All Things Wrestling V

[Black Dagger]

I'm crying. Jericho has had the AEW title stolen.

[Denver]

Vince will do anything to stop AEW being a success huh

[Liam-]

I'm crying. Jericho has had the AEW title stolen.

‘He’ll bring prestige and honour to the title!’

3 days later he’s left it in the back of a limo while he’s on the town

[Denver]

After them attacking Charlotte it adds extra weight to the tag match as Charlotte will most likely turn face in her home state

[Denver]

A big draft is scheduled for the 11th and 15th of October which will end the wild card rule for good

[Braden]

Nice. Hope that's true.

[michael21]

I'm crying. Jericho has had the AEW title stolen.

R-Truth think it's the 24/7 title :laugh:

[Denver]

Apparently NXT will be part of the draft with them losing but also gaining stars

[Denver]

Chad Gable is the one who is apparently winning KOTR

[Liam-]

Chad Gable is the one who is apparently winning KOTR

Good, he’s great

[Denver]

Good, he’s great

I agree he is a great wrestler but he is very random after being a jobber for a few years but I guess this is Heyman/Bischoff pushing the best and not the biggest sellers

[Liam-]

Well, KoTR is meant to propel someone to the top, so it’s best to give it to someone who hasn’t reached the top yet, I would have liked Andrade to win, but Gable will do

[Black Dagger]

Nah we are still getting King Corbin.

[Denver]

Nah we are still getting King Corbin.

Not if they want the fans to take it seriously? He should be jobbing for the 24/7 title not at the top level

[LaLaLand]

Chad Gable is the one who is apparently winning KOTR

:clap2:

[Denver]

I dont understand why Vince wants of Corbin when he is terrible in every aspect

[Denver]

A 4HW tag match has been announced for Raw, I'm guessing they are slowly gonna turn Charlotte Face again, she is the female Kane/Big Show

[Denver]

Possible draft spoilers
Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss, The Miz and Rey Mysterio have taken part in a SD photoshoot which could suggest they will be drafted to SD

[Denver]

Apparently the European title is being considered for NXT UK

[Denver]

I wish Stone Cold could be cleared for a full match

[Denver]

Finally the Viking Raiders are getting more then local talent

[Denver]

Though I'm surprised they have been turned heel

[Denver]

Basketball player Enis Kanter won the 247 title before raw then R Truth won it back to become a 15 time champ

[Denver]

Vince needs to stop sucking Baron off, he is a terrible wrestler with no stage presence

[Denver]

So it looks like Shane will win the KOTR

[Black Dagger]

Yeah. Looks like it.

[arista]

So it looks like Shane will win the KOTR



No I do think so.

[arista]

I wish Stone Cold could be cleared for a full match


Yes he is like Goldberg
Fit for a brief Fight.

[Denver]

Yeah. Looks like it.

Im surprised he wasnt booked to win especially with how much he has been pushed

[Denver]

Rumours that Kevin Owen's is being denoting to NXT in the draft

[Jordan.]

So 205 Live got axed smh. All the talent are moving to NXT though so that's a positive.

[LaLaLand]

So 205 Live got axed smh. All the talent are moving to NXT though so that's a positive.

Happy with this, however how much they'll get used is anyone's guess.

[michael21]

I dont understand why Vince wants of Corbin when he is terrible in every aspect

It's king corbin :cheer2:

[Denver]

Hopefully they keep the Cruiserweight title and stick it on SD where it belongs

[Liam-]

So 205 Live got axed smh. All the talent are moving to NXT though so that's a positive.

Unfortunate, but inevitable with its slot tbh

A lot of guys will get lost in the shuffle

[Denver]

Announcer will be part of the Draft with them reverting back to a 2 man team

[Jordan.]

Happy with this, however how much they'll get used is anyone's guess.

True... I'd personally say the cruiserweights put on some of the best matches on a weekily basis, so if used well infront of an NXT audience that actually cares there's no reason the division couldn't become a big hit.

[LaLaLand]

Welp thx for everything Renee....

