Vgmastr Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Well I take back what I said about this being impossible to predict now that they telegraphed Braun and Alexa's win with them representing Connor's Cure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I presume those are all charity partners with prior relationships with the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatling Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 So based on the main 4 charity partnerships WWE pushes on television, we would get a final 4 of Braun/Bliss vs. Shinsuke/Nattie and Apollo/Nia vs. Finn/Sasha(2nd chance vote)? Half of those teams seem entirely possible to go that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Yeah, I don't see the team repping UNICEF going far in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Well they have at times pushed Hire Heroes USA and Girl Up heavily on their programming too so I don't think it is as cut and dry as it seems That being said - Braun and Alexa being the team representing Connor's Cure seems a little too convenient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I love that WWE is going to donate $100K to themselves. EDIT: Alvarez says Vince & Dunn don't have that much to do with this project, and it's basically a Ryan Ward creation. That's interesting. EDIT2: We all know that each charity automatically gets $10K, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEN! Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Big E and Carmella obviously weren't going to be supporting any kind of feed the hungry charity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Sasha's brother has autism I think. These charity choices might have been the performers. So, one of the main reasons this has been great so far is because Ryan Ward. Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamBroken Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 On 1/12/2018 at 10:11 AM, S.K.o.S. said: So I knew this was on Facebook, but just saw a tweet saying it's on "Facebook Watch", and that's only available in the US. Is that true? Is there a (non-shady) way for Canada to watch this? edit: Found this link that seems to confirm Canada is SOL for watching this live, short of using a VPN or whatever. That sucks. https://www.reddit.com/r/WWE/comments/7pg8n8/canadian_wanting_to_watch_the_mixed_match/ I would think since they're airing live on the Network for the UK, they would for other countries too but not sure. Otherwise, it will be airing on the Network two days later (Thursday at 10 PM est) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 If this was in the middle of the year I would give Nia & Apollo a chance but the WWE doesn't support breast cancer on January Here is Russev reading Vince McMahon's tweets trying to motivate Lana 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Canadians needing to jump through hoops to access WWE content? Even if this isn't Rogers' fault, this is probably somehow still Rogers' fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 That was a good start. A very good match. It was in HD and never skipped or dipped below for me. Yes, you CAN hide the comments and emojis. Just swipe right. I'm not sure yet how to remove the captions. All four of them looked to be having a great time and the crowd was into it. That version of Nak shows up about 5 times a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 In theory, a 15-20 minute match with no ads and some wacky videos is a good idea on paper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
