    Heel turn coming.

    I was thinking the same until Big Show's music came on!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,237 ✭✭✭ceegee


    Any guesses for mondays announcement? Could they use Rock's outside interference as a reason to swerve away from Reigns Lesnar?

    I think they might hold off till RAW no point of turning him heel on a show no one watches :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 802 ✭✭✭KingJamsie


    "Major announcement'' Monday...another rumble at Fast Lane? :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,348 ✭✭✭✭ricero


    The rock to be involved at mania me thinks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    If they want to make it look like he can beat Lesnar he should be throwing The Big Show around just like Lesnar would.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,166 ✭✭✭Stereomaniac


    Is he able to throw The Big Show around? They should be making him look not QUITE as strong.

    I was half sure we'd be getting either Dean or Orton there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,166 ✭✭✭Stereomaniac


    I said to myself, "this is going to be Ryback" It would have made too much sense for it to be Dean.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 802 ✭✭✭KingJamsie


    Reigns week gets worse


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,135 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    Bring out Reigns, I wanna hear Rusev get cheers again.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    WWE is rigging online polls now. Is there anything sacred left?

  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,135 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    Is...is he facing him for the US title? Cause otherwise saying "The Champ is here!" makes no sense.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,135 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    I'm so glad they didn't have some nonsense at the end there so Roman could be the hero and save Bryan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,166 ✭✭✭Stereomaniac


    Daniel Bryan is chipping away at what he's being given at the moment, and he's as good as ever.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,788 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Oh ****, I completely forgot about this. :(

    That opening segment was absolute piss. They really need to stop trying to find ways to portray that the fans want something completely different to what they actually want. Either put on a show that the fans want to watch or be straight up about the fact that you've no intrrest in doing that.

    Those Kane segments were the height of ****. Bryan knocked it out of the park as always though.

    Hope they do go with a Ziggler and co v Rollins and co 6man at Fastlane. Serious potential.

    Cena and Rusev did a good job. Early on Rusev looks capable of being an actual heel against Cena which is commendable.

    Bryan, Ziggler, Reigns and Orton vs Big Slow, Rollins, Kane and Wyatt. As long as they keep Reigns to his 5 moves of doom near the end and Show and Kane out of the match as much as possible. Then let the other 5 go then you get a match. Let Bryan and Rollins call that match. You could have a very good main event.

    It must be scary for WWE seen the guy they chose been outpopped by the guy they made look a tit at the RR (Bryan) and by their number 1 heel (Rollins). But throwing Reigns the useless Big show is not going to do him any favours.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,135 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    I think the Kane segments would have been fine if it'd just been the first one as a bit of build to the match, people could have forgiven it. But the fact that they went back two or three times, just to show Kane looking at/stroking the casket made it weird.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,011 ✭✭✭Tugboats


    Terrible show. The highlight of the show was Rusev on the mic. He was impressive


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 787 ✭✭✭Deadlie


    I get the feeling the big announcement on Raw will be a quick way to turn Reigns heel. Another "B player" scenario or something perhaps?

    I would guess HHH will put Reigns in a match at Fast Lane probably 3 or 2 on 1 and if he loses gone is his WM title shot or maybe even have Reigns team with The Rock


    Wyatt fears nothing living or dead, so will Taker put him over at WM


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,587 ✭✭✭The White Feather


    Just finished watching it now.

    HHH started off not too bad with the humour about the deflategate but then it went downhill wihen Roman came out and talked and the announcers ramming home that Reigns succeeded against the odds.

    As everyone says I like Reigns but when he has trouble talking and clotheslining Big Show out of the ring as well as a head scissors all looks terrible WWE really has to change course.

    It all was cringeworthy and I was trying to just go with it but he makes it difficult esecially when you see Bryan later.

    Crowd seemed either 50/50 or probably 60/40 against him.

    Kane segments I didnt really look at as they seemed cringeworthy too but i will let it slide as it seems like an official end to their feud so Im guessing they wanted to make it mean something.

    Seth did some stelar work as usual and as others have said Rusev really stepping it up on the Mic.

    Loved the Daniel Bryan match with Kane that finally finishes their feud

    Reigns is going to be booed out of Wrestlemania if things stay the course that they are.

    there is absolutely nothing they can do to stop it.

    and it's going to be glorious tbh.

    Use the real life things to make the best of it
