    The men's match is so open and could go either way. Cody sounded drunk during that promo with Punk (which was tense)

    You can actually see the table embedded into his ribs here. Looks beyond painful. They obviously broke his fall. Thankfully it wasn’t his neck or head taking the impact first.

    Fair play to him for gutting it out and finishing the match.

    Was the 2k25 reveal the tribal celebration replacement I thought last night's Raw was picked by Roman



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,014 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I fear they could have Logan Paul win and challenge Gunther at WM

    I would be happy with Punk finally winning a rumble as I did think last year was his turn



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 26,059 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    If Logan wins I want Gunther to chop the living lights out of him for twenty minutes and win convincingly.

    I feel like we may be looking at a Punk/Rhodes and Cena/Gunther championship matches. Gunther is the perfect foil for Cena.

    Yep. I'd be quite happy with those matches for Mania too tbh, Cody Punk feels like it has to happen.

    I'd expect Jacob Fatu vs Roman potentially if The Rock isn't available.

    Edit: Actually, Rollins/Punk/Cody might be another route they take.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,014 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Punk vs. Cody is WM worthy money match but so is Cody vs. Randy, so many options



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 26,059 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    I say it'll be Orton KO at Mania, with Orton returning at the Rumble to RKO KO off the ladder.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,015 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    The new commentary tables look tough so can understand the damage to the ribs. But yeah they should've erred on the side of caution but it went on a long time after.

    Once again they call out all the rappers I never heard of. I wonder if it's just because I'm not young, not a rap fan or are they just big in America.

    I honestly thought JD was just a bit banged up initially, so after hearing the news I rewatched the JD/WR match and yeah you can definitely tell Mcdonagh is hurt & something's off. He calls the ref over and points to his ribs at one point. Stunned that he did another flawless moonsalut towards the end too! 😲 I guess adrenaline got him through it as well as him just being a tough bastard



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,420 ✭✭✭ThePott


    Jesus that JD bump was ugly. Very fortunate it wasn't his neck or head.

    Absolutely should have been called though. WWE have done well with this in the past but between this and Dakota last week they need to stop listening to talent and call things whenever there's a doubt. Nobody is dumb enough to complain about them calling off a match for the safety of the performers. Tough as nails to finish it but dumb af to leave it go ahead.

    Sami's story is really interesting right now and I think this is the best we've gotten out of Cody as champion too. He really sold being worn down by the title and having someone like Punk play into that weariness and making him paranoid as it feels like more and more people are coming for him and the belt was awesome and lead to an amazing promo.

    Penta getting cheered and people already doing the ciero miedo without him saying it is damn good news for him and a Rumble appearance could catapult him big time too.

    Decent enough Raw aside from that, nothing mindblowing. Getting all these streamers involved is probably a good business idea even if I don't give a toss about them. I didn't care for most of the rappers but I'll always pop for Killer Mike 👉️🤛

    Might be the most unpredictable Rumble in ages, definitely hyped for it.

    Carmelo declared for the rumble by attacking Cody after Raw

    How did he pull this off with broken ribs and a punctured lung is beyond me.

    Once he heals up they could use this fire to propel JD to the next level.



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 56,191 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    The Penta bit is huge for him, push him to the moon and give him Bron for the IC Title at Mania. He's already super over and as ThePott said a ten minute stint in the Rumble with some of the big names (possibly even eliminating Bron setting up a confrontation down the road?) could launch him into the stratosphere.

    Even my 11 year old is doing the ciero miedo and the hand gestures already.

    Where was the ending with everyone in the ring throwing each other over the top rope? Guess will be saved for Friday.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,188 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    And the person standing tall at the end is it winning it



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,014 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Sami takes on Punk tonight in a EC qualifier

    I think I'd even take Kross vs. Sami than Sami vs. KO again

    That was pure heartfelt emotion from Jey even I was teary eyed for him

    Flair will never be over as a face, she just screams heel, I think it will her vs. Tiffany ultimately at WM, watching the Grammys, Tiffany and Sabrina Carpenter could be twins



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,710 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    I was expecting Jey to tell Gunther that Gunther needs Jey if Gunther wants to main event at Mania.

    Without Jey then Gunther would be lucky to even make the card based on how rare he is in any main events. Where was he for Netflix debut? Where was he at the Rumble? And so on.

    Maybe it will come yet.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,387 ✭✭✭Deeper Blue


    Enjoyed the promo from Jey, but I feel like if it's him against Gunther it'll be an afterthought at Mania. Gunther vs Cena and Jey vs Cody would be far more interesting to me. They didn't even think Jey vs Gunther was PPV worthy even a month ago.



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 56,191 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    I agree I think Jey Cody would be the better choice, not sure if we will get it though.

    Mind you I'm starting to think that Cena will fall short again at EC and he'll undergo a "crisis of confidence". He alluded to it when he came back that he hasn't won a match in ages, it would be interesting to see them dig down into that a bit more.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,188 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Didn’t he do that before which le to that Undertaker match



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,469 ✭✭✭Rocket_GD


    Was anyone else's Netflix very glitchy throughout? Thought it was maybe the tv, but was glitching on my phone too.



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 26,059 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    At first I thought it was to do with the Wyatts but then I realise it was Netflix itself glitching ALOT



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,015 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Not sure if it was a combination of clothes and make-up but Carlotte moved like the plastic doll she looked like.

    I expect the Sami/Owens thing is to give them a match in Toronto since not in the Chamber match.

    Why was Lyra in the crowd, she is on Raw plus is a new champion

    Was Seth going for a mix of Macho Man Undertaker 😁 after putting out Roman indefinitely
