[Jordan.]

Hope not, I want someone to hold the briefcase for a while.

Here for it being first though before GOT starts.

[LaLaLand]

"Mandy in the Bank" is here :clap2:

[Liam-]

Starting the show with a bang with a Sasha return and win would be lovely

[Denver]

Starting the show with a bang with a Sasha return and win would be lovely

Sasha is not gonna be involved apparently that's why they had Nikki drafted in and nit her

[LaLaLand]

Sasha is not gonna be involved apparently that's why they had Nikki drafted in and nit her

Nah Alexa had another [mild] concussion apparently. Docs won't clear her to compete, wouldn't be surprised to see her in a permanent non-wrestling role soon like Paige.

[Liam-]

Sasha to attack Dana backstage and take her rightful place as Miss Money in the Bank :flutter:

[Denver]

Yes but Sasha wasnt even part of discussion according to Meltzer

[LaLaLand]

If anyone shouldn't be in this match it's Carmella let's be honest.

[Denver]

Sasha to attack Dana backstage and take her rightful place as Miss Money in the Bank :flutter:

Dana deserves it more

She does twice as much training as the rest
She always turns up early to help set up
She never throws tantrums
She is one of the nicest people to be around
She has put up with a lot of **** and got attacked for trying to help Sasha

[Liam-]

How could you possibly know any of that?

She can’t wrestle, can’t talk on the mic, she’s lucky she’s still employed imo.

[LaLaLand]

I'm still totally dumbfounded as to why they didn't put Sonya in the match. She's ace!

[Jordan.]

Shook at cruiserweights on the main card

[LaLaLand]

Was just thinking the same Jordan! First ever!!

[BBfanUSA]

Rumours that the Womens MITB is opening so a cash in confirmed?

They usually open MitB with a ladder match, wouldn't look too much into it

[LaLaLand]

Aw Ashley <3

[Jordan.]

</3

[LaLaLand]

Not Naomi having to enter on the pre-show then wait around for 10 minutes :laugh2:

[LaLaLand]

Mella's blonde again :love:

[Jordan.]

Any of Nikki/Dana/Ember :fc:

[LaLaLand]

OMG what if tonight's when Sonya finally turns on Mandy! Didn't think!

[Denver]

How could you possibly know any of that?

She can’t wrestle, can’t talk on the mic, she’s lucky she’s still employed imo.

Because all the reliable journalists said and she can wrestle but is always used as a jobber

[Jordan.]

If Bayley wins I know they're only doing it to have a dig at Sasha :skull:

[Liam-]

Why is Naomi dressed like a bee?

[Liam-]

Ember, Mandy or Nikki pls

[Jordan.]

Mella injured? She legit told Mandy to go away lmao

[Liam-]

Literally chopped her in the throat :skull:

[Jordan.]

Dana taking BUMPS hardcore legend

[LaLaLand]

Omg this is awesome! Dana!!!!

[Liam-]

Ember really is that chick

[Jordan.]

EMBER

[LaLaLand]

Is this a joke?

....... PAM?????!!!!!!!!!! Of all people! :omgno:

[Jordan.]

Lol knew it a petty "screw you sasha" moment

[Denver]

Bayley was the one of the worse champs in recent history yet they are pretty much gonna Gove her another run

[Liam-]

Oh **** off

[Jordan.]

Ugh I wanted Sonya to throw Mandy off at the top of the ladder would have been lit

[Jordan.]

No one is here for this

[Liam-]

Literally the most overrated person on the roster

[Denver]

They said the MITB will give people opportunity whi never get the chance at the title

-gives it to a former champ and tag team champ-

[Jordan.]

I only remember Ember's eclipse, highlight of the match

[LaLaLand]

I'm fuming like but happy that Ember, Dana, Nikki and Mandy got this chance to shine.

Awful winner.

[Liam-]

Rey’s son with that ‘I wanna see the manager’ haircut

[Liam-]

Joe needs to be put back into the main even scene, he’s wasted in the mid card

[Denver]

I guess it could work if she crashes in on Becky and loses? She doesnt have the personality to carry off a long stretch with it as she proved with the Womens titles

[Liam-]

That.. was a choice

[Jordan.]