[Denver]

Welp thx for everything Renee....

Well it's being rumoured FOX want her for their new sports show

[Liam-]

If Cory Graves isn’t relegated to the pre-show table talk i’ll fume

[Denver]

I could see Beth Pheonix getting a promotion especially with her willingness to Still wrestle, her being on main rooster could set up a couple of matches

[Liam-]

We want Nigel McGuiness on Smackdown

[Denver]

Have they not just made him NXT exclusive?

[LaLaLand]

Nigel and Mauro are THE announce team atm for me, they don't need Beth at all. Sounds like she's just reading a script and waiting for cues to speak most of the time.

[Denver]

Pete Dunne and Toni Storm trading to NXT is being rumoured

[Liam-]

Pete is already pretty much on NXT now isn’t he? Toni would be great, thought isn’t she currently injured? And she’s dating Tyler Bate, It would be great to see him go over as well

[Denver]

Pete is already pretty much on NXT now isn’t he? Toni would be great, thought isn’t she currently injured? And she’s dating Tyler Bate, It would be great to see him go over as well

He shows up part time but there is rumours he is moving to the States to become full time

[LaLaLand]

Is Toni now finally under a “proper contract” then? Not just an NXT UK one that allows them to work other promotions? :fc:

[Denver]

They are planning on have 3 very distinctive brands that people can move to and NXT is going to be one of those so you will see people be drafted there next month and in future drafts

[Denver]

Is Toni now finally under a “proper contract” then? Not just an NXT UK one that allows them to work other promotions? :fc:

I'm guessing they have at least offered her one as the womens division in NXT needs more star quality instead of having the same people challenging every PPV

[Denver]

Rewatching parts of SD and god the writing is bad

Charlotte saying Bayley has never beaten her without Sasha help but she legit just won the title while Sasha was away crying like a baby

[michael21]

Rewatching parts of SD and god the writing is bad

Charlotte saying Bayley has never beaten her without Sasha help but she legit just won the title while Sasha was away crying like a baby

Research raw Corbin try to pin joe arm then move to his leg :laugh:

[LaLaLand]

Oh hi Renee Young's replacement... :smug:

1171817986778419200

Announcer McKenzie Mitchell formerly of Impact! has signed with WWE.

[Denver]

Rumours for CoC is

The Fiend will show up at the end to cause a no DQ and set up Rollins vs Strowman vs Fiend at HIAC

[Braden]

prediction: I think Sasha will beat Becky, Bayley will retain, and whoever has the titles will then lose them to Boss n' Hug pretty much straight away.

[Denver]

prediction: I think Sasha will beat Becky, Bayley will retain, and whoever has the titles will then lose them to Boss n' Hug pretty much straight away.

I dont any titles are gonna change hands but Charlotte winning at a push woth a Becky interference to set up a winner tags all tag match inside HIAC

[arista]

Oh hi Renee Young's replacement... :smug:

1171817986778419200

Announcer McKenzie Mitchell formerly of Impact! has signed with WWE.


Good as Renee
is terrible.
She speaks crap.

[Jordan.]

The Sasha Banks chronicle on the network is a pretty good watch if anyone is interested. Pretty much addresses all the rumours about her 'exit' and going through depression starting with when she injured Paige.

[Denver]

According to Wrestlevotes, Seth is likely to lose a title tonight and Reigns vs Rowan is main eventing

[LaLaLand]

Might watch tonight. A Fiend appearance would be nice!

[Jordan.]

The card looks pretty solid to me

[Black Dagger]

According to Wrestlevotes, Seth is likely to lose a title tonight and Reigns vs Rowan is main eventing

Why do you always come at us with the worst sources.

[Denver]

Hope Cedric wins the title which may happen if its to be believed he is Heymans guy to push

[Denver]

Scum

[Jordan.]

Omg who saw that coming

[LaLaLand]

Roode yes, Ziggler UGH.

