852927271308587009

<3

[Denver]

Nia Jax is likely to be dropped from title contention after 2 dangerous botches which nearly badly injured Charlotte and could have killed her

[Denver]

E_OT9_g6CSU

[Jordan.]

Can't really criticise her too much considering the amount of times Charlotte and Sasha have nearly killed each other

[Brother Leon]

Would be ridiculous considering the constant botches in the Woman division anyway. Not like Sasha is any better on Raw and even Alexa as much as I love her. Bayley is fairly solid, but stale as **** anyway.

[Denver]

It will be good news for Emma though as she is the one rumoured to replace her in a fued with Bayley

[Calderyon]

That first thing looked seriously terrifying. If it was anyone else than Rock´s relative, she would have been sacked or moved to the background.

[Denver]

Apparent Mania plans for next year

The current plan for Raw has been previously reported by numerous sources, that being the controversial, Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar encounter. The SD Live Main Event is set to be AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura.

[Denver]

Also ive hear Rollins was meant to go SD but they changed their minds last minute as they want to reunite The Shield later this year

[Brother Leon]

Apparent Mania plans for next year

The current plan for Raw has been previously reported by numerous sources, that being the controversial, Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar encounter. The SD Live Main Event is set to be AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura.

Both are the right moves to make. Lesnar and Reigns are the biggest or at least strongest guys on the Roster at the moment and AJ v Nakumara will keep the marks happy.

[Denver]

That last match was fantastic people always say giants can't put on great matches well they were proved wrong there

[Denver]

That ring collapsing at the end ��

[Denver]

Queen Alexa :clap1:

[Denver]

MyIiJibxPlI

I love this man and dont get the hate he gets he is certainly capable of putting on great matches

[Brother Leon]

Rosey has passed away :(

I was just watching the Reigns documentary last night on WWE Network and seeing him say how proud he was of his little bro. R.I.P.

[Calderyon]

The ring collapse was one of the only good things last night. The match itself was meh.

Alexa´s winning was nice too.

[Denver]

Our sources report that Jinder Mahal, who was only recently drafted to SmackDown Live!, is booked to win the Six-Pack Challenge on this week’s show. The other contenders for the match which will decide the No. 1 Contender for the WWE World Title held currently by Randy Orton include Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler, Erick Rowan, Luke Harper and Mojo Rawley.

[Jordan.]

Smackdown is cancelled

[Calderyon]

I don´t get it. Jinder Mahal? Really?

[Black Dagger]

lmao what a load of ****e. who reports this stuff.

[Denver]

I mean when did he last win a match

[Jordan.]

Can Charlotte leave Naomi's title reign for a while

[Calderyon]

Next PPV Charlotte wins the title of Naomi.

[Jordan.]

I'm still trying to process Jinder and Mojo being put in the #1 contender match

[Calderyon]

Mojo won ATGMBR match so i understand that, but Jinder...

[Jordan.]

So we're all rooting for Harper?

[Calderyon]

Harper really deserves to win.

[Denver]

Here for Sami Zayn tbh

[Denver]

Screaming at this though hhaah

[Jordan.]

https://i.imgur.com/2g1NBAu.gif

[Denver]

So have the Bolloywood Boyz been called up?

[Denver]

I bet the other girls interfere to make it a fatal 5 way

[Brother Leon]

Jinder jobs to everyone and suddenly gets a world title shot.. :joker:

[Brother Leon]

lmao what a load of ****e. who reports this stuff.

[Jordan.]

Adults that take wrestling that seriously :facepalm:

[Black Dagger]

Oh wow. They actually did it. All for new talent in the main event.

[Calderyon]

Jinder's match against Mojo Rawley last week was Jinder's first televised match on SmackDown since losing to El Torito on May 27, 2014 (which aired on May 30, 2014). Jinder's match last night was his first televised victory on SmackDown since October 9, 2012, when he teamed with Heath Slater to defeat Santino Marella & Zack Ryder.

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2017/0419/625414/interesting-jinder-mahal-stat/

[Denver]

he nly reason he got it is because WWE is gaining alot of fans in India

[Calderyon]

I did think he was only given it to maybe help them grow their Indian market bigger and help their Indian tour later in the year. What better way to help that than have Jinder as a Champion in September.

[BBfanUSA]

Dillinger vs Young on NXT this week is top notch. Great old school cage match.

