Dolfan in NYC Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Might as well start this. With Bad News Barrett getting injured at the Smackdown tapings has there been any talk yet of a replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Dave and Bryan thought CHRISTIAN made sense, given it should get a positive response and the experience factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSC Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 It's an easy solution. He rides the forklift up, delivers his Bad News to everyone standing in the ring and then it malfunctions and he can't get down for the rest of the match. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisco Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 After Wrestlemania my interest in WWE has plummeted to the point I no longer look forward to watching RAW or Smackdown. With two multiman ladder matches does this card still have potential or are we looking at a stinker of a show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Depending on what Barrett can do, it'd be awesome if he could take a boom drop through the announce table at the start of the match, lay around the whole match and somehow scramble up to pull down the briefcase at the end. Then he forfeits the IC title and delivers promos on how he's afraid he has some bad news, no cash in tonight.... Until the night he informs the current champion he has some bad news for them. Wasteland, Bullhammer and new champion. Mostly because I really want Barrett to get something better than the IC title. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Even though I think the MITB match should've never left Mania, I have to admit it's been one of the most consistent concept ppvs since they started running it. This show should be alright. Rollins and Ambrose will carry the MITB match by themselves, and Ziggler and Kofi will probably do some crazy shit in the background. The title match has a good lineup outside of Kane, and Del Rio will likely die for everyone's sins. Then you have an Usos/Wyatts match that will get decent time as well. Paige/Naomi could be a pleasant surprise if Naomi can hit her spots clean. Some other 5-minute filler matches might get added like Layla/Summer or Rybaxel vs. The Dusty Rhodes, but only the former would likely be terrible. There's a lot of interesting things that could come of the ladder matches, either on this show or within the next month if they go the super safe route with Cena winning to close the show.

Casey Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 No one but Rollins is leaving that match with the briefcase. MAYBE Ambrose, but it's definitely not any of the other perennial jobbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I am hoping Cena wins so we get Cena-Brock the rematch at SummerSlam. No one else in that match vs Brock really intrigues me, Reigns is facing HHH and Brock smashing Cena again will make up for a month of Cena garbage on Raw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 No one but Rollins is leaving that match with the briefcase. MAYBE Ambrose, but it's definitely not any of the other perennial jobbers. If the plan is to have Lesnar take the belt and hold it a while, I think the opposite. Have Kofi win when Ambrose and Rollins take each other out of the match, have Kofi cash in when Brock is "weakend", and have Brock win anyway.

The Nature Boy Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 WWE would be stupid to have Cena/Lesnar be for the belt. By keeping the belt away, they'll have two marquee matches at SummerSlam (the title match and Cena/Lesnar). Lesnar is a part timer and Cena is at the point where the belt adds nothing to his feuds, it doesn't really make much sense to involve the belt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 If they do Reigns/HHH, that's your other marquee match. I also wouldn't be shocked if they do Rollins/Ambrose in some sort of gimmick match and you might have Bryan's return vs. Kane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no interest in a Cesaro-Lesnar match with Heyman pacing on the sidelines? Not right now, it would have perfect with Cesaro post-Mania. I thought maybe they might have Cesaro say that Heyman is more interested in promoting Lesnar breaking the streak than Cesaro winning the MITB match but now what? Cena-Brock is a big name match. Cesaro can't beat Sheamus, why watch him struggle versus Brock? Their poor booking hurt him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooseCannon Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I think a real problem is that Cesaro should be in the briefcase match because the possibility of him cashing it in on the winner of Cena-Lesnar makes that match much more interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Ray Von Erich Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I said this in a Smackdown thread, but Cena is really the only guy that makes sense, especially if they're building to Brock vs. the winner (re: the leaked SummerSlam poster). It's probably too soon for Reigns and, though Bray would be the most interesting choice, I have no desire to see him against Brock. As much as I'd like to eventually see a Sheamus/Brock match, it just doesn't make sense now. I can't see Kane/Del Rio/Cesaro winning at all, and Orton would just be so underwhelming.On paper it looks to be, at the very least, a good show so I'm pretty excited! The traditional MitB match should be excellent given the line-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Bray vs. Lesnar would be all sorts of fun for me, but it would probably lead to their least successful Summerslam ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Bray vs. Lesnar would be all sorts of fun for me, but it would probably lead to their least successful Summerslam ever. Well success is now determined by how many subscribers the network gets. Summerslam is right around the time everyone's six month deal is up. Honestly i don't want to see Cena/Lesnar, but out of everyone in that match that's the only potential combination that most people would probably want to see. I'd be all for Brock killing Cena and the WWE sprialing into chaos as no one can defeat Brock The Destroyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Ray Von Erich Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 There's got to be money in a STOP THE MATSUNAGA angle with Brock and the title, right? I feel like that's a better way to get the title onto Reigns, anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Apparently now official for the show are Layla vs. Summer Rae - Fandango as the special ref Rybaxel vs. RhodesDust/Gold Stars/ Whatever name they end up with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I'm predicting that the plan to take down Hunter is revealed at the end of the MitB match, where Rollins allows Ambrose to grab the briefcase. Then in the main event, Rollins and Ambrose help fend off interference from Hunter and Reigns grabs the title. The Shield have the belts and insurance for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebbie Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 It looks like a good show. I don't get why people think Cesaro has a shot. For all the guys who get dubbed "Not ready." He has doesn't get it for whatever reason. Bias jerks even totally ignore that awful line on Raw about not speaking loser. And I know what people have thought, said, and/or groaned about Orton, but he is still the only guy I'd like to see against Brock other than Cena.

JonnyLaw Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Brock comes out during the middle of the MITB match, grabs a ladder, climbs up, grabs the briefcase, leaves. Cena wins the belt, Brock comes out, crushes Cena, cashes in, and at SummerSlam, it is actually Cena trying to regain the belt from Brock, instead of vice versa like everyone expects.
