Leave us your predictions!
New Day Tozawa Hardyz and Jordan Corbin Rusev Rollins and Ambrose Sasha Naomi Styles Lesnar Nakamura Cass Balor
Ambrose/Rollins should be higher on the card, their story has been the best of the build.
I think they might do it early. Maybe shield reunion to close show
I’ll be all for that
Eh. Put that shark tank match on first since that is easily the worst thing on the card, save the Tag titles for later.
They usually start with a hot match, just my personal pick and not the official order
Could we see a repeat of Extreme Rules from a couple of years ago
Which part?
Shield winning gold
I’ll be in and out. We are EXCITED
The six man tag is happening now in an empty arena
lol wild eh
Nah not really have 3 preshow.. 530 6 630
Yeah but the talent in the ring is wild to me for a first pre-show match lol card is stacked
Oh for sure. Miztourage SHOULD get the win
Yeah, there’s a huge crowd of people waiting to get in, but the crowd doesn’t look TOO bad.
There’s a huge crowd outside, it’s going to fill up.
I know that but why have this match go first on the preshow
Keep the fans from getting bored.
And still two title matches to come on the kickoff show.
Who ya guys got winning this one? I say Miztourage
Hardys/Jordan. If they’re trying to get Jordan over, he needs to win.
@disqus_IUqHz26EGS:disqus Would you rather a lengthy tag title run OR a heel dean turning on Seth and they face off at WM?
A little of both. Give them a nice, long title run, and slowly build up to Dean turning heel, maybe when they lose the belts and then have them meet at Mania.
Dean and Seth are magic as opponents
Yeah, but that build cannot be quick, especially since Dean is so over as a face. They gotta build it slow.
Yep, imagine Roman wants to reunite the Shield, Dean turns on both of them lol
That I’ll do. I’m sure he’s got plenty of grievances with Roman to air.
Sorry guys, no Shield reunion tonight, Dean’s mad at Roman for stealing his apple pie from Popeye’s.
XDDDD
???
Funny part is, I’m totally okay with that reason!
Strangely so am I
Thou shalt not mess with my apple pie!
Can this ref not count? That was a four count right there.
Safe to say, Jordan isn’t getting an IC title shot anytime soon.
too early for him anyways I think
Yeah, I didn’t think they’d have Miz get it that clean though.
This is so decidedly awkward.
lol
Cruiserweight’s up next
Oh My at the people still outside.
Titus looks like an overly excited little league dad.
Tozawa needs to win, there’s really no point in putting the title on him, just to have him drop it a week later.
Now that Tozawa has the cruiserweight title can they plz build crews so he can get the IC Title and apparently Dana Brooke also wants to join Titus Worldwide
WOW!
NEW CHAMP
Then why put the belt on Tozawa? That was an absolute waste of time.
That’s what I’m saying but they are probably doing this to prolong the feud
They could’ve had Titus interfere or something. Having someone lose the rematch is a waste of everyone’s time.
Wanted to payoff the feud for Tozawa but not ready to have Neville not.be.the face of the.division. Tozawa catches him off guard on Raw but Neville when having time to prepare gets the win
Drinking + new phone = Too many unnecessary periods.
Lol
Ja’Von knows from last.night lol
Sure do
That kind of booking is a waste of time because it doesn’t make either party look good. Neville can be the face of the division and not be champ. Tozawa should’ve retained instead of looking like a fluke champion.
They made Titus Worldwide look more of a joke than a serious brand that he is helping their careers
Exactly. Booking it this way doesn’t help anyone, look at what last year’s hot potato booking did to the RAW Women’s division when Sasha lost EVERY rematch when she became champion, it made everyone look like a joke.
It hurt Sasha a lot
2-0 BAYBAY
Elias = Heat
A certain red head= NUCLEAR heat
If you are referring to Eva I.understand.but Elias can GO and.is.jacked DAMN PERIODS lol
True but she had potential after training with the brain kendrick
Trust me, she’d already reached what little real potential she had. On her VERY best day, she was mediocre. When fans can see that the job girl was much better and that Eva Marie only won because she was scripted to, that’s not a good thing.
Ya that destroyed her career when that aired on NXT
I think part of the problem was that she clearly wasn’t all that interested in learning how to wrestle and that she was only doing it to keep her job because WWE was doing the Women’s Revolution. She never improved past a certain point and really didn’t seem to care about improving past that, and I say that as someone who WANTED Eva Marie to succeed, but she was more interested in looking pretty than being an actual wrestler.
I totally agree
Eh, Eva Marie was more like ‘Go the f**k away’ heat. Especially once people realized that she was a mediocre talent on her best day.
Where is this going???
Question was last night nxt takeover or ROH takeover
Isn’t Goldust suppose to debut someone tonight
He was lol
According to my predictions article.I.think Goldust costs Cena
CHEAP plug
Carmella just spilled some tea on Sasha ans Alexa
Tag titles
Who ya got?
