MonteCarl Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Really surprised that Rusev/Ziggler isn't intergender with Lana/Summer, but I guess they're holding on to that until Night of Champions. This is a really good card on paper. There aren't any real fluff matches. Every match has meaning and good build behind them. And when was the last time a PPV had 10 matches on it? Any info on if there will be a "pre-show" match, or if any of these matches will eventually end up getting bumped to the pre-show, or if the pre-show will just be talking heads and video packages?

JCM Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 If I cared about the top two matches and you took off one or both of the IC match and Sheamus/Orton in would be a great card. As it stands Cesaro/Owens, Wyatts/Shield tag, and maybe the womens match are all I'm looking forward to. Should at least be a fun show for the fan reactions. I could see Owens/Cesaro getting treated like big deal by that crowd. Poor Orton and Sheamus getting booked in front of another smark heavy crowd.

Hollywood Cibernetico Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I can REALLY do without the IC match. I feel like the IC match is going to be the shortest match on the card. Hopefully Orton/Sheamus is a sprint as I do not care about either of them and their Battleground match should have appeased any match length quota those two may have together. So, who is going to cost Rollins the belt on Sunday: Cena, Sheamus, or Jon Stewart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Shortest match on the card will be Cesaro / Owens because it is the match that is not Taker / Brock that I am most looking forward to watching. Orton vs. Sheamus will go on forever because Fuck Randy Orton. I am good with Harper putting over Ambrose / Reigns so long as they sell all of his hurty offense.

JCM Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Kane is getting involved is one of the two main events I just don't know which one. Hopefully it's Rollins/Cena as I really don't want to see Brock wasted on Kane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 1. Rollins defeats Cena, but gets double crossed by HHH after the win. Out comes Sheamus who cashes in and wins the title. Sheamus is the new ace for the Authority because of his history with HHH and because he'll be in TMNT 2. 2. Logically speaking, Brock defeats Undertaker. Fuck building to Brock vs Undertaker at WM. Build to Brock vs Austin and Undertaker vs Sting instead. That said, Undertaker probably beats Brock because it makes no sense and is the most boring finish they could have. 3. Ryback retains the title. 4. PTPs retain. 5. The rumblings for Ambrose turning are so strong, which makes me think that we wind up with a wild brawl between the two teams and no one turns. WWE has done this in the past where it looks like someone will turn and then nothing happens. Plus, what a boring as hell outcome. Ambrose turns and Reigns gets to feud with another Shield teammate? Same goes for Ambrose feuding with another Shield teammate. 6. Rusev beats Dolph. Rusev has been so good lately and I think that run continues. 7. Owens beats Cesaro. Owens needs the win more than Cesaro. That said, if the main roster writing staff are being directed to make Owens look weak, then what better way is there to do that than by having Owens lose to Balor and Cesaro? It will be a great match, I'm sure, but I'm at the point where just having a great match isn't enough because WWE has ruined my investment in those characters. 8. The Bellas win. Whatever. 9. Sheamus wins. 10. I couldn't care less about this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I would like to see Liger added to the card. Maybe against Torito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 You know what would be great, but won't happen? After a 15-minute battle, Ambrose and Wyatt meet up in the middle of the ring and Ambrose says "You're crazy. I'm crazy. Harper's a monster. Roman's a monster. Let's be crazy monsters together and destroy the WWE universe piece by piece." Wyatt opens his arms, he and Ambrose embrace while Harper and Reigns give each knowing looks--and boom, instant heel faction. Call them Hounds & Reapers, or something.

FluffSnackwell Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 2. Logically speaking, Brock defeats Undertaker. Fuck building to Brock vs Undertaker at WM. Build to Brock vs Austin and Undertaker vs Sting instead. That said, Undertaker probably beats Brock because it makes no sense and is the most boring finish they could have. Even against Austin, isn't it a waste of Brock to have him in a match where he can't try to suplex somebody into a coma? Much less at WM. If Austin does suit up for one last ride at 'Mania, I see his opponent as being some sniveling little disrespectful shit like Rollins or Owens. Maybe even Bray Wyatt or Ambrose goading him into one last match because of his ultimate anti-hero status. Besides I think people are sleeping on Lesnar/Cena as a potential WM main event. After all their thing is every bit as unsettled as Reigns/Lesnar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 My usually incorrect predictions... Seth Rollins (WHC) vs John Cena (US) - Something tells me Cena winning is way too obvious. Seth wins, with major shenanigans. Brock vs Undertaker - No way in hell should Taker win this. Brock wins, with a possible cameo from Sting. Intercontinental Triple Threat: Ryback vs Miz vs The Big Show - Ryback retains. Fatal 4 Way Tag Title: New Day Gospel Trio vs The PTP vs The Lucha Dragons vs Los Matadores - Matadores are non-entity, here. I say New Day regains. The Wyatts vs Reigns/Ambrose - Wyatts, with either Dean or Roman doing the heel turn. Rusev vs Ziggler -Rusev, when Lana double crosses Dolph. Owens vs Cesaro - Man, I have no idea. I'll say Owens. Total coin flip guess. Team PCB vs. Team B.A.D. vs. Team Bella - PCB. Randy Orton vs Sheamus - Sheamus Neville & Green Arrow vs Stardust & King Nothing - Neville hits the Red Arrow on Barrett,and lets Amell come in and take the pin.

