    Rhodes is such a suck up to the fans. That so-called injury is 100% a work, nice makeup job you stupid blondie bollocks.

    Fightful Select halted those rumours when they reported that Edge was removed from the group because they wanted to take it in a supernatural angle similar to the Undertaker and Edge didn’t agree.

    In fact, Edge recently shot down fans comparing him to the Undertaker, so his vision or alliance to content was pretty clear for a while.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,497 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Was AJ legit hurt against Seth?

    Imagine if Elias really had a twin brother 😁



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,284 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Alexa and Liv? That's a team I can get behind. 😎

    Seems strange having Becky face Asuka to qualify.

    Unless he's injured, I can see AJ winning a second chance qualifying match.

    Seeing Riddle facing Ciampa reminded me that both men took part in Fight Pit matches.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,886 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Christ don't mention the word 'injury'. The wwe roster is so limited atm

    Yeah Elias set to appear next week. Segment could definitely be in its so bad is good category



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,134 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    I love the Ezekiel/Owens stuff. It's mostly down to Owens basically turning everything he's given into brilliance but Big Zekey has played his part well. I'd love if they somehow managed to get Ezekiel and Elias on the screen at the same time, it would be absolutely amazing!

    People were talking about Balor being a jobber a while back but where does AJ go from here? Has lost pretty much every major match he's been involved in the past 12 months.

    Apparently the attendance for Raw was terrible this week. Only just over 2k tickets sold, not surprising either when you get stuff like Theory and Lashley in a feckin pose off, and that's supposed to be the top male title on Raw thanks to Roman!

    Theory seems to be taking the jungle juice too 😂😂 there's no way those traps are natural!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,497 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Theory jacking up to face returning Cena



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,886 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Yep and he made sly dig at Cena during his backstage interview

    This time 3/4 years Theory could be the face of wwe



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,221 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    The Elias/Ezekiel reunion may be the first thing I've been interested in seeing on Raw in years.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,497 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Rhea out of MITB, legit injured?

    WWE having a tough time with injuries and part time champions and challengers

    Rollins vs. Riddle for SS?



  • Registered Users Posts: 573 ✭✭✭nazmoalex


    Elias bit did not disappoint. I thought it was feckin brilliant.



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 24,979 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    Since joining the New Judgement Day Finn hasn’t appeared in person on Raw. Essentially making the group and Finn look like jobbers and not important.

    They should have capitalised off the big swerve on edge and had the group feature on raw the following week. Interest in the group seems to be gone already.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,866 ✭✭✭Pentecost


    I haven't really been watching too closely but from what I have seen it's definitely the best thing they're doing at the moment.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,497 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1




  • Registered Users Posts: 573 ✭✭✭nazmoalex


    Rhea knocked her own teeth out. That group is dead in the water now, well it was never really going anywhere to begin with IMO.

    Elias and KO has been the only thing going right since Cody has been out. Theory has been solid enough. Becky and Asuka had another decent match I suppose. The roster is fairly bare as soon as a few people get injured or go missing. Like Carmella and Natalya replacing Sasha and Naomi is a step backwards, even if it was forced upon them.

    Riddle had a fair amount of momentum after last Friday's match, and even he loses to Omos this week. I wonder is Edge legit injured as well.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,602 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    My family are only very, very casually interested in wrestling. But that’s the story they are actively following and asking about 😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,497 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Where's Sonya and Zelina?

    I'd add Chad Gable to MITB, does Omos even need a ladder

    Riddle and Becky are so over as is the E brothers, KO is gold



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 24,979 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    If Edge was still leader of that group there’s no way they would have ended up on Main Event.

    Poor Damian Priest can’t catch a break. From hanging with a HOF to now viewed as a jobber.

    The way they did that card at the start made it seem like Lesnar would be on Raw instead of just showing what happened on Smackdown.

    Shortage of talent these days yet they have Ciampa and AJ in a short quickly thrown together match.

    Trying to think, is that the most we've heard from Alexa since her return?

