Generally interesting shows when stuff like this happens

I'm struggling to think of any, except the Raw post Roman Reigns' first Rumble win which was a crapstorm at the time, Lesnar and himself had a sit down interview iirc

Lord TSC · 03-02-2020 10:26PM

The NXT invasion of Smackdown after the asaudi delay was pretty good.

CastorTroy · 03-02-2020 10:36PM

Well I see Liv replied to a Lana tweet a few mins ago saying to watch her on Raw.
So we get 3 hours of that storyline

Lord TSC · 04-02-2020 12:03AM

Seth vs Richochet vs Lashley announced anyway. Winner gets a title shot vs Brock at Super Showdown.

Guessing Ricky wins given they are a bit linked in story, and the other two are baddies.

sky88 · 04-02-2020 12:10AM

For the Saudi show I wouldn’t be surprised if bobby wins

CastorTroy · 04-02-2020 12:33AM

I was going to say Seth wins as the only guy with hair, but how would they feel about a Messiah main eventing?

J. Marston · 04-02-2020 12:55AM

I want Brock vs Ricochet. Lesnar ragdolling Ricochet for 10-15 minutes would be entertaining.

Edit: Nice to see Ruby back. Although that was the most obvious incoming heel turn ever.

PTH2009 · 04-02-2020 02:32AM

Great crowd for a city that just had a snowstorm. If that was Ireland we should be shut down (memories of 2018)

Silent/mental Orton is the best

J. Marston · 04-02-2020 02:12PM

Some people are just meant to be heel and Rollins is one. The cackle, the shít-eating grin, the smugness.

He plays it so well but he plays it so well that the vicious circle will continue in that he will become so cool as a heel that people will start cheering him again.

Becky is at her best as smug and cocky too and that's back too.

CastorTroy · 04-02-2020 07:46PM

Weird Ruby return with the walking out like that.
And poor Liv had to come out to Lana's music

Rhea's contacts are new, aren't they?
Thought Becky was going to go the heel route, especially when she said about defending her precious title so close to Mania.

So is Ivar genuinely injured or are they playing into the Joe injury?

kevin owens :O

Ruby deserved better all due respect to Liv. That was a woeful return and predictable.

ThePott · 04-02-2020 10:14PM

This Lana/Lashley/Rusev/Liv feud seems so aimless.
As soon as Ruby came out I was like please don't have her attack Liv, it's way too obvious but of course.
Does this even tie in at all? Like I'm genuinely confused at what they're going for with all of it.

Prefer Angel Garza as a heel, that pulling off the pants schtick was getting old. Are they just going to dump him back on NXT though once Andrade is back? Rhea segment was good but camera work is shocking. Really liked the Becky segment as well.
Brock/Ricochet could be fun.

Really wondering in my head what Seth's mania match will be right now.

The White Wolf · 05-02-2020 05:29PM

On paper I'm a fan of Rhipley against Charlotte purely because it sounds more interesting than her WOOOOOOOOOO winning the Raw or SD title again.

But for me it's irritating when they have a stacked women's roster on NXT who don't get the opportunities they deserve. This muted bout is going to limit that opportunity even more.

I guess the other way to look at it is this means the NXT Women's title will 100% be defended at Mania. I'd say it wouldn't have made the pre-show otherwise.

If they do this right, they can make a star out of Rhipley. Making one properly is probably a better option than having two NXT people fight in front of silence.

Furious-Red · 05-02-2020 07:23PM

At least it will be a fresh enough womens match for a change but i really hope they have Rhea go over Flair.

CastorTroy · 05-02-2020 10:41PM

So guess they're ignoring Bianca.
And will Rhea pull a Cole that weekend and fight at Takeover as well

Agent Coulson · 11-02-2020 02:42AM

Worst Fake blood ever and beeping Becky saying jesus christ over and over again along with Becky's over acting lol

J. Marston · 11-02-2020 02:43AM

So Shayna's main roster gimmick is a vampire?

Feels like they blew through three weeks worth of angles last night with Becky/Shayna. The attack/bite, the ambulance and the promo.

Lord TSC · 11-02-2020 12:31PM

I loved it.

Establishes Shayna instantly as a vicious villain for Becky, on a level no one else is.
Gave Becky a proper challanger, but gave her the quick return promo too, in order to establish she's still that arrogant babyface who takes no ****.

With both Shayna and Rhea, the fact is a large chunk of the audience won't know much about them, so you have to go in hard on them quickly.

I liked the idea to introduce Shayna as an almost Bane like character that the face has no idea how to defend agaist, just thought the execution was poor.

Is it safe to say that Drew is pretty over right now? That segment with MVP was great. Really good having MVP back in a speaking role too, he's so natural on the mic.

CastorTroy · 11-02-2020 06:39PM

Have to question the local medical facility's handling of Becky. She arrives in an ambulance, they drug her and treat the wound, but don't clean the blood then let her leave while drugged to drive an ambulance? I'm sure she wasn't the most cooperative patient but still.
Don't understand why they went with the biting. Seems random. don't think Shayna was that vicious in NXT, outside breaking arms.

Once again they advertise the 8 man tag in advance then try and make it seem like a surprise when the Raiders and Joe come to help Owens.

Guessing after the last time they have less volunteers to go to Saudi Arabia. From Greatest Royal Rumble to tag team gauntlet to singles gauntlet. I see Andrade in there. He probably couldn't refuse after his time off

Agent Coulson · 11-02-2020 07:05PM

She arrives in an ambulance she stole after beating up the ambulance crew.

Sounds like it's official anyway. Buddy Murphy was introduced as Murphy.

Would not surprise me if Brock retained at mania and it may take another few months to win the big one