[Denver]

Legit they have no chemistry and Dolph needs to be released, no wonder all the tag teams are trying to leave when they are shown they are worth less then this

[LaLaLand]

Is NXT going to be live from Wednesday then? Or is it just a different channel with the same pre-recorded eps?

[Liam-]

Is NXT going to be live from Wednesday then? Or is it just a different channel with the same pre-recorded eps?

Live every week

[Liam-]

I hope they turn Seth tonight, have him cheat to win, he’s dire as a babyface

[LaLaLand]

Live every week

https://media1.tenor.com/images/d00755b0b2e0646d57c17ed3b6196326/tenor.gif

Can't wait!

[Denver]

Is NXT going to be live from Wednesday then? Or is it just a different channel with the same pre-recorded eps?

It's not being shown in the UK though and will be available on WWE Network a day later

[Liam-]

‘And Sasha.... dyed her hair’

Becky got me with that one fair play

[Jordan.]

So is Bayley just a tweener? Smh

[LaLaLand]

This is legit the only time in recent memory I've wanted Flair to have another reign because Bayley is basic af and I just don't get it

[Liam-]

I personally love the fact they haven’t changed Bayley’s entrance or character, now she’s just a slimy, annoyingly happy delusional ‘people’s hero’ it makes much more sense than her just being happy

[LaLaLand]

Bayley legging it :joker:

[Liam-]

Amazing :love:

[LaLaLand]

It's very OG Bo Dallas "Bolieve" character.

[Denver]

So they are being drafted

[Liam-]

It's very OG Bo Dallas "Bolieve" character.

Nxt Bo Dallas :love:

[LaLaLand]

Revival as champs is always good.

[Liam-]

Still don’t get the hype for Nikki Cross tbh

[Jordan.]

Mandy and Sonya on PPV is what we deserve

[LaLaLand]

Still don’t get the hype for Nikki Cross tbh

Her psychotic NXT character was what got her over, and they've totally done away with said character and made her this bland "friend" of Bliss, it's awful. At one point she was like the main draw of NXT ("Who attacked Aleister Black?" story for example).

She's okay in-ring, good at taking bumps/spots but nothing amazing.

[Denver]

Mess at Alexa trying to win the 247 belt

[Liam-]

Would Sonya be the first ever openly gay wwe champion?

Its what we need

[Denver]

Alexa and Nikki are so boring as a team

[LaLaLand]

Mandy/Sonya's day will come. Great team!

[Liam-]

Wait, Styles was on the pre-show? What sort of foolerly

[Liam-]

This crowd is dead

[Jordan.]

Can Sami go away and can we get a double turn for Miz and Nakamura please

[Jordan.]

Soft style dhshsfd

[LaLaLand]

Good match this.

[Denver]

It doesnt make sense for Becky to lose before 2k comes out

[Jordan.]

That obvious chair shot lmaooo

[Jordan.]

That ref serving Linda McMahon with that selling :skull:

[Denver]

Obvious Charlotte will make the save

[Denver]

Or Bayley

[Jordan.]

Rematch in HIAC :fc:

[Denver]

So they have not had Bayleh and Charlotte get involved I'm pretty shocked at that tbh thought we would have a brawl

[Denver]

Rematch in HIAC :fc:

We want the rumoured 4HW tag match

[Liam-]

I’m actually over Becky? Sasha needs to ruin her in HIAC

[Denver]

The problem with Becky is she is better chasing the title but her reign has been the best in a while which says alot about the state of how they book their female champs

[Denver]

I'm ready for Kofi to lose the title tonight? He just hasn't been able to transition into world beater like the main champs should be

[LaLaLand]

OVER Kofi as champ.

[Liam-]

I'm ready for Kofi to lose the title tonight? He just hasn't been able to transition into world beater like the main champs should be

Ugh yes, me too.

I don’t get it at all, he’s definitely not a main event star whatsoever imo

[Jordan.]

Yeah it's time for a change but Randy isn't IT

[Jordan.]