Also NXT tapings are tonight, and a big indie name makes a cameo in the Women's Battle Royal to decide who faces Asuka at NXT Takeover Chicago

Candice LeRae, Rachel Ellering is in the battle royal as well

Also huge stipulation for the NXT Tag Team Championships

[Jordan.]

The women's division has moved past her, they don't need her messy personal life tarnishing it. So yeah w/e if they release her.

[Calderyon]

She´ll be in IW before long.

[Denver]

Crazzy Steve has left TNA while Low Ki returned and won the X Division Title

[Calderyon]

The women's division has moved past her, they don't need her messy personal life tarnishing it. So yeah w/e if they release her.

They´ll most likely keep her out of WWE TV and on Total Divas until her contract expires and then don´t renew it.

[Denver]

Evan Bourne has signed with TNA

[Calderyon]

Such a good guy with a great attitude.

[Jordan.]

Will look out, have a good time!

[Denver]

Vince is getting a Biopic

[Denver]

Rumours that Charlotte will turn face tonight

[Jordan.]

Would be a bit dumb considering she's in a feud with the top face and works best as a heel.

[Denver]

Would be a bit dumb considering she's in a feud with the top face and works best as a heel.

Apparently they will both be attacked by the 3 women tonight who dont like the fact she got a title shot

[Calderyon]

Please don´t turn Charlotte face, she can´t do it.

[Jordan.]

Breezango!

[BBfanUSA]

By the way, since the crane cam that SD uses is basically by my section. I couldn't use my sign....

SD was a blast, I'll have more in the morning but if you watched 205 Live, I was in the group that pissed off Neville

[Denver]

According to reports from Cageside Seats, the WWE is interested in bringing in up-and-coming wrestlers, namely Crazzy Steve, Gunner, Lio Rush, Donovan Dijak and Kyle O’Reilly. The rumours suggest that all of these wrestlers will be joining the promotion within the next few months.

[BBfanUSA]

Sorry this is a day late but here's a bit of a detailed report of my trip to SD.

They only had the lower bowl open, the seats around the hard cameras weren't even tarped over until like 5 minutes til showtime.

The opening dark match was Mojo vs Aiden, Aiden still had the Vaudevillians titanitron and heel theme. Aiden didn't cut a promo but did sing during a resthold. Mojo won with about 3 minutes to showtime.

Nakamura Ziggler promo was pretty decent

Styles was pretty over, Corbin vs Styles was pretty good. My section was hot all night (I had a floor seat, left side of ramp on TV), We chanted stupid stuff or one line zingers all night, probably the most smarkiest section of the arena. I tried getting a Baron's Balding chant going but while a few people around me laughed, it didn't get going. But throughout the night we got a yell a "Ten" chant every time there wass a two count. More on this later.

The crowd was dead for Colons vs Alpha, I like the Colons titanitron though.

Orton was super over and the No DQ match was fun. I couldn't see the Table bump from my seat and I had to crane my head all the way up to see the spot on the titanitron. Hell most of the match was around the table. I actually really needed to pee and missed like a minute of Mahal's promo, which I totally forgot about and I didn't see him take the title. Nice to see Bollywood Boyz do well though (They're now called the Singh brothers on the Website now)

Didn't really expect Breezdango to win the title shot. Didn't even expect to see the Superkick into a Falcon's Arrow finisher coming. There's a little fun fact about Breezdango winning the title shot, They actually initially formed on SD in the same city during that Golddust/Fandango vs R-Truth/Breeze match.

Naomi's entrance is actually pretty great in person, the arena isn't as dark as you think it is however. I think they use a filter or something. Great Main Event, The heels ran in from the announcer's area

They had like 20 guys working on the ring for the switchover to 205 Live, They get done pretty quickly, the Pyro is LOUD by the way. There was a noticeable amount of people that left after SD ended but not a huge swath of people left.

Swann/Tozawa vs Kendrick/Daivari was a decent opener but I don't remember really anything from it because people who don't usually watch the network kept asking me when are Nakamura and Ziggler coming back out for the main event.