Bayley cashing in and Sasha stopping her is what we deserve :eyes:

[LaLaLand]

Why does Joe bleed like every single week?

[Jordan.]

Can this feud end now I'm over the 2 minute matches

[LaLaLand]

Bayley cashing in and Sasha stopping her is what we deserve :eyes:

Okay I'm here for this!

I want heel Bayley though!!

[Liam-]

**** Dominic up while you’re at it

[Denver]

Rey is the latest grand slam champ which is great

[Denver]

I heard that Rey wants to face Dom in a match for his mask and lose so he can pass it over

[Jordan.]

I heard that Rey wants to face Dom in a match for his mask and lose so he can pass it over

Fff

[Liam-]

I’m so over Braun’s backstage tantrums, let him do something decent or nothing at al

[Denver]

I’m so over Braun’s backstage tantrums, let him do something decent or nothing at al

They built him up to be a powerful champ then pulled the trigger for no reason which proves the point they dont k ow how to book big men

[Denver]

Is the womens match worth watching? I literally got home and not sure whether to catch it from the start or not

[Liam-]

They built him up to be a powerful champ then pulled the trigger for no reason which proves the point they dont k ow how to book big men

He’s getting the Big Show treatment and we all know how that turned out

[Liam-]

I might be on my own here, but I really want to see The Miz as world champ again before he retires :worry:

[Denver]

I might be on my own here, but I really want to see The Miz as world champ again before he retires :worry:

I guess he will be as he is fairly young still and has another 10 years unless he suffers a bad injury but I want to see new champe made but not Drew please

[Jordan.]

I might be on my own here, but I really want to see The Miz as world champ again before he retires :worry:

I think we're ALL here for this :clap1:

[LaLaLand]

Agreed!

[Liam-]

I guess he will be as he is fairly young still and has another 10 years unless he suffers a bad injury but I want to see new champe made but not Drew please

Drew will be a great champion

I think we're ALL here for this :clap1:

King.

A reality show reject becoming a future Hall of Famer, that’s the true Hollywood dream

[Liam-]

There’s something oddly satisfying about seeing a McMahon get duffed up

[Jordan.]

Rope break in a cage match :skull:

[LaLaLand]

Is Bray gonna return tonight or tomorrow do we think?

[Liam-]

Tomorrow I’d imagine

[Liam-]

Ffs :joker:

[LaLaLand]

Omg :laugh3:

[Liam-]

New title? Hardcore or leave it

[LaLaLand]

PLEASE be 24/7 rule Hardcore!

[Liam-]

Wait, the cruiserweights are on the main show? :omgno:

[LaLaLand]

The arena is very empty if you look around during entrances, barely full rows :skull:

Look now the announcers are talking, all those empty blue seats!! :omgno:

[Liam-]

Tony Nese is a bit good isn’t he

[Denver]

If its Mick Foley its defo a hardcore title

[Jordan.]

The arena is very empty if you look around during entrances, barely full rows :skull:

Look now the announcers are talking, all those empty blue seats!! :omgno:

Thrones finale impact

[LaLaLand]

Wouldn't be surprised if people walked out after Bayley's win, same old **** :laugh2:

[Denver]

What if it's the Wildcard Title to be defended on any show? Seems like a Vince type of idea

[Denver]

I think they should have a womens midcard title

[LaLaLand]

I think they should have a womens midcard title

They struggle booking the ones they've got for the women, especially the tag titles as of late, no more!

24/7 Hardcore [Intergender] Title would be brilliant :cheer2:

[Denver]

They struggle booking the ones they've got for the women, especially the tag titles as of late, no more!

24/7 Hardcore [Intergender] Title would be brilliant :cheer2:

I just think it would help women like Nikki, Dana, Lana to have titles runs and learn a lot before they take the big titles and see if the crowd like them

[Liam-]

Do you think Bray hung Zayne up?

[Denver]

Dont get me wrong I would love a hardcore title but it doesnt make sense with the pg situation

Also it doesnt make sense after Dean Ambrose leaves as this would have been his perfect title

[LaLaLand]

Dont get me wrong I would love a hardcore title but it doesnt make sense with the pg situation

Also it doesnt make sense after Dean Ambrose leaves as this would have been his perfect title

That's probably the reason they're doing it, they're THAT petty.

