How did these 2 matches happen or should I even bother asking, WWE logic :rolleyes:

Mr.Nice Guy

The promo for this with Alexa Bliss is strange and creepy but I like it.

Agent Coulson

Oh lots of questions Alexa!





I wonder are the masks hinting at someone else debuting?

Kankan14

That promo doesn't mention one match on the card but it looks class!

oneilla

The ad looks like they were going for a Harley Quinn rip-off.

I'm looking forward to the two main matches on this. Hope they deliver as WWE haven't had a great year match quality wise relative to the past few years.

Lord TSC

I am so incredibly thirsty for a Strowman title reign.

Same. HEs come along way from his rosebud days and the awkward Wyatt family debut

sky88

He just has to win it at no mercy

His progress in a few years of wrestling is phenomenal one of the few complete performance center success stories

PTH2009

Rumours around that Taker will appear after the Cena vs Reigns match (will Cena vs Reigns go on last after Lesner vs Strowman ???)

I know a lot of people would be against it but if love to see a Cena vs Taker match (well they fought before but that was the American bad ass taker and Cena was only starting out)

Bounty Hunter

I still wish it was Cena vs Taker at Mania, now I don't like the idea of Taker returning considering they did the whole leaving the hat, coat and gloves in the ring thing after he faced off against Reigns.

I wonder does the fact that Cena will be off for an extended period filming Bumblebee mean that Reigns is going over here. As much as people have hated on Cena in the past, reigns going over him will not make "The Big Dog" get over, instead I can imagine a Rumble esque response from the crowd with Cena taking the Rocks place and holding Reigns hand up in victory while the boos ring out around the arena.

Thankfully it won't be the main event though Braun/Brock will be awesome!

Those two matches being announced could do the job of keeping people who only joined up for Summerslam subscribed instead of them then cutting the cord after their free month.

I remember how on the Raw after Mania they were saying things like "probably Undertakers last match", now Reigns comes out and says he retired him a lot, lots of heels have said similar after putting guys on the shelf when the guy was never retiring

There was no serious talk of it being Takers last match leading up to Mania iirc, but it was being presented as such during the pre show and then it went on last

I'm thinking now they were covering themselves in case the surgery Taker was going to have didn't work out and if it was his real retirement it's still done in a proper way, but not a definitive final way

If he is to come back please let it be for a Reigns rematch, it's great when the crowd is truly behind one person and fully against another. If it's Cena it's just a cool marquee match that hasnt been done.

PTH2009

Actually looking forward to this ppv

Regins vs Cena is a big deal and is a mania worthy match. I'm seeing Reigns winning. Is this the first singles between the two??? I knw they have tag matches against and with each other???

Hoping for Strowman to win the title, can't wait for that match and I hope they let them at it and make it the monster brawl it should be

Not too excited about Jordon vs Miz, don't want to watch Angle cry when his 'son' wins the title

Hopefully this is the end of Balor vs Wyatt, for a rivialry which had so much potential it bombed a bit

Where's Samoa Joe gone? I don't recall seeing him on raw the last few weeks.

Is he not injured?

Injured, and it's hard to see where he'd fit in anyway so it could be a blessing in disguise until after this PPV where he should be back in the title scene after should Strowman win

PTH2009

Maybe Joe will interfere in one of the matches??

Be cool if he attacked whoever wins the title match or maybe in the Cena vs Reigns match ???

SureYWouldntYa

I wouldn't mind him interfering in Reigns/Cena, the match can be done on a bigger stage some other time and it puts off WWE having Reigns beat Cena for now, and then we can see who the best Samoan joe is

But let him stay away from the Braun/Lesnar match because we need a proper finish for that now imo

Lord TSC

I really, really want a proper torch passing here, and have Brawn kill Brock like Brock killed Cena...

Lithium93_

Definitely hoping for no interference in Lesnar & Strowman's match, just let them tear each other to bits.