Why are we not surprised at this Trump state booing Kofi

[Liam-]

Whichever way this match ends, it needs to be the last between these two

[Liam-]

Yes! :love:

[LaLaLand]

HARPER!!! :love:

[Liam-]

I’m not invested in this main event at all, literally two of the dullest people in the company right now

[Liam-]

Perfect way to end the the show!

[Brother Leon]

The Fiend is the best thing in Wrestling right now. Good for Bray.

[Braden]

I’m actually over Becky? Sasha needs to ruin her in HIAC

Me too!

Sasha is on fire with this heel character. I don't mind the feud as both are incredible athletes, but I do hope Sasha wins along the way.

side-note: Alexa and Nikki are just awkward as tag team partners. They don't suit each other at all. I really wanted Fire and Desire to win. They've put in the effort as a tag team since they started. They deserve a title run - especially Sonya.

[Denver]

HHH has confirmed Pete Dunne, Rhea Ripley and Toni Storm are moving to NXT

[Denver]

Has anyone seen the leaked salaries?

Dana is getting paid more then most of the female talent :skull:

[Denver]

Also Kane may or may not be returning tonight

[LaLaLand]

Has anyone seen the leaked salaries?

Dana is getting paid more then most of the female talent :skull:

:clap2: Underappreciated legend Dana raking it in without the stress of live TV (just appearing on Main Event pre-RAW). Kween! :joker:

[LaLaLand]

HHH has confirmed Pete Dunne, Rhea Ripley and Toni Storm are moving to NXT

Brilliant!

[Denver]

I hope Dana is drafted to NXT as I feel a year there could do so much wonders for her career

[LaLaLand]

Her matches vs. Sarah Logan for however many weeks on Main Event are very good fair play to her, would love for them to utilise her more so NXT could be good. Her finisher is a sort of graceful Swanton Bomb now! :clap2:

https://thumbs.gfycat.com/FlawlessSpotlessKomododragon-size_restricted.gif

Logan needs to join her hubby and Ivar ASAP though. Maybe push them to a title match and have her "surprisingly" interfere and help their win? Idk.

[Denver]

Kane is back

[LaLaLand]

Man I really hope Gable wins KotR!

[Denver]

That's Why Vince shouldn't be allowed to be in charge

[LaLaLand]

... Rusev!?!?

(Looking lean may I add)

[Denver]

Kane is the new 247 champion

[arista]

The Fiend is the best thing in Wrestling right now. Good for Bray.



Until the Fat Loser
gets in the Cage with no escape
then loses to Rollins

[arista]

Yeah it's time for a change but Randy isn't IT


He is moving slow
his days are running out

[arista]

... Rusev!?!?

(Looking lean may I add)



Yes the Time Off got him even
More Fit.

[LaLaLand]

Until the Fat Loser
gets in the Cage with no escape
then loses to Rollins

:conf:

[Denver]

Meltzer is saying Vince wants to bury Cedric,

Racist Vince is back again while he pushes boring white men with no stage presence or more then basic talent

[Black Dagger]

Kofi Kingston hasn't been pinned in singles action since April.

[Liam-]

Well if Meltzer says it then it’s definitely true

[Denver]

Kofi Kingston hasn't been pinned in singles action since April.

And how many years did he refuse to have a black wwe champ?

How bad has he treated Japanese wrestlers ?

If you think Vince isnt racist you are crazy

[Denver]

Well if Meltzer says it then it’s definitely true

Meltzer is provaly the most reliable journalist on WWE

[Black Dagger]

He said two days before Harper came back that he was never returning lol.

[Liam-]

Meltzer chucks a load of darts and hopes one or two hit, he’s a hack

[Ramsay]

King Corbin well deserved :clap1:

[Denver]

King Corbin well deserved :clap1:

He has basic wrestling ability and no ring presence

[Denver]

Also its confirmed that the WWE championship will be off TV for a year with Brock

[Black Dagger]

He has basic wrestling ability and no ring presence

He's one of the most improved wrestlers on the roster lol. All of his KOTR matches were great.

And for somebody with no presence he's doing well being the #1 heel in the company.

[Liam-]

Also its confirmed that the WWE championship will be off TV for a year with Brock

By?

