Smackdown is clearly outperforming RAW. Just a better product overall.
The best place for Ring of Honor discussion!

Yeah, I agree. Wish they would feed American Alpha another team besides the Usos though. I like the women's roster better on Smackdown. Plus, you got AJ Styles who makes everyone better.Brada wrote:Smackdown is clearly outperforming RAW. Just a better product overall.
I'm just hoping that Luke Harper wins the Battle Royal, and we end up getting a three-way at 'Mania, because it'd be a shame if Harper was left off the card, especially considering he's a big part of the whole storyline surrounding The Wyatt Family in the last few months.Brada wrote:So Orton bows to Wyatt last night and says he won't face him for the title....now there is going to be a battle royal to determine Wyatt's challenger at Mania.
This has got to all be a ruse. Orton at some point snaps, RKO to Wyatt, then cuts a promo while Wyatt is laying on his back staring at the lights. Orton tells him that it will all be over that quick at Mania.....
That's my guess.
A lot of times people talk about how there’s no long-term planning but the WrestleMania 34 main event for April 8, 2018, which obviously could change, is set for Lesnar vs. Reigns for the Universal title.
.Right now the plan is for Nakamura to debut on the main roster very shortly. I’m not sure what date it will be, but the likely scenario is he loses to Bobby Roode at Takeover and starts immediately after, with Raw after WrestleMania being a good bet. There are others who may be brought up as well. Asuka is likely not one of them because the posters for the U.K. tour are built around Roode, Asuka, Kassius Ohno, Dillinger, Aleister Black and Sanity [Note: every indivudal listing for this summer's UK tour has Nakamura currently advertised]
There has been a lot of talk around wrestling over the past few weeks that Jim Cornette will be the one to induct the Rock & Roll Express into the WWE Hall of Fame on 3/31. Some will be surprised about Cornette being at a WWE function, but I’m not in the least as he wasn’t going to turn down being part of honoring the team. Neither the WWE nor Cornette would confirm or deny the story
WWE announced a show called “United Kingdom Championship Live,” which will actually be taped, with the tapings taking place on 5/6 and 5/7 at Epic Studios in Norwich, England, a 900-seat building. The timing of the shows work well for WWE, since they are touring the U.K. at the time, meaning the entire crew is there and will be doing television on 5/8 and 5/9 from the O2 Arena in London. So taping at that time saves a lot of money, particularly since the plans for the tapings are to use both the U.K. talent under contract like champion Tyler Bate, Trent Seven, Pete Dunne, Mark Andrews, Wolfgang, Tyson T-Bone, Sam Gradwell, James Drake, Joseph Conners, Dan Moloney and Saxon Huxley, as well as WWE cruiserweight talent like Rich Swann, Akira Tozawa, T.J. Perkins, Brian Kendrick and Tony Nese. All of those wrestlers were being brought in for television, but may not have had other house show work as it’s most likely that the Raw crew tour will include Neville vs. Austin Aries title matches, so they wouldn’t be available for these tapings.
At this point, nothing has been said as to where the shows would air. WWE was looking at local television for a weekly U.K. series as opposed to it being on the WWE Network, since the idea is to create stars off television and run house shows off it.
The company announced a 7/9 Raw PPV, Bad Blood for the XL Center in Hartford, which would be the first PPV in the city in 17 years.
Summer Rae, who has been out of action since August with a shoulder injury, has been at the Performance Center training. There is talk of adding her to the Smackdown women’s title match.
Current PPV schedule through next year:The site of WWE's Battleground PPV, which will be a SmackDown show, will be the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
Tickets for Battleground are available right now for a pre-sale using the code "WWEPHILLY."

August 25, 2016
We're back in court! Join us as the Prosecution of Liam O'Rourke and Karl Jones face the Defence team of Luke Edwards and Matt Holt, as Judge Chase presides over The Trial of The Undertaker! Both Taker and WWE are up on the charge of Misrepresentation of Stature, and Fraud in overstating his success and impact on WWE. We take your "witness statements" on the charge, and debate the first Decade of Destruction, the Biker/Deadman Part Deux years, as well as his time as a Special Attraction with his famed WrestleMania streak. A debate that covers every facet of Undertaker's WWE career, this was a tremendously spirited debate, check it out!
Yeah, that was bullshit. I hate when a crowd tries to get themselves over. I totally agree with you what Vince should have done. The problem was they started the show off with Reigns and it dictated the rest of the show. Perhaps if they started off with Lesnar they might have not lost control. Instead, Reigns seemed overwhelmed by the crowd and didn't know what to do, they smelled blood, and that was it. Crowd empowered.Big Red Machine wrote:Well... that crowd was atrocious. If I was Vince, the moment that beach ball came out I would have had the guys in the ring just go-home via small package then had the production truck run a "Best of The Undertaker" playlist for the networks while sending the two greenest NXT guys I could find out to the ring to give the live crowd ninety minutes of headlocks. But not. Instead they PUT THE CROWD OVER FOR COMPLETELY IGNORING THE SHOW.
