Yep, WWE clearly aren't investing any time making an actual mid-card rivalry

Usos feuding with NAO. How can we build this up? Aaah, got it! we'll have them fight twice a week for 2 months with absolutely no new events taking place.

Sheamus - Christian? I wonder how we can make this a credible rivalry. Aaaah! I know! Let's have them fight each other twice a week for 2 months.

There is still a lot of talk regarding the rumored NXT match which could possibly take place at WrestleMania XXX. Right now, the most likely match seems to be a 6-man tag match pitting Adrian Neville, Sami Zayn, and Bo Dallas against Corey Graves and the Ascension.

Cesaro and Jack Swagger were also rumored potentially be part of the match, but now appear destined for the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

Just watched Raw. Was absolutely knackered but couldn't hold off Raw any longer. Read the last 30 pages too.

Will only talk about the main bits as i can barely type.

Opening segment

Thought Bray and cena's promos were absolutely fantastic. I don't agree with you mt that their match isn't going to work. The crowd is already behind it. They are building it up as a Light Vs Dark battle. It will most definitely work.

Seeing Hogan and Cena together was pretty amazing. Cena got into wrestling because of Hogan. He really is his idol and it was such a good moment for him to be in the ring with Hogan. Two absolute legends at the same time. Lol at the ending.

Silver is right that the only reason they are having a 30 man Battle Royal is because of lack of mid carder feuds. However it will be fun. Royal Rumble lite. Bit different.

Bryan's Occupy Raw was absolute cringe lmao. Good segment in terms of kayfabe but f hell Laughing

That was so cringe lol. HHH calls for Security and gets 2 Kitchen Chefs instead Laughing

Why couldn't he call all the heels in the locker instead and wtf happenened to those 5'4 security guards loooool?

Undertaker and Heyman's promo was gold. Heyman was good as usual but even taker's little quote was fantastic. Building up to a good feud.

MT was right about the double Bryan match. Should be good. Looking forward to it.

Skipped other shit. Cba with main event either. Saw Bryan won. Good.

Yohan Modric wrote:Yeh agree with that and I've said that before. But ever since Cena has been the face, no one has got the chance to take his main event spot. Now Cena's rumoured to be taking a backseat, working with up and coming superstars/not main eventing.

Yep. He will still be the main guy/face but he isn't going to be the same guy as he was before and main event every PPV. He will feud with Bray and then a filler feud with maybe Cesaro to build him more and then Batista and then Reigns to build him too.

I told you lol. MT is 90% always right about WWE. He told me the WM card about 6 months before and it's been mostly right. Apart from the 30 man match obv.

No one within WWE gave any credence to the rumor of AMC Networks being interested in purchasing WWE that was started by a UK financial blog earlier today.

However, the rumor was enough to cause a spike in WWE stock. WWE stock closed at $29.75 per share today. The high was $31.98 and the low for the day was $28.83.

We noted before that the talk internally was that Alexander Rusev would have his first main roster match, besides the Royal Rumble appearance earlier this year, after WrestleMania XXX.

Now there’s talk of having Rusev wrestle a match at WrestleMania XXX or on RAW the next night.

by Onyx Fri Mar 14, 2014 3:06 pm

One of the only things I'd possibly take over Bryan winning the title at WM is Cena screwing him and turning heel. hmm

WWE began using Tensai's new name of Jason Albert on last night's NXT episode on the WWE Network. It appears Tensai's days of in-ring action are over for now.

The Shield made their main roster debut all the way back on Nov. 18, 2012, at the WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view (PPV) in Indianapolis, interfering in the night's main event WWE title match putting Ryback through a table allowing CM Punk to retain his championship.

It was an awesome way to introduce Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns.

It could have been a disaster.

That's if the creative powers that be had been allowed to go through with the original plan for the group, as detailed by Reigns in a recent interview with Elvis Duran:

"Yeah, we debuted at Survivor Series. The coolest part of that is we were supposed to have like shields. It was really, for lack of a better word, it was really lame. They had like literal riot shields, big fiberglass riot shields with the word "shield" written up it. Like, everybody will know who we are, geez. But we just pictured trying to get in the ring with these things.

For years now, you go into the ring a certain way and you're not usually carrying a huge plastic shield. So we just had this terrifying nightmare of not being able to get under the bottom rope, like slide in and we're like stuck.

We can't get in and there's like, Ryback standing over us and we've completely blown the whole debut. So immediately Vince was like, 'what are you guys, wussies? You need that?' We're like, 'no'. He's like, 'all right, good, leave 'em.' And then we just ran in there and we beat the dog piss out of Ryback and put him through the table."

Pedigree off the top rope through the announce table IMO.

by M99 Sat Mar 15, 2014 2:07 pm

Pedigree off top rope was CM Punk's finisher. Pepsi Plunge.

by Onyx Sat Mar 15, 2014 2:14 pm

Coming out of SmackDown, the only names WWE has confirmed for the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania XXX are Big E, Ryback, Curtis Axel, Dolph Ziggler, Alberto Del Rio and Fandango.

A few other Superstars have mentioned being in the match on social media and Cesaro mentioned it on a RAW broadcast in Germany but those 6 are the only names announced by WWE so far.

by RealGunner Sat Mar 15, 2014 2:17 pm

Battle Royal format is the same as Royal Rumble right?
