    Can King Woods overcome USOs and Heyman with Reigns if Kofi is out injured

    Jeff is still so over

    Toni is around and finally gets to ask for a title match

    Now who replaces Aliyah and Sami?

    Once again they ignore NXT's existence. Pat asking "Who was that?" about Von Wagner.

    I was wondering about that myself, presumably they'll go with Toni Storm for the women given she's made a challenge to Charlotte?

    For the men possibly Sheamus? Overall a mostly filler Smackdown, with no real established feuds they're all sort of kicking their heels till after Survivor Series.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,353 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Just to show how scripted Charlotte can be there was a couple seconds gap where she stopped talking and Toni's theme started. She may as well have said it as "Here's the thing... stop for music". I know that wasn't entirely her fault and the cue seemed to be missed, but she could at least attempt to keep going.

    Her promos are all the same as well, if you see one you've seen them all. I did get quite the laugh about her saying there was... 'nothing natural about Becky' though... 😂

    Has there been a worse build to a PPV?

    They showed a graphic that didn't even have the full team on it and had to explain Toni Storm should be there, that's is embarassing. Shotzi/Banks was pretty good.

    Not all that excited for most of the card for Survivor Series, had to look it up to be honest. Guessing Woods gets involved in the Big E/Reigns match so that one could be a letdown. They added a 25 man battle royale cause the Rock debuted 25 years ago, right. Remember the rumours about all the big stuff they were going to do for his anniversary, what a shambles.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,353 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    They probably expected The Rock to turn up and it fell through. I'd say they'd be advertising his appearance if he was coming.

    Ridge Holland, Sheamus's fellow Irishman. Though Pat did correct himself later.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,473 ✭✭✭ThePott


    Yeah that was my thought. Don't know if they're ever likely to get him back for a programme with Roman tbh.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,353 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Even though he seems to work a lot, I think he knows he doesn't need WWE as much as they need him and likely wouldn't want them to think they can call on him anytime they want.

    Or maybe he just isn't available.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,473 ✭✭✭ThePott


    I think the fact he's got so many projects in the works that if he were to wrestle and get injured it could mean a film being delayed or scrapped altogether at the cost of millions. Just don't think he can afford to do it nowadays. I'd read that when he was injured after WM 29 they were forced to delay the start of filming Hercules, not sure if it's true but he's even more in demand now and older again so I reckon the chance of injury is more likely and the impact would be even greater. I'm wondering if it's just one of these impossible "dream matches" at this stage.



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 26,295 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    He’s said before the movie studios insurance won’t cover wrestling and they would personally sue him if an injury from wrestling would delay a movie filming schedule.

    so I don’t ever see him wrestling again. Show up for a promo and a quick rock bottom/people’s elbow sure. But nothing more.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,473 ✭✭✭ThePott


    Yeah remember him saying that alright. I could only see it if it's his own production company and a studio that would want to keep him happy and if he really wanted to wrestle they might allow him. Definitely becoming a pipe dream at this stage though. I think from a quick look I figured out earlier that he's about the same age now that Hogan was when they wrestled at X-8. Which is nuts.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 92,193 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I'd love another world title reign for Jeff, he is still so over and wearing an Edge tshirt

    God I hate Angel and Humberto

    Drew is winning the battle royal

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,473 ✭✭✭ThePott


    Sami won.

    Is this one of those, please don't leave pushes?



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 57,745 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Same is happening with KO on Raw and it's exactly what I was thinking tbh.

    They're obviously keeping Drew on ice to dethrone Reigns at some point. Personally I think Hardy was a better winner than Zayn for that battle royale but either way it's fresh I suppose...? Not sure exactly what they're doing with Kayla they're hardly pushing her forward as Brock's mouthpiece...



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 26,295 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    I’ve a feeling zayn will get the wrath of lesnar before his title match can take place.

    Leans into Sami’s conspiracy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,353 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Yeah at first I thought Sami would use the fact he was never eliminated as part of the conspiracy. Knew there would be Brock news when the pointed out Kayla was at ringside.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 92,193 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Is Drew and Hardy heading for a feud, tag mates friends then enemies before one gets a chance at Reigns, Hardy would be better to feud with Reigns

    No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change this World



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 16,158 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Any KO and Sami will both have a similar feud where there is 0 hope they are winning.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,406 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Roman was great for a while, bit sick of him now though.



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 26,295 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    He is literally doing the same thing week in week out with no progression.

    It’s so boring. But what else would you expect WWE to do. Ruin their best act over and over and over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,151 ✭✭✭kksaints


    Problem is that they haven't built up a threat to him other than Lesnar and do people really want Lesnar as a part time champion again? I don't anyway.