[Denver]

By?

By the fact he has a title match on the fox debut show

Which also means no WWE title at HIAC

[Liam-]

So not confirmed then, just speculative negativity

[Denver]

So not confirmed then, just speculative negativity

You think they will have Kofi beat Brock? You must be mad

[Denver]

Also the Raw announcer team will apparently be Vic Joseph and Dio Madden

[Denver]

He's one of the most improved wrestlers on the roster lol. All of his KOTR matches were great.

And for somebody with no presence he's doing well being the #1 heel in the company.
Legit the Fiend is the #1 heel in the company

[Ramsay]

Love Fiend but he's gonna get cheered every time, Corbin is a more complete heel

[Liam-]

You think they will have Kofi beat Brock? You must be mad

Well no, Brock is definitely going to win, that’s a given, whether or not he’ll take the title or not idk, but even if he did, the universal championship was never off screen for a year so

[LaLaLand]

Legit the Fiend is the #1 heel in the company

:joker::joker: He's literally the most "over" guy in the whole company right now, no contest. Corbin is #1 hated (or "love to hate"), ultimate heel. Fiend is basically the current ultimate tweener, heel-ish in nature but adored by the fans.

[Jordan.]

Io getting the first entrance of NXT / the women getting first match. I'm scalped!

[LaLaLand]

UGHHHH forgot about NXT, fuming I've missed the start.

[Jordan.]

Candice is #1 contender. What happened to Rhea/Shayna tho :suspect:

[LaLaLand]

Candice is #1 contender. What happened to Rhea/Shayna tho :suspect:

FUMING she better just insert herself into the feud and win seriously!

[Brother Leon]

Corbin hate is so old now. He’s been solid for a while now.

[Brother Leon]

Corbin hate is so old now. He’s been solid for a while now.

Lacey Evans Gets Speeding Ticket And Remains In Character

WWE Superstar Lacey Evans was recently stopped for speeding and recorded the entire interaction with the police. Lacey asked the officer if he knew who she was and he responded with “I have no idea.”

The officer goes on to explain the details of the ticket and Evans grabs it out of his hands and says “You nasty thing, I’ll pay the ticket.” She then proceeds to say, “Canada is terrible” to which the officer replies, “Welcome to Edmonton.”

RCMP stated afterwards that it was a legitimate traffic stop, and that the video was not staged.

1175466342843113472

She's too much :skull:

[Liam-]

:joker::joker:
Honestly, one of the best characters in the business right now, I actually love her

[Jordan.]

:joker::joker:
Honestly, one of the best characters in the business right now, I actually love her

It's apparantely become a big news story in Canada and the majority of the country are now dragging her :skull: a HEEL!


Just seen she's had to defend herself now lmao

1176155726340689920

[Denver]

Carmella is now 247 champ

[Ramsay]

John Morrison is coming back to WWE

[Liam-]

About time :love:

[arista]

John Morrison is coming back to WWE


https://i.pinimg.com/originals/82/31/a9/8231a921c5de8c259e21066a516d00db.jpg

He is aged 39

[Black Dagger]

AEW has a dead UK market. They're already going to struggle. A shame because WWE seem to be really going all out now they felt they had competition.

[Denver]

Bring his wife or dont bother

[Denver]

Jerry Lawler, Dio Madden and Vic joseph have been confirmed as the Raw announce team

[Brother Leon]

Morrison and Miz tag team please.

[LaLaLand]

Morrison!? :clap2:

[LaLaLand]

Seems like Liv Morgan is being prepped for something BIG. We last saw her lose to Charlotte Flair weeks ago and then go on post-match to say when we see her next, she'll be different. Since then, she's totally blacked out her social media profiles and been posting very dark stuff (including a video of her sitting in the rain on her driveway and another of what looked to be her trademark pink locks being cut).

"Fightful Select reports that Liv Morgan is being held off from performing. This isn't something that WWE typically does, but they don't want her in front of a live crowd before her repackaged debut.