Ali vs Nese was pretty decent. Ali was surprisingly over for a middle american crowd, his swanton off the top post to the floor on Gulak got a great reaction. (Nese won by DQ when Gulak pulled him out of the ring...for some reason, that's why Ali attacked Gulak after)

Neville vs Jack was pretty fun too. This is where my section comes back into play, throughout the night, after every two count we would yell Ten in reference to Dillinger (who didn't show up at all but I saw him at a NXT house show last year). This would eventually get to Neville as he climbed on the top rope and told us to shut up.
Shortly after that I said he looked like an elf and everyone lost it around me. It was perfectly timed. Dunno if that made it on TV. After he won, he looked at our section with disgust and we were chanting Ten right in his face.

Nakamura vs Ziggler was a great dark match but we kept chanting for Mike Chioda during downtime and you could see Chioda was trying not to laugh. There was a couple of funny antics but Ziggler lost when he tried doing Sweet Chin Music, Nakamura countered with a signature and then won with a Kinsasha. Greg, the ring announcer was having fun by this point and joined in with the crowd behind the announcer's desk, for the dark match the crowd was doing some sort of Rock On thing. Wasn't a Too Sweet chant.

Next Friday I have my first indy show, Pro Wrestling Revolver: Pleads The Fifth (Cinco De Mayo Supershow). Plethora of indy guys from all over are on the card. People from as far as England are coming to Iowa for it. (It's on Highspots and they sell DVDs as well, the shows typically are put on Highspots the next day and the DVDs typically are sent out two weeks after, the venue is a small rock theatre/arena)
They've had to make alot of changes (Del Rio was supposed to face Elgin in the main event but pulled out for unspecified reasons, then Eddie Edwards was but had to pull out due to injury and so Davey Richards is taking his place) but the card looks great. I'm nervous and excited for the show at the same time.

[Denver]

857785343210385408

[Jordan.]

So Lesnar isn't defending the title until July lol

[Denver]

It is not Bad Blood its a new PPV Called Great Balls Of Fire :umm2:

[Jordan.]

Ik i just saw that, worst name ever nn

[Denver]

857973196364029952

[Brother Leon]

Great Balls Of Fire



Really though? :joker:

[Denver]

Rumours that when The Hardy's loose they will split and Broken Matt will return and Jeff will get a singles push and will eventually become Universal champion

[BBfanUSA]

Oh my god I'm watching 205 Live this week, I spotted myself on TV and can hear my section do the Ten thing after every two count.

Oh and I'm going to my first indy show this Friday as well. Joey Ryan is on the card so I may somehow become DDT IronmanHeavyMetalWeight Champ too. (Is wrestling Billy Gunn and the assman is ripped as hell)

[Denver]

Shocked Jericho won the title especially with him leaving in the next few weeks

[Jordan.]

Screaming at Jeff botching that finishing spot. Good PPV so far.

[Jordan.]

So can we hope Alexa wins after Sasha finally turns on Bayley

[Jordan.]

A clean win will do :clap1:

[Denver]

So they km are not having Sacha turn heel after all? Why would she attack Bailey when she isn't the champion

[Brother Leon]

Queen Alexa :clap1:
First woman to win both. So happy for her.

Roman stays making people over too.. no one gets over more than when they are facing Reigns and Braun beat the crap out of him too. Won't stop the Roman Reigns agenda online though.

[Brother Leon]

858795197383163904

lol

[Denver]

I honestly think it's safe to say Sasha wont be turning heel

[Calderyon]

[BBfanUSA]

The matchcard for the Indy show I'm going to on Friday...so. many. stars. It's being billed as a Supershow (With alot of First Time Matches)

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C-iJYvpVwAAZHP3.jpg

They've had to change the main event twice because it was originally El Patron vs Elgin, El Patron pulled out (likely because he was losing), then replaced by Eddie Edwards, who hurt his knee, then they just added Davey (Angelina Love might tag along too as valet).

Hopefully no more changes.

[Denver]

Rumours Summer Rae will return tonight

[Calderyon]

Apparently Charlotte´s and Becky´s nudes have leaked and there is a video about Charlotte too.

[Denver]

Asuka will defend her title in a fatal 4 way and there are rumours she will loose the title but keep her record because she wont be pinned or submitted and the move to SD

[Calderyon]

Emma injured again:

I'm sad I should have been at raw today, I hope it sucks

[Jordan.]

Steph was on this morning

[Denver]

Screaming at the randomness

[BBfanUSA]

Steph to show up on Raw tonight?

