Strummer Posted August 24, 2015 Report Posted August 24, 2015 Jon Stewart, Sting, Ric Flair, and Lesnar are all scheduled for Raw tonight. I'm actually kind of intrigued how they set up the mania match for Lesnar and Taker. This should be a hot show with all the press they've gotten since yesterday Quote
Timbo Slice Posted August 24, 2015 Report Posted August 24, 2015 The fans I've talked to since last night are all wondering if after now that NXT has shown they can draw a house and have a show that was better received by the fans from top to bottom in the same-sized arena that the NXT "invasion" or what have you will actually begin to build towards WrestleMania. Hilarious. I think a Sheamus cash-in is gonna happen tonight just to get the big belt off him and shake things up for the US Title. Brock/Taker doesn't need to be set up this far away from Mania: It's gonna draw a boatload by itself anyways. I figure it'll happen at SS or something where they need the buys. Hope they don't pull a NOC thing and hotshot it like they did the Brock/Cena rematch, but who knows at this point. Last night wasn't a "Writing on the wall" moment for Vince. Not at all. If anything, it's just gonna make him a cornered stray in an alley ready to fight back against the critics. Which means weirder stuff is gonna happen that will be passed off as "exciting." Plus, now that Cena has nuked the plans of the actual Divas revolution happening, that should really spell out what happens for the NXT guys coming up. Not holding my breath for a damn thing. Quote
Jmare007 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Posted August 24, 2015 I really hope Sting isn't the "big thing" they have planned for tonight. Quote
Coffey Posted August 24, 2015 Report Posted August 24, 2015 I really, really hope that their big Texas Wrestlemania match is not Brock/Taker for the third time. :-/ Quote

Not holding my breath for a damn thing. I highly doubt that happened. It's not like WrestleZone is really all that credible and immediately having Charlotte come in and win the belt from Nikki Bella was probably never in the plans since they've seemed determined to have her break AJ's streak for some time now. The saying "don't believe everything you read on the internet" is a saying for a reason. Quote

Russellmania Posted August 24, 2015 Report Posted August 24, 2015 the Lesnar/Taker blowoff should be at Hell in a Cell. Running that match at Mania seems like a mistake. Quote

Can you explain what this is about? Wrestlezone put out some click bait story that I think is total bullshit about how the original plan was for Charlotte to debut and beat Nikki Bella for the Divas title in her very first match but John Cena stopped that from happening.

Badlittlekitten Posted August 24, 2015 Report Posted August 24, 2015 Oh ok cheers goc. Hope they don't bait and switch me on the Rollins statue. Quote

The saying "don't believe everything you read on the internet" is a saying for a reason. Dave was asked about this on Twitter. He said he can't say for sure that it's not true, but he can say it's vastly different from how it was explained to him. Quote
DMJ Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 So, Triple H turns on Rollins tonight? Quote
Jmare007 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 Dudley Boyz! Crowd is going apeshit. Quote
Strummer Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Posted August 25, 2015 It does seem like they are setting up a turn in this whole HHH/Seth deal Quote
Jmare007 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 It seems to me they are setting up Flair's appearance with these "you are The Man, Seth" stuff. Then Flair encourages Cena to get n°16. Quote
hammerva Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 Yeah when they say "you are get everything you deserve" or something like that it is usually a bad sign for Rollins. Although I am guessing the Triple H attacks Rollins because Seth thinks the statue sucks. Of course worse case scenario is that Kane comes back and destroys the statue Quote
Loss Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 If he's turning, the way last night's match with Cena was worked makes a lot more sense. Quote
hammerva Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 Wait isn't that the guy at the previous NXT Takeover who was sitting next to Stephanie. Quote
goc Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 Whether he turns out to be any good or not, they certainly made him look strong on his debut. Quote
hammerva Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 Meltzer is saying it is Braun Stowman. Quote
The Chief Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 That's gotta be the first time in a long time that a guy skipped NXT television (as far as I know). The guy sitting next to stephanie was an actor from Game of Thrones it's not him. That was a super effective debut, guy is legit scary. Quote
Strummer Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Posted August 25, 2015 The four horsemen were in the WWE? Quote
goc Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 That's gotta be the first time in a long time that a guy skipped NXT television (as far as I know). The guy sitting next to stephanie was an actor from Game of Thrones it's not him. That was a super effective debut, guy is legit scary. For sure. I would hope they immediately put the dude on house shows working tags/6 mans to get him some experience so he can live up to that debut. Because that was about as strong a debut as you are ever gonna see in WWE. He just smashed Dean Ambrose AND Roman Reigns. Quote