    So what now for Becky? As she said, she's on the poster.

    As for the Roman/Lesnar thing, will Heyman have to go all Gollum/Smeagol to promote it? With 2 part timers he'll have to represent both sides.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,497 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Yes was expecting Brock also on Raw but hey Vince again



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,221 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Give those two Emmys...




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,951 ✭✭✭Cherry_Cola


    The Ezekial/Elias and now possibly Elrod stuff is gold.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,497 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,497 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    John Cena returns

    Bryan "through the forbidden door" for Cena



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,497 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Dominic joining Finn and Priest might freshen him up, him turning on Rey is inevitable



  • Registered Users Posts: 573 ✭✭✭nazmoalex


    Underwhelming return from Cena, the backstage stuff was better than his promo and he didn't really set anything up, not substantially anyway. The battle royal was fun, and the women's qualifier match wasn't bad either. Forgot the ppv was on a Saturday, it's great when that happens.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,221 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Sourpuss Becky during Cena's guard of honour was funny.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,497 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Jericho and Big Show wishing Cena well too

    Weird having a "Last Chance Battle Royale" for the men's MITB with one slot still undecided. A Last Last Chance on Smackdown or will Cena show up at MITB... Or unlikely as it is, Cody?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,284 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I was thinking the same. When they had the Battle Royal I thought I must've been wrong thinking there were 2 spots left.

    The match card for the women's match was weird how everyone was in their ring gear except Becky, who looked ready for a night out.

    Just happy for Truth getting to meet his childhood hero.

    Seeing Dominik in the backstage segment, I was thinking he seems very hunched over a lot.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,886 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Cena's promo was pretty good even if it was a little cringe (anyone else think he was going to announce his was retiring), have to say i do like that his new shirt. Thought they would set up a match for Summerslam but maybe trying to keep a bit of suspense

    So will Cody be appearing every few weeks to preview stuff

    Dominik in Judgement day might be ok but could be a disaster too. Some laugh if Rey joined

    hard to call both winners in the MITB matches, think Riddle winning would be good and for the women's id go with Becky



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,221 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    The "Becky in the Bank" t-shirts have already been printed.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,189 ✭✭✭ThePott


    Riddle seems like a good call. I hope they don't go with Becky, she really doesn't need it, would love someone new to get the spotlight. Even though I think she's the most likely option.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,602 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Too much to hope for a Liv Morgan win?



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,134 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    It's not out of the question, women's field is kinda open. Though with Bianca and Ronda as champs I'm not sure if Liv having MITB works at the moment?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,886 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    christ forgot Charlotte is due back

    Be a perfect MITB winner



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,284 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Seems Liv is just destined to be the "almost" that fans like but never as much as someone else they'll push like Alexa, Bianca or Becky and never more than someone WWE wants to force down our throats like Charlotte or Rhonda



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,284 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Well I was wrong about Liv.

    So will there be a number 1 contender match tonight or will it just be Carmella facing Bianca at SummerSlam again?

    Bianca vs Rhea would be a rarity. A female hoss fight.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,497 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    The women champs tag match but big time Becks main event, good match against Asuka

    IC title being build as major title on Raw with Lashley holding as no sign of Reigns

    Styles teaming with Logan Paul now at SS? I prefer one on one with him and Ciampa



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,866 ✭✭✭hynesie08


    So, after turning on edge after winning for someone they beat, the judgement day lose their first match on Raw...........


    Storytelling.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,284 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Anyone else think this feud will end up with Becky and Asuka becoming a tag team?



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 24,979 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    No surprise really. Finn is a jobber nothing more. Makes sense his group would get the jobber treatment too.

    Edge will steamroll Finn when he returns.

    Just not warming to Theory at all I am finding him really very bland.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,497 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,497 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    He is a cocky arrogant heel, I kinda hope his cash in fails, Brock and Roman just beat him up

    If they decide to bring back the tag titles and also bring a team or 2 from NXT.

    Just seems to be like the Sheamus/Cesaro feud and others I've seen.