(also it's the same setup as Glasgow tonight)

[Brother Leon]

According to PWInsider.com, TNA Entertainment has filed trademarks on almost all of the Broken characters, including Broken Matt and Brother Nero for the sake of “ongoing wrestling exhibitions”, which would mean that they could use the characters on other performers if they chose to. There is no word on any kind of potential legal response from WWE or the Hardys themselves.

:(

So much for Broken Hardyz in WWE.

[Denver]

WWE has the money to destroy the case

[Jordan.]

Dates for the november UK tour if anyone is interested

[BBfanUSA]

The indie show I went to this past weekend was cool but there was a couple of cringeworthy moments.

The Venue was a small rock studio with a sold out crowd of about 200 blokes, before the show started you could meet and greet with the wrestlers and buy merch. Sami Callihan, who owns the promotion, was handing out wristbands to ticket holders who ordered via Paypal, I know he's pretty short but I really noticed it in person. Also got to chat with one of the Crist brothers a bit.

Show opened with ACH vs Jason Cade, Hot opener, ACH won

They had a tag team challenge, I didn't recognize most of the teams but the guy who does the Cesaro swing thing on a hoverboard was booked for it. They had 7 teams and started as a team battle royal, couple of great spots like the Hoverboard guy clotheslining everybody on the hoverboard and teams cheating the Battle Royal rules, Hoverboard guy even rode the hoverboard with four teams left but when his tag team partner (Paco Gonzales) was thrown over Paco was knocked into him. I don't know his name because the Ring announcer's mic went out but I think he was trained by Seth Rollins and Marek Brave and does AIW in Chicago. With Three Teams remaining, it became a tornado rules first fall to a finish match, Zero Gravity won.

The 3rd match was Johnny Mundo/John Morrisson as Boone The Bounty Hunter vs Trevor Lee. Mundo was the face and was basically advertising a low budget action movie he's in, came out of humvee that was set up for the show. Midway through the match, Mundo found weed on Trevor, showed it to the ref, and then chased Lee all over ringside and then the venue, eventually headed backstage.

So they started the third match Maxwell Joseph Feinstein (SP?)(Guy with a Jewish businessman gimmick) vs Colt Cabana, had some great comedy spots and midway through, Lee and Mundo found their way back into the ring, only for Mundo to chase Lee outside again, Cabana won. (The Feinstein guy was the heel)

Then they had the AR Fox Open Invitational Scramble, There were two titles on the line, The Revolver Open Scramble Championship and Wrestlecircus Sideshow (It's a 24/7 title but it looks like they have a partnership with WC) which were both owned by AR Fox.
9 other wrestlers took part including Ethan Page, Kevin Thorne/Mordecai, Curt Stallion, Arik Cannon, Space Monkey (Who was very over), David Starr, Myron Reed, and Trey Miguel. First fall to a finish

Match was as good as advertised with tope suicidas practically off the bat, Thorn and Page trying to outdo each other with gorilla pressing guys out of the ring, almost throwing guys at each other, Arik Cannon spitting beer at Page at one point, The action spilled out of the ringside area as all but Ethan Page, Thorn, Space Monkey, and AR Fox spilled out to area in front of the Humvee, it was hard to focus on both the ring and humvee for a second until Trey Miguel gave a Spanish Fly to Myron Reed off the top of the Humvee onto most of the wrestlers by the Humvee.

Then AR Fox and Space Monkey were the last two standing, fought back and forth until AR won with his finisher and retained.

Then afterwards Joey Ryan came out with the DDT Ironheavymetalweight title and challenged Fox to a winner takes all match. Fox accepted and lost pretty quickly to dickflip and ballsplex, Joey now holds all 3 titles.

Show goes to intermission, when the show started again, Mundo chased Lee back to the ring, Mundo does flippy **** and beats Lee with the End of the World then cuts a America **** yeah promo

Next Match out is Manscount Jake Manning vs Sienna/Allysin Kay, Battle of the Sexes, Manscout acted very disinterested in facing Sienna, acting like she wasn't tough, reading a book while blocking moves. Manning won with a dirty rollup pin.

Then Billy Gunn (who came out to Mr. Assman) vs Joey Ryan happened..........It was kinda really awful, Gunn said "Let's get ready to suck it" then reffered to his crotch. Also made a reference to his Billy and Chuck days, which was actually funny. The match itself was for the Sideshow and DDT titles, Joey kept his titles after the ref took a bump and Joey (who was the heel) pulled an Eddie. Billy then hit a fameasser on Joey after Joey started bragging. Joey thanked Billy for the opportunity to face him, sappy promo.

