Wwe

To avoid hijacking a thread in the dug out:

Wwe:

Predictions for Hiac?

I reckon:

The club, new day, reigns (unfortunately) banks (unfortunately) and owens (due to either jericho or Hhh)

Thoughts?

If go with that. They will want to keep Y2J Owens for either survivor series or wrestlemania. Looking forward to seeing who comes through from NXT this coming year as well with Samoa Joe Eric young bobby roode and of course mickie James being back. Not seen wwe live yet but feels like they need to change the writers on raw. The main thing for me was the authority story went on far too long

[SteveHFC]

Y2J to win title in Toronto next month would be glorious. Guy deserves another title.

You can't take it off KO in Canada though surely?

Will be interesting to see how and why jeri KO split.

Y2J is due to leave soon due to his band, so he may not get the title before he goes.

[Onceinawhile]

Jericho is Canadian as well ;)

I'm excited for Raw and Smackdown. Got tickets for both, splurged a bit for Raw so we're pretty close for that but up the back for Smackdown.

We've not seen Noam Dar in the cruiserweight classic yet so I think they've been waiting for Glasgow Raw for him to make his debut. Homegrown guy so should get a great reaction from the crowd. Sure there will be more than a few ICW chants as well!

Aye, I know that!! Both shows should be good, hope you enjoy it.

I'm sure I saw a title match between styles and ambrose advertised months ago for Smackdown, but haven't seen anything since.

Sure noam Dar will get a decent reception, but depends on how many folk know who he is.

I see finn balor is back for the next ICW event. Surprised he's allowed tbh.

Yeah I'm guessing tomorrow on raw,be good to get away from this poor fued with rollins think y2j will make KO a legitimate star.

How we all liking the brand split?

Brand split has worked well for smackdown (apart from the tag division) but I'm not sure it's working for raw.

The lack of action for sami zayn (braun strowman) apart and neville getting no proper action has been criminal.

Also no idea why the tag division has been ruined on smackdown, the usos have disappeared, as have American alpha, breezango and the vaudvillians and we're having to put up with the headbangers and spirit squad for no reason.

Surprised about charlotte winning last night, but glad of it! Far prefer her to sasha.

KO winning was the right choice and romantic was always going to win unfortunately.

[Mon Dieu4]

It has been decent in recent weeks but they were clearly thinking Lesnar would get booed last week, big big mistake, he's a huge hero in minnesota and was always going to get cheered

Yeah seems to be a lot of the roster just treading water at the moment,personally I think they just hang around to wait to give certain stars there big moment.

Thinking Enzo and cass,American alpha and others personally think neville should be in the cruiserweight division

Alot of mistakes being made considering the roster they have plus all the guys to come from nxt.
Obviously the injury to balor threw things up in the air and rollins face turn being a bit of damp squib so far that's down to hhh not being around hasn't helped.

Yip that was a train wreck

[SteveHFC]

I think there will be a fair few who know him. I've heard ICW and Grado chants at WWE events before and when NXT came last year everyone was doing the 'One Fall!' chant back to the ring announcer too.

Yeah Foley was meant to be hosting but he had to pull out for Survivor Series. I think he was genuinely disappointed he had to do that so obviously asked for something on ICW's behalf. They didn't have to do anything though - let alone send Balor! - so that's a nice wee touch I think. He should get a great reception too.



Floor seats, section 5. I think that's just off the corner of the ring but not sure how far back it will be. Buzzing for it though! :thumbsup: Got a big group of us going for Raw and then just the girls for Smackdown.

Regarding the brand split, I was really sceptical beforehand but it's been a great thing I think. Lets certain people have more time to shine and cuts out a lot of pointless filler. Plus I actually watch Smackdown now!

Same here mate. Heading through myself for Raw.

I never watch ICW. But know who Dar and Grado are. Do expect Dar to get a huge pop in Glasgow next Monday.

[SteveHFC]

Should get a rough idea on tonight's raw what Glasgow will be like next week. :hyper

Would be a nice surprise if Goldberg, Lesnar and Heyman turned up next week.

[hfc rd]

Is this event that is happening in Glasgow, Monday Night Raw and Smackdown Live the actual events that are broadcast live on Sky Sports? Pretty big for Glasgow to be hosting these if they are! Only seems like London and Manchester get this once/twice a year and the rest are broadcast live in America/Canada.

I remember the attitude era which was the best and they had two UK pay-per views. Rebellion and Insurrextion.

