...TG Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Saw someone on Twitter propose Miz/Maryse/Almas/Vega v Bryan/Bellas/Cena for Survivor Series and it's one of those fantasy booking ideas that's so damn good I'm going to be disappointed when it doesn't happen.

sek69 Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Why would Cena team with them? That would be awkward on many levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted August 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Well, Vega and Andrade also aren't a real couple, so Cena and Nikki being there would even things out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, Miz should be getting the belt from AJ Styles (or Joe) at Survivor Series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but Cena and Nikki were a real couple, and despite how much was played up for reality TV clearly things went sour between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Sorrow Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 I just saw RAW on Hulu all the way through and I'm happy they turned Braun back heel. I hated babyface Braun. They had to do it briefly to ride the short term reactions, but he's a "fucking heel". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microstatistics Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Man, I hate when people follow up a finisher with a submission hold. Even Minoru Suzuki is guilty of that. 2 hours ago, KawadaSmile said: Once again, Carmella carries Charlotte to a good match. This might seem like an exaggeration (and probably is) but there is a semblance of truth to it. Carmella is a pretty good worker, good to see her get some recognition.

KawadaSmile Posted August 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 It is a slight exaggeration, to be honest. Carmella was the better perfomer every single time she faced Charlotte, and while Flair wasn't the absolute pits like in the first match they had together, Carmella's performance here was great. She's good. Can become great - and considering how little in-ring experience she has, it's quite the leap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 That definitely was Carmella's best match of her career tonight. I've not been too keen on Carmella ever since she's joined the main roster but she killed it tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenese Sarwieh Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Decent editon of Smackdown with a good Almas/Bryan match and Carmella looking the besr she's ever been since joining the main roster. Also really excited to see where they go with Lynch/ Charlotte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 I get why they had The Miz interfering in Bryan vs Almas , probably to protect Almas from eating a clean finish but I wish we could've had one. They had great chemistry together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert S Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 So there will be a Orton vs. Hardy Hell in a Cell match. Well, I know which match I will be FF through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 I am confused on which matches have a cell and which ones don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Also, in terms of crowd reaction it's amazing how Becky Lynch is suddenly the hottest performer in the company. I think WWE underestimated before she turned just how much people have always been into her. I think there's an earnestness to what she says and does that makes her really easy to like. She is the one that always gets everything over. She's not doing anything to generate this response, but I'm happy for her that she's getting it. I just have a feeling that they've learned all the wrong things from Roman Reigns and will as a result double down on Charlotte as a babyface, taking that she's getting booed to be a sign that it's working. The world is upside down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world is upside down. The fact that they don't understand why Bayley's heel turn didn't work is really telling to me. When you constantly make your faces look like chumps, people don't see what Bayley or Becky did as a heel turn. It's more of a "fuck yeah, stand up for yourself!" moment. I also think she's riding a wave of frustration with the women's division that is really starting to bubble up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted August 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 I... don't think they are applying what they've learned from Roman's push into this Charlotte/Becky feud. For one, even if a portion of the crowd booed Roman, it wasn't rare to listen to "this is awesome!" and "Let's go Roman/Roman sucks" chants. You can claim that he's divisive, but he was never someone to have the crowds go quiet, and even less he was one to not have the crowd rally behind him at some point. In Charlotte's case, I believe they are actually booking her as a heel and Becky as a face, even if by complete accident and ineptitude - her promo last night was something atrocious, when you consider it was a face supposing to be saying it. From the content to the delivery, you could think Flair was possessed by the ghost of The Living Miz. Meanwhile, Becky swears in her promo and looks like an Austin-esque badass superstar. Then, if we think about the reactions she's getting throughout her appearances, it's even worse. There's no crowd split, they really don't care about her as much as they care about Becky. All in all, it's not even the same thing as Roman, they just made themselves another crazy scenario. This one seems to have a clearer solution, though.

TheDuke Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 I was hoping Almas would get the US title so that whenever Gargano got called up to the main roster, he and Almas could have a rematch. Edit: And it be for a belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 anyone else think we're getting Team Angle v Team Corbin at Survivor Series for control of Monday Night Raw?

SirEdger Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Could be a possibility. At least, I see it for sure. I'd bet that Dolph & Drew would be in Corbin's team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