The match of the night came after this match, Keith Lee vs Moose (who came out to his Moose theme and was wearing the Impact Grand Title). Two big hosses going at it. Best spot was Moose hitting a spear and Keith sliding out of the cover at 1 then hitting Moose with a Canadian Destroyer with Moose kicking out at one.

Moose won with a spear and a rainmaker, both guys shook hands after and Moose thanked the fans for coming.

Main event was Davey Richards, Brian Cage, and Micheal Elgin (w/ Angelina Love, she brought their son with, probably right now isn't cost effective to hire a babysitter practically every weekend, I think they live in Chicago which was 3 hrs from the venue) vs Oi4K (Sami Callihan, Dave and Jake Crist w/ their manager) in a tornado Six man. Decent spot fest saved by the Crist brothers bumping like crazy and Elgin. Probably one of the better spots were Callihan locked in a muffler on Cage while Davey had an Ankle Lock on Jake Crist. Another spot was Oi4K getting splashed on the outside by Elgin and Cage repeatedly to the point where the barricade had a massive dent in it at ringside. Davey won it for his team by locking in the Ankle Lock hard on Callihan.

Afterwards there was a sappy promo and Sami thanked the fans for coming.

There was a bit of an afterparty, bought Mystery Vortex IV from the Highspots Table and picked up Revolver's Wrestlecon show before the show as well. The DVDs are crazy expensive. (Revolver was 20 bucks, PWG was 15 for DVDs, 20 for Blurays)

[BBfanUSA]

ROH War of the Worlds Spoilers:

Kenny Omega via video (due to Visa Issues right now which don't allow him to work in the states) fired Adam Cole from the Bullet Club last night after losing to Tanahashi, Marty Scurll has taken Adam's place in the stable. He's basically the ROH's BC leader.

[Calderyon]

Braun Strowman´s injury worse than expected, out for up to six months.

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2017/0515/626187/braun-strowman-out-longer-than-expected/

[Denver]

Well that ****s the story lines up

[Jordan.]

Why did they have Reigns attack him if he is legit hurt, I thought it was a work

[Brother Leon]

Meltzer says injury has been exaggerated and he will still be back for Summerslam. We'll see I guess.

[BBfanUSA]

Welp....Takeover Spoiler
Some woman just said she just got done doing vocals for Johnny Gargano's theme and then took the tweet off twitter.

I wonder if Ciampa turns on Gargano after losing the tag title match.

[BBfanUSA]

So Ciampa hurt his leg at a NXT house show last night, DIY vs AOP was immediately called off and Ciampa rushed to the back on one leg...

I'd imagine they would have someone replace Ciampa because they have no other options really. (AOP and DIY are doing a ladder match at Takeover tomorrow)

[Calderyon]

Lana has angered some of her fellow female superstars:

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2017/0518/626314/lana-likes-comments-made-by-former-wwe-women-champion-on-sasha/

[Jordan.]

Failing to see what was wrong with the tweets she liked. People really gonna get pressed at Alicia getting a win over Sasha after the push she got all of last year?

[BBfanUSA]

HHH in his pre-Takeover Call In Press conference revealed that while Ciampa did hurt himself at a NXT house show last night, it turns out that he only suffered a mild ankle sprain and will be allowed to do the ladder match with Johnny vs AOP if he can play through the injury

[Calderyon]

Failing to see what was wrong with the tweets she liked. People really gonna get pressed at Alicia getting a win over Sasha after the push she got all of last year?

Maybe some jealousy from their part of the fact that Vince likes CJ/Lana more than them?

[Brother Leon]

Lana has angered some of her fellow female superstars:

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2017/0518/626314/lana-likes-comments-made-by-former-wwe-women-champion-on-sasha/

Sasha Banks comes across as a real diva. Apparently she was a bitch to Alexa when she was new, but the rest of the horsewomen tried to look out for her. Lana done nothing wrong here tbh.

[Calderyon]

Maybe Sasha´s head has gotten too big after her championship wins and feud with Charlotte?

Then again all this will make sense if her turn is happening soon.

[Jordan.]