They are mate. First ever televised events held in Scotland.

Next week will have some atmosphere at the events regardless how bad it might be.

[nellio]

Im going to SD next Tuesday. Would like Raw as well but cant afford both.

I went to both Insurexion and rebellion back in the day. Been to a few house shows and saw the first Raw and Smackdown outside of North America in Manchester a good few years back. Always enjoyed the live product its a real spectacle.

[SteveHFC]

After last night's raw. Looks like we'll be getting Roman and Seth v KO and Y2J next Monday. :hyper

Just watching raw just now,heyman Goldberg segment was much better this week rusev gets better and better should get a good push in the near future don't know where he will go now with it looking like he's done with reigns now

I suspect he might be the person who challenges dolph ziggler at survivor series.

I had assumed that with raw and smackdown being in Glasgow that they would be shown live on sky sports, but the listing still has them on at 1am.

Possibly but I don't see ziggler dropping the title so soon
Don't think rusev really needs to lose again
Not really sure who they will have challenge for it maybe zayn
Other than that I don't know?

Is he coming back? I don't watch WWE anymore but I remember Kurt Angle from the attitude era. His battles with The Rock, Triple H and when WCW/ECW invaded were very good.

There's been rumours about it for a while but due to various issues it never seems to have happened. Hes on the indies just now and is wrestling Joe Coffey in Glasgow in a couple of weeks.

He's talked about finishing his career back in Wwe so the royal rumble is a possibility, definitely likely to appear at a wrestlemania in the next couple of years though.

[SteveHFC]

Raw was amazing tonight. Defiantly going again.

Also think the hardys will return next year

Delete,delete,delete,delete,delete.

Also think hulk hogan will be back aswell

[Onceinawhile]

Well, how did everyone enjoy it?

From watching on TV, raw was far too talk heavy and the fans ruined the woman's survivor series bit (I appreciate it was probably great live though!)

Smackdown on the other hand was imo much better and better matches. Especially enjoyed lynch v bliss.

But Shane o Mac instead of miz, Harper, kane or crews? Nonsense.

The Hey Bayley chant was quite loud that they had to edit it on tv :faf:

Don't get why very few wrestlers can deal with a crowd sasha handled that bit the best,charlotte dealt with it terribly.
Don't get why wrestlers always try to talk over a loud crowd Alot of the older wrestlers were very good at dealing with this think they should get Shawn Michaels to work on it with them in his new performance centre role.

Braun Strowman has got better and is getting better and better every week. One of the main guys for WWE in the future.

Survivor series should be a good watch with him on raw and bray on smackdown

[SteveHFC]

Predictions for Sunday.

Goldberg
Team Smackdown (AJ, Orton, Wyatt, Ambrose and Shane)
Team Raw Women
Team Raw Tag Team
Kalisto
Zayn

[Onceinawhile]

Can't see miz dropping it haven't just won it, same with kendrick so:

Kendrick
Miz
Raw tag team
Raw women (charlotte will be last woman standing)
Raw men (who are they going to let beat strowman or reigns?)
Lesnar

Having said that, I can't see raw winning all three. So smackdown might win the tag team.

[hibs#1]

I wasnt keen on the raw vs smackdown idea to start with but think they should be good match ups good to have Goldberg back hope he hanhas around for a bit

Still think there have been mistakes made bayley joining in a beat down 5 on 1 doesn't make sense actually none of the women's match makes any sense however I'm going
Lesnar
Smackdown mens team
Raw women's team
Zayn
Kalisto
Probably go raw tag teams
Think that's it.

Only think I think might happen is corbin will cost kalisto the match then think miz will retain.

[pontius pilate]

I've got a feeling smackdowns men will loose. Why bring back the undertaker with his warning when there would be no follow through ( mind you the writers dont make life easy). I've only really kept up with peoceedings through bleecher report for both raw and smackdown but have survivor series down for a record tomorrow. Could we see any suprises maybe like takes taking shanes place as he has an injury? Rollings and reigns screwing raw for a shield reunion? Maybe Samoa joe Bobby roode or ey and sanity making an appearance. Or struaman screwubg raw ti go back into the Wyatt gold. Looking forward to it though

The hardys storyline is a bit of a weird one on tna at the moment what with Matt a change to his other persina then changing back to this other character who doesn't know wrestling at all.