New Day
Your Double U Double U E World Tag Team Champions
Going down memory lane with the New Day
Thoughts on the New Day attire?
This match tho
Good? Bad? WTF?
Great and Woods is dead
So is E and Kofi
NEW TAG CHAMPS. New Day vs Usos for the SmackDown Live Tag Team Titles just stole the show before the main card could begin
Awesome match
WT the actual F is this?
NO SHAWN NO
This is firmly in WTF land.
Took the words right out of my mouth
It’s the Heartbreak Colonel.
Cena is kicking off Summerslam
Oh good, can’t wait to see if he’s got heat because of Tuesday.
LET’S GO
Here we go!
Love this video package
LETS GO!!!!
Can’t believe they got Shawn Michael’s to do that
Cena vs Corbin, who ya got
Corbin put over the rising talent
That’s what i was thinking but decided to go with Cena
Cena
Still not use to Crobin’s new theme yet I thought someone from NXT was about to debut
I could see why wwe may have lost faith in Corbin good talent but not a main event guy
Yeah, he could be, just not right now.
Cena wins!
Yeah, but don’t get out the shovels, Corbin did pretty good.
This makes no sense cause what does Cena gain from this now they are just burying Corbin he needed to bounce back from his failed cash in
Corbin isn’t buried, he’s just being put on pause. He dominated most of this match.
But how do you bounce back from a failed cash in and a lost to cena
It depends on what they do with him on Tuesday. I think it’s too soon to have a funeral for his career.
Ok let’s just see what they do with him over the next few weeks
I think they realize he his not going to be the guy at least not yet
Apparently Namoi and JBL have some heat
Nataly wins and then Carmella cashes in
Smackdown Womens title, who ya got?
Naomi but we could see a cash in but not likely
Nataly then Carmella
Naomi only has one show glowing
NEW CHAMP
Dammit. Nattie is boring.
I just see this as a nod to her and this also tells us that Charolette was gonna win the title since she was orginally scheduled to face Naomi
No she wasn’t. Nattie won the #1 Contender spot before Ric got sick. Charlotte was going to have a tag match with Becky but then Ric got sick and they had to scrap it.
Then what I read then about matches being changed for Summerslam and one of them being Naomi vs Charlotte was wrong
IDK, but Charlotte was not on the books for a title match as far as I know.
Wow no cash in
That was a little weird
Bathroom break match guys do whatever you need to do now
lol
I heard that the sharkcage is Enzo’s punishment and that he is deathly afraid of heights
The guy you heard that from also said Naomi is not losing the title lol
Yup idk where he is getting his info from
He makes it up lol we sourced him once and realized it was very wrong
Thanks for the heads up
If he was really that scared of heights, they wouldn’t make him do it.
Sometimes enzo goes to long
Thank you Cass let’s get this match over with already
This should’ve been the opener or the very first match on the pre-show.
Enzo might just be able to squeeze trough the cage
Someone put a muzzle on Enzo plz
Enzo has not stopped talking sense being put in that cage
Sounds like there yelling boring
Oh they are
WTF
So glad the Becky lynch vs cyborg match didn’t happen
Enzo!
What the he’ll is going on
Omg that was bad
That lasted longer than it should’ve
So you have enzo squeeze trough the cage just to get kicked in the face
That segment was GOLD
Angel vs Bryan God what a match that would be
Rusev vs Randy who ya got? I got Rusev hoping they put over the younger talent
GM Kurt Angle v GM Daniel Bryan, a match we can’t have because WWE won’t clear them :’D
Rusev just got BURIED
Wow that looked bad
Welcome back from injury, Rusev.
Almost broke his neck
Boos
What is wrong with Bailey doesn’t need surgery right
Ouch for Rusev
Thoughts on Sasha’s entrance attire
Uncomfortable
Bailey got booed
There booing banks because she is from Boston LOL
Who ya got? Retain or new champ? Sasha or Alexa?
Hoping for a retain, but who knows. Maybe every title changes hands tonight at this rate. Did Russo book this PPV?
Not enough poles
Probably heard the complaining about GBOF where NO titles changed hands.
new champ. Sasha deserves it after the crap booking she was getting.
Even the referee is scared of Alexa
Alexa has been pretty dominant, guess she’s losing
This match has been very physical
Nice undone shoelace there
NEW CHAMP
Sasha finally conquered her PPV title curse!!!
Happy for her and she beat her Brooklyn curse
Sasha beat the curse!!!!
Russo booking confirmed
Nakamura and Reigns win tonight at this rate
WOW!
It’s DEMON TIME
Nice to see how Mojo’s AtGBR win is being used
Totally worth giving him that, now he’s in chicken adverts
Thank god for Balor. Crowd is dead, this might help.