[Denver]

Do you think Bray hung Zayne up?

Actually Bray enter the MITB match would be amazing

[LaLaLand]

Do you think Bray hung Zayne up?

:shocked::omgno:

[Liam-]

Unless it’s the biggest swerve ever and Dean hasn’t left, he’s just coming back as Jon Moxkey!

[Denver]

Unless it’s the biggest swerve ever and Dean hasn’t left, he’s just coming back as Jon Moxkey!


But I would they let him have full creative control? Because he wants that as a wrestler

[Liam-]

I ****ing love Lacey

[LaLaLand]

Best. Entrance. Ever!

[Liam-]

But I would they let him have full creative control? Because he wants that as a wrestler

Because Jon Moxley on a brutal run as Hardcore champion would be totally worth it

[Jordan.]

Screaming

[Liam-]

She’s gonna lose to Charlotte isn’t she?

[Denver]

I cant wait for our Bex to be the cover star of WWE 2k20

[Denver]

Because Jon Moxley on a brutal run as Hardcore champion would be totally worth it

I do remember rumours that Fox wanted an Attitude type era and WWE defo needs to enter a brand new era

[Liam-]

Lacey is a scream how can people not like her

[Liam-]

The fact that this is Lacey’s second televised match since being called up

[Denver]

Queen Becky

[Denver]

Its unbelievable that this time last year Becky was bottom of the pile now she is Queen of the world

[Denver]

Are they ****ing serious?

[LaLaLand]

Bayley's gonna cash in right?

[Denver]

Like why do they wank over her so much?

[Liam-]

It was inevitable, they couldn’t keep Becky on both shows, now their rivalry is over as they’re on different show’s, it makes perfect sense for the story, Becky can eat a loss and lose no momentum

[Denver]

Bayley's gonna cash in right?

Rather her then Charlotte again imo

[Denver]

Yes Bayley

[Liam-]

Like why do they wank over her so much?

She’s the best female wrestler in the company

[Denver]

Why am I rooting Bayley to win the title

[Liam-]

I hope she loses

[Liam-]

Ew

[Denver]

Yesss girl

[Denver]

I predicted a cash in

[LaLaLand]

https://media1.tenor.com/images/8066c5b9d9d6033a084be645e434be7d/tenor.gif?itemid=9582984

[Liam-]

Two same night cash ins in a row is a bit anticlimactic

[Liam-]

Does Charlotte hold the record for most woman’s championships now?

[Denver]

Does Charlotte hold the record for most woman’s championships now?

She does but she has a long way to go for the 7 reigns with 1 title

[Jordan.]

I can't be mad at Bayley saving us from another Charlotte reign tbh

[LaLaLand]

Sasha @ home rn:

https://media1.giphy.com/media/3o9bJX4O9ShW1L32eY/giphy.gif

[Liam-]

Elias is my problems sneaking up on me

[Denver]

It's hilarious how Sasha quit because her and Bayley were not taken seriously a month later Bayley is SD womens champ

[Liam-]

Sasha is blatantly gonna come back and feud with her for the title

[Denver]

I just dont see the point in the 4 minute Charlotte reign? Bayley could have cashed in mid match or turned heel and attacked Becky, was just another push at making Chatlotte a 16x champ by next year

[Denver]

I just realised Bayley is the first ever WWE womens triple champion

[Liam-]

Because it made the most sense to do it that way, keeping Bayley the big face of smackdown would have been impossible if she cashed in on Becky, having Charlotte take it so Bayley can take it off her was the best way to do it

[Denver]

Everytime the title was cash in on the SD title Charlotte was the champion

[Liam-]

Mitb is main eventing? :suspect:

[LaLaLand]

Or Kofi vs. Kev?

[Liam-]

Oh yeah, forgot about them

[Denver]

Mitb is main eventing? :suspect:

Yes and there will most likely be a big finish which will either involve Braun or Bray, j know there was the rumour Braun would help a face win the title but who knows

[Denver]

1130103180530991105

No looks like the men are closing

[Liam-]

That inverted superplex is terrifying

[LaLaLand]

We BETTER get Sarah joining TVR here!!!