Haha it is quite strange but I think it's one of the best things in wrestling right now.got to give it too the hardys for trying something totally different and reinventing themselves who would have thought in 2016 that the hardys would still be going strong when edge Christian and the dudley boyz are retired.
Other than that don't really enjoy tna got some good talent but commentators are garbage the production values are poor
I do like some of the wrestlers think eli drake would be great on smackdown ec3 the hardys and lashley would also be great for wwe,be interesting to see what a the fight network will do with it,still think vince will eventually buy them out though and get the tape library and any talent he fancies.

Anyone watching takeover tonight?

Don't have sky sports mate or I would be recording it is it really that good I've heard alot about it. I don't think Vince will but tna but he will buy the back catalogue I believe it is under New management James storm is ok as well. I can't see lashley or the hardys going back to wwe but hey you never know at the rumble who will appear.

Aslong as strowman wins,definitely think we'll get cena vs undertaker and Lesnar vs Goldberg other than that I have no idea some sort of multi-man cruiserweight match.

Anyone got any idea when balor is back?
Guessing he'll get the title back pretty quickly.

AJ-Taker for the title at Royal Rumble looks likely to happen

[hibee62]

I thought they had took backstage jobs with wwe but never mind.

Devon has taken on an agent role but I'm guessing he's allowed to make Indy appearances alongside that. Also, icw and Wwe seem to have a rather good relationship which probably helped with their appearance.

Wwe have also taken on a few icw regulars recently in Nikki cross (storm), big damo and tommy end.

Think she'll win the Women's title in NXt at some point next year.

[hibee62]

I think I agree, she's bound to at least get a title match. She's been put in a very prominent position alongside Eric young. I could see the whole sanity stable being positioned to take over nxt actually.

[hibs#1]

AJ-Taker for the title at Royal Rumble looks likely to happen

Looks like they are trying to stack out the card seeing as there going to a 60 thousand seater arena they will have to

Looks like they are trying to have 4 sort of super weekends throughout the year to coincide with the big 4 ppvs

I like aj styles and I'm all for this match if aj wins even by cheating,don't want taker to win just to lose it at Wrestlemania to cena that match doesn't need the title.

According to the bookies Goldberg is short favourite to win the royal rumble,which would make me think Lesnar will would beat owens for the title in the ppv in between then setup the rematch between the two.

Don't think that's the best way to go about time to start putting the younger talents over.
I'd go something like this for Wrestlemania
Rollins v hhh
Cena v undertaker
Styles v wyatt for the title
Goldberg v strowman
Lesnar vs reigns
Owens vs jericho for the title
Bayley vs sasha vs charlotte
Ambrose vs orton
Alexa vs Bella vs becky vs asuka
Multi man ic title ladder match
Same for cruiserweight title
4 way take team title matches with American alpha and Enzo and cass winning first titles
Big show vs Shaq is happening so....but would prefer maybe rusev getting put over by big show if he's retiring.
Would still have to something with the US title maybe zayn vs someone by then

That doesn't mention any possible nxt debuts or any big returns eg.angle,hardys,Joe,nakamura,revival.

It won't be anywhere close to the final card and probably too many matches but plenty of good match ups and plenty of star power and gives them a chance to have a changing of the guard so to speak.
Also that doesn't include balor who will be shoehorned into the main event straight away on his return.

[Pretty Boy]

Wrestling with shadows is pretty good
That covershe bret Hart leaving wwe for wcw and the Montreal screwjob probably the best one I've watched

Occasionally one appears in the sky anytime under the wwe section obviously they are usually pretty short and heavily edited but they are decent watch to pass the time for an hour I watched one called sting into theffect light on this the other day which was quite good

There are ton of interviews on you tube with different wrestling types that can be quite good to hear some stories and behind the scenes stuff.
Stone colds podcast is pretty good aswell.

I really enjoyed the women's match and the tag title finish (one I've not seen before). I cannot stand these DQ endings though, lazy booking when they can't decide who takes the loss.

Gutted for the new day, really don't see what cesaro and sheamus bring to the party, but then the raw tag division is weak af.

Kevin owens must be fed up of his booking as well. I reckon he's lucky if he's won one match clean as champion.

Taker cena is huge match anyway doesn't need the title

Would aj will face at Wrestlemania I have no idea right now
He deserves a big name/match but with the way thinks are shaping I can't see who.

AJ could turn face again since he's over with crowd and have someone like Miz or Wyatt fight him for the title.