Liv Morgan and Ember Moon were set to have a dark match and then Vince McMahon canceled the match. This is when Heavy Machinery and B Team had to wrestle in their place."

Has Liv "let The Fiend IN!?"

There's also speculation that she's somehow connected to The Fiend - maybe one of the people he's chosen to "heal" (one of his gloves says "HURT", the other "HEAL").

vs72ODCHFfc

It was reportedly her laugh used on last Monday's episode of Firefly Fun House (some suggesting she'll be the personification of Abby the Witch) and there have been links between the two via Tweets/promos.

Lamar McLendon - 6 days ago
She posted a video of a snake shedding it's skin & turning into a demon snake.... A couple of weeks later, Bray posted a quote from Sister Abigail about snake skin

[Denver]

So Jerry Lawler is apparently only back on Raw until Mickie James is ready to replace him

[Black Dagger]

So the Observer made it seem plausible that Punk might return to WWE... So that's a thing that will probably die down again in 2 days.

[Black Dagger]

Are we all ready for this week? Xo

[LaLaLand]

Are we all ready for this week? Xo

What’s happening this week? Sorry, been out of the loop!

[Liam-]

New sets and pyro :love:

[LaLaLand]

New sets and pyro :love:

Ahhh really! Like, individual sets? One unique to Raw, one to SD!?

[Liam-]

Ahhh really! Like, individual sets? One unique to Raw, one to SD!?

Don’t quote me on it, but I think so from what I’ve heard

[Black Dagger]

What’s happening this week? Sorry, been out of the loop!

RAW (season premiere basically or some **** so it's stacked)
NXT practically being a Takeover
AEW TV debut
Smackdown on FOX
HIAC

[LaLaLand]

Don’t quote me on it, but I think so from what I’ve heard

Smackdown on FOX
HIAC

Woah okay I’m in!

I’d love them to to a modern hi-tech take on the classic RAW set with the three big letters covering the stage. Maybe three tron screens in the shape of “R A W”!

For SD! I’d love the return of the big fist smashing the glass!

[LaLaLand]

Imagine these twice/three times the size and electronic in front of a huge tron. Amazing:

https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/photo/image/2012/06/05_Raw_Evolution.jpg

[Denver]

I am not a fan of the new theme songs for both shows that have apparently leaked

[Liam-]

I’m impressed that there haven’t been any leaks about the new set for tonight

[Ramsay]

I am not a fan of the new theme songs for both shows that have apparently leaked

Take that back about ACDC :omgno:

[Live WWE Late Night Smackdown is on TV this week ... Sky Sports Arena 1:00am Sat 5 Oct Spectacular wrestling action with the over-the-top stars of the States]

[Liam-]

Picture of the new Raw set being set up

1178744420851535876

[LaLaLand]

So it’s pretty much the same as before except the wall and the floor flow into each other? :skull:

Can’t judge it until I’ve seen it with trons on though I guess.

[Liam-]

The Rock has confirmed himself for Smackdown on Friday :flutter:

[Black Dagger]

Yay I can't wait for the same promo he's done for 20 years with some homophobic slurs.

[Brother Leon]

Not here for The Rock slander, Lucas :nono:

[TwentyOneThrones]

I also will hold judgement until I see the live graphics but that set looks soooo ugly

[Liam-]

New set in action

1178813236424138753

I think I actually like it

[Denver]

1178735278976057344

I screamed

[LaLaLand]

New set in action

1178813236424138753

I think I actually like it

The perfectionist in me absolutely hates that the door is off centre... Either centre it or don't have one and have the Superstars enter from around it. I'll learn to like it...

Love how everyone's (including me) excited about new sets yet we'll still have the same monotonous, dull card with the same people like we do every other week :skull: :sad:

[Denver]

I expect Cedric to win the US title tonight?

[Denver]

I want Rey to win the title as i think The Fiend shouldn't win the title just yet but i dont seem him losing at HIAC

[LaLaLand]

SO what's Cole's role gonna be now? Or is he just on SD! instead?