This Tyler/Pete match is outstanding

[BBfanUSA]

Tag Team Ladder match main eventing out of the blue :suspect:

EDIT: Three Tables have been set up by the announcers table, something's happening either in this match or the next

There's the ciampa heel turn, so brilliant that they had us working with the trademark bug in the bottom left corner

I don´t know what to say about that ending. Wrong decision. From a constant jobber to a WWE champion in just a few matches, i really don´t think is the right way to go.

[Brother Leon]

Jinder ****ing Mahal. Unreal LOL

[Denver]

He will lose it to Rusev

[Calderyon]

What about Randy though? He still has his rematch.

I guess they could have a triple threat for the championship with Rusev winning.

[Denver]

Or Randy will lose it either way Rusev is walking out of Summerslam as champion mark my words

[Ramsay]

Jinder :clap1:

[BBfanUSA]

The Women's Tournament is being called the Mae Young Classic officially. Tapings on July 13th and 14th

Also Pro Wrestling Sheet is reporting that MitB this year will include a Women's MitB ladder match but it's still a rumor (Might be announced tonight, could be why there wasn't a post match angle with the women at Backlash)

they have teased a MITB announcement tonight

[Calderyon]

Just a five way match between the five women that were involved in the 6 woman tag.

[Calderyon]

I really don´t see that. At the moment at least. But if it against someone that Rusev could and should win it, it´s Jinder.

It would never happen against Randy though. Or AJ. Or...

[BBfanUSA]

Update:

Next week NXT is doing a UK tour, one of the stops was supposed to be at Manchester Arena, which was the scene of a terrorist attack this past week and is still a crime scene. WWE has cancelled the house show at the location on June 6th, anyone who had a ticket already can get a full refund or swap their ticket for the house show in Leeds the day after.

Instead on June 6th, NXT superstars will be visiting the local hospital and community

[Denver]

Hulk Hogan is close to returning and expected to be on TV by Summer

[Denver]

Rumours that WWE are planning on bring ex female talent back or promoting NXT women for the MITBM

[Denver]

Lana, Ruby Riot and Nikki Bella are rumoured to be part of the match

[michael21]

Hulk Hogan is close to returning and expected to be on TV by Summer

On channel 5 no less cbb

Yeah, sure you are clean Jinder. Almost as much as Ryback himself.

[Denver]

Confirmed


Tamina vs Charlotte vs Becky Lynch vs Carmella vs Natalya in a MITB Ladder match to determine the #1 contender

[Denver]

Although Lana is rumoured to be the 6th women

[Jordan.]

Confirmed


Tamina vs Charlotte vs Becky Lynch vs Carmella vs Natalya in a MITB Ladder match to determine the #1 contender

Nattie deserves it, can see Carmella winning though.

[Denver]

Rumour has it that Big Cass and Enzo will be split and it was Big Cass who attacked Enzo

[BBfanUSA]

Bold Prediction:

Whomever is cashed in on regarding the Women's title, will not be in the MitB match.

And it's not Naomi who's cashed in on but I see her getting cashed in on the Tuesday after but the holder is attacked before the match is official.

Great setup for it, everyone wouldn't let the ref ring the bell.

[Denver]

So here for Lana being champ

[BBfanUSA]

Bray Wyatt is getting a divorce because of a extramartial affair with Jojo, Raw's ring announcer according to the Daily Mail, and Ryan Satin is confirming the divorce part.

But Daily Mail is saying his wife's name is Samantha, but they're using pics of Mika, Bray's sister, as Samantha. :laugh:

[LaLaLand]

Wow it's been a while since I was on here, thankfully back now!

Bray and Jojo!?!? Would never have put those two together in a million years haha wow!

[Novo]

Miz battering the grandfather clock last week was the greatest thing ever

[Jian Yang]

Will anybody on here be attempting Raw tonight?

[Novo]

Probably just watch until Miz and Maryse grace us with their presence do their usual 10/10 segment or Promo then switch off

[Jian Yang]

Maryse is a doll, and The Miz decent.

[Novo]

Raw is Mizzy

[Jian Yang]

I am worryingly in love with Alexa Bliss. She is the main reason i watch RAW. RAW is the BBOTS to Smackdown's HL show imo.

[LaLaLand]

I'll be watching! Emma is due to return tonight (again) so I'll be hooked! What a beautiful specimen

[Jordan.]

[BBfanUSA]

I'm getting a ton of vacation hours at work now that I've settled in.