I know would too sweet.
Apparently he's stopped taking independent bookings and told people he is heading back,he seems to have his addiction problems sorted so I think it could be true think he would be great on smackdown to even 3-4 matches a year.

Could have great matches with wyatt,orton,ziggler,American alpha,miz,ambrose,corbin(who has improved massively since joining smackdown) and of course aj styles.

That's not even thinking about the guys on raw or nxt he could face plus I'm sure they will sign Alot of other guys in the next couple of years.

Realistically that's the biggest match they can put on.
Lots of reports saying it's a no go unfortunately.

[hibee62]

Angle just tweeted "I'm coming home #itsdamntrue". Make of that what you will but given it's the night of raw I think it points to a return to WWE, probably a retirement run.

Edit: Hall of fame entry apparently, so probably not a match this year.

Maybe happens next year in New Orleans but don't hold much hope for it anymore. Wanted to see a match between they 2 at Wrestlemania.

Better not go with Roman-Taker.

I have no idea who is going to win.
Could be Goldberg,Lesnar,undertaker,strowman,balor,Samoa Joe
Seen a lot of chat about orton and wyatt for potential winners aswell and of course there will be fewes surprise entries Im guessing angle will be one.

Feels thereally really going all out this year some years it's been painfully obvious who's going to win.

About 8 spots left. So a few smackdown guys like Kane and Crews with returns and some debuts with some legends.

I'll mark out if Angle and Omega (we can dream) end up in the Rumble on Sunday.

Apparently a decision on Balor's status was due to be made by the medical team this week. I'd love to see him win it but I have no idea who is likely to, I heard rumours that they were changing their minds on a daily basis.

[Onceinawhile]

Hoping finn balor is back tonight.

With nakamura losing the title, I wouldn't be surprised to see him and Jo enter at some point.

Balor to win, but I've got a feeling it'll be the undertaker with Cena and reigns dethroning owens and styles.

[hibs#1]

Samoa Joe has got to be involved tonight somehow.hopefully balor will make it,tye dillinger will surely be number 10?
Still think angle will come out sure there will be an other couple of surprises don't think nakamura will be one.
Fancy x-pac to make an appearance.

[hibs#1]

As an aside how good is bobby roode's entrance?
Don't care what people say but having a great entrance that the fans can join in with is a massive part of getting over.

[Onceinawhile]

Orton is heavy favourite with sky bet (1/12) and Ladbrokes (1/8). So looks like he's winning it.

Balor second favourite with both.

The Orton one keeps coming up, but he's not really been featured in a royal rumble storyline which made me doubt it. It is a nice change to the last few years actually not knowing who's going to win before hand!

I saw an interesting prediction by Mike Johnson (PW Insider reporter) re AJ-Cena. He predicted Kassius Ohno and Samoa Joe would come out to aid AJ and form some sort of indie club. Can't see it actually happening but it could be fun'

I enjoyed the rumble right up until number 30. Sitting here wondering if 30 would be Joe or balor and thinking they'd go on to win it, but instead we get reigns. Absolutely no need in him being in that match other than sticking the finger up to the fans.

It does leave it open for balor to win the universal championship at WM though, assuming it will be reigns v taker and cena v orton (for the millionth time).

[hibee62]

I've just read a rumour that it will be Goldberg v Owens at Fastlane, and that universal title matches are not being advertised for any live events until wrestlemania. The implication being that Goldberg will win it in a few weeks and lesnar will get a shot at WM33. I would think this also means we're not getting any balor until after WM.

[pontius pilate]

Dissapointed in the rumble no surprise entrants really then the main three are out in the higher numbers. The script writers have clearly stuck two fingers up at the fans given who won and no major suprises.

I think for wrestlemania it will be reigns v taker
Rollins v hhh
Orton v Cena again
Owens v Corbin

[hibs#1]

Not watched it yet but doesn't look too good from reports
Dobt get why they have strowman cost reigns the title then have reigns come out at no 30?don't know what they are trying to accomplish with that.
Other than glad to see tye dillinger debut hope he goes to smackdown and looking forward to watching styles vs cena

AJ vs Cena was easily the highlight of the night. Rumble itself was pretty pedestrian, except for the short period of Goldberg, was disappointed there was no surprise/touted names at all.

agree with your picks for WM except possibly Owens vs Corbin, think it might be Owens vs Jericho, as an end to their partnership, possibly linked into the above rumour of Goldberg taking the universal title (Jericho tries to interfere and fails/causes Owens to lose)

[pontius pilate]

Also heard it could be Orton v Wyatt at WM Wyatt to face cena at next ppv setting up that match for WM

[hibs#1]

Styles vs cena was very good.hopefully they use aj well going forward he absolutely is one of the best in the world cena for all the criticism is very entertaining.
I didn't think the rumble was that bad I actually enjoyed it granted I didn't start with high hopes due to all the reports.
Not a classic but enjoyable.apart from shoving reigns down everyone's throat,he could be a star but his booking is all wrong.

