jackwebb Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Intriguing show. Ratings aren't good so McMahon could change things up. There is one match with a mystery opponent. The world champion is in 2 matches. The Money in the Bank contract is in play. Hell in a Cell is next month though so they might want to drag some feuds out as well. They have invested a lot of time in Rollins. I would consider turning him tonight if it were my call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmare007 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Isn't Orton kind of a lock to be the mystery partner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ready_Willing_Gable Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Isn't Orton kind of a lock to be the mystery partner? Great post on another board: "If Randy Orton is the mystery partner I'm going to take a disgusting protest shit." I think that's pretty much ruled out though. It would be a new low if they pulled that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Like most of America, I am at my lowest interest in the modern WWE product than I have been since probably 2007-2008. For shits and giggles, lets predict the winners... Neville & Luchadores vs. Stardust and the Ascension - Nothing match to get the crowd pumped up. Neville pins ramdom Ascension guy. New Day vs. The Dudleys I really hope this is just an excuse to put the New Day over a veteran tag team. I haven't seen one episode of WWE TV since the Dudleys returned. Rusev vs. Dolph Ziggler - I think Rusev should win but then again, I think Rusev should win every match he is in. That means Dolph probably wins. Wyatt Family vs. Ambrose, Reigns and Orton - I see Orton is not on the show so I am guessing he is the mystery partner. If he isn't, I don't know who else they would plug in. I am guessing the Shield go over but I could easily see them letting Strom squash Reigns in his "rebuilding" mode. Charlotte vs. Nikki Bella - Charlotte has to win,right? I think the Bellas need a vacation. Kevin Owens vs. Ryback - I think Owens would be better with the IC belt since he is such an asshole heel. I think a title change is in order here. Seth Rollins vs. John Cena - All of those Cena US Title shirts are going to waste. He needs his belt back. Cena wins. Seth Rollins vs. Sting (w/ Shemaus cash in) I think Sting wins the belt and Sheamus cashes in. The low TV numbers probably put a kabosh on the Rollins title run. I don't think Sheamus is the answer but I think they transition fairly quickly off of Sheamus onto a babyface champ sooner rather than later. Brock vs. Sheamus would be pretty sweet.

Ready_Willing_Gable Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Orton got 'took out' by Wyatts on Raw because he was filmed backstage conversing with Ambrose & Roman. The following SmackDown something similar happened with Jimmy Uso. The mystery partner has been kept a secret so Wyatts can't get to them first, so it would really be a sickener if it was just Orton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 The mystery partner should be Cesaro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Cesaro would be great Bryan would be great. Someone fresh like Zayn would be great, although I don't think there's anyone else in NXT who could step into that babyface role at this time. Rowan would be a big letdown, but doesn't fall into the last category so he would work. We're basically hoping for ABK (Anyone But Kane), yes?

El Boricua Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Not going to lie, setting aside any rationality of whether it should be done, Sting winning the title would be an enjoyable moment for me if it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 My money on the mystery partner is still Kane. Not that I want that to happen, mind you, but this is WWE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehschmidt Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 My money is on Jericho being the mystery partner. Not Kane, but still uggh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Forget about predicting the winners, let's predict how much of the Sting/Rollins match is dedicated to chinlocks. I'm gonna go with 6 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 I am thinking the match only lasts 6 minutes.... Sting Chinlock for 2 minutes followed by Rollins spinning back kick to the abdomen and a Rollins chin lock for 4 minutes and then a Sheamus cash in. Brogue Kick in 18 seconds on both guys. He hugs HHH and Stephanie. 8 more months of the Authority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigBoot Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Like most of America, I am at my lowest interest in the modern WWE product than I have been since probably 2007-2008.At least they had a valid excuse back then, not that Benoit was something they wanted to ever bring up of course, but I can definitely see them panicking and switching a bunch of titles. I can also see that making no difference. My predictions... Pre-Show: Neville & Luchadores vs. Stardust and the Ascension - No point in them creating a new faction (The Cosmic Wasteland) or extending the Stardust/Neville feud if they don't put Cody over here. New Day vs. The Dudleys I really hope this is just an excuse to put the New Day over a veteran tag team. I haven't seen one episode of WWE TV since the Dudleys returned. It has had by far the best build-up of any match on the card with Xavier on the trombone, the 'Save the Tables' campaign and New Day on commentary and promos. For their part, since the Dudleys came back Bubba has been running into people very fast.Reminds me a bit of post-comeback JBL in 2008. I see New Day keeping the belts since they just won them back. Dudleys will definitely hover another title run at some point though. SO expect a post-match table spot to setup a Tables Match at HIAC or TLC (if they can make it last that long). Survivors doesn't need a Tag Title match, can be a teams elimination match. Rusev vs. Dolph Ziggler - If Rollins turns face (and I think he will) anytime soon he'll need and it makes sense to build Rusev back up. Wyatt Family vs. Ambrose, Reigns and Mystery Partner - Partner turns on Shield and joins the Wyatts. Charlotte vs. Nikki Bella - I had a feeling Charlotte wasn't going to get the belt on Monday but expect her to tonight. Kevin Owens vs. Ryback - Owens winning his last feud with Cesaro seemed to be to set this up. Shame Ryback' s run wasn't what it could have been. Seth Rollins vs. John Cena - Cena beats Rollins in the opener and we get a WrestleMania X situations Seth doesn't need two belts. Cena restarts the US Open tomorrow on RAW. Seth Rollins vs. Sting (w/ Shemaus cash in) - Sting does the job again, Rollins makes up for his loss earlier but Sheamus cashes in setting up Seth's face turn.

goodhelmet Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 As for the mystery run in... man, with that big guy who can't work on the other side, Kane would be the most likely guy as another big guy who sucks to match up with him. Too bad Brock is a part timer. Brock killing the Wyatts would be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 WWE doesn't really place the same emphasis on mystery partners as its fans. Remember when Chris Jericho's much-hyped mystery partner after Edge's injury was The Big Show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Well it wasn't the greatest of surprises but at least the JeriShow ended up being really awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Shit, what's Big Show's status? That's another guy the crowd doesn't care about who could match up with the big oaf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Another take on the chinlock question from twitter. This one is kind of tough but I'm gonna go with the Divas match being longer but by less than 2 minutes. I think the main will probably go around 13-15 minutes with close to half of that being chinlocky goodness. Suspect the Divas match will go around 8 minutes.

El-P Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Mystery partners are *always* a let-down. Orton or Kane totally fit the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Thankfully, Sting is better than 95% of the roster at working out of holds and getting a crowd behind him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alucard Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Part of the build is that Orton was taken out by the Wyatts so it's not him. Kane it may be, if so I hope The Demon Kane returns. Jericho does make some sense with his history with the Wyatts and he's working the MSG Show in 2 weeks.

Johnny Sorrow Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Lotta motherfuckin' Eeyores up in this thread. Sheeeitt. I got people arriving, Italian sausages, shiskabob, and burgers grilling, cooler full of beers, wrestling on the big screen, it's a beautiful day, and I'm off tomorrow. Life is good. And i'm still coming down from THIS show i was at last night. I thought we were going to the family friendly local Indy, but that show is next week. I ended up at a crazy bar in Denver for this. And we had a blast, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