[LaLaLand]

"Stop trying to make Dominic happen..." :joker:

[Denver]

So they are gonna have Rey and Brock fued? its pointless otherwise

[Denver]

why do i feel Brock will be Universal and WWE champ by the weekend?

[Denver]

Unless the Universal title is SD bound

[LaLaLand]

HANG ON....

So Rusev is face??? But he's the father of Maria (heel)'s baby right? Wouldn't that make him the bad guy of this equation seeing as Mike's the one that's been "deceived"? Or is he not the "father" of this "baby" (which I'm positive doesn't exist).

I'm honestly lost.

I was expecting Rusev w/ Maria vs. Mike going forward only for Lana to return and prove Maria's faked her pregnancy? Baffled.

[LaLaLand]

Okay nevermind.

[LaLaLand]

Wtf :skull:

[Black Dagger]

aew has a dead uk market. They're already going to struggle. A shame because wwe seem to be really going all out now they felt they had competition.

1179391575891349510

Much better. I wouldn't have been able to watch until around that time with working during the day. Just have to avoid spoilers for that and NXT. Will watch NXT at 4 and then jump to AEW when it gets uploaded.

[LaLaLand]

Ah that’s much better!

I’ll watch NXT tonight then and that tomorrow, was conflicted with what to watch later but thanks to the rescheduling it’s all good now.

Exciting!

[Brother Leon]

I’ll say it. I think Punk will be back to wrestling before the year ends. I’m steering towards WWE slightly more than AEW probably. I think he’s become crazy overrated in his absence, but here for it anyway.

[Denver]

Draft spoilers

Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, Braun Strowman,
Seth Rollins, Brock Lesner, Bray Wyatt have featured in a SD promo video for after the draw while The New Day are on the Raw one, so the top titles are changing brands?

Hope so, needed imo. Fresh feuds are most welcome (as long as they're willing to push "others" that is)

[Denver]

Hope so, needed imo. Fresh feuds are most welcome (as long as they're willing to push "others" that is)

Obviouslythings can change but it's a known fact Fox have demanded big names as part of the deal

[LaLaLand]

Watching AEW instead of NXT as the advertised NXT stream is in fact AEW :skull: :joker:

Great atmosphere in the arena!!

[LaLaLand]

I'm SCREAMING you know that guy in the green shirt with the hat on that's in the front row at like every single WWE RAW/SD!/PPV?

He's in his usual spot, front and centre... At the AEW show :skull: :laugh3:

[Denver]

Finn Balor has gone to NXT

[Jordan.]

All Elite Wrestling has won the first installment of the “Wednesday Night War” and it wasn’t even close.

According to The Wrap and ShowBuzzDaily, the debut episode of AEW Dynamite pulled in 1.409 million viewers. That’s considerably more than NXT did in its first week (1.179 million) without any other wrestling competition. As far as NXT goes, it wound up doing 891,000 viewers this week. That’s down over 100,000 from the 1.006 million viewers that tuned in last week.


What is really impressive is that Dynamite managed to pull in 878,000 viewers in the 18-49 demographic while NXT only had 414,000 in that age range. That’s more than double in the favor of AEW, and AEW nearly outdrew NXT with just that demographic alone. Now WWE’s reaction of congratulating AEW on their successful debut makes a bit more sense.

Overall, AEW was the second most-watched program on Wednesday next in the 18-49 demo next to the MLB playoff game, while NXT came in at No. 10.

Love to see it

[Jordan.]

No shade at NXT but WWE were the ones who wanted to be petty and turn it into a 'war' pitting them together on the same night so seeing them get beat is funny.

[Liam-]

Good for them, they were always going to win the ratings because it’s new and exciting, NXT was still the better show though

WWE 2K20 gameplay trailer released:

lplIOgTEnl8

New/returning Superstars include The Fiend (DLC), Io Shirai, Toni Storm (which in turn confirms NXT UK), Jerry Lawler, Chyna, X Pac, "zombie versions" of various Superstars, Tomasso Ciampa and Nikki Cross (plus many more TBC).