Don't have high hopes for the Wrestlemania
The matches that are rumoured don't fill me with confidence
Styles vs mcmahon.
Taker vs reigns.
Now there are rumours of cena being in a mixed gender tag match sound *****.

[hibee62]

Also heard it could be Orton v Wyatt at WM Wyatt to face cena at next ppv setting up that match for WM

The next smackdown PPV is an elimination chamber, which will make it easier to put the title on wyatt. I'm still not convinced though, I'm fully expecting cena v orton...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo:boo hoo:

Here's the WM card if things don't change. Have to laugh at some of the matches.

Bill Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar for the Universal title
Undertaker vs. Reigns. (Passing the Torch)
HHH vs. Seth Rollins. "Obviously this is in jeopardy right now."
Bray Wyatt vs. Randy Orton for the WWE title
Chris Jericho vs. Kevin Owens likely for US Title
John Cena & Nikki Bella vs. The Miz & Maryse
Big Show vs. Shaquille O’Neal
Charlotte vs. Bayley vs. Nia Jax vs. Sasha Banks for the women’s title
A.J. Styles vs. Shane McMahon.

To be honest, some of those matches aren't as bad as they could have been. Although my opinion is likely to change dep being on who wins some of those. if reigns had been booked differently from the start I wouldn't mind him beating taker but he's not what the McMahon's wish he was! However, assuming lesnar beats goldberg, the idea of balor or Joe v lesnar is quite interesting! I wonder if balor v Joe is a possibility too...?

The last rumour I heard was that Rollins was facing 2 months out, which would mean he returns right on WM... risky!

[hibs#1]

Sounds like rollins will make it which is good
Hope they look after Samoa Joe think he'll be a great addition to the raw main event.

By the looks of it Goldberg will beat owens.
Wtf is the point of that? He's unlikely to be here in 6 months never mind 6 years. Build owens up. He's the future.

For him to drop it to Lesnar. Who in turn is apparently to keep until summerslam then drop it to the next guy (roman reigns again)

The title does need some prestige but they could have had that if they had let owens destroy Lesnar or Goldberg then have the next guy beat him then you have 2 new stars.

Guys like Lesnar Goldberg the rock hhh undertaker etc. will always be popular no matter how many loses they take its the younger guys that need the big wins.
Look at Chris jericho arguably the most popular guy at the minute and he hardly ever wins.

Bray wyatt new wwe champion.pleased for the guy one of the best characters they have.still don't get why they let styles lose at the rumble should have lost it last night,I like cena but he didn't need to win for 2 weeks,not against cena tying or beating flairs record just not when it made more sense.

That chamber match was out-****ing-standing. Cena-AJ rivalry is amazing on every level. These guys should be main-evening wrestlemania.

I wish AJ was 5/10 years younger as he would be the next face of the company.

Absolutely styles vs cena should main event Wrestlemania think vince has missed a trick here.
To be fair still think he can go for a good few years guy looks in great condition still.he is the best wrestler In the world right now.

[hibee62]

Cena v AJ has been amazing, although I imagine it will be put on the back burner now for a period. I've never liked Cena's character but you can't deny he can put on great matches with the right people. I heard a rumour of him being in a mixed tag match with Nikki Bella at 'mania and AJ wrestling Shane.

The prospect of Reigns beating Lesnar for the Universal title is awful, he really needs to turn heel if he is to become the face Vince wants him to be, similar to what The Rock did in the 90s. It also makes me worry what exactly they plan to do with Balor and Owens.

[hibs#1]

Looks like the hardys are returning. Kurt angle has said he will wrestle again and balor nearly back from injury the roster is starting to get stacked.shelton Benjamin should return when he is fit aswell.

Don't think mick foley is going to be there much longer I think he has to get surgery of dome sort,so wonder who will replace him.

