Depending on how much Rock wants to actually wrestle, if you have him turn on Reigns during/after the match (Cody can still win clean and Rock turns after Reigns fails to finish the job), you could have Rock take over as tribal chief, feud with Rhodes till Summerslam where Cody retains cleanly, then Rock and Reigns settle the tribal chief role at next year's wrestlemania.

Rock is filming a movie on Mark Kerr (ufc guy) after mania. It feels like Roman takes a break after so who knows what happens to the bloodline.  

[cmontexas 3209]

Gunter finally dropping his IC title is a clue he's gonna move up and be Cody's heel feud after Mania imo

[MrX 683]

Fun, predictable main event. Reigns gets a rematch right?

I bet he takes a break for a year or so.

Yeah.  During a press conference they asked about his chemo with leukemia and he said it's an every day thing.  I think he is gonna go back to part time for a bit.

Here comes an old head talking:

 

matches aren’t up to par.   Where’s the story telling?  You can’t kick out of a finisher 5 times in a row.  
the matches were sloppy as shit.  
 

Happy for Cody

[jetsfan76 649]

I watched the highlights, and as a former wrasslin' fan, I have to say those matches were awesome! The DONG gave me goosebumps. Probly helps that he's a Horn fan, along with Cody and his hot ass wife.

This is cool

Backlash crowd in Lyon was incredible.  I'm curious how long is this Cody push?

[Jshep34 2296]

That type of atmosphere would be a blast to be at. Sure the wrestlers fed off that. They deserve a wrestlemania

[closetohumping 17287]

Wrestlemania will be in Vegas next year.

WWE must like dynasty mode as Roman, Gunther and now Logan Paul have had long runs.  I think Cody will as well.

 

New Bloodline isn't working for me.  Tama is an awkward, relatively little guy. Maybe better for a tag team run with his brother.

[HtownHorn 14320]

LA Knight needs a title soon. He usually gets the biggest pops on Smackdown. He's very under appreciated because he's been really good since his days in TNA and NWA. Guy is just a master class on cutting promos. Having to job to Haku's adopted kid was a choice for the bookers.

Wyatt family made thier debut tonight. Very interesting in seeing how/what they write them into. Love the tributes to bray

[cmontexas 3209]

I was never a huge Wyatt Family guy, not into the whole Devil's Rejects aesthetic.

But got pretty damn dusty seeing Bo out there finishing his brother's story

[Jshep34 2296]

Think they are limited in what they can do from a long term story telling. Like ya said it was great seeing all the bray tributes. Especially with Rowan back in the group. Sure Tyler and him are going to do everything to make this work in brays honor

[WBT 20212]

Lulz, had never seen this before

I turned in to watch it, 1st time I have watched Raw live in almost 10 years. I have been reading about how they are going to book them. It's going to a fine line with them no selling.

A little Easter Egg with Rowan was the hammer he was carrying. That was a tribute to his former tag team partner Brodie Lee from their days in the WWE as the Bludgeon Brothers.

[closetohumping 17287]

New bloodline looks cool

[HtownHorn 14320]

Weird rumor I read today. AEW is struggling recently with TV viewership which might lead to Tony Khan forced to sell, especially if they lose their TNT/TBS contracts. In swoops Shane McMahon to buy AEW/ROH and then let Vince take control.

Roman returnign and going scorched earth on them should be fun.

[Jshep34 2296]

Think he comes back around summerslam

[elfenix 34075]

Last ride for Cena

[satyanash 14133]

Tuned into RAW on a whim tonight, and my oh my 👀

 

 

[NoRagrets 1120]

It’s so awesome. Love the dirty dom love triangle.

Roman needs to come back to save Raw. Solo just doesn’t have the mic game. 

[NoRagrets 1120]

Rumors abuzz about Roman Reins coming back at Summer Slam. He’s still on the cover art for Smackdown, so surely he won’t be gone until Wrestlemania 2025.

[Jshep34 2296]

Curious on thier path forward with joe hendry

[closetohumping 17287]

MJF is really good at his job.

