Dolfan in NYC Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Okay, so the card is pretty much set. Might as well start this: WWE World Heavyweight Championship Triple H © vs. Roman Reigns For control of Monday Night Raw, Hell in a Cell Undertaker (w/Vince McMahon) vs. Shane McMahon Intercontinental Championship Kevin Owens © vs. Sami Zayn vs. The Miz United States Championship Kalisto © vs. The Ryback Tag Team Championship, 4 on 3 handicap The New Day © vs. The League of Nations Divas Championship Charlotte © vs. Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks Street Fight Brock Lesnar vs. Dean Ambrose Brie Bella vs. Lana The Usos vs. The Dudley Boyz AJ Styles vs. Chris Jericho Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royale ----- I still say they're setting up Shane as having a proxy to fight for him. If it is, it's probably Ziggler.
muhammedboehm Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I thought the talk going around was the Lana Brie match would be an 8 diva match with Lana+ Team Bad + Summer vs Team Bella + Paige + Natty 1
Spritenaut 32 Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I like Ziggler more than most, but him replacing Shane at this point - and likely winning, since the brand split seems almost certain to be a thing - would be bizarre, at a minimum.
Technico Support Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Addition via subtraction: take Miz out of that match FFS
Rehabilitated Rick Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 After Shane's highlight reel and the build so far, a proxy seems highly unlikely and would blow any potential lapsed fan interest that's been garnered since Shane's return. You would think Usos/Dudleys and the total divas blow off will be on the pre-show. Styles/Jericho has yet to be announced? on paper, aside from Brock/Ambrose this show looks dreadful. 1
Dolfan in NYC Posted March 16, 2016 Author Posted March 16, 2016 Whoops, forgot about Styles/Jericho. But I'd be shocked if they didn't run it.
ChrisM Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Was Neville supposed to be a part of the IC title match? I'll have to see how the next couple of weeks of tv go, before I make any predictions....or wait to see who else is injured before then, since that seems to be a pretty common occurrence now.
RIPPA Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Yeah - there are more than 3 people in the IC Match And it sure seems like the Dudleys/Usos will have more tag teams in it too
RIPPA Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Since they haven't actually mentioned the Andre Battle Royal yet - there is a chance they could move that to some other PPV But then you have a ton of guys not actually on the show
Go2Sleep Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I thought the talk going around was the Lana Brie match would be an 8 diva match with Lana+ Team Bad + Summer vs Team Bella + Paige + Natty Yeah, that's the "get every other woman on the (pre)show" match. Addition via subtraction: take Miz out of that match FFS Definitely agree with this. If Neville didn't get hurt, a 4-way would be fine, but now they'd be better working Miz out of the program. I also can't see Ziggler replacing Shane, given how much more over Shane is right now. I'm sure Dolph will interfere in that match, but it looks more like they're setting up a heel turn to me.
The Z Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Since they haven't actually mentioned the Andre Battle Royal yet - there is a chance they could move that to some other PPV But then you have a ton of guys not actually on the show They did announce the André Battle Royal on the Interwebs.
nofuture Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I can see them adding Jericho, Styles and Zayn to the IC Match and them making into the yearly MITB IC Title Ladder match o' mid-carders.
RIPPA Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Since they haven't actually mentioned the Andre Battle Royal yet - there is a chance they could move that to some other PPV But then you have a ton of guys not actually on the show They did announce the André Battle Royal on the Interwebs. What's weird is that I went looking for that very page on the site yesterday and couldn't find it Of course the new layout is a disaster
MonteCarl Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I could see them adding Big Show and Ziggler to the IC match as they are both guys who have had beef with Owens in the last few weeks/months and it seemed like that's where they were headed with Neville, too. And it's almost definite that the other divas will be added to the Brie/Lana thing, what with Lana palling with Team BAD. It will probably be Brie/Fox/Paige/Nattie vs. Lana/Summer/Team BAD and will hopefully be on the pre-show
Phantom Lord Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Well they said the show is seven hours so I assume the pre-show will be half of those matches. I mean I can't imagine they would willingly put The Uso's vs. Dudley's on the main card. I saw on the SC subreddit that with everyone on the roster not in a match (this is assuming there isnt some giant ladder match for the IC Title like last year) that there are only 25 guys for the Andre battle royal. They would have to call up some NXT stars to fill the gaps. Shane vs. Taker is gonna be such a crazy match. It's just a shame the story that's going with it makes no frigging sense what so ever.
RIPPA Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Oh I could see them only putting 25 in, claim it was 30 and then be shocked when people actually counted
(BP) Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Taker looks like hell, but he's still physically capable of holding up his end (and Shane's.) I'm sure he doesn't want to get embarrassed in his home state, especially when every Mania might be his last. I really hope the Shane match is every bit of the beautifully absurd schmohz that Sting/HHH was last year.
nate Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 We're getting closer and closer to an all-triple threat 'Mania.
zev Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 So instead of an 8 man NXT at Axxess tournament where the winner gets in the battle royal, they can just have 5 matches where all the winners get in.
Nice Guy Eddie Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 We're getting closer and closer to an all-triple threat 'Mania. WM16 had one singles match; The Kat vs. Terri Runnels.
ChrisM Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I have a feeling the ATGMBR will be the last WM for guys like Fandango and Swagger.
Raziel Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 There feels like there's something, or someone, looming in the shadows of the Taker/Shane match. But I can't see him.
Spritenaut 32 Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 There feels like there's something, or someone, looming in the shadows of the Taker/Shane match. But I can't see him. It'll be Kane. It's been that kind of year. 1
Niners Fan in CT Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I can only guess something like Austin as special referee. But it's just as likely that this is a year where the tickets are sold and there's nothing they feel they can do to improve the card.
