RIPPA Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Now that being said - the fact that those four were all SDL folks and they made it over American Alpha is joke (in a kayfabe - world you can see why 3 of the 4 were there in a booking sense) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, did anyone else think a couple good brothers would interfere in AJ's match based on his tights? I was really expecting a Club reunion. The Harper face turn was looking awesome until he was casually flung out by Goldberg. Gallows and Anderson interfering would have made too much sense for this company.

MonteCarl Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I wonder if they'll do a "swerve" and have AJ win the title back in EC and do AJ/Orton at Mania and Harper/Bray in the undercard. I'd prefer that to anything else being thrown out there right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt788 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Whoever said the Harper face turn was awesome is speaking the truth! Harper is too good not to have a Smackdown face run. Especially with Ziggler a newly turned heel. If only RAW would turn Rusev. The fans want it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First he appears in the back of the poster (see: Talking Smack from last week), now Shane can't get him a spot in the Rumble, but Stephanie can get Roman one? There are some interesting things they could do with that besides making a Shane/AJ match. But I don't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamal Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I enjoyed the six ladies tag. Thought all six women looked good and nice to see Naomi get the pin. If this leads to her vs Alexa at Mania, in her hometown, I wouldn't be upset. Not sure what's going on with Sasha's booking. Even Alicia Fox looked stronger going up against Nia Jax. This can't be the same woman that was trading the women's title with Charlotte. Speaking of which, I'm not sure where Charlotte and Bayley go from here. They had a good match but that was a pretty definitive victory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I haven't seen said match, but I bet these other people are really uneducated to like said match so much." No, I was just putting that out there, but as always someone has to assume and talk crap. I barely watch or follow any recent wrestling aside from the 1 or 2 shows I get to go to and the major WWE PPVs, so I could honestly careless.

Charlie M. Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Enjoyed the show a lot. It helps to separate the booking from the action. Charlotte put on a great performance against Bayley. She's so comfortable in the ring and good at reacting instead of acting. Bayley had a few nervous moments for sure. Reigns/Owens was a decent enough plunder brawl. Cena/Styles was as good as their SummerSlam match. I enjoyed Cena going into Prototype mode. I was surprised that Cena won here but I'm interested to see what his Mania direction is. Maybe have him lose it back to Styles and do some kind of stip match at Mania? The Rumble itself was very good early with the Braun stuff and I found the later stuff to be really intriguing too. I like Roman embracing his cocky side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing we get Nia/Bayley again for number one contender, Sasha interferes, and then we get a fourway in the same way we got the three-way last year. :\ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because for once Roman Reigns was used as the pawn instead of the other years where they actually thought Reigns would be huge because of it.

Craig H Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 9 minutes ago, Edwin said: I haven't seen Omega vs. Okada, but considering some fans are calling "the greatest match in pro wrestling history" and saying "forget Misawa vs. Kawada, that's the past. This was far superior" already makes me feel they're over reacting and have never actually watched any of the Misawa vs. Kawada matches or have watched very limited footage from New Japan. And to actually add something to the AJ vs. Cena match, yes, I thought it was great. Probably not as good as their SummerSlam match, but still great. 1 minute ago, Edwin said: No, I was just putting that out there, but as always someone has to assume and talk crap.

Niners Fan in CT Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 11 minutes ago, steve said: Cena's not keeping the belt long. He's a part-timer now whether they want to admit to it on TV or not, he's got too much other stuff going on. So then why not keep the AJ title reign going? Why not put Balor or Joe in the Rumble? Or even have a Braun or Corbin win it? I don't understand any of this shit. They have a great roster and yet nobody gets anywhere... it's all treading water. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