Lord TSC

I feel as if every now and again, a moment comes where WWE can properly get behind a genuine new talent at the top of the card. Tonight, it's Brawn. He's so hot right now, the crowd react so strong, he's got the look...

...I really, really want them to capitlaise on this and give Brawn the god damn title.

Loughc

I have the worrying feeling they’re going to stick to their Lesnar passing the torch to Reigns at WM.

I'm not keen on another unstoppable champ run but at least Strowman would be around.

Kinda enjoying the feeling that most of these matches could go either way.

PTH2009

Really want Strowman to win but are they really going to let Brock lose the title at a non big 4 PPV ??

How many matches has Brock lost since returning in 2012 ???

Agent Coulson

Lesnar & Strowman has screwy finish written all over it.

Insect Overlord

Midnight start, or 1:00 a.m?

CastorTroy

3 hour show so 1am start off don't include the preshow. Keep forgetting it's on tonight.

J. Marston

Really don't like single show PPV's.

Kankan14

Off tomorrow so I'll watch this.

There's two big 4 PPV standard matches on this. Doesn't happen often on a 'B' PPV.

I expect to be let down :-)

PTH2009

Whats closing the show Strowman vs Lesner or Reigns vs Cena??

The Ayatolla

Reigns / Cena to end in a false finish, double DQ, double count-out? Can't see a decisive winner on a "B" PPV.

maybe an interference by a new stable (AOP debuting), Joe or an angry Strowman or Lesner comes out and cleans house. Imagine if Rollins and Ambrose come out and help Reigns win and the shield return :D

I definitely wouldn't rule out the latter. They three of them are crying out for something "big" and have been stale for quite a while now.

It does feel like set up for a match to decide whose yard it is further down the line with or without Undertaker since they seem to be skirting around it as the reason Cena's fighting Reigns.

Cena heel turn?

sky88

Finn has been posting a lot pictures lately with Karl Anderson which i don't remember him doing before wonder if they reunite the wyatts to go against the club setting the club tup to go against the shield cause this finn/wyatt feud is going no were

Rock Lesnar

Im half expecting Vince to help Owens, to set up Vince v Shane at Mania, ha

Can't blame ya so many ppvs happening but after tonight there's only 4 ppvs left for 2017 (2 SD, 1 Raw and Survivor Series) and you could include NXT Takeover too and this Starcade thing

It's funny how Reigns has been in 3 Wrestlemania main events, winning 2 of them and beating 2 of the best ever in the process

Yet he needs a passing the torch moment, I'm not having a go at you it's true this seems to be the most likely setup

That's probably been their plan for the main event since last year, Vince has had his plans ruined at 30 and 31 so he's going to keep to his plans for 32 and 34 I'm thinking

The only way I can see a win for Strowman tonight is a heel turn by Heyman, or Heyman screwing Braun to keep the title with Lesnar. I want a decisive finish tonight, it's either Braun's time or Lesnar is still the top dog, but WWE love to stretch things out and I can see another match between these 2 at the Rumble down the line

Asuka

to debut at TLC next month.

J. Marston

Elias is great.

johnnysmack

Miz getting a great reaction from the crowd, sounds like Jason Jordan is getting the roman reigns treatment from them though!

J. Marston

Oof, the post-match promo from Jordan. Guy hasn't an ounce of charisma.

Yeah that promo back fired a bit. He could be an ok heel when the truth comes out about the whole angle being his dad

cian68

oh my goodness that promo was poor. Zero ability to improvise to win over the tough crowd. Was that really the best he/the writers could come up with?

johnnysmack

I reckon bray will win tonight seen as it's 'man vs man' with no demon.

Lithium93_

New Being The Elite has my interest more than No Mercy...

PTH2009

Finns new ring gear is horrible

Rjd2

network been crap tonight for anyone? keeps freezing for me.

Agent Coulson

I thought we were going to see Bloody Sunday there.
