    So Night of Champions will most likely take place in the US now

    Punk has sold his soul for no reason

    Alexa, play the theme for Curb Your Enthusiasm 😄

    Chicago?

    Are all champions to feature in title matches?

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

    Apparently not been moved or cancelled

    TKO are a beast for $$$



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,243 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    From what I see online there are no plans for a change in venue as of now.

    It's a decent card. I just struggle to get very interested for Saudi shows.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,685 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Nothing for Iyo or the tag champs

    Night of champions*


    *well 2 title matches



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,243 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Raquel is a champion. So 3 champions. 😀 But yeah they got the bare minimum singles champs so they can validly use the plural.

    Fair play to Dom and AJ if they refused for safety

    Night of Champions used to be a card full of title matches… it just goes to show you how low the TKO/WWE will go for money.

    not to have IYO on the card is a terrible disservice. She really should be backed but her booking has been crap since she won the belt.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,724 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    Same as last time.

    It is difficult for her to get priority in the booking.

    No promo ability (in English) really holds her back. Asuka back makes it worse as she play the unhinged character so well and there is no room for Iyo to do that. Too small to be a silent, monster type and the silly/smiley babyface has no legs - it worked on Mania build as two other people could do most of the talking.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,986 ✭✭✭Mr. Guappa


    Becky being back and the IC title being featured so heavily recently has really hurt her too. Iyo got so over in the six months prior to WM by simply having a great match every week on Raw. Just keep doing that. Plenty of viable opponents there, just put her in matches and let her do what she does best.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,724 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    That is true re Becky but also why Iyo will always struggle to get priority when it comes to deciding who to features. When Becky or Rhea or Liv (now injured) are there and then they already have plenty of people to get good matches from, that can feature in multiple parts of a show, will they look to feature Iyo?

    A look at cage match suggests she was not prominent on RAW for the 6 months before Mania as a singles wrestler and spent a lot of time in tag matches before winning the title.

    Punk really is deep throating that blood money covered dick this afternoon.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,685 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Do we think Seth or Roman is interfering in Cena Punk , or Ron Truth ?

    Didn't really enjoy the Cody/Randy match. Was really slow and ponderous for the most part. Crowd seemed to be into it though. I kinda feel they missed a trick with Sami here, he's mega over in Saudi.

    Street fight was middling too. Decent use of the avalanche riptide for the finish but again, it's not a match I'll be thinking about again now it's over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    Finally Hikuleo has arrived but appears to be getting a new name as Cole didn't have a clue what to refer to him as and ended up mumbling 🤣 wonder are we getting some more Samoans to side with Jacob? Zilla , Jimmy Uso and Lance Anoai maybe



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 57,182 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    It makes sense Solo having the title and Jacob chasing for a while I think. I did giggle at Cole trying to get the name out and saying it wrong twice 🤣

    No idea who wins this one. Asuka/Iyo at SummerSlam seems more likely?

    I'd have thought jade wins and goes over Tiffany only for Naomi to cash in



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 57,182 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Well you were right! Sloppy enough finish to that match. Jade favouring her leg too hopefully not an injury



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7 kurt_angle


    Wrestlemania main event right here.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7 kurt_angle


    maybe 5 years ago. Painful enough watch now. Those abdominal stretch on cenas back is embaressing



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,394 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Beats Goldberg main eventing anything hands down, Saudi shows have had some notorious matches over the years



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 57,182 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Mad amount of interference there but a decent match all the same. Didn't expect a title switch on the show so I suppose Solo winning is a surprise (though the right call)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    Penta and Sami interfering was pointless, thought weight get the OTC but I think we'll get that at summerslam or leading up



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,685 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I don't think Punk and Cena are over, maybe Punk takes on Seth for his MITB contract at Summerslam, I didn't expect Penta, overall a chaotic enjoyable main event, Cena's heel expression, like a possessed demon 😁

    Must not forget Charles Robinson running and taking a bump
