Burgundy LaRue Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Nia hasn't even had a reign. A rematch with Alexa, a tag match to introduce Ember Moon, and hasn't been on Raw in person the past two weeks. That's the be all, end all of Nia's 36-day title run.

Overly Critical Man Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Y'all are silly if you think this ends in any other way than Ronda beating Nia in 10 seconds with an armbar so we're reminded of the last time when Ronda used to be culturally relevant.

Burgundy LaRue Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I'm surprised they're going to Nia-Ronda so soon. I thought they'd wait until SummerSlam. Then again, it makes sense. WWE is working on a new TV deal and I've come to the opinion they kept the Universal title on Brock to make WWE look more sports-legit to compete with UFC. The same holds true with Ronda and she's willing to do publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a response to anyone saying Nia would win. Rather, it's a counterpoint to people worried about how sloppy the match could potentially be. Ten second squashes tend not to have such glaring flaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamhock Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 On 5/14/2018 at 2:53 PM, tbarrie said: Fair enough, but I think there's still a difference between "This match type could theoretically end in a no-contest" and "This match type could end with the same non-finish we just saw". And they've had a Last Man Standing match actually end on a double ten-count at least once, so it's not just theoretical. But your objection just throws it back to my original question: is there any stipulation left they could use that would actually give fans confidence we'd get a decisive winner? Or have they killed all their matches with bad writing? Go the opposite route - Title can change via DQ; Nakamura goads AJ into snapping and delivering a ballshot, resulting in AJ getting himself DQ'd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 Asuka is challenging Carmella for the SD Women's Title. Guess we'll see if they are booking Carmella as the female Honky Tonk Man, otherwise she taps in 30 seconds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rows Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Carmella will put up a fight either way. Charlotte didn't take that clean loss for nothing. And they have a massive problem with no heels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEN! Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Surely Nakamura/Styles is going to be a ladder match cause there's already two on this PPV. And nothing says definitive winner like one guy climbing a ladder faster than the other. "Bork no go Money In Bank. Money already in bank. Fat man put there for Bork. Bork go woods now. Shoot animals." They got to get Reigns back in the MITB match. Then when he wins, he can cut a salty-ass promo about wanting to cash in that night but Lesnar's not there. Then at Raw, he can cut another promo about cashing in but of course Lesnar's not there. Then the next week, he can talk about Lesnar not being at any of the live events that weekend and not there tonight and he doesn't want to carry the briefcase around forever so it's time for Plan B. Then later that night while Rollins is defending the IC title against Mahal, an SUV drives into the arena and right up to the ring and Reigns pops out of the passenger side and Superman punches Singh and then slides into the ring and spears Mahal. Rollins wants to know what's going on and Reigns tells him it's time for Plan B. If Brock won't come to him, he'll go to Brock and since he's going to be chilling and getting his mind right for battle, he needs Rollins' help. Rollins thinks he wants him to drive but Reigns says he's already got a driver and Ambrose comes out of the driver's side and they tell Rollins they need him to make sure the ref doesn't run away when he wakes up and Ambrose gives the ref the Dirty Deeds and they throw him in the backseat. Rollins is complaining about needing to defend his title but Ambrose tells him not to worry about it cause paperwork. Then we get weeks of The Shield driving around looking for Brock and then Reigns and Lesnar finally fight in the wilderness of Canada for the Universal Championship. Maybe they'll ride snowmobiles and see a bear. It'll be cool. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I would be down for The Shield and Brock trying to hunt each other down in the Canadian wilderness. It's time for an updated version of The Hounds of Zaroff/The Most Dangerous Game. I can only tolerate Roman when he's in the company of Ambrose and Rollins.