Oop nevermind.

[JerseyWins]

Forgot about this but decided to put it on now.

Also: I like Bayley but she won the MITB and cashed in tonight? :skull: Hmmm idk if I like that.

Also, 3 luchas??? Who are the other 2 besides Kalisto?

[LaLaLand]

Forgot about this but decided to put it on now.

Also: I like Bayley but she won the MITB and cashed in tonight? :skull: Hmmm idk if I like that.

Also, 3 luchas??? Who are the other 2 besides Kalisto?

Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado.

You also have Sin Cara, a 4th lucha. And Rey 5th of course.

[Liam-]

I’m in the minority, but I’m still not convinced by Kofi as the main guy tbh

[LaLaLand]

Nah same here Liam. I like him, but I feel he just doesn't quite fit being top-tier. IC/US title absolutely, but not this.

[Liam-]

Nah same here Liam. I like him, but I feel he just doesn't quite fit being top-tier. IC/US title absolutely, but not this.

Yeah, it was a great WM moment, but it just doesn’t feel right, he’s seriously lacking in star power on his own imo

[JerseyWins]

I actually kinda agree, and I like The New Day (even specifically Kofi) a lot. The star power just isn't there. I also would've preferred to see The New Day turn on him at WM for a bigger screwjob moment. I feel like they could've been drawing more with that really.

[LaLaLand]

Loving Kofi's Jean Michel Basquiat attire though!!

[LaLaLand]

Nooo Zelina come back I wanted some Lita-esque stuff from you!

[Denver]

Ali or Ricochet for me

[LaLaLand]

Oh my God

[Denver]

Ali is amazing and deserves a massive push

[LaLaLand]

Finn's poor back after this match!

[Denver]

So are we getting interference?

[Denver]

Brock Lesnar ?

[Denver]

Why do they keep having him win stuff

[LaLaLand]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

[Denver]

And they wonder why the fans are pisse off

[JerseyWins]

HOWLING @ them giving the MITB to Lesnar :skull: omg

[Denver]

It's obvious he is cashing in on Kofi though

[JerseyWins]

That's soooooooo pointless and gonna get fans revolting but wow that's funny to me :joker:

And I love Brock so pretty happy with it :clap1:

[Denver]

I am sure he will lose to Rollins at Showdown then cash in on Kofi

[LaLaLand]

I really didn't see that coming and I should have :joker:

[Liam-]

Nodded off for 5 minutes, woke up to Lesnar on top of a ladder, thoughg i was hallucinating :joker:

That’s such dumb booking it’s ridiculous, but completely believable by Vince’s standards

[Denver]

Like from what I gather very few fans love Brock and he has very little in ring skills and does the same like 5 moves so why does Vince always suck him off

[Denver]

Stunts like this is what AEW capitalise on and if they get it right Vince is ****ed

[Denver]

You would be pissed off of you were the other 7, putting their bodies on the line for that to happen just shows they are not respected

[RileyH]

Why the **** have they made Bayley champion

[RileyH]

Hope this tired ass company ROTS

[Calderyon]

Lol at the results. Didn´t watch the PPV and very glad i didn´t.

[Braden]

bayley in the bank was a seriously boring and predictable outcome and i'm not saying that as someone who was spoiled on what would happen seconds into watching the ppv . the women's money in the bank match was underwhelming, and i feel like most of the women were not utilised well enough. the only two (maybe three) good moments were: ember eclipsing off the ladder, mandy seemingly damaging carmella's knee, and sonya hauling mandy over her shoulders and climbing the ladder to help her retrieve the briefcase.

the lacey/becky match was the highlight of the card for me. i'm totally behind lacey as a heel now - she plays her character perfectly, and i loved her entrance. charlotte winning the title was fine because it was obvious what was going to happen next. i've never been a fan of bayley and kinda hate her gimmick a lot, so never got behind her but it was fun to see the crowd rally and cheer her on. it's also good in terms of helping more storylines develop and having more women shine, since becky having both belts stifled that a little bit. hopefully it's not just bayley vs charlotte for the next god knows how many more months.

men's money in the bank was quite good but the ending was laughable. i kind of loved it in a way because it just puts more heat on brock.

all in all, a bit of a disappointing ppv for a type that i normally enjoy.

