Sami won.

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

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...

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

Leans into Sami’s conspiracy.

CastorTroy · 27-11-2021 3:37pm

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.

JP Liz V1 · 27-11-2021 3:49pm

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

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

J. Marston · 27-11-2021 8:16pm

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

Loughc · 27-11-2021 8:21pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118233039#Comment_118233039

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.

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.

Lesnar is back this week

CastorTroy · 04-12-2021 12:31pm

Good to see both Brock and New Day earning their title shots.

Imagine being the guys in the back working every week for a title shot only for guys who take weeks/months off to just come in and be handed a title shot.

Has there been any reference to Day One being the Usos former catchphrase or at least similar, Day One-ish.

What do the guys who come to the ring before ads/recaps do the whole time? Like how long was it between the time Sami got to the ring and he spoke? I think there were 2 sets of ads, the Naomi/Sonya bit and the Raw Rebound.

I look forward to constantly being reminded that Xia Li is WWE's first Chinese female competitor.

ThePott · 04-12-2021 1:26pm

Really liked the Sami/Brock stuff at the start. Aside from that it was a bit of a meh episode.

Not sure the point of Sami having won just to throw it out the window immediately. Guessing Brock will be Roman's opponent at Mania this year ultimately. Are they really building the women's feud around cream pies? What decade are we in? Has Vince been watching the Three Stooges or something?

orecir · 04-12-2021 1:42pm

Quality stuff from start to finish.

Zami and Brock was very entertaining stuff throughout the night.

J. Marston · 04-12-2021 2:39pm

I thought Brock would struggle badly without Heyman but he's great fun on the mic.

CastorTroy · 04-12-2021 2:40pm

Paige making a return?

RKBro on SD

Loughc · 10-12-2021 10:25pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118303108#Comment_118303108

Why? What’s the point of having RKBro on Smackdown?

CastorTroy · 10-12-2021 11:16pm

Xia to face one of the women, "local talent" or not have an official match?

~Rebel~ · 11-12-2021 12:00am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118303505#Comment_118303505

With all her promo stuff being about standing up to bullies and vultures, I wouldn't be surprised if they use that angle with some ongoing feud. Would fit with the Sonya/Naomi thing anyway, with Xia stepping in against the power-tripping boss Sonya.

JP Liz V1 · 11-12-2021 12:38am

Apparently Toni has to win against champ Charlotte to then get a title match

ThePott · 11-12-2021 12:49am

That's been the case for a while with these 'Championship Contender' matches, they're incredibly dumb. Has there been any explanation as to why RK-Bro is just showing up to Smackdown for a match?

JP Liz V1 · 11-12-2021 1:00am

Are RKBro a replacement maybe for Drew and Jeff in the tag match?

CastorTroy · 11-12-2021 1:09am

If only they had another tag team or pairing on Smackdown, like Viking Raiders, Angel/Humberto, Nak/Boogz, Corbin/Moss, Jinder/Shanky or Sheamus/Ridge

JP Liz V1 · 11-12-2021 1:30am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118303955#Comment_118303955

Are Sheamus/Ridge feuding with Cesaro?

CastorTroy · 11-12-2021 2:11am

Yep, but they've probably more reason to be in the match than RKBro.

JP Liz V1 · 11-12-2021 3:23am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118303735#Comment_118303735

Well Done 👏

CastorTroy · 11-12-2021 11:59am

I think Vince must've discovered filters on his phone.

Not sure who's fault it was but that debut was messy.

Best team in WWE? So why wasn't Imperium included? And even if they're ignoring NXT and Moustache Mountain and Carmella/Zelina, wasn't it already decided a few weeks ago at Survivor Series when RK-Bro beat The Usos?

I know he's not, but it would be funny if Brock was calling out the Impact World Champion.

ThePott · 11-12-2021 12:39pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118303735#Comment_118303735

Wasn't expecting WWE's booking to make sense like that, was even going to comment that it makes too much sense so they won't do it.

Also have to agree that debut was a bit strange. The AR graphics would be fine but can't be the only factor to the entrance, audience looked baffled. A match would have served her much better than what they did though.

I love the Brock/Sami stuff. God help men I'm slightly annoyed we won't get them in Saskatchewan next week.

No idea why the cast of Jackass Forever was there didn't add much and I say that as Jackass fan. Speaking of dumb, I cannot get over how stupid an idea the Championship contender matches are, they really annoy me. Anyone else not a fan of the new 'comic-booky' graphics or is it just me?