Wyatt opens his arms, he and Ambrose embrace while Harper and Reigns give each knowing looks--and boom, instant heel faction. Call them Hounds & Reapers, or something. Kane returns, helps the Wyatts - they're absorbed into the Authority. Later in the night, Seth wins but Triple H turns on Seth, Sheamus cashes in. Kane, Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper & Sheamus versus a reunited Shield, leading to a Reigns/Triple H match down the line. I will not rest until the Shield is back together, damnit.

Brian Fowler Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Who's the fourth guy for the Shield in 8-man tags? Cena? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 4 on 3 handicaps will become the newest trend in WWE. EDIT: Realistically - any face that's feuding with any member of the Authority, or a face that's super popular and can be plugged into programs and matches at will (coughdanielbryancough). Cena works, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 On the one hand I'm looking forward to Brock/Taker just to see them beat the shit out of each other. But on the other I hate this story they've come up with for Taker's redemption. It makes no sense since he fought Bray Wyatt in a nothing match at Wrestlemania this year. Now if Taker didn't do anything from WM 30 to when he cost Brock the title than we would have something. I just hate The Deadman character at this point. I would have much rather seen him join The Authority. Corporate Taker could have been fun. Rest of the card looks good. I wish the women's match was just a 9 women guantlet. Nikki barely holding onto her title that way would have at least made it interesting with her running and scamming to get the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 First non WrestleMania PPV top to bottom I'n interested in since SummerSlam 2013. My most anticipated matches. Undertaker and Brock Lesnar have great chemistry together. I watched their WrestleMania XXX match since the show and its better on a second watch. The WrestleMania XXX match had a crappy build, 'Taker suffered a severe concussion in that match and nobody expected the Streak to end. This time its had a great build and Undertaker to look at looks better than he did in that match. I didn't expect we'd get a title for title match between Seth Rollins and John Cena. I thought with Cena retaining the United States Championship in his Open Challenge against Seth beating the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Seth would have to defend the title here. These two have never had a bad match against one another and this will be the biggest stage for it, pressure to nail it when it counts. We get Shield Mark II vs. Wyatt Family Mark II. That should deliver going on past form minus Rollins and Rowan this time around. Hope there's no heel turn in the Shield. I like how Reigns and Ambrose have looked out for each other since the Shield was brought down. Wyatt Family shouldn't have been broken up. Luke Harper deserves a bigger push as he's great. Kevin Ownes vs. Cesaro. We've had them fighting in Triple Threat and tag team matches, now we'll see them one on one. Hope the match gets the time it needs, see this opening the PPV. We've had teases of the Cesaro swing on Owens, we'll see it here. One of those matches when both need the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muhammedboehm Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I know fantasy booking is generally frowned upon but I got to ask those who are calling for a Shamus cash in with Rollins winning the U.S. title what's the next step...is who do they each face next ect?

Brysynner Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Sheamus drops the title to Reigns either on RAW or at Night of Champions. Sheamus is the in-between champion to get the belt on Reigns ASAP provided his feud with the Wyatt Family is completed and ends up feuding with Ryback for the IC Title after Reigns is done with him. Rollins feuds with Cena through Survivor Series, has a mini-feud with Kane to TLC, Rollins cheats to retain against Ambrose at the Rumble, Ambrose eliminates Rollins during the Rumble. Rollins/J&J vs. Ambrose/Reigns main events Fastlane where Ambrose pins Rollins clean in the middle of the ring. Rollins loses the US title when Ambrose pins him at Wrestlemania. Ending shot of Mania is Reigns celebrating pinning Brock Lesnar, Ambrose comes out to join him. I'd have Cole throw a subtle line about how two years in a row members of the Shield celebrated to end Wrestlemania. Rollins can pause his feud with Ambrose to focus on Reigns and regaining his WWE WHC, stating that the only time Reigns has been pinned in a WWE WHC title match was when Seth Rollins pinned him in the middle of the ring at Wrestlemania 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallacy! Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I'm really curious to see the finish to Brock-Undertaker. Not excited for the match itself. Yes, we can excuse the horrid WM 30 match away due to Undertaker's concussion, but he's a year-and-a-half older now and Brock isn't any less physical. Maybe Undertaker wins via Kane returning, then they beat down Brock after the match (because we also need to come up with an explanation for why Brock will be off TV again for a few months).

JonnyLaw Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I wonder if all the hype for an Ambrose/Reigns turn will end up being like everyone expecting the Shield to break up for so long and they never did... until, you know, they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