I feel like the graphics have taken a step back? Looks like the game that came out 4/5 years ago? :shrug: Will still get it though purely because of NXT UK's inclusion.

I'm SCREAMING you know that guy in the green shirt with the hat on that's in the front row at like every single WWE RAW/SD!/PPV?

He's in his usual spot, front and centre... At the AEW show :skull: :laugh3:

Just how does this guy have this pull? I have AEW recorded so I haven't seen it yet but good freaking lord.

[Denver]

Anyone else excited for tonight? Been a long time since it felt like we had 2 different brands

[LaLaLand]

Honestly no idea. He must either be absolutely loaded or know someone who's a big deal within wrestling circles to get these seats weekly! (Or just get like priority tickets on a certain website for being such a long-time/frequent customer but I like to think it's the more extravagant reasons!)

Surely he can't have a full-time job to be able to fly here and there every single week to shows!? Wouldn't be feasible in terms of both cost or "time off" right? :shrug:

I am, kinda. I just hope they step up their game now - I want new faces in feuds for instance.

[Liam-]

There’s currently only 3 matches announced for HIAC, they have to announce more tonight surely?

[Denver]

The Usos, Tamina and Drew McIntyre are expected to return tonight

[LaLaLand]

The Usos, Tamina and Drew McIntyre are expected to return tonight

We need Heel Uso’s with enforcer Tamina (again) and stick Naomi with them when she’s better too. New stable.

[Braden]

Taqueena coming for the Smackdown Women's Championship.

[Liam-]

Smackdown stage!

Oh my God that’s ace!!

[Denver]

The Big Show, Edge and the Bella Twins are backstage

[Denver]

There is also rumours that Cain Velezquez is backstage ready to debut

[LaLaLand]

Scarlett Bordeaux has reportedly signed with WWE. :love:

[LaLaLand]

Is Kofi in a title match tonight? If he is, tonight's the night for him to lose not being funny. It's gone on and on and on too long now.

[Denver]

Edge is apparently cleared to come out of retirement

[Denver]

Is Kofi in a title match tonight? If he is, tonight's the night for him to lose not being funny. It's gone on and on and on too long now.

He is facing Lesnar for the title but Cain Velezquezis heavily rumoured to come to Reys and as the Mexican bad ass hero to challenge Brock and with rumours of him being backstage it may happen tonight

[LaLaLand]

I love how the set is an ode to the OG SD! set with the rings :love:

[Denver]

We love the real King :love:

[Jordan.]

The set is stunning :flutter:

[Denver]

The Rock is getting over bigger then any of the current roster :love:

[LaLaLand]

:laugh3: omg

[Denver]

I hope Lita wins the SD Womens, Womens Tag and 24/7 title belts

[LaLaLand]

I hope Lita wins the SD Womens, Womens Tag and 24/7 title belts

Please leave the thread and never return.

[Black Dagger]

Imagine actually still enjoying Rock in 2019.

That was all Becky and Corbin that made it watchable.

[Denver]

Imagine actually still enjoying Rock in 2019.

That was all Becky and Corbin that made it watchable.

Imagine having such a terrible and ungrateful opinion towards real legends of the company

[Black Dagger]

Shut up.

[Denver]

Marshmallow is the new 24/7 champ

[LaLaLand]

NOT Tyson Fury :skull:

[Denver]

CAIN Velezquez has debuted

[Denver]

Cain is genuinely the biggest name they had debut in a long time even bigger then Ronda and AJ I would say

[Denver]

And he and Brock genuinely hate each after Cain beat Brock in UFC

[Brother Leon]

Cain is genuinely the biggest name they had debut in a long time even bigger then Ronda and AJ I would say

Not bigger than Ronda, but huge get regardless. WWE pulling out all the stops and I’m here for it.

[LaLaLand]

So they're going to have Lesnar vs. Velasquez and maybe Strowman vs. Fury in some way, shape or form at Crown Jewel I'm guessing?

Because they love having their cameos/one-off's in Saudi Arabia.
