victor Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I wish that dark match had been taped. * Dark match: Finn Balor and Samoa Joe defeated The Lucha Dragons.* Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper cut an in-ring promo on Braun Stroman to kick off SmackDown. Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose come out to exchange words with them.* The Dudleys defeated The Ascension. After the match The New Day comes out to taunt the Dudleys and The Ascension end up getting put through a table.* Kevin Owens defeated Neville with a Popup Powerbomb. Owens cut a promo before the match.* The Bella Twins try to turn Charlotte & Becky Lynch against Paige.* Seth Rollins cut a promo on Sting.* Charlotte & Becky Lynch defeated The Bella Twins.* Dolph Ziggler & Ryback defeated Rusev and Big Show.* Sheamus defeated Dean Ambrose when The Wyatt Family distracted Ambrose and Sheamus got the win with the Brogue Kick. After the match, Reigns came out to help Ambrose, but Braun took care of him. The show ended with The Wyatt Family standing tall over Reigns.

Bustronaut Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Good lord, every segment on this show has at least one NXT alum in it. That's pretty amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I really think the natural thing is for Charlotte to end up with the Bellas. She gives off a much more heel-ish vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought i saw someone say that dark match was part of the Dusty tag tournament.

Liam O'Rourke Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Joe and Balor as a team could lead to some really damn good matches, or be a very natural transition to Balor Vs. Joe....they've kind of flattened Joe out since his arrival, heel badass Joe could be interesting, even if it's a bit soon by conventional standards.

hammerva Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 So would Joe and Balor be considered the Sting/Nikita team of the Dusty Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I really think the natural thing is for Charlotte to end up with the Bellas. She gives off a much more heel-ish vibe. The natural thing is for the Bellas to fuck off already. Charlotte would've been a better choice than Jon Stewart to cost Cena the match against Rollins. I'm mean it's her fucking dad's record it would've made a ton more sense. From there she kills Nikki, joins the Authority, and becomes the top heel of the women's division. The fans are going to babyface Sasha anyway. They have a perfect story waiting with Charlotte being the spoiled privileged brat that had everything handed to her vs the Sasha the woman that had to make her own breaks and fight and claw for everything in life. I'm more than confident these two could take that story and make the divas division. So of course will end up with a bunch of stupid shit with the Bellas being the center of it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I still think they missed the boat in not having Reigns turn heel last year and join The Authority. Imagine some long-range thinking with Reigns, Orton, and Charlotte working alongside HHH and Stephanie--a cooler version of Legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Austin has came out said what most of us have been saying that Reigns needs a heel turn. The problem is he can't do it and play second fiddle to Rollins. They may have to wait for the Rollins/Authority fallout to turn Reigns as the guy they really wanted all along. The smarks would have no problem buying that line of thinking lol. I would like to see someone breakout as a top heel without HHH and Steph bossing them around, but I'm not sure that'll happen anytime soon. I'm pretty bummed Reigns wasn't the guy to end Cena's US title run. They have something setting on the table that would've got Reigns a massive face pop, and helped him get over with the section of the audience that doesn't like him, and just shit the bed as usual.

Rehabilitated Rick Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Owens has certainly earned his pay this past few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 If Rollins drops the WHC to Sting, it opens the door to a Rollins turn/possible Shield reunion teaser. But as soon as Ambrose/Rollins mend fences, have Reigns go peace out and bolt for Rollins' now vacant Authority spot. Set up a US title match between the two (Authority connections allows Reigns to jump line) with Reigns beating the snot out of Rollins, which he's wanted to do for a long time anyway. That gives Reigns instant feuds with Cesaro and even a heel/heel fight with Owens. Throw Neville in the mix, too. They could even have AmbReigns lose or barely win and come out badly wounded at NoC to play with the idea that the real reason Reigns went to the Authority beyond the money/titles is they can keep Bray off his back until the face turn/real Shield reunion, setting another Shield/Wyatt Family saga into motion.

Brysynner Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Shhh you're not supposed to talk about it. Just because Nikki's gone 50ish days without defending the title, AJ Lee went like 76 days without defending it so see Nikki > AJ duh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I was in the house last night. It was definitely part of the Dusty tournament. Eden announced it as such. It was a fun fucking match too. Edit: I forgot to mention. They had NXT graphics up also so I'm not sure what that means. Maybe they will show it on an upcoming episode.

Nice Guy Eddie Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I really hope NXT doesn't become like ECW was at the end, filmed before Smackdown in front of dead crowds. or having all traces of what made the original ECW special and fun to be part of as a fan being stripped away and sanitized to look exactly like every other WWE show. I shudder to think if we ever get the return of urban Vince McMahon as NXT champion because his idea of new and next generation is a white senior citizen acting as a black stereotype.

Zakk_Sabbath Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Speaking of Vince as ECW champion, I actually just had possibly the worst thought ever: you know how HHH loved being the Flair-esque heel champ during the early days of the brand split? Would HHH as NXT champ not fucking rule? Just the heelest of heels, "You thought I made this for you people? I did this for me! This is the Game's playground! I call the shots! Kliq, bitches!" Real, real meta shit. I'm talking backstage vignettes, where they debate releasing someone, and Scott Hall or Pac just says: "No, no. Don't fire Baron Corbin. Let his family starve!" Just really meta, head up your ass, super on the nose stuff. Ordinarily I'd be against it, and call it Russo-esque trash, but NXT is made for the smarts anyway, they may as well generate some heat and make a buck. I can tell you this: Whoever finally beat him would be made for life. I have been drinking gin since 4:30 PM 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