[Denver]

I just have a feeling this new title will be the Wildcard title as I dont see them going back to a Hardcore Title when they dont even have Hardcore Matches anymore,

Although I wouldnt be surprised to see a TV Title

[Liam-]

I must have dozed off through it, so only saw it this morning, that sunset flip spot onto the ladder was incredible, Finn’s back must be in agony today :omgno:

[Braden]

also, as sick as it sounds samoa joe looked quite hot with blood gushing from his nose. him and kevin owens are daddy af.

[Jordan.]

Just caught up and what a ****ing insult to everyone in the mens match :facepalm:

[Denver]

Apparently it's going to be a Legends Title

[Liam-]

Apparently it's going to be a Legends Title

They’re gonna have Goldberg hold it aren’t they

[LaLaLand]

Apparently it's going to be a Legends Title

What's the bloody point?

Typical Vince logic! Low ratings = get a "legend" on the show so massively bombed ratings = let's create a title for them to fight over every week!!11!!1

I read an article last night that had snippets from an interview/call-in from a WWE writer (current or ex idk, probably ex) who was really candid about what's going on backstage with everything, will try and find it.

[LaLaLand]

Oh here it is, bit of a long read but VERY interesting. Fuels the rumours of late about how Vince and HHH are at loggerheads:

The stories we’ve heard about people being frustrated with Vince McMahon have been confirmed by many people in the company and it’s no secret that wrestlers are looking at their options when their contracts expire.

Some of the usual stories (and some new ones) were confirmed on Wade Keller’s Pro Wrestling Post-Show when a close friend of three WWE writers called into his show after Monday Night Raw. It’s very clear that the buck stops with Vince McMahon and it doesn’t look like real change is coming anytime soon.

Here are things said on the podcast by the close friend of three current WWE writers:

– WWE’s problems are not the fault of the writers. “No one should rip on WWE creative. They have some of the most brilliant, unbelievable cool ideas that I’ve ever heard…” He was told, “We’re writing for an audience of one and never forget that [and if not] you’re out of here.”

– “The most frustrated person in the back every single night is Triple H. He’ll always take, especially the NXT guys, under his wing. It looks like he’s consoling them. It looks so much like he was the most frustrated person in the building every single night.”

– The Wild Card Rule was not in the script on the morning of the show.

– The Superstar Shake-Up changed week to week and it didn’t pan out how it was originally laid out months prior. Everything changed because Vince just decided to change it.

– He talked about the turnover with so many backstage people quitting or being fired.

– SmackDown and Raw writing teams are the same for both shows. They used to be separate but that changed recently after the Shake-Up.

– The caller emphasized that the problems in WWE are not creative’s fault and Vince McMahon is the one person who deserves the blame.

– Vince wants suggestions from everyone but it never gets on TV. 99 out of 100 times you can come up with an idea for Vince and it won’t be used.

– The entire creative team has pitched to have Raw and SmackDown look completely different with different production, a different way of shooting things, etc. and McMahon shoots it down.

– Vince McMahon doesn’t keep track of what is going on with NXT. He “maybe” watches Takeover shows.

– The writers say he just watches WWE and works out and is not aware of things going on in the real world.

– The writers say there is no chance of Vince stepping down.

– Dana Brooke has been the hardest worker for the last 3 years. She goes to the Performance Center, she shows up early and helps set up the ring and she gets in the ring so she can get better. Creative will pitch something for her and she gets nothing up until recently with MITB.

– The caller offered to tell Wade Keller off the air of some cool storylines that were pitched and never used.

– The writer he talked to said, “we’re all working for Dana Warrior and it’s really awkward.”

– The WWE-Fox contract prohibits Fox from moving the show to FS1 even if the ratings drop.

– One writer is very close to quitting because he is so “unbelievably unhappy” and many of the writers are paranoid and think they are close to being fired.

– “It’s such a toxic atmosphere and it’s all because of one person.”

– When Neville walked out, there was a crazy shouting match and he flipped out on Vince McMahon and that was the last time they saw him. The writers praised Neville for being so easy to work with.

