steve Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 The RAW vs SD! Live elimination match is going to come down to Braun vs. Ellsworth II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Besides the CW title match - I wonder if they are going to do a CW survivor series match too. I also assume some random RAW vs. SD Jobber tag team match will be the preshow match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 If they want to play up the GM rivalries, RAW should have Kendrick captain a team just to piss off Bryan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Sugar Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 My only beef with the "RAW vs. SMACKDOWN" angles is that I'm certain every match will involve an "OMG these teammates hate each other and did something to eliminate said wrestler that we know they hate yet we teamed them together!!!1!!"

RIPPA Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Well based on tonight - Smackdown has zero interest in winning any of the matches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 So after Smackdown tonight Smackdown's Men's team is: Randy Orton, Baron Corbin, Bray Wyatt, Dean Ambrose and AJ Styles The Women's team is : Nikki Bella, Naomi, Alexa Bliss, Carmella and Becky Lynch with Nattie as the "Coach" American Alpha and the Usos both qualified for the tag team match Dolph Ziggler challenged anyone from RAW to challenge him for the IC title And the whole gimmick is that Daniel Bryan's hatred of Miz meant he didn't get picked - so pretty much expect Miz to jump to RAW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Oh I should point out that they are already running the TEAM MEMBERS DON'T GET ALONG!!! Stuff as that was the reason Nattie was named "coach" because "all the women respect and like her" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 So now does Miz jump to RAW and then challenge Ziggler, or does Dolph face Bayley? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Don't see a need for Miz to jump since he still has a rematch clause. 8 minutes ago, RIPPA said: Oh I should point out that they are already running the TEAM MEMBERS DON'T GET ALONG!!!

RIPPA Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Well yeah but they weren't officially on the team till tonight. I was amused at Shane being surprised that the Smackdown women couldn't get along And it is going to continue to bug the shit out of me that the women's captain isn't the women's champ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorneAgain Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 At Survivor Series, Dolph is defeated by an oddly ground style Sin Cara, who then unmasks as the Miz just to rub it in Ziggler and Bryan's faces. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Assuming it's not Miz - I am assuming Ziggler is facing either Rusev or Sami Zayn Either way - Miz is costing him the title and I again am excited for RAW having been all the belts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Luke Harper not being on the SD men's team is criminal. I assume he gets involved, but damn it, he should be in the fucking match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes no sense to have both the US title and IC title on the same show. That's why the US title was brought back in the first place, to balance out the IC title being on Raw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 The talk was that Orton wouldn't be on the show because he and his wife are about to have a child, so I'm not convinced he actually ends up on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 On paper, Zayn vs Ziggler would be about as fresh and interesting as a Ziggler match could get. I'll take it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I don't think he has one) He has one, but it only has two posts and from a couple years ago. Looks like he was told to make one and after that didn't care to do anything with it. On a side note, I appreciate in these times of social media when wrestlers don't do anything with it. Dean stays off it and I believe Timothy Thatcher does too. I like that a lot, maintains some kind of mystique for the guy. If only Dean didn't offset that by doing random Network shows and stuff, but the effort is there.

The tags are gonna all have to be 45+ minutes, which doesn't sound very appealing. Lesnar/Goldberg won't last too long, and there's not much else left to fill out the show if all the champs are in the tags. You could do a CW title match, I guess. Even if you stretch Lesnar/Goldberg to 30 minutes (with some long intros) and give Kendrick/Swann 15, that's still over 3 hours that need to be filled by the elimination matches. Hopefully the show won't drag like WrestleMania and SummerSlam did. In an alternate world, Triple H vs. Roman Reigns is still ongoing. 17 hours ago, Vader does my taxes! said: I wish them luck selling that. I'd sooner buy swamp land from the Shining Stars.

Matt D Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Apparently a graphic accidentally ran on WWE.com with: Zayn as #5 on the Raw side. If that's the case, the question then rises: "What to do with Rollins?" While the correct answer is, "nothing," I think the best answer, if they really want to get him over as a face, is to put them in with their best non-Charlotte heel. Have him show up for the US title challenge against Ziggler on Smackdown. Have Miz cause the match to end up a no contest by trying to take out both guys, and then run Rollins vs Miz as one of the singles matches on the PPV. That's one way to totally ensure that Rollins will get 100% of the cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one way to totally ensure that Rollins will get 100% of the cheers. I like the idea of running Rollins/Miz and then maybe Rusev/Ziggler. That's 5 matches that the brands can split 3-2. I think Rusev would work better as the 5th guy on the men's team, then do Zayn/Ziggler for a fresher matchup, but the idea of Sami and KO being the last two on the Raw team would be pretty cool. A respectful nod after they overcome a 3 on 2 situation with Ambrose/AJ imploding to build TLC would be a good moment/progression of their rivalry. Or Owens can steal all the glory by throwing Zayn in harms way then taking advantage to win, whatever works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