Might burn them on Mania weekend.

I'm seriously thinking about going but not sure if any of my local mates would go

[Jian Yang]

Mania is top of my bucket list!

[Jian Yang]

Who is this guy, and what is that belt around his waist?

[Jian Yang]

Timing!

[BBfanUSA]

Another superstar is rumored to make a comeback according to various sources,

Paige, who recently said she's taken some x-rays and sent them to WWE.

She kinda does look ripped right now, hopefully all the drama is under the bridge and she doesn't violate the wellness policy

[LaLaLand]

I'd send her to NXT to rebuild herself honestly. There's more than enough potential on both brands now that needs to be tapped in to without more returns.

Could be a blessing for the NXT Women's division that seems to be stale. Hell, even put her in the Women's Tournament.

Same for Summer too.

[Denver]

In B4 she becomes the 6th participant of the MITB ladder match

[Novo]

Never really rated her in the first place

[Denver]

Can we just confirm Lana will win the SD womens title and become the greatest champion ever?

[Jian Yang]

Nope.

[BBfanUSA]

The PWInsider is reporting this:

Mike and Maria Bennett are joining SD this week, will join the tour at MitB this weekend.

There's a small rumor that the woman picked to win at the moment was just added to the match behind the scenes. Which would kinda suck for the five already added if Maria returned and won it but we've also heard that Paige could make a comeback,
or Asuka could be pulling double duty as well so who knows

[Jian Yang]

^ ^

Maria, yes please

[LaLaLand]

Keep her away from the ring fgs. She's an awesome heel valet for Mike and an on screen presence just please don't have her wrestle she's awful.

The first 4 women in the Classic have been confirmed by WWE:

1. Lacey Evans
2. Sarah Logan
3. Toni Storm (New Zealand indie favourite)
4. Princesa Sugehit (Mexican masked Luchadora)

[LaLaLand]

Pro Wrestling Sheet is reporting that WWE is reaching out to a former employee to participate in a potential wrestling redemption story.

According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, WWE has reached out to Serena Deeb, who is technically retired, to compete in this summer’s Mae Young Classic tournament. However, the site reports it’s not a done deal quite yet.

Serena wrestled in OVW from 2005-2009 and won their Women’s Championship six times. She was more famously known, however, for being part of the Straight Edge Society on SmackDown in 2010 — a group that also featured CM Punk, Luke Gallows, and Joey Mercury.

[LaLaLand]

NXT Women’s Champion Asuka will put her coveted title on the line against the crazed Nikki Cross on the June 28 episode of NXT. The title showdown will be a Last Woman Standing Match, further adding to the uncertainty and chaos surrounding the huge championship contest.

The extreme stipulation was a logical next step in Asuka and Cross’s rivalry after the two brawled throughout Full Sail University on the June 14 episode of NXT. Along with Ruby Riot, they competed in a Triple Threat Elimination Match for the NXT Women’s Title. After Riot had been eliminated, Asuka and Cross fought outside the arena, only to return and eventually crash through a table, leaving them laid out in a heap of carnage.

First ever.

MitB spoiler tonight
A fan spotted Maria and Mike at the baggage claim area at the St. Louis airport with Epico last night.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DCkt6I5UwAAeB9Q.jpg

[Denver]

Confirms rumour that Maria wins the MITB Ladder match?

[Novo]

why would she win it though, she is just a manager now is she not? Can't see what he gains from that wwe will surely want the focus to be on him not her

[Denver]

She still wrestles and was TNA Knockouts champ end of last year

[Novo]

Piss break during that match I think

[Brother Leon]

A man grabbing the first ever Women MITB briefcase :joker:

[Denver]

I am so here for these 2

[LaLaLand]

SD! took 10 steps forward booking that match then 20 steps back with that ending.

Fs.

[Brother Leon]

I am so here for these 2

They destroyed Mike Bennett instantly...Cringeworthy stuff.

[LaLaLand]

I'm loving Jinder. Awesome champion.

I agree with above, Mike Bennett is ruined with this gimmick.

[Novo]

Good old Elsworth winning the MITB contract for Carmella whilst self righteous Sasha and Nia moan about it on social media, brilliant stuff.