 

Shane McMahon met with Tony Khan

I just saw a instagram video on the guy, doesn’t seem like a stick that would last on the main roster.

MJF is great, but not watching much other than highlights or anything of aew anymore I haven’t seen much but read a bit about it. 
 The Shane stuff about coming there is bs I think. 
But LA Knight finally got an important victory and won a title!  See what he does with it.  I basically read breakdowns every couple weeks and watch here and there for a bit, so my opinion is crap.  Watching Summerslam on fast forward now.

[NoRagrets 1120]

Summer Slam was incredible. One True Chief!

[Jshep34 2296]

Wwe sold $800k in roman merchandise in 12 hours.

[NoRagrets 1120]

I’m thinking:

Roman slowly comes back and assembles the old bloodline (Jimmy, Jey, and Sami Zayn) to challenge the Solo bloodline. Rock comes back to challenge Roman for your wrestlemania headliner.

I don’t know what happens with Cody for a bit.

I think Mjf could be the main face of the wwe if he had gone there.  He’s better than Rhodes

Zilla fatu( umangas son) won the reality of wrestling title tonight. Cool to see him win it in his hometown. His mom was in alot of tears. After losing his dad and him trying to fill those shoes was great to see him bring some joy to his family

[HtownHorn 14320]

I am shocked, AEW actually gave Danielson the belt. Got the clean tap out on Swerve, Strickland did well as the heel champ with a face pop. All In was pretty good, except for Christian winning the Casino battle royal meaning AEW is going to do a program with Danielson and Christian. Horrible.

Also, Ricochet made his long awaited bebut in the Casino match. Sting had a run in after the Darby-Perry match to stop the Elite from lighting Darby on fire.

AEW continues to suffer from poor booking as Tony Khan is running the organization into the ground.

[Jshep34 2296]

Aew rely to much on surprise appearances and big time spots. No story development. If you are depending on Jericho, Christian and Danielson to drive ratings up sorry but I don't see it happening

During a WCW tour of Europe, both Eudy and Arn Anderson were involved in an argument at a hotel bar in the English town of Blackburn on October 27, 1993. Anderson threatened Eudy with a broken bottle; after being sent to their rooms by security chief Doug Dillinger, Eudy later came to Anderson's room and attacked him with a chair leg, and Anderson retaliated with a pair of scissors. Eudy received four stab wounds and Anderson received 20, losing a pint and a half of blood in the process. The fight was broken up by fellow wrestler 2 Cold Scorpio, who was credited with saving Anderson's life. Neither man pressed charges against the other, and British police declined to do so since both men would soon be leaving the country. Eudy was later fired over the incident.^[27]

Prior post notwithstanding he was supposedly a pretty nice guy and was notorious for no-showing or feigning injury to go play slow pitch softball .

[Jshep34 2296]

Damn that sucks. Him swinging a softball bat would have been a sight.

[Dennis Taylor 18567]

[T’Boo Ted Marshall 2719]

Dang. You had Lawler and John Smoltz on your team?

[closetohumping 17287]

Did hangman page do something different to his face?   He looks psycho now

[closetohumping 17287]

Berlin spoilers

 

 

rhodes clean over Owens 

Gunther clean over Randy 

 

I guess Gunther is the future.   His remakes towards priest a few months ago were borderline racist imo.   Also he’s got a weird looking body.   Speaking of body, they keep marveling at Randy weighing 290, he looked way better at 245

[Jshep34 2296]

I just can't buy Gunther being main event material. If wwe came to town would I buy a ticket to see him, no. Roman,cody,randy put butts in the seats. Son really wants to make a show to see Joe Hendry though.

He gets a huge pop though. But I’m guessing everyone in his position would  He’s tall, his wrestling has an art to it.   Think it’s him vs Rhodes at mania?

 

[Jshep34 2296]

It's a possibility Gunther vs cody. But that'll depend on the rock. Curious on when cody will turn heal though. Gunther is a heck of a wrestler though. It's great to see the transformation Damian and him have had.