Then again Bray is going to win with powerpoints and ketchup so whatever
Jesus WWE have made me so bitter about wrestling. This must be how Meltzer feels whenever he’s watching anything but NJPW.
wwe totally missed the boat on bray Wyatt terrible booking
Demon King is the only time Balor’s entrance doesn’t look vaguely pervy.
Lol
When it’s just Finn Balor, it’s got this weird sexual vibe that’s really off putting.
Where is the center of this so called sexual vibe
It’s the way he moves, especially when he gets in the ring. It’s okay as the Demon, but it looks weird when it’s just him.
Who ever does balor paint does an awesome job
How are you guys liking the show so far? The group here has enjoyed it
Good right now still think nxt takeover was better
It’s been pretty good for the most part.
So far so good
It wasn’t terrible for me until Orton Rusev, that killed my interest. Alexa losing didn’t help either, but what ya gonna do. Bray-Balor has been good though, here’s hoping for a stellar rest of PPV
Alexa losing was fine, Orton/Rusev was just weird.
It was a fine match, I just like Alexa. Rusev-Orton was pointless and just made Rusev look even weaker.
What was the point of Rusev/Orton?
Guess he still has backstage heat? Honestly no reason for that match. Should have been cut.
No clue.
Good but think it could have been a better match
Right finish. Brought me some hope for the rest of the PPV.
Balor’s Coup de Grace is like Jeff Hardy’s Swanton Bomb, doesn’t look as painful as it is.
Here we go tag team action
Champs coming out first?
Corey just explained it
Is it me or are they coming out to crickets?
Good video package
I don’t care if any other titles change hands, just let Dean and Seth win.
Will Dean become a Grand Slam Champion tonight
I want him to.
Sethsuke Nakamullins
This is so rude that the crowd is playing with a beach ball during this match
#PopTheBeachball
Was Seth just casually holding his dick
Probably something that happens a lot in wrestling.
Brilliant match so far. Don’t even care how it ends. The amount I care about this PPV has skyrocketed.
I just want Seth and Dean to win.
You got it. Ngl my inner Dean fanboy is screaming with joy
I’m happy now!!!
That’s what wrestling should do 😀
NEW CHAMPS! HE DID IT! GRAND SLAM CHAMPION!
NEW TAG CHAMPS AND DEAN IS A GRAND SLAM CHAMPION NOW
I’m so excited right now!
Same happy for Dean that he’s a champion again
Will anything be able to top that match? Because it really was spectacular… Even AJ-KO are gonna have their work cut out.
I love Shane’s ref outfit
We’ve had 5 out of 8 title changes so far will we see title change #6 right now
I think the trend stops with US Title. The money is in KO losing and blaming Shane.
So far I haven’t mind the title changes I think every title needs to change expect for the US Title so AJ can do his open challenges
Yeah, the money’s going to be KO losing and AJ doing the open challenge, putting over young talent.
Decent match, but too much focus on Shane.
Big question of him staying neutral.
Good call. AJ as US champ is $$$$
By jove, I think this PPV will end before sunrise.
This goes 20 and the 4-way goes 30 I reckon
Props to that violinist, makes the entrance so much better
Jinder’s theme still sounds like a jobber theme
Then it must be the beast jibber theme ever cause I bump to it everytime I hear it
Will the experiment come to an end right now? I hope so
I’m thinking no. Not if they’re planning an India trip and need Mahal to be champ.
The nightmare never ends
Okay, Nak, I sat through your headache inducing entrance, impress me.
I loved how it said replay when there was nothing to replay
Kill me now
Does this match suck or is it me?
It sucked. Every Nakamura match minus the Cena one sucked. But I was spot on with my time prediction, 20 minutes to the dot.
I’ve tried to get into Nakamura, but he doesn’t impress me, not after all the hype.
He was definitely better on NXT. He’s been booked fairly weakly, sure, but something is wrong on his end too.
There were crickets for that finish.
Biggest heel pop of the night goes to Reigns, not an actual heel
C o n t r o v e r s i a l
Really wish Brock would get that penis removed from his chest
HOLY SHIT
Announce Table City???
The murderer Braun Strowman sat behind the weeping Heyman, laughing to himself. Heyman pleaded for Strowman to not hurt his son anymore, but there was no response except more laughter. Heyman’s poor boy was hoisted up and carried away from the monster, who proceeded to show no mercy to everyone else around. He had a point to prove; he wasn’t done with them.
We’ve got blood
3 suplexes and an F5 to Joe, 2 suplexes and an F5 to Reigns, nothing to Strowman
This is the pecking order
I’m glad I didn’t bother watching. What a waste of time. Time to scrap the universal title and come up with something else because the title is meaningless now.
You missed a pretty good table spotfest. Braun destroyed Lesnar.
No, I saved myself a lot of needless irritation. Vince would rather have a lazy champ and a meaningless title than actually have a top title on RAW.
Not disagreeing with you there, Lesnar doesn’t deserve the belt at all
Yeah, I just had a bad feeling. Decided to save my blood pressure.
