sek69 Posted January 21, 2020 Report Posted January 21, 2020 Glad to see Humberto come back. Also glad to see Heyman apparently shops in Vince's closet for his suits now. Pretty sure my aunt had a couch made from the same material and design as his suit tonight. Quote
WingedEagle Posted January 21, 2020 Report Posted January 21, 2020 Really liked how Asuka was sitting on the top rope without interfering during Becky/Kairi. It added a different dynamic to the match than the basic interference we saw earlier and typically see in such settings but without overshadowing the match itself.

C.S. Posted January 21, 2020 Report Posted January 21, 2020 If WWE operated with any sort of logic, AOP would be pissed, seeing as THEY'RE the tag team, but Seth and Buddy took the one set of titles they'd ostensibly be in contention for. Quote
sek69 Posted January 21, 2020 Report Posted January 21, 2020 I kinda dig Mojo as the 24/7 champ who actually kills the geeks who always chase the title. Quote
SirEdger Posted January 21, 2020 Report Posted January 21, 2020 Talk about a deflating end to the go-home RAW before the Rumble. Quote
Blehschmidt Posted January 21, 2020 Report Posted January 21, 2020 So the Rumble is 6 days away and so far we have 4 women announced for the Women's Royal Rumble. Revolutionary Quote

Somebody has to take them off Owens and Joe, I reckon they'll end up with them out of all this. Quote

Revolutionary While it's clear they haven't cared about the RAW/SD women's division since Ronda left, I'm still surprised at how little they've promoted it. We all know any able-bodied woman on RAW/SD will be in the match, along with several NXT and NXT UK people. But only four announcements to this point! No Bueno. Quote

Even when they did care it was kind of embarrassing that despite single-handedly inventing feminism and women's wrestling, they couldn't find enough people to fill a Rumble without bringing back legends and/or using not-ready-for-prime-time folks from the PC as filler. Quote
rovert Posted January 22, 2020 Report Posted January 22, 2020 I am not being glib or troll-y. But the real PPV build is on the social media the last handful days and not on Television. Not my idea but that's been the reality for several years. They do have big plans for the women's division. It is like four-six month out of the year style property. But it will be highly relevant again Sunday night. Quote
DMJ Posted January 22, 2020 Report Posted January 22, 2020 ^ I'm guessing you're hinting to Ronda's return? Aside from Baszler, I don't see anyone else possibly winning the thing. Becky/Ronda, hopefully in a singles match, could be a fun feud. I do wonder what that would mean on the SD side of things. I'm guessing Charlotte will challenge Bayley because, well, that seems to be the only other woman they really care about around Mania season. They'll probably add Sasha in too somehow. As much as I generally dislike big multi-man clusterfucks at WrestleMania, part of me wishes they'd do just that with the SmackDown Championship - Carmella, Lacey Evans, Ember Moon, Nikki Cross, and Alexa may not all be world-beaters, but the whole company, every roster, all seem so stale. Even NXT. Maybe throwing some of these characters together can lead to some new angles. Cross, in particular, has proven with Regal and Alexa that her character can get over as a foil to more "serious" characters. Maybe they should give her a shot? Quote
Matt D Posted January 22, 2020 Report Posted January 22, 2020 I dunno. Feels about time for them to push Steph again, no? Quote
Coffey Posted January 22, 2020 Report Posted January 22, 2020 I'm not sure if I can come up with 30 names for the women. Trish, Lita, Molly, Kelly Kelly, Torrie Wilson & whomever else I can't remember already came back to do it last year for "surprises." Is Nia Jax ready to return yet? I mean, I'm sure if they're healthy, we're going to see people like Tamina come out. Maybe they can get Victoria to make a surprise appearance? Outside of the women on RAW/Smackdown/NXT that is. Quote
SirEdger Posted January 22, 2020 Report Posted January 22, 2020 Including RAW, SD & NXT/NXT UK, I believe they have something around 50 or 60 women under contract so they wouldn't have difficulty booking a Rumble. Granted, some of those NXT & NXT UK women are no drawing powers like Trish or Lita used to be so they'd be tempted to ask them again to compete this year. I guess we'll see on Sunday. Quote

NintendoLogic Posted January 22, 2020 Report Posted January 22, 2020 From PWInsider: On today's edition of "The Bump," it was announced that Xavier Woods, Johnny Gargano, NXT Women's Champion Rhea Ripley, Mustache Mountain and Todd Pettengill will all be part of the Sunday's Royal Rumble Watch Along. AEW might as well just pack it up now. WWE is bringing back the big guns. Quote
sek69 Posted January 22, 2020 Report Posted January 22, 2020 Matt Riddle posted a tweet saying we should all watch WWE this week because big things are set to happen. If that means they are going to put him with Brock I'd be down with that. Quote
Coffey Posted January 23, 2020 Report Posted January 23, 2020 Man, WALTER seems like such a big deal, even with how they treated him on RAW but Mauro's constant, non-stop yelling still turns me off from NXT. Even just watching the clip from the end of the show for like 15 seconds all I could think was "Someone shut him up!" It overshadowed the awesome knife edge chop that WALTER hit on Adam Cole even. I genuinely don't get what other people see in that guy. I don't know if they relate to him because he's a geek, because of his mental issues or what. He's straight up not a good professional wrestling commentator. Quote
