    When do think tickets for 3 Arena will go on public sale?



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 16,090 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Think I spotted something online that the ppv tickets are on sale end of this month so guess the other shows may be around the same?

    There's a draft soon so don't take the current Dublin card as gospel

    Cena is down to appear at Clash in Paris



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,740 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Orton vs. Aldis could be great, is he cleared for in ring? I've zero interest in Orton vs. Solo

    I am enjoying the Naomi Jade feud

    The whole Charlotte/Tiffany thing has been a disaster. Do you think they planned on Charlotte being the face in the feud before the fan reaction? Tiffany's character is not a face or even a tweener.

    Then did they even show the incident that resulted in Charlotte being sent home? I looked it up after and it was just an attack in the car park. Which is strange since Tiffany should know from being in NXT that she should always be prepared to be attacked in the car park.

    I'm worried if Tiffy gets payback next week then Flair is walking out champ



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,577 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    Its tailor made for Flair to win at Mania to get the record. its almost Vince like booking from HHH. The fans have zero interest in her. Backstage reports are fairly damning in that she doesn't interact with the locker room and will bury younger talent



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 26,119 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    HHH is a big Ric Flair mark so she’s absolutely winning. A little reward for giving Naich’s record to Cena.

    Baffling they're having the TLC match on SD when this could have easily fit on one of the nights this weekend.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,270 ✭✭✭Ridley


    Doing the Raw after Mania as a week long thing methinks.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,740 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Cody won the promo roast and was standing tall on go home SD so Cena winning at Mania

    The tag picture of SD has the better build, a TLC match at Mania should be the way to go

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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,250 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Cody could teach Charlotte a lot. He didn't get flustered at being booked and turned the crowd around.

    Also they didn't have enough faith in Charlotte/Tiffany to do anything live so roll out the Raw competitors.

    No one can even be bothered booing Naomi.

    I thought the Chelsea match was for the title so was surprised Zelina won. So was thankful when she didn't get the title.

    It is always funny when they announce matches not on the night and expect a positive reaction from the live crowd. Wonder if they'll add Pretty Deadly.

    What night will Randy fight? Assuming it'll be Solo.

    Very good Smackdown. Orton Cena for the last time should be good especially in St. Louis. Do not like how they gave us Tiffany and Jade and then just... Went back to the same boring ass feuds for both. Lame.

    Hopefully Chelsea gets the MITB contract because she made that new US title relevant for the women. I have my doubts about Vega continuing that trend.

    TLC was all sorts of great, how on earth anyone thought that New Day vs War Raiders was the tag match to put on the card is an absolute mystery. Just completely braindead booking not having that on the card it would immediately have elevated Night 1 by quite a bit!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,270 ✭✭✭Ridley


    The Nao-mummy.

    If it is Cena/Orton for the last time they should be announcing it as such. I hope this farewell tour is a mix of nostalgia matches and up-and-comer challenges. A bunch of people only getting one crack at it before Cena escapes. Really lean into there having to be one guy who has to beat the man who has done the impossible.

    29 December 2025 Raw plus MitB maybe..? Travis Scott?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,250 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    So LA Knight comes out looking for his rematch yet Cody doesn't?

    4 way for the US Title at Backlash?

    Will Chelsea get the title back? I do find it stupid that last week Secret Hervice was banned from ringside for Zelina to earn the title shot but then isn't banned for the actual match. Good night for House of Black with Zelina winning and Black returning. Hope Zelina can develop more of a character now instead of just name dropping Rey and Eddie. At least she's got rid of the sandal, though replaced with a mask.

    The TLC match was great. They must have to test those tables out to find their breaking point. I'm sure I wasn't the only one expecting it to break under Sabin and he was close to the centre.

    I do have to question how some fans think. Like the ladder was placed between the ring and the barricade and there was a woman standing just in front of the base of the ladder where any movement in her direction would've meant damage, especially since she wasn't tall.

    The problem is that there's only 26 dates Cena is booked for between now and the end of the year so an up and comer isn't going to get much to work with from that. I suspect we'll get Orton, Punk, probably Roman? Unsure who else at that point…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,270 ✭✭✭Ridley


    Oh it can just be an interruption on a Raw or whatever if needs be. The build is the countdown rather than four weeks between PPVs and that. Lean into Cena as gatekeeper and it shouldn't just be a series of rematches until Rhodes gets it back.

    I kinda like that Cena's meh on whether it's a match or not and it's on management to worry about the time being used wisely. He's x17, he'll win anyway and cheat as needed, he's already out the door as far as he's concerned.

    If it were up to me, one of those dates would be an unannounced TNA appearance then you can bounce off people annoyed that one has been 'wasted'. Would gives Styles something to say about it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    I would say Vega deserves a run based on her efforts over the last few years, but she'll need good booking. A heel turn is interestingly due for her and she seems to find another level there.



  • Posts: 553 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    loved that Orton and Cena promo



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,250 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Ciampa just looks weird without the beard, though I'm trying to think who he looks like. Of course, he's one of these guys that could have the full beard again by the next Smackdown.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,740 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I'm glad Naomi and Jade isn't finished, I think Naomi deserves to get a win in the feud

    Jade and Tiffany was actually ok

    Did the crowd even know who Black was, returning 😁

    Why have Chelsea lose her title, unless pushed into world title scene, Chelsea feuding with Tiffany would be fresh and better than Nia again

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,250 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    So they gave the tag titles back to Liv and Raquel knowing they were going to be off for a while? What happened to it going the other way, losing the titles and being written out so they can do something else? I know it's the woman's tag titles and they don't care about them, but still.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,740 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I really enjoy the banter between Nick and Chelsea

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,740 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    John Cena to appear on go home show for Backlash tonight

    TDS have Alexa Bliss appearance also

    Jade vs. Nia, no 1 contender match for Tiff, you can bet Naomi will be involved somehow
