Furious-Red

I seen somewhere online that some lad called Bryce Hall could be debuting soon. There was footage of a run through of his entrance including his titantron etc so maybe he is arriving to set up something for wrestlemania

Seth Rollins tests positive for COVID19

so then Becky is out for Saturday so no raw woman's title match. So no Seth and KO and no Becky and liv then.

He's a Logan Paul/Jake Paul type Youtube, TicTok fighter.

The hype for this PPV is unreal with only 4 replies in this thread.

Pentecost

I might watch it actually. I haven't seen Raw or Smackdown in months but somehow I reckon I'll catch up.

J. Marston

Saturday night PPVs are the job.

Still a shìt card though.

JP Liz V1

Vince might pull a surprise and put the title on his new muse best mate Austin Theory

Pentecost

I'd doubt the card will end up being as advertised given the Covid situation.

PTH2009

Have no real appetite for this but I'll watch regardless

Itssoeasy

This PPV is lucky it’s on a Saturday. That’s all I’m saying and it seems there’s pictures of Becky debuting new ring gear.

Kickoff Pre-show

Ricochet and Cesaro vs. Sheamus and Ridge Holland

J. Marston

Roman has Covid, match is off. Brock is in the 4-way making it a 5-way.

Hope Roman will be OK and BigE retains

JP Liz V1

Lesnar against Lashley and KO is enticing

orecir

Fantastic stuff from wwe creative on such short notice.

Could of easily pulled Brock but they give the fans what they want.

Itssoeasy

not shocked that Roman has covid because omicron is so transmissible it was bound to happen.

ThePott

Slightly worried, Brock wins the title and they do a winner take all match between him and Roman at Mania.

CastorTroy

Owens to take the pin now that he's signed his contract?

Itssoeasy

ridge Holland got his nose rearranged and left the match which sheamus won by pinning cesaro. Also, JBL sounds like **** and Kayla has been laughing for no reason through the kick off show.

~Rebel~

The New Day’s affected British royalty voice thing irritates the bejesus out of me. It’s making me really dislike them the longer it goes on!

To make it worse, Zelina is doing the same thing - though her attempts sound Australian half the time.

Itssoeasy

The USOs win in a match that took a while to get going but was cooking by the end. Decent match in fairness.

~Rebel~

Drew wins. Of course Drew wins. We all knew Drew was going to win, even though there was absolutely nothing on the line. Match itself was grand - I’ve just no idea what it’s doing on a PPV.

Floppybits

Jaysus whoever did the fake tan job on the Miz should be sacked. He looks the colour of gone off chicken.

deafroadrunner

I absolutely love that brood theme song

Floppybits

Liv Morgan screeching is off putting.

Itssoeasy

Love that the rumble is on a Saturday.

Itssoeasy

Brock wins the title. And I think it’s lesnar and lashley at either the rumble or mania.

Lord TSC

You’d wonder who got the phone call of “So, Roman has Covid so you won’t be winning the title tonight, Brock is, byyyeeeeee”.

I like fast paced main events like that one, but the second it ended with Brock winning, I was immediately reminded by why I’ve stopped watching recently. Just don’t find other Brock reign at all interesting.

Probably Mania? They'll have to give Big E a rematch surely? After all the outpouring of love for Big E winning the title he gets to successfully defend it a sum total of 0 times on PPV (I think his only actual defences were against Lashley in the cage match and that random Austin Theory match, both on Raw).

J. Marston

Ricochet breaks someone's nose with his stupid flippy shìt. God he irritates me.

orecir

Ricochet is the ****. Guy is vastly overrated by the smarks.

Lesnar winning the title makes sense and was needed. Big E was going nowhere with the title.

Lesnar vs Lashley at wrestlemania. Shut up and take my money!

RollieFingers

LOL at reading Big E lost his title to Lesnar, he definitely needed the rub. The WWE marks will love it I guess but they have killed Big E, back to the mid card pal!

Itssoeasy

It was nasty to see on the replay where they slowed it down. His foot hit ridge Holland square on the nose. It’s why I’m not a massive fan of these types of moves as you lose the ability to control them.

PTH2009

At least we know Brock won't be winning the rumble now but knowing wwe they could have him lose the title and then win the rumble

connemara man

Big E envokes his rematch clause but wants it at wrestlemania, he then goes into the rumble wins then goes after Roman

Wins and unites the belts

I can dream right

J. Marston

Should've held off on E losing the title until the Rumble and given him a competitive one-on-one with Brock. Anyway, it'll still be Brock/Roman. They're stubborn as fúck and not gonna divert from those plans. The one thing that would make me semi-interested is if it was a title unification thing with a new belt but that's not happening.

Becky/Liv was the drizzling shíts. It's like Becky has traded her wrestling ability for hotness since she came back. Seriously regressed in the ring. Have Rhea blast through her in 3-4 minutes for the title at the Rumble. Also, Liv is useless.

"The WWE marks will love it I guess." Someone got banned from the AEW thread for the same type of transparent petty shíte this week but it's allowed outside there.

It's annoying. Especially when thinking does he have to do that move? It is not his finisher or the finish to the match.

I get that he might have hit that 1000 times before. But any 450 or variant is a dangerous move.

Mod Hat On

If you think someone is a repeat troll who has been given constant warnings to change their behavior and refused to do so, please do not hesitate to contact the mods or report a post. In the mean time, probably better not to drag threads like this into petty squabbles between posters, or start trying to drag threads off topic into criticisms of moderations you don't agree with. If there's anything you want to discuss further, you know how to use the PM function.

Is there rematches anymore?

I feel for BigE, Seth could have taken the pin, hope BigE wins the Rumble now

Lesnar likes taking titles off New Day first Kofi now BigE

CastorTroy

Shows how much they really plan ahead when a last minute addition to the match wins the title. And if they wanted to put the title on Brock, at least have him pin someone other than Big E to save Big E a bit.

And looks like Becky was meant to win by getting her feet on the rope as could see her reaching but not succeeding.

JP Liz V1

Can Brock appear on both shows now?

Sirsok

Are people actually upset Big E took the pin? Protecting people's character is all bollix in wrestling to be honest....

Nothing wrong with losing cleanly, people put to much emphasise on that. The best sports people or teams lose every once and awhile.

It's forgotten by the next show.

First wwe show I watched in about 5 months, enjoyed parts but mostly a negative experience to be honest. A product not really designed for my generation, a product that is not really designed for any generation it seems.

orecir

Turning Lesnar face was a stroke of genius.

The fans love it and so does Brock. Really freshens his character up.

Might be a hot take but I was never particularly enamoured with Becks in ring. Just something about her that never quite flows.

Pentecost

Haven't watched this as yet but Becky has always been a bit hit and miss in the ring. Capable of some excellent matches with the right opponents, particularly the ones that are semi decent themselves, but she has also had quite a few stinkers.