– Ideas never pan out as originally planned because writers will come up with stuff and then Vince loses interest after a week or two. He used Mojo Rawley as an example.

– The money is good and it’s a dream job for many writers but it gets frustrating. The talent is very unhappy and people are trying to get out of their contracts.

– The writers say Bruce Prichard is a pleasure to work with. “He’s a funny guy and a pleasure to work with but he’s not getting through to Vince either.”

– Shane McMahon, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have tried to talk to Vince but it hasn’t worked.

– The people on the writing staff listens to podcasts and they hear fans bashing them. “It breaks their heart,” he said.

– Vince is in the announcer’s ear “to a sentence” and he gets on them for tiny mistakes.

– On Sami Zayn: “That’s not Sami Zayn’s promos. That’s Vince McMahon talking through Sami Zayn.”

– There are 37 total writers and they are now working on both shows.

– NBCUniversal and FOX both want the top stars.

– Andrade went into Vince’s office and asked for a legit push. Vince looked at him and said, “learn some English and get back to me.” Andrade spoke some English last week and he’s been taking English lessons.

– The Firefly Fun House stuff is all Bray Wyatt’s idea. Bray is described is an “absolute genius” and he helps other wrestlers with their promos. “He’s one of the best guys in the locker room.”

– The writers he talked to say they loved when there was a real brand split.

– He mentioned The Revival/Usos storyline being done because Vince just thinks its funny.

– Some of the writers think Road Dogg will eventually end up in AEW. (Note: Road Dogg is currently on hiatus and there’s no word on when he will be back or what he would be doing if he returns).

[Denver]

HHH will be the best thing to ever happen to WWE

[Denver]

Apparently everyone backstage including Ali were told Ali was winning MITB and he was booked to win it until last week

[JerseyWins]

Apparently it's going to be a Legends Title
:skull:

I was hoping it would be a rebranded Hardcore title :(


As for Lesnar... maybe they'll just have him lose the MITB soon / at some point? But I mean probably not and it'd still be a bit pointless :laugh:

[JerseyWins]

Honestly, I love the way Vince books things. :clap1: Always have. Mostly from back in the day but I still do. You can't always give the fans what they want, it would get boring and old. And some of the ways he pisses off fans is actually greeeat for drama in the company.

[Liam-]

It would never get boring to have decently booked wrestling to watch :joker:

He books himself in circles, he moans that the ratings are going down, does a few weeks of alright booking, then does something to purposely piss us off for not watching, the ratings go back down, then he moans again, repeat time after time, that’s how we end up with things like the wildcard rule, he’s out of his depth these days, Trips needs to take over asap.

[Calderyon]

HHH will be the best thing to ever happen to WWE

What if Vince changes his will and makes Shane the sole heir? Or divides it fifty-fifty between Shane and Stephanie?

[Denver]

So the new title is expected to have the same expects as the Hardcore title but wont be called the hardcore title,

A match can take place anywhere at anytime as long as a ref is present

[Denver]

One rumour was that it would be Goldberg vs Undertaker for the Legends title which kind of made sense but the hardcore style title is from a more reliable source
So the new title is expected to have the same expects as the Hardcore title but wont be called the hardcore title,

A match can take place anywhere at anytime as long as a ref is present

[Black Dagger]

I'd much rather the 24/7 title when the Network exists and Twitter and YouTube have such a prominence for them.

But I think at this stage it's going to be the legends one. Hence a legend presenting it.

[Denver]

Why do I feel Kofi is losing the title tonight?

[JerseyWins]

:skull:

I was hoping it would be a rebranded Hardcore title :(
So the new title is expected to have the same expects as the Hardcore title but wont be called the hardcore title,

A match can take place anywhere at anytime as long as a ref is present
Oh yeeees, that's exactly what I want to see. It makes sense with Foley presenting it too that's why I was thinking this. :fc:

When are they gonna reveal? End of show?