Mike Bennett and Maria with one of the worst debut segments ever, like a trashy poundshop Miz and Maryse

new day v USOS = Trash, such a travesty that Breeze and Deputy Dango didn't win the titles

Corbs battering Nakamura and then Nakamura returning to the match and Corbs still winning :joker:

Jinder retaining was great though, keep that belt on the maharaja

a 3/10 ppv

Not when Cena is pencilled in to win it this summer

[Denver]

Its was obviously set up for a Becky vs Elsworth match where she will batter him to death

[Jian Yang]

Strange show last night. Thought the women's MITB was fair, nice spot by Charlotte and the match itself was solid. The finish was silly but Carmella ended up with the briefcase so im happy. Uso's/New Day was alright. Bit bored of The New Day, liking The Uso's a lot as heels. I have no idea if the Women's title match was good or not, i was focused on Lana and her dreamy ring gear throughout. Jinder still keeping the title safe for Cena, cool. The match was ok at best. I love Breezango, dunno why, i just do. Thought the men's MITB match was brilliant and wasn't unhappy Corbin won, i can see him holding the briefcase for a while. I would have preferred to see Owens win, he would have sold the **** out of being mr money in the bank but Corbin was my second choice so happy days.

Maria and Mike :hehe:

Overall i thought the show was ok for a B show. 6.5/10

[LaLaLand]

You could see Lana was very green (selling mainly) but she was muuuuch better than I expected her to be.

She'll be great.

[Denver]

She was robbed of the Title best female talent since Lita

[Denver]

Also it is Jinder vs Orton in a Punjabi Prison match at Battleground

[Novo]

She was robbed of the Title best female talent since Lita

Ffs :joker:

[Denver]

You wont be laughing when she retires as the most decorated female in WWE history

[Novo]

Think your getting Charlotte and Lana mixed up here

[Denver]

No Lana is a star in the making she will be champ before xmas

[Denver]

Strowman rumoured to be returning tonight

[Calderyon]

Lana is a star, but in a very different way than wrestling ability. I guess you could say in an adult related way ie: sexually.

Not to say he couldn´t be and she was better than i expected her to be against Naomi.

Former WWE creative writer Vince Russo has filed for an order of protection from Jim Cornette on 6/16 at the Posey County Superior Court in the State of Indiana, alleging that he had been a “victim of stalking” by Cornette. The two have traded many of insults via social media, but, the controversy between the two picked up during an episode of the WWE Network show; “Table For 3”, where Jim Cornette made his “hatred” for Russo public.

Cornette was served with the order at his home in Louisville, KY & he was ordered to stay away from: Vince Russo, Russo’s wife, his home & place of employment.

Im beginning to think their feud is all a work now! :joker:

[LaLaLand]

Five more names confirmed for the Mae Young Classic:

- Tessa Blanchard (Yesss)
- Kimber Lee (now known as Abbey Laith)
- Taynara Conti [Brazil]
- Alpha Female (now known as Jazzy Gabert) [Germany] (Awesome)
- Kavita Devi [India]

They join:

- Lacey Evans
- Sarah Logan
- Toni Storm [New Zealand]
- Princesa Sugehit [Mexico]

This is shaping up to be awesome already. 23 more names to be announced...

[BBfanUSA]

Redoing a whole MitB ladder match with the same participants seems pointless unless there's a swerve next week. (Someone is taken out and is replaced, the replacee wins the case)

Feels pointless to have Carmella win again really.

[BBfanUSA]

Lana has another title shot in a couple weeks, it's not going to be her.

[Denver]

Lana has another title shot in a couple weeks, it's not going to be her.

Then Maria is coming or Maybe Paige? Paige has actually been cleared to return

[Jian Yang]

WWE won't let Maria wrestle, she's 10 years removed from wrestling the 'wwe way', and even then she was bad. I know she's improved in ROH over the years, but even ex male ROH world champions like Bryan and Rollins had to start in NXT. Paige is a possibility though, can't say i would mind!

[Denver]

I wouldnt rule out Asuka

[Denver]

Awesome Kong elucidated on her discussions with Triple H, prior to her departure from WWE, stating, "I can only speculate, but I would think Kharma had a 99.9 percent chance of a title run and then my hope was to bring in a new girl and make a super face who is going to topple Kharma. That was my goal and that was something Triple H and I talked about bringing in a girl for a program and making her a super face and us all making money.” “We never talked about who that would've been, we didn't get that far. I left during my honeymoon with the company.”