Evidently they are trying to make Day 1 a big deal, getting Migos for a Special appearance is a good get.

kksaints · 11-12-2021 1:06pm

The Comic book graphics seems to be a Fox thing. The NFL on Fox has something very similar.

CastorTroy · 11-12-2021 2:30pm

Probably tag match next week between Shayna/Natalya and Xia/Naomi or singles matches with them. Some variation anyway.

No idea who Migos are but looking at a video on youtube it has over 65 million views so obviously another big name I never heard of.

Pentecost · 11-12-2021 2:41pm

I have no idea what's big in music these days, especially in the States, unless it's someone that's so big that you can't but be aware of them. I am old.

orecir · 11-12-2021 3:44pm

Migos are massive

JP Liz V1 · 11-12-2021 8:38pm

Is Brock turning up in a tractor for Day1

Blue_Dabadee · 15-12-2021 9:31am

Farmer moose hunting Brock is the best thing in WWE right now.

He could start his own Wyatt family 😁

JP Liz V1 · 18-12-2021 3:11am

Nattie needs to lay off the cosmetic work

CastorTroy · 18-12-2021 12:09pm

What was the point of that tag match when they're already scheduled to fight for the tag titles? Just so they can have their 50/50 booking and have Usos keep the titles?

ThePott · 18-12-2021 2:35pm

Really liked the ending, although it is a shame that it looks like the Sami/Brock stuff is over.

Wondering if we're gonna get a double turn soon and Roman becomes a face again. Or if Paul Heyman and Roman are secretly working together. Either way it really does seem like Brock/Roman is the programme for the forseeable future which really takes the wind out of the sails of the Tribal Chief stuff imo.

Loughc · 18-12-2021 9:00pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118342455#Comment_118342455

The wind has been gone out of the tribal chief sails for a long time now.

JP Liz V1 · 18-12-2021 10:58pm

Did Roman even connect the punch with Paul Heyman, I suppose too old to take a spear

I think Paul will help Roman retain at Day 1 over Brock

J. Marston · 18-12-2021 11:27pm

No one in wrestling can move like Brock. Animal.

Also, says it all about what a monster he is that a pair of ridiculous dungarees does nothing to dampen his aura.

ThePott · 19-12-2021 12:51am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118344143#Comment_118344143

I agree partly. For me once we had the Finn loss it confirmed it. It became clear they had no end goal in mind and now that they have Brock in the picture he will be here for the long haul and we're back to the same programme as always Brock/Roman. There was a time when I assumed Big E would be the one to topple him but that's not gonna happen now either.

PTH2009 · 19-12-2021 1:42am

Damn wwe I got my nephew a 'bloodline shirt and now they do this

RollieFingers · 19-12-2021 11:07am

I remember a while ago sharing a VOW Twitter post here were they said that the Reigns tribal chief thing was the most overrated storyline in any company and I got hammered for daring to go against the sentiment that it wasn't the best thing in wrestling/sports entertainment at the time. From reading this thread and a few other spots online it seems they may have been right after all! Some of the Reigns stuff wasn't bad but it was so overrated by some it was laughable!

Loughc · 19-12-2021 12:00pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118345778#Comment_118345778

At the start the tribal chief stuff was done very well and it was good stuff. But wwe being wwe they ran the thing into the ground.

By doing the same thing over and over and over. Also having Jimmy align with Roman for no reason also killed the momentum it had.

The White Wolf · 19-12-2021 12:49pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118345934#Comment_118345934

I thought Jey was the one with momentum that was killed by the storyline. Now he's just a bum alongside his brother again, someone no where near as good as Jey IMO.

Roman has done well with his character but I honestly don't care about him anymore. The "who will beat him" thing just doesn't interest me as it's either going to be a part timer who doesn't need it, or someone that just isn't ready/right for the honour.

J. Marston · 19-12-2021 1:35pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118345778#Comment_118345778

Not really. It was great but has lost steam, like most great storylines.

VOW are a pack of gowls anyway.

JP Liz V1 · 19-12-2021 8:02pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118346102#Comment_118346102

If Jey wins the RR and the title at WM off Reigns it would be good, he is the better off The Usos

JP Liz V1 · 25-12-2021 10:18pm

Heyman retiring, walking away, really, I think he is likely to show up at Day 1 helping Reigns

riffmongous · 25-12-2021 10:31pm

I'll enjoy it if it happens, but the problem is it'll likely mean a continuation of Brock-Reigns which isn't interesting enough for Mania.