[Denver]

The new title is called The 24/7 Championship and will be very similar to the hardcore title rules

[JerseyWins]

Cheesy name :skull: But here for the title rules / being just like the Hardcore title

[JerseyWins]

I love when my grandma watches wrestling :joker: Sometimes (like now) I'll put it on in the living room area and she'll want to watch.. she never knows anyone going into a show (maybe a few big stars she'll remember - like John Cena back in the day) but she HATES the Revival right now. She watches wrestling at face value as if it's real, so she hates the ones that make the cheap shots and wrestle dirty or really aggressively against their opponent. She's legitimately MAD @ how the Revival are wrestling in this match lmaooo.

If my grandma hates them, I pretty much know WWE is booking them properly as heels in a match :fan: If my grandma hates the face, they're kinda not booking them right lol.

[Brother Leon]

Just bring back the Hardcore title and keep the name ffs. Great idea though. Especially in the social media era

[JerseyWins]

A segment with:

Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, The IIconics & Lacey Evans :flutter: (don't care for Nikki tbh oop)

[Denver]

We want Becky and Nicky as Tag Champs

[LaLaLand]

That's ugly AF omg

[JerseyWins]

That's ugly AF omg
This :joker:

Other than that I'm STANNING this moment/title though :clap1:

[Denver]

The 24/7 title will be defended on every single roster

[Jordan.]

Jesus christ I saw the green strap and was feeling hopeful but nope AWFUL

[Denver]

Of all people they have Titus Oniel as first champ

[JerseyWins]

Bobby Roode new champ tho ROFL :laugh3:

I seriously love the Hardcore title concept. Hopefully it doesn't get stale like the original one did though. But it should all be fresh now at least for a little while :clap1:

[Denver]

I hope the women are eligible

[LaLaLand]

This is gonna be so much fun though!

[Denver]

I'm expecting at least 6 or 7 changes tonight with half of them on social media

[Denver]

It's interesting how he said legends could hold it so j guess the obvious legends like Booker T, Lita, Beth Pheonix, Jeff Jarrett, Kurt Angle, HBK, etc will probaly hold it at some point seeing as they are always around on WWE TV

[Jordan.]

Why have the graphics and arena lighting changed all of a sudden :suspect: Like it though looks old school RAW.

[Denver]

We love R Truth as champ

[JerseyWins]

Lol R-Truth new champ :clap1:

Why have the graphics and arena lighting changed all of a sudden :suspect: Like it though looks old school RAW.
I noticed that too, I like it a lot :clap1:

[Denver]

Sonya has thrown her hat in the ring for the 24/7 title so has Cathy Kelley

[Calderyon]

That title looks awful and cheap.

[Jordan.]

so has Cathy Kelley

Bye

[LaLaLand]

So for this to work properly/effectively, at the end of every RAW a SD! superstar has to win it, and at the end of SD! a RAW superstar has to win it?

K.

[Denver]

So for this to work properly/effectively, at the end of every RAW a SD! superstar has to win it, and at the end of SD! a RAW superstar has to win it?

K.

But then there is 205 live, NXT and NXTUK

[Black Dagger]

So for this to work properly/effectively, at the end of every RAW a SD! superstar has to win it, and at the end of SD! a RAW superstar has to win it?

K.

Not necessarily lol. They can easily have changes in random places. Creative and talent can do so much

Yeah if Vince allows it, this is the problem.

[Liam-]

I don’t think i’ll be able to handle all of the backstage segments of the jobbers chasing each other around the arena

[Denver]

Nobody asked for Dolph Ziggler to return

[Jordan.]

i thought he was actually gone this time smh

[Denver]

Mess at them trying to make Kofi neck injury look serious but have not put a NECK brace on him

[LaLaLand]

Rumour roundup:-

- Ruby Riott has had successful shoulder surgery.

- Kevin Owens has flat-out refused to do the Super Showdown, probably in solidarity for his BFF Sami Zayn.

- Aleister Black will NOT be there either in Saudi Arabia because of his tattoos.

As for Aleister’s absence, Dave Meltzer at the Wrestling Observer reports that WWE decided not to take him, because so many of his tattoos have religious connotations. That does make some amount of sense, considering that his entire back is covered by a portrait of Lilith, a demonic figure from mythology who rebelled against God and was cast out of Paradise because she refused to be subservient to men.

:cheer2:

[Denver]

So the Sun are reporting AEW will be on ITV4 and they plan to capitalise on the poor deal made by WWE by holding PPVs in the UKq

[LaLaLand]

Anyone here going to be watching AEW tonight besides me?