Also braun strowman should beat roman reigns on Sunday but I doubt it.

Problem is, if owens hangs with oldberg, then it ruins the credibility of Lesnar as he got taken out in 5 seconds served well.

Feel bad for owens though. Has helped carry raw since balor got injured and has lost a good slot at wrestlemania for two part timers.

As for reigns beating strowman.... why???

Goldberg must be cleared to wrestle or he wouldn't have taken an F5 tonight. They booked themselves into a corner with the short match against Lesnar, the only saving grace is that Owens was distracted.

Vince clearly thinks Reigns is already on the superstar level alongside the likes of Rock, Austin, Undertaker, Cena, HHH, etc. Only explanation for his booking and the wrestle mania match he's getting. I'd expect him to win at WM too and wouldn't rule out him beating Lesnar for the title down the road. That's the way he's being booked at the expense of better, more popular wrestlers.

I am looking forward to Lesnar v Goldberg and Owens v Jericho even if I don't like the buildup or like where its heading after. I like the look of Rollins v HHH too but I expect Reigns v 'Taker to be disappointing and I don't see where Balor fits in at all, maybe the battle royal?

[SteveHFC]

The thing about AJ v Shane: it could be a really entertaining match although its not likely to be high technical quality as we're used to from AJ. But the whole attraction of Shane as a wrestler is his daredevil stunts, what is he going to be able to do in a match without any stipulations against a technical wrestler?

Anyone know if The Rock is planning on setting fire to some stuff this year?

[Onceinawhile]

Finn balor returned last night so is obviously cleared.
Good news.

[hibs#1]

Reigns to beat taker then Lesnar to beat Goldberg then reigns beats Lesnar and still nobody will care.

I don't even dislike reigns and I do think him beating undertaker is the right choice but they can't keep giving reigns all the big wins.could have at least let strowman beat him at fast lane which was the sensible idea.

The aj styles vs Shane match whilst no ideal it will still be a prominent match and could be fun I do like Shane but this wasn't my first choice for aj.Aslong as aj wins I'll tolerate it and of course they keep pushing him afterwords I'd say him and jericho are the most over on the roster currently.

Not against the miz cena tag match,just a singles match would have done.if cena is leaving again miz has to win the guy is killing it this past year.I don't mind seeing nikki and maryse rolling about togheter 😜

Think they are waiting to make sure rollins makes it 1st to see what they do with balor think it'll be either balor vs Joe or hhh.

Im sure I heard Xavier has a wife that hes been with for years too so Im sure he could be in trouble for his part in the tag team video.

Got caught up with the last couple of rows and smackdownse
I'd say they are building most of the fueds pretty well ko/y2j wyatt/orton hhh/rollins ambrise/corbin not overly fussed with goldberg/Lesnar but should be fun enough and even though I wasnt interested at 1st styles vs mcmahon is building up surprisingly well.
But I just can't get into taker vs reigns taker just looks and moves terribly and reigns needs a total over haul just like his cousins on smackdown.
They should have had reigns vs strowman or strowman vs big show at Wrestlemania.

Also find it weird they don't have anything for strowman,balor Joe or zayn right now.also enjoy cena vs miz should have been a singles match and Aries vs neville should be great aswell.

I'm not a hardcore fan but I sometimes watch it with the kids so I may be talking pish.
That Roman Reigns guy is absolutely rubbish. It seems like they are trying to make him a star but he just has no charisma and creates no interest.

They're trying to make them the next Cena, Rock etc of the company. That will be confirmed tonight if he goves over Taker. Outside WWE the guy has charisma etc but WWE won't let him be himself.

To be fair, it's the right result if he goes over taker. Taker is the companies past, reigns is (like it or not) the future.

Think Rollins and balor will be the biggest stars soon enough.

I agree it's the right result. Taker is finished but the reaction tonight if he goes over Taker will be worse than the royal rumble win in 2015.

You have guys like Roman, Seth, Balor, Corbin, Wyatt, Strowman, Owens, Zayn, Nakamura, Styles etc to carry the next few years with veterans like Y2J, HHH, Rock, Cena, Orton etc helping them along.

Should have been wyatt going over taker tonight
I'm guessing he's done after tonight apparently they are going on last plus they have Jim Ross doing commentary for it.

Great ppv overall. First 3 hours were the best i've seen for a long time in Wrestlemania.

Pre-Show:
Neville-Aries 8/10 - Great match to start the pre-show with.

