Actually Battleground is just over 30 days away so never mind.

Yeah, I bet he popped at some earlier point during his title rein and they waited until they got the strap off him to do the suspension.

nachobro · « **Reply #2644 on:** June 22, 2016, 06:04:23 PM »

Just realized he won't be around for the draft. That may end up being funny.

I like Randy, he's nice and solid but can get some good spots off in a match. He also has great emoting and facial work. Also, just imagine an F5 into RKO spot

Anyone watch the CWC? The first episode was solid but not spectacular. The main event with Kota Ibushi was pretty great.

The one Chinese wrestler who fought Daivari's brother was real crummy though. I'm legit shocked they had him win. All his moved were awkward and too obviously choreographed.

Yeah that dude was the complete opposite of stiff lol, I thought the rest of it was pretty good though. Mauro and Bryan were great on commentary.

Raw has that extra hour to burn and it's supposed to have a cruiserweight division again, so it wasn't surprising.

What I didn't like was Stephanie (which might as well have been Vince) shitting all over Smackdown. The show just went live and they're still making it seem like a B-show again. They're never gonna learn.

What will a real change be? If creative on SD is different. That's what can potentially make all the difference, regardless of the roster.

They're going to have the CW division, they have the women's champ (not sure if SD will get it's own title) and the bulk of the tag teams on Raw. Also, they split up AJ and the Club. Derpy all around imo.

Kallisto stumbling all over the place.

Snore- Gallows and Anderson are on RAW...with Finn Balor. He's the Bullet Club founder. Will be interesting to see if they do anything together. But at the same time...why not have all four on the same brand?

New commentary teams!

Raw: Cole, Graves, Saxton
SD: Mauro, JBL, Otunga

I think SD is gonna be the show I'll watch weekly. I think there's a solid base there and a lot of room to grow, while Raw is very status quo.

Yeah I think that last domestic thing might have been the last straw for WWE. I guess King is still gonna be around for pre-shows but that's it. Vince is more than happy to pay King to stay at home and keep that Memphis library safe.

bork · « **Reply #2675 on:** July 25, 2016, 07:27:00 AM »

Last night's PPV actually wasn't that bad overall. The Owens/Zayn match was the highlight of the night, easily, and I felt bad for Natalya and Becky being on right after that. The crowd was gassed (and also nobody cares about their feud).

There's a rumor that the script got changed up after Booker T spoiled Lita not being on the preshow because she was going to be Sasha Banks' mystery partner, but I find that hard to believe.

Orton did a pretty good job with Jericho. Apparently he's going to be the top Smackdown babyface. Weird with Dean on there.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #2676 on:** July 25, 2016, 10:23:01 AM »

I enjoy seeing Cena mark out whenever he and Enzo are in the same ring together. It's pretty obvious he's a big fan of the guy. As long as Enzo stays healthy he's gonna be a huge star.

Cena basically has one foot out the door. With all his other commitments I wouldn't be shocked if he shifted to part timer soon.

Also Dean has now pinned both Seth and Roman clean within a week's time. The Champ we all deserve!

bork · « **Reply #2678 on:** July 25, 2016, 12:02:30 PM »

Yeah, Cena was loving Enzo and Cass last night. It sort of felt like a passing of the torch from back when Cena was all thuganomics.

Cena is not going to be the top guy. He's not on house shows anymore and is sort of "stepping back" to let others take the spotlight.

When I think about all the highlights of Raw it all comes from NXT talent.

It's crazy to me that this whole NXT thing has basically worked out. Nearly all of the top talent and big names in the company now are from NXT.

To keep it spoiler free, it was pretty good. I dug it. Definitely felt like a tighter show than Raw. Not being 50% Raw recaps helped. It's definitely clear SD has some work ahead of them but it was a good show and a good start.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ziggler winning the #1 contenders match for the title came out of nowhere but I dug it. I think that will make for a good main event for them at SS. Also Shelton Benjamin returning! And Rhyno...again but still cool