[Denver]

I'm not sure if I can be bothered to find a stream

[Denver]

The 1st hour is free on ITV4

[Denver]

On now

[Denver]

They are really desperate for UK fans to love it, all they mention is ITV and not the other Broadcaster

[LaLaLand]

Awesome Kong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LaLaLand]

Omg the symbolism of this!

Shots FIRED

[LaLaLand]

Dustin is bleeding so heavily, jeez

[LaLaLand]

This is just amazing.

[LaLaLand]

I honestly can't see how any UK fans who have paid for this and are (like me) staying up through the night watching won't love it, it's been absolutely epic from the start. ITV should have struck gold here!

Sadly, it also makes WoS look really poor...

[LaLaLand]

Jon Moxley!!!!

Omg what an end to a stellar show, 10/10 all night. WOW!

[JerseyWins]

Wait a minute, AEW started already? :o They had their first PPV or...?

[Denver]

Jon Moxley has signed a multi year contract with AEW, now that is a fantastic signing

[Denver]

After last night it just proves AEW can stand up to WWE, it was trending all night in the UK

[Jordan.]

Ugh seen spoilers but perched to watch

[Denver]

Awesome Kong and Jon Moxley are 2 major acquisitions

I am surprised WWE never as Awesome Kong back as she is a true monster heel.

I'm glad Jon will finally be allowed to return to his Hardcore roots

[LaLaLand]

Yeah their first official PPV "Double or Nothing" last night in Vegas, 10K+ people, sold out, amazing show I'd recommend watching if you can. A real "wrestling show".

Another PPV next month I believe and also a new weekly show starting too. It was honestly epic.

Is Kong actually signed? It seemed like she didn't get too involved in the match last night so it made me think it was just a one-time thing, looks like she had some rust but was in great shape! Would love her to be signed though.

Well I'm guessing it would depend on GLOw but if she wanted a contract with them I'm certain they would give her one

[LaLaLand]

Gotta say too the Japanese women's match was incredible, some amazing talent there from all six women.

Kylie Rae, though I thought she was just Bayley 2.0, blew me away! SO fast!

[Denver]

I love how they put the surprise element in there

I dont think anyone expectlu Moxley to turn up at all

She hinted at being signed as she said she will make her schedule work

[LaLaLand]

Kong/Moxley had the biggest pops of the night without a doubt (wrestler-wise, excluding the obvious sledgehammer to Hunter's throne) and I didn't expect either of them to be there, I'd actually thought Kong had retired a few years ago!

So excited for the future.

Has HHH, any of the McMahons etc Tweeted anything since last night re: the show?

[Denver]

Tbh I think they spent the whole of today crying

[LaLaLand]

:joker::joker::joker: Would not be surprised!

"Piss-ant company" I think it was wasn't it?... Oops...

[LaLaLand]

Also got to love Bret Hart appearing, he's literally still taking any opportunity he can to "screw Vince" in some way, shape or form! :joker:

[Denver]

Last night went way better then expected and it had all 10 spits in the UK Twitter trends which is a great sign and alot of people were talking about it

[Denver]

They must be pissed off at 2 wrestlers they treated like **** getting the biggest pops

Yes I like that match but lol at them ringing the bell on a 2 count

[LaLaLand]

Intrigued for RAW tonight yano. Wouldn't surprise me if there's a few digs/chants at AEW.

[Denver]

Jon Moxley is also doing NJPW

[LaLaLand]

Vince is reportedly furious with Superstars who tweeted about AEW.

Can see it being an awkward day at work for Renee Young today, too.

Brilliant he can't punish them either because it'll just result in more jumping ship :skull:

[LaLaLand]

WOW what a ratings winner - Brock dancing with an actual boombox MITB case followed by the most irrel member of New Day and Dolph "should have been released long ago" Ziggler fighting in the crowd.

Seems like desperation to me.

[Denver]

AEW will be on top aslong as Vince is still in charge, he knows **** all about modern wrestling

[Jordan.]

Almost the full hour an there still hasn't been a match :skull:

[Jordan.]

AEW and this is awful chants started
