    Enjoyable opening with Seth and Roman with a Dean/Mox mention

    Didn’t see it. Did Rollins say Ambrose or Mox?



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


    Maybe it's been like that for a while, but did Seth's music just rip off EC3's TNA/Impact music?

    Nattie needs to lay off the fillers

    I didn't recognise Summer Rae, has she legit off screen beef with Nattie?


    BIG E, KO, Eric Bischoff, Seth and Jeff Jarrett all on SD

    When you see old pictures of a young Nattie she had such a natural beauty. But she really has steered too much into that WWE plastic look now. But hey, it's all to impress an audience of one and the past has proved it works unfortunately.



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


    I kinda thought in the last few years women in wrestling had stopped getting work done maybe besides the odd boob job, going more natural, Beth and Lita look great, Nattie and Charlotte needs to stop the work imho

    Will Sonya wrestle?

    Seth might want to lay off or tone down his Joker schtick

    Did they take Ridge's photo between the curtain and the entrance since Sheamus just gave him the mask?

    Is Shanky the worst portrayed big guy in WWE?

    I actually thought Sonya was already in the Rumble.

    They do a Rumble segment at the beginning yet only one goes over the top rope. Aliyah sounded very annoying.

    Wonder if Sasha's contract says she gets to have loads of "returns".



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


    Decent enough Go Home Show but nothing amazing.

    Surprised we actually got the Sonya/Naomi match, thought it was a really good match. Hope this means more of Sonya in the ring, she's great.

    Really liked the Roman/Seth promo too. Pretty excited for the Rumble overall now that it's today.



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


    Sasha has returned way more than Veer coming to Raw 😁

    Can we expect Goldberg tonight to start his Reigns "feud" for the Chamber PPV title match

    I hope Ronnie chooses Rebecca

    Are they really doing Ronda v Charlotte? Surely not



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 23,129 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    Think they have Ronda until next mania and believe Becky is the one they can stretch out more between the two feuds.

    Also remember seeing reports that Ronda will be on Smackdown mostly this year (probably as the champ post mania).



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 773 ✭✭✭TimesArrow


    Smackdown really is the drizzling ****, maybe even worse than raw. So bored of the Bloodline stuff. The same matches/ wrestler combos every week. And the main event with RR and CF was so flat. This match will probably headline one of the nights and they will shove it down our throats but the fans are not into it.

    Well the Charlotte/Ronda stuff did very little to get me excited for their Mania bout if I'm honest.

    Guessing they're gonna suspend Ronda for touching Sonya too so she doesn't have to be there every week.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,972 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Please tell me you're joking.

    How do you skip Ronda vs the only person who has ever pinned her? How does this not make Ronda look like the biggest coward on the planet?

  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,972 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Its a Roman vs Brock scenario again.


    That's the main event WWE wanted last time, before Becky messed it up by gasp getting over with the crowd and becoming the hottest act they had, forcing their hand.


    The one shining light is it probably means Becky vs Bianca, with the latter getting her "Wrestlemania Moment!" ©️



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,531 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Well it was part becky getting over to the point they couldn’t ignore it, because Becky was always over with the fans. And it was also in part due to the human embodiment of botchamania in Nia jax being as clumsy as she is that changed their plans.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,971 ✭✭✭Pentecost


    In one way it makes sense to drag out her and Becky finally going one on one in order to make the most of the time they'll have Ronda for. However I have no interest in anything she and Charlotte are likely to do.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 773 ✭✭✭TimesArrow


    logical storytelling would suggest she’d be hellbent on destroying Becky. Instead we’re having a pointless match with flair, which Charlotte allegedly lobbied for. Becky has been referring to this match as an “appetizer” which doesn’t really help how it’s being perceived. The women’s division across the entire company is unbelievably woeful. They simply refuse to even tru build anyone up, with the exception of Belair. The tag belts are pointless. I almost admire them in their complete disdain for their fan base in how they couldn’t give a fcuk about putting on a good product and thinking about logical compelling booking



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 23,129 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    I can see this leading to Ronda winning the title, turning heel finally and then becoming what people said she would be back when she first signed aka The Female Brock Lesnar. The final boss who isn't on every show but when she is there she dominates and hold the title all the way to the following Mania.


    Meanwhile Becky on the other show will be focused on Ronnie and be caught out by Belair who gets her moment and retribution. Then it's time for Big-Time becks to slowly go away as she goes on a redemption arch and in time for the next road to Wrestlemania becomes (the first 2 time womens Rumble winner and) The Man again, meaning a Face-Heel dynamic vs Rousey at Mania where she defeats the Final boss who goes out on her back putting over the biggest female star in the company.



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


    There’s no place for logical booking in the WWE.

    Becky will be the heel and Ronnie will be the sympathetic baby face on a 365 day title run up against all odds.

    So they give Naomi a title match for next week then completely overlook her, talking about Mania.
