Maybe it will be a return to the compound for the house of horrors match, Matt Hardy can be a creative consultant on the match. Most likely gonna be poor though and Bray will of course lose while Orton will meander foward to his next challenger. Maybe they can build to someone like Nakamura at Summerslam if AJ & Owens are going to be in the US title scene for a while.

Maybe Finn dressed as the Demon will appear and cost Bray Wyatt the match

Orton vs Styles is touted for Summerslam i think

If the "House Of Horrors" match is anything like that match Jericho & Ambrose had, then that's the rain check match.

johnnyryan89

Give me the chamber of horrors over the house of horrors any day.

PTH2009

Obv as Brock is not contracted to appear at Payback than they had no choice but too add a SmackDown world title match to the ppv

The world title picture at the min is a bit of a mess

Two Smackdown title matches; Orton and Owens.

Does the 30 day rule not apply to Brock as Raw's world champ

CastorTroy

Do you want to be the one to tell him he has to relinquish the title?

The 30 day rule only seems to apply when someone is injured or if it's convenient for a storyline

Lithium93_

Apparently Orton/Wyatt isn't for the Championship now..

johnnyryan89

So basically what that's saying is we want Bray to go over to make him look strong going into his feud with Finn but we want Orton and the belt to remain on Smackdown. Can see Minded and the Bollywood Boyz getting involved costing Orton the match to make their feud more interesting.

no i want the demon finn balor to appear and cost wyatt the match but i can see the indian (think there actually canadian) lads costing orton the match

Im not sure does Finn even remember Bray Wyatt challenging him because he was half out of it at that stage lol

Neil3030

Finn got a fairly lucky win against Curt Hawkins on Monday, so I'd really like to see them go into a best of 7 series to determine who the better man is. That one could go all the way to SummerSlam if they built it properly.

Why would Finn, a face, logically interfere in this match? Dont get your hopes up on that one buddy :pac:

PTH2009

So this is tonight

Can't see anything major happening unless wwe are messing with us and y2j actually wins the us title but then loses it on raw or SD next week

Can't see Reigns losing either but if Strowman is going to be no 1 contender at gbof there going to have to make him look strong also

Wud love to the see the demon balor cosy bray wyatt the match vs Orton but they might be going with miz vs balor going by the kick off show

Wonder will we see the ceasro/sheamus heel turn after Harydz beat them and they try and shake there hands

Good to have a ppv on for the long weekend

Lithium93_

Completely slipped my mind that this was on tonight/tomorrow morning.

gerrybbadd

I'm half debating staying up for this. There's nothing I really am dying to see on, but I might just. For old times sake

Pentecost

I'll probably watch it, and more than likely fall asleep half way through. They'll probably have a couple of turns or screwy finishes just because it all looks a bit predictable. Sasha to cost Bayley the title is my prediction.

DM_7

The card is good.

Just feels second rate a few weeks after Mania as that heavily featured so many part timers who are not there now.

ERG89

Rematches to cold Mania matches that nobody asked for & you haven't built up effectively doesn't drum up much interest. Even on Smackdown Owens & Orton are already in their next feud.
Joe vs Rollins has been flat too. The Kingslayer is incredibly dull & I haven't openly looked forward to a Samoa Joe match since 2007, sorry but he's well past his best imo.
Braun vs Reigns could be a good brawl but this show is a B show they hope will over deliver.

PTH2009

Only tuned in a few mins ago entertaining enough segment but I really don't want to see Balor vs Lesner but doubt it will happen yet prob be miz vs balor or wyatt vs balor

Bounty Hunter

A million potential angles for Finn at once, Vs Wyatt, Vs The Miz, Vs Brock, hooking up with the rest of the Club. Speaking of whom were they on the pre-show already vs Enzo & Cass? I didn't watch anything prior to Miz TV

Yeah The Good Brothers were already in action.

PTH2009

?????

Shocking

Bounty Hunter

Well that was unexpected Y2J takes the title to Smackdown before going to Fozzyland

The Ayatolla

Absolute classic with Jericho and the kid with the list.

He really is the GOAT.

sky88

Wasn't expecting that at all

So is owens still on sd

Will prob lose it on Tuesday night and maybe kayfabe injured

martyos121

That was kind of smart. We know he's dropping the title on Tuesday now so people will tune in to see how that goes down.

Deeper Blue

Fairly stiff kick by Sheamus on Jeff there

PTH2009

Tbh never watched The Harydz in TNA so only knw all this broken, delete stuff from reading about it etc and don't really understand what it is but can't wait for it too start

WinnyThePoo

Imagine if Cesaros swing broke matt.

Imagine if one of the Harydz are injured and won't be in the 3arena next Friday I would be heartbroken

WinnyThePoo

Good Finish there.

Jeff just lost a tooth so needs dental surgery!

Funny how Matt was the one that ended up bleeding from the mouth.

Good match

martyos121

They're breaking the Hardys!

Deeper Blue

Not a fan of Booker on commentary

skipper_G

That was a good match, complete with a classic post handshake turn.

Bounty Hunter

I'd love if a Cruiserweight had Braun's beard, things mammoth

Pentecost

Enjoyed that. Jeff'll be grand after a visit to the dentist tomorrow. Not sure Sheamo needed to connect that well!

Ah he grand he can get it done Tuesday before they leave for Europe

That Russian guy doesn't look Russian

martyos121

I noticed one of the Bayley Buddies offed itself during her entrance lol.

Deeper Blue

That's not Lilian Garcia?? Sounds exactly like her

A Rogue Hobo

Have to say I wasn't gonna bother watching this but glad I did, been a cracking show so far. Definitely the sleeper hit of the year so far because I wasnt expecting much from it.

J. Marston

WWE and their hometown thing again.

martyos121

Yesss! Alexa is absolute money, delighted she won!

Deeper Blue

Alexa looks a star

skipper_G

Didn't expect that in Bayley's hometown. Not complaining mind you, life is better with more Bliss.

Deeper Blue

Orton has been stale for the best part of a decade and I've never been a big fan of Wyatt so I can't say I'm looking forward to this match. Somewhat intrigued at the gimmick though.