Battle Royal 3/10 - Mojo winning makes no sense to me, would have been better if Zayn or Braun won it

Ambrose v Corbin 5/10 - First of all why was this on the pre-show?, Felt sorry for Ambrose going from WWE Champion to pre-show wrestlemania in 8 months.


Main Show:

AJ v Shane 8/10 - Great match as expected, that shooting star from Shane was brilliant but right man won here.

Owens v Y2J 7/10 - Another good match where Owens got his Wrestlemania moment.

Raw's Women Championship 6/10 - Bayley got her moment but not a high standard match as i expected.
Raw's Tag Team Championship 10/10 - The Hardy's pop when they came out was :top marks , also best match of the night for me. Jeff's still got it :hyper

Cena and Nikki v Miz and Maryse 5/10 - Pretty terrible match but congrats to Cena and Nikki on their engagement though. :aok:

Seth v HHH 7/10 - Another enjoyable match of the evening. HHH put over Seth and Stephanie took a bump through the table.

Orton v Wyatt 3/10 - This match felt rushed and worst match of the night for me.

Lesnar v Goldberg 9/10 - 2nd best match of the night for me even if it was only 4:45mins.

Smackdown's women's match 3/10 - Noami won the title in her hometown that's all that happened

Roman v Taker 5/10 - match was pretty terrible but Taker is pretty much done now going by the ending :(.



Overall 8/10 for the ppv. Best WM for a few years i think. Raw will be interesting tonight.

Pretty much my thoughts too, although I've not seen the cruiserweight match yet. I feel sorry for the smackdown women, their match was so pushed for time.

It's a poor match for taker to retire on, although they did the actual retirement part really well. He obviously couldn't have as good a match as in the past because of his physical issues but reigns is not the right person. Taker retiring is more a moment for the older fans than the younger fans, and reigns is definitely appealing to the wrong demographic for that.

[Hibbie_Cameron]

Just watched it. Didn't think it was great but certainly didn't think it was rubbish either. No real stand out match for me but a few 7/10's. Even the short matches were decent considering they never had much time.

The Cena stuff was just the utter pits though

[hibs#1]

Only watched parts so far.

Tag team match was great hardy boyz are still awesome and everybody else played there part well.hope they keep sheamus and cesaro together turned into a great team.

Hhh v rollins was great rollins is great in the ring.I've always hhh aswell no matter what anyone says about him he always gets in great shape puts his body on the line.

Styles vs Shane O'mac was good aswell styles is one of if not the best in the world and Shane is always entertaining.styles winning was right same as rollins.

Brock vs Goldberg was booked perfectly that's what you want to see from them again Lesnar winning was right.I'll probably be in the minority but hope Goldberg still has another couple matches.

Taker vs reigns not great not terrible but you can taker is really struggling.(not reigns fault)he probably should have finished after the hhh he'll in a cell match.but the the retirement bit was great and the result was correct taker deserves his retirement he owes nobody anything and has had some great moments over the years.

Now on to roman reigns.I can see why they want him as the main guy but they have pushed him all wrong he should got a really slow push instead they rushed it also I think he is still able save it if they charge some stuff.like his gear his music and his attitude he should be booked as uncaring bad ass.I would have had him absolutely demolish with the steel chair taker at the end.the raw crowd tonight will give him a torrid time could be some of the loudest boos ever.

Will watch the rest later.also wtf mojo rawley? You have big show,strowman,zayn,Samoa Joe,balor and others not doing much but they pick mojo ****** rawley?

[SteveHFC]

Hopefully Balor, Nakamura, Angle all debut/return tonight. :hyper

[hibee62]

Hopefully Balor, Nakamura, Angle all debut/return tonight. :hyper

I'm hoping so, but the latest rumour is that Nakamura is headed to smackdown with cena taking more time off. Dillinger and almas are also expected to debut this week after drew Galloway went back to nxt.

I really hope they turn reigns heel but I can't see it.

[Onceinawhile]

Balor back.

The revival debut.

New gm on raw. Don't believe me? It's true. It's damn true.

If so can we get AJ v Nakamura for WWE Championship at next year's WM please :hyper

I liked it when vince came out and the crowd loudly chanted roman sucks he hated it his face was a picture he'll still push him too the moon anyway.

[SteveHFC]

Think I may have to watch Raw and Smackdown again. Both were that good.

