Dolfan in NYC Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 They're already building to Strowman/McIntyre, so Drew's either screwing him out of the title (more likely) or Braun's winning and his first defense is at Survivor Series against Drew. Keeping the title vacant is going to be worse than Brock being an absentee champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSC Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Survivor Series is 2 weeks away from Crown Jewel - I don't think that amount of time is going to make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Do we actually know what Brock's last show is? Because I was somehow convinced that he was basically out of the door already, and only doing Crown Jewel for a few barrels of crude oil and some gold bars.

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 20th anniversary of the Deadly Game tournament. Could work. Braun and Brock get a bye in the first round against each other. Rollins, Ambrose, Balor, Lashley, Elias, Corbin, Ziggler, McIntyre, Angle, Roode, Jinder, Bray? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite PPVs of that era. I love one night tournaments, I love the idea of one man surviving through several rounds of competition and the exhaustion that goes into it. I'd much rather see something like you laid out than a singles match between Braun/Brock. I wouldn't even mind if they did the old WMIV deal and had Braun/Brock end in a no contest and DQ both men. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Surely they're looking towards the probability that they're not going to have Lesnar available at Mania. I'd like to try something different and have McIntyre screw Braun in the opening round, Lesnar/Rollins final, and then have Ambrose help Rollins beat Lesnar, because he genuinely believes he can torture him more if he has to defend his title also. You never get that look where guys win the title, but are genuinely concerned of the ramifications of having done so, if Ambrose passes up the opportunity to let Lesnar beat down Rollins, because he genuinely believes he can do it better. Ambrose/Rollins and Braun/Drew seem like your big money Mania matches. Rollins seems like the guy who can best benefit from going over Lesnar right now.

John from Cincinnati Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 I don't know why we're looking toward Mania. This company dragging something out that long sounds like one of the circles of hell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Because on the RAW side, I can't see where else you build towards for Mania other than what's already running now (Ambrose/Rollins, Strowman/McIntyre). Unless Lesnar's UFC fight gets cancelled, or Reigns makes a miraculous recovery, I can't see what else they're running with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, they will just call up HBK HHH, Undertaker, Kane, Batista, Trish Stratus, Lita, Jeff Hardy, and a few others from the past to fill out the top of the card. Nothing says Wrestlemania like part-times taking over the top of the card for that 'one last paycheck' match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Of course, but they'll be paired together, and won't impact the week in week out programs that are clearly starting to be built long term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonteCarl Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Yeah, I'd say more likely to be Kurt v Rey in the finals Seth beats Lashley Kurt beats Dolph Kurt beats Seth Jeff beats Miz Rey beats Orton Rey beats Jeff Rey beats Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Dean costs Seth, Angle beats Dolph. Angle beats Lashley by DQ and gets beatdown afterwards. Miz beats Jeff, Rey and Orton go to a draw. Miz beats a beaten up Angle only after Corbin interferes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Per Meltzer on the radio show post RAW - the WWE still will not deny that Daniel Bryan won't be on the show. Dave said that he still doesn't know what is gonna to happen and basically it seems no one will know until Bryan does or does not get on the plane this evening. He said the latest he is being told is that if Bryan isn't going to work the show, they aren't going to announce it ahead of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Conn Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 https://www.ewrestlingnews.com/news/big-update-on-daniel-bryans-status-for-wwe-crown-jewel Quote Daniel Bryan is supposed to challenge AJ Styles for the WWE Title at WWE Crown Jewel. However, after weeks of speculation on if Bryan would work the show, his status has been revealed. According to a report by PWinsider, he will not be traveling to the country. This is after a report from Robbie Fox of Barstool Sports that claimed Bryan would not be working the event, which led to the company making alternative plans. WWE has yet to confirm Bryan’s status. WWE had planned to not send AJ Styles to Saudi Arabia. Instead, they were going to have Bryan wrestle Styles inside the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida with the match airing as part of the Crown Jewel broadcast. However, those plans were dropped. It should be noted that Bryan is still scheduled to appear on tonight’s SmackDown Live, which will be interesting to see how WWE work around the match. The WWE Crown Jewel pay-per-view event takes place on November 2nd, 2018 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at the King Saud University Stadium and will air on the WWE Network.
