PTH2009

Was expecting Cena to maybe have a chance to win the title but lights go out and Gong. Taker doesnt appear and Cena is rolled up by Styles

but with the latest rumours i dont think that will happen and

Rey Mysterio

is not a heel/antihero and not cost someone the title ???

is the title match an elimination match ?? rest of the card is meh and pure Nakamura has nothing to do

He can still lose at Fastlane without anyone costing him, come out on the next Raw/SD and say for sure he has no road to Mania and then he can get interrupted by Taker or that new rumour either

Overall though nothing interests me on the card whatsoever, not even worth a fast forward watch imo

PTH2009

Have a weird feeling were not getting a Styles win on Sunday and in fact it will be Cena who wins the title and at mania we wont get our dream 1 on 1 match but a triple threat for the title Cena vs Styles vs Nakamura but

Cenas schudule up to Mania doesnt mention him being on any SD events and might be a bit odd the WWE champion been on Raw and not SD ???

can see KO vs Zayn and maybe Corbin vs Ziggler coming from this 6 pack challenge match going into mania ???

i was thinking they might do a title switch to try get fans off the scent of a taker/cena match

A nice touch would be cena is about to do a finisher on someone for the win and the lights go out bong bong but nobody appears and then someone rolls cena up for the win but thats logic wwe wont do if they are going with Cena vs Taker

Meltzer is 95% sure the match is happening but he has been wrong a few times

It's a bit cheap for Taker to cost Cena the title because why?

I think more likely is he will lose at Fastlane, have nothing for Wrestlemania, and revisit the Undertaker scenario again. Use his mic skills to try and draw Taker out. It could go on for weeks, building anticipation until Undertaker finally shows.

Taker could feel disrespected in some way by Cena and feels the challenge was a bit cheeky

doesn't have to make sense sure Taker Siad SD was his yard and then never appeared on the show after that and then that Raw 25 promo

just have to wait and see. The rest of the fastlane card is meh. The Orton vs Roode match has potential but we knw Jinder will end up interfering

There is 0% chance of that match making the show, to the Andre The Giant Battle Royal for them both

Virtanen

Don't forget this starts at 12am (pre-show 11pm) as a result of the clocks going forward in the US this weekend

Same goes for all WWE programming until we put ours forward on the 25th

SureYWouldntYa

It's poor when one of the only plusses of the card is the fact it ends an hour earlier than normal

Stop that, stop that right now.

J. Marston

It is something they'd do. He'll still "look strong" since it's a six man match and the odds are hugely stacked against him.

handy it's on at 12 Instead of 1am

J. Marston

Usos vs New Day should be great but we've seen it before.

No interest in the clusterfúck main event. Styles pins Ziggles or Corbin.

That women's tag match barely belongs on Smackdown.

Shíte looking PPV.

Could be on at 11 and I still wouldn't be bothered, think it's more indicative of WWE Creative, they've had how many weeks to drum up interest for the PPV. It's just a glorified episode of Smackdown Live.

Blue_Dabadee

At least this will be the last ever brand exclusive PPV.

Smackdown creative more than wwe as raw has been quite good the last while

I think this sums tonight up

I can't believe that seeing Ziggler in a title match used to excite me.....he needs to go away now.

Unfortunately he was just never utilised properly

PTH2009

did Rusev slim down a bit ?

seandotcomm

Nakamura should be steamrolling over someone tonight if there's to be any sort of credibility to him winning at Mania

sky88

That was a great match to start off

Again just shows how wasted rusev is at the minute

Great match but the outcome was so obvious.

And as for the match now I can’t remember the last time Orton didn’t bore me in a one on one match.

Yep orton is just the most meh wrestler. There was a brief upturn when he teamed the wyatts but that went downhill very drastically

Loughc

Christ Orton as US champion. Boring.

chatticusfinch

We need a Boreton Wins Lol gif; the man hasn't given a flying **** in a very long time.

chatticusfinch

Becky is channelling Bam Bam Bigelow with that outfit, but in fairness to her, she makes it work.

Becky the jobber. That’s her full title these days.

sky88

Add becky to my comment on rusev being missused 2 consistently over people that get so little to do.

Becky push or lack of reminds me of christian were there over with fans but never the office but there seen as reliable hands

chatticusfinch

Ah she's not in Alicia Fox territory yet; there's a feud and a half brewing when she eventually does a heel turn and clocks Charlotte in the jaw.

Angron

This could be a good match, but jaysis I'm tired of Usos vs New Day.

chatticusfinch

They need to ship Finn and the Club to Smackdown, I think it would work a treat.

Angron

...what in the name of f*ck was the point of that text on the screen.

Could happen as AJ rumoured to be joining Raw after mania.

sky88

I know weve seen this a lot but they always deliver

Loughc

Harper and Ronan are in great condition.

Angron

Suspiciously light looking hammers :pac:

martyos121

Just wondering how many weeks it’ll be before they ruin the Harper and Rowan yet again. I give it till the end of April.

sky88

So with us title and tag and ic title looking triple threat matches i guess one gets more people added id guess ic title

chatticusfinch

That schmozz felt a good bit like a Smackdown episode, to be honest. Usos and New Day always give it their all though. Really liking the BBros

JamieHP

Ruby just isn't ready imo

Definitely not.

PTH2009

reckon they will set up Shane vs Ziggler in this match

why is that pairing happening is the question ?

Angron

Heh, I liked that there was "Caution" tape up where Ziggler was going through the barricade.

chatticusfinch

This is a great main event so far.

Angron

Nice kick from Owens there.