[SteveHFC]

WWE Live in Glasgow next month. Tempted to head through for this again but want to see who's on Smackdown first after the draft on monday.

[Steve-O]

Thought Mania was average (30 and 31 were better IMO).

Reigns is just sooo boring, including in the right. Compared to Goldberg, even now, Reigns' spear is truly awful. As us that superman punch!

Aslong I've said before they really don't help him with his booking or moves as you say nor his attire and entrance music.

Should just book him as a dick and let him change up his moves moveset a bit.superman punch is lame.

Drew Galloway/mcintrye Is in nxt now.

[hibs#1]

Strowman flipping the ambulance 😅

And getting cheered for attempted murder 😅

Smackdown done better than Raw in the draft.

You have Styles, Orton, Cena, Owens/Y2J, Zayn, Nakamura, New Day, Charlotte, Rusev now.

Styles-Nakamura will happen at next year's Wrestlemania and Cena-Nakamura will be at Summerslam. :cb

Got to say I'm surprised how over nakamura is on the main roster.he should beat orton for the wwe title.

Glad rusev is on smackdown could be so much better just evil foreigner no.8997 only thing that worries me is the video of lanar dancing please don't make rusev dance🙏

[Mantis Toboggan]

Any of you guys watch Lucha Underground?
Was at a show in Manchester last week with quite a few of those guys on the card. Angelico, killshot, pentagon plus a few more.

[SteveHFC]

Pretty good show tonight at the hydro. Got a wee preview of Nakamura-Ziggler match's tonight and it was awesome. Can't wait for their match at backlash.

Live shows are good because you'll get a preview of future matches and feuds. Atmosphere is low as expected but good to pass a few hours. :aok:

[hibs#1]

Wwe Is pretty boring at the minute always happens after Wrestlemania. Backlash this Sunday with jinder mahal main eventing(got to get that Indian money😉)

Just a few thoughts orton has zero need to champion again.nakamura is a star as is strowman(hopefully he isn't out too long)
Extreme rules 5 way sounds like a good idea
Charlotte is excellent,usos are 10 times better as heels now(bit shouty on promos)I'd like to know what's went wrong with American alpha?alexa bliss is great and so is heel neville and the miz.reigns is still reigns sadly.

[SteveHFC]

Strowman will get a massive pop on his return and turn face I reckon. That's how you push a new star without shoving them down your throats like they did with Reigns.

Want Strowman or Nakamura or Styles to win the rumble. But we know it's likely roman again since the main event is set for next year for WM34.

After watching Nakamura-Ziggler 2 weeks ago at the live event in Glasgow, I'm buzzing to see their match on Sunday.

Alexa though <3.

[hibs#1]

Takeover looked really good last night from the the bits and pieces I've seen.

They have so much talent right through just now it's unreal.hopefully Adam cole signs soon aswell.

I think they'll probably go with balor to get the whole "never lost the title" question out the way, and I'm somewhat worried what their long term plans are for him. I do think having a part-time champion is really hurting raw just now.

As long as they don't squash him. Raw was decent on Monday but I'm not sure where reigns goes from here. No rivalry at the moment.

The ironic thing is cocky heel reigns would probably get cheered 🤔still don't know why they don't give it a try at very least change his ring gear and entrance.the shield ended 3 years ago ffs😠

[hibs#1]

Samoa Joe killing it the last couple of weeks.heyman is a great manager as well they really should have more managers.

I only watched the 1st segment on raw this week the rest didn't look up to much.apart from joe/lesnar.

Is Cena not heading to Raw? Various online reports stating that he's a free agent and that he was drafted to Raw as part of the superstar shakeup a few months back. Hasn't made an appearance since Wrestlemania on the show as doing some work outside of wrestling and getting his wedding organised.

[portyhibernian]

I got a ticket for this last week, so far announced a few including the young bucks, Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian and Jay Lethal. Hoping for Marty Scurll and Cody Rhodes to appear.

Watched all of raw today for the 1st time in a while,it wasn't bad actually.Samoa joe still killing it,reigns promo was pretty good a bit more heelish,strowman is back and still awesome(the guy is a star.)
Miz Ambrose feud is not bad.seems mix is putting together a stable which is ok. Titus brand is pretty entertaining As well.
Big cass turning on enzo was well done not sure how far either can go without the other.think they should make Corey graves a manager or something.tag division is ok Neville is still great.tozawa is good As well,woman's division is crap.
