Craig H Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 No probably for AJ Styles vs Nakamura. That was announced just before the rumble match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brysynner Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 If the Twitter machine is correct we could see the Deleters of Worlds defend against Braun and Lashley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I just want Nakamura as champ already. Kind of surprised there isn't stip for AJ/Nakamura Its kind of nice that we are getting 3 women's matches. Will be interesting to see what Mickie can get out of Ronda if their match is happening here. I assume Carmella retains though I really hope she doesn't. There are too many better women on the show to be focusing the division on her. I'm actually looking forward to Nia/Alexa after their WM match. 2 hours ago, Brysynner said: If the Twitter machine is correct we could see the Deleters of Worlds defend against Braun and Lashley This seems off to me. On the other hand if it leads to Braun and Lashley vs. AoP I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 All that WrestleMania Nicholas stuff will be really ridiculous if it just leads to Braun holding the titles with a guy who was a "surprise" return the next night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 So, is Daniel Bryan vs. Big Cass gonna be this generations Bret Hart vs. Tom Mcghee? I kinda feel sorry for Cass. He has the pressure of the world on him coming back from this injury. He's getting no reaction as a heel. The guy is so much better as a face yet their having him go as generic big guy. I really hope Ronda vs. Mickie happens because that could be an outstanding match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSJ Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Cass was doomed the moment he was split from Enzo. The dude could have the combined wit of Richard Pryor and George Carlin and speak seven languages and VKM would still scream "He's a hoss, he's 7ft tall!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Remember when we were thinking Backlash could possibly be the big Sasha and Bayley blow off? Such a shame what creative has done to both ladies. They appear on the banner along with the Riot Squad so I'm assuming maybe a kickoff tag match that will be yet another waste of time.

Brian Fowler Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 This angle with them is the strangest fucking thing. Like, I still think it's partially wanting to stretch it out until Brooklyn, but the way it just keeps spinning the wheels week after week is absurd. Also, semi-related: I already miss the split brand ppvs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 The combined PPVs still makes no sense to me. Most of the roster is now unlikely to ever make it onto on a PPV - guys like Revival, Chad Gable, Fashion Police and a million others of their ilk should all be worried for their jobs.

Eivion Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 House shows are still separate so those guys are safe job wise. The issue is more whether or not they can ever manage anything even resembling a push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 That's true. Somebody brought up a good point on here a while ago. They keep on adding to their roster by either signing guys or promoting from NXT, but they haven't actually done any kind of purging for a long, long time. Only guys I can think of were all from 205 Live and are gone for various reasons (Neville, Aries, Swann, Enzo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Yeah, I don't get totally ending the split brand PPVs. If anything, it could have just been done quietly. For example, if a SDL PPV has 8 matches, than maybe 2 of those are Raw matches. The reverse is then true for Raw PPVs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Agreed, ending the split brand PPVs is really crap for several reasons - guest matches would have been the compromise I would have suggested. When they're primarily network specials it is particularly awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagan Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Assume that AJ and Nak ends this so, in theory, this should be the match where they have the time and inclination to tear the house down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I'm expecting Orton vs Hardy becomes official tonight. Or a triple threat with Shelton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathyBoy Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Dual brand PPV’s is such a dumb idea. I mean this is the third show in six weeks which’ll go five hours and feature all the roster. Shit is ridiculous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I think renewing the brand split was a bad idea in the first place. WWE had three touring shows in the 1980's and did not need to have an official split. But the writing team is so undisciplined, they need to have an official split to avoid using everyone on every show. So now with the brand split but no exclusive ppvs, you end up with shows longer than the Oscars where you have to feature all the top guys and lower card still gets nothing.

John from Cincinnati Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I'm just getting the popcorn ready for when non-title Roman matches close over AJ's world title matches. Maybe not this Sunday, but soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
