    Bayley for me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,108 ✭✭✭johnnysmack


    If this is being judged by what they have done since being called up then it has to be kalisto simply because Bayley was only called up a few weeks ago and hasn't had a chance to do anything.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,492 ✭✭✭thebostoncrab


    I agree, they really haven't done much with Bailey while Kalisto had a US title run and was part of one of the most over recent tag teams in the company. Kalisto for the win


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,301 ✭✭✭✭gerrybbadd


    Ooh, the deciding vote for me looks like, with Bailey on 3.

    I'm voting for her as well, because i fell she will have the better future on the main roster. I like Kalisto, but i think they've wasted him.

    Bayley slips into the quarter final at the expense of the Lucha Dragon. We continue with a clash of the titans next.

    Kevin Owens for me had a standout first year

    Rusev is great but I just think Owens has been that bit better


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,922 ✭✭✭johnnyryan89


    While both are great and Rusev will go on to have his own world title reign sometime, it's not called the Kevin Owens show for nothing

    KO


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,689 ✭✭✭sky88


    Both are great very tough one but I the universal title win swings it for Owens


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Owens for the win. His time in NXT was brief but effective and on the back of that they got behind him in a big way.

    I'm a fan of Rusev and he's done well too but there was a period where they lost interest in him with the League of Nations.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    Kevin Owens.

    Rusev is crushed by the longest reigning Univeral Champion of all time. Next up we have former champions of different divsions clashing.

    Charlotte. I genuinely believe that she'll go down as one of the great female wrestlers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    I would go Charlotte.

    Wasn't her match with Natalya on NXT one of the reasons WWE decided to get behind women's wrestling more than they had been doing? That match was probably the first great women's match on NXT and when she went to the main roster she kicked on and became a great heel.

    I like American Alpha but they haven't done as much in WWE as she has.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,689 ✭✭✭sky88


    Charlotte. Alpha haven't done much so far but they'll come good.

    Chariots e has been great since her heel turn.


  • Posts: 2,812 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Im gonna go with Charlotte she helped make me interested in womans wrestling again, the last time I was interested in it was when Kong used to go up against Gail Kim in TNA.


  • Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    The second generation star gets past the second round without a blemish against her, Woooooooo! A very interesting contest is up next.

    I will go for Harper on the basis that he's a far better worker and I sensed before his absence more and more fans were picking up on that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,556 ✭✭✭Blue_Dabadee


    I am going to go with Erick Rowan, I enjoyed his mini-babyface run in 2014.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,689 ✭✭✭sky88


    Harper one of the most underrated guys on the roster. He's the best of all the wyatts I think.

    This times 100. Harper is a great big man and has made a bigger impact on the main roster than Rowen.

    Harper. Intercontinental Champion, Wyatt has missed him more than when Rowan wasn't there and a much better worker with a better look. I did enjoy Rowan's face run though it ultimately went nowhere.


  • Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Ironically, the currently injured Harper is the last Wyatt standing in this tournament. Two big call ups prepare to do battle in our next bout. First to four.

    Seth Rollins, great matches either with the shield or without. Was the main guy after he won the belt.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,753 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    Seth Rollins, a real main eventer


  • Posts: 6,773 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Definitely Rollins he's been WWEs standout since he split from the shield and was incredible in the shield


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,689 ✭✭✭sky88


    Rollins by a long way. Has been one of the top performers since he was called up.

    Sasha has been shown up since her call up. Been disappointed in matches with n general except her big matches at mania and were she won the title.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,301 ✭✭✭✭gerrybbadd


    Also Seth. One of the best in ring performers of the past 20 yrs IMO. Get a real Shawn Michaels vibe from him. Has a major future ahead of him too.

    My pick to win it all


  • Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Banks is sent packing mercilessly by The Man. Will he go the whole way in this? Who can stop him. More intergender action follows.

    Becky for sure. Smackdown has put her front and centre on WWE tv where as Corbin has disappeared
