WWE

Goldberg is in this week's RAW! Strowman vs Zayn: Last Man Standing! Dolph vs Corbin! Miz vs Ambrose for the IC Title! When is Emmalina going to show up?

Last WWE TV of the year. Will they end 2016 in a high note? What sort of impact will Cena's return have on Smackdown? Will Braun's rampage go on this week as well?

A seemingly simple question with many facets to it. Do you think WWE is a monopoly, Why or Why Not?

They should do that for the 30th Royal Rumble. 20 from RAW Live, 20 from Smackdown Live, 5 from NXT, & 5 surprise entries. I expect Undertaker to announce his entry into the Royal Rumble match the Smackdown show when Cena returns.

After 2016's final PPV, what is going to happen on RAW? Furthermore, how is SD going to deal with the #1 contendership for the Tag Titles, since Ryder is out? Is JeriKO a thing again? What's left for Charlotte/Sasha? Can Sheamus/Cesaro keep it together after beating New Day? How is Strowman going to deal with his loss to Sami Zayn? Are we finally going to watch AJ vs Ellsworth for the WWE Title? Which gentlemanly behavior is Gallagher having next?

Kevin Owens [c] vs. Roman Reigns (Universal Title) Sasha Banks [c] vs. Charlotte (30-Minute “Iron Man” Match, Women’s Title) The New Day [c] vs. Cesaro/Sheamus (Tag Titles) Rich Swann [c] vs. TJP vs. Brian Kendrick (Cruiserweight Title) Seth Rollins vs. Chris Jericho Braun Strowman vs. Sami Zayn (10-Minute Time Limit Challenge) Pre-Show: Rusev vs. Big Cass At last, the Road-Endending has arrived. The second not-a-PPV of 2016 to be named “Roadblock” is moments away, and my predictions appear above in bold. The year’s final big-ish show is poised to make Tables, Ladders, and Chairs look like Great American Bash ’89: who ya got?

Only really started watching NXT sporadically when the Takeovers started. What are the best matches from this group from its start in 2012 up through the end of 2015?

Since they replaced Superstars with 205 Live, you think they would get rid of Main Event and have a show devoted to the women's division called WAW Live.

After a good RAW show and a great SD PPV, how are they going to follow up their storylines? Will they keep doing those Cesaro/Sheamus skits? Charlotte/Sasha is far from being over, but are they going to mix it up? Is the BIG DAWG going to be US & Universal Champion? What will happen until Roadblock? Is JeriKO over for reals? Who's going to stand up against the Wyatt's reign of terror? Did Nattie really attack Nikki? Is Ellsworth going to win against AJ and become the WWE Champion?????? Also, I think I missed something: with the cruiserweights having their own show, do they still appear on Raw?

Braun squashes thankfully return

WWE TLC PPV Sunday, December 04, 2016. American Airlines Center Dallas, Texas, USA WWE Title: AJ Styles© Vs. Dean Ambrose - TLC Match Women's Title: Becky Lynch© Vs.

Carmella - No DQ Match Kalisto Vs. Baron Corbin - Chairs Match

Hey there was a 3 hour Raw last night and I'm sure some of you probably actually even watched it. I'd even guess that at least one of you goofs came to write about that episode of Raw and said "oh man there's no topic for this week, whatever will I do???" instead of completing the very arduous task of clicking the "Start New Topic" button.

I'm so glad the WWE lifted their ban on PPVs in Toronto, as it's been a decade since the last one. Now we get both. NXT TakeOver: Toronto November 19, 2016 Shinsuke Nakamura -c- vs Samoa Joe (NXT Men's Title) Asuka -c- vs Mickie James (NXT Women's Title) Booby Roode vs Tye Dillinger The Authors of Pain vs TM-61 (Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Finals) The Revival vs #DIY (2/3 Falls, NXT Tag Team Titles) WWE Survivor Series November 20, 2106 Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg Team Raw (Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, & Braun Strowman) vs Team SmackDown (AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, Shane McMahon, Randy Orton, & Bray Wya…

So, after last night's odd Survivor Series, there were moments that progressed some stories and raised some questions: How is JeriKO going to survive after Owens pretty much destroyed Jericho's most valuable possession, the list? Is Zayn going to get a rematch after being screwed out of his championship win? Would that mean he's going to jump ship for good? After losing to Goldberg in less than 90 seconds, what will Brock and Heyman do? Who attacked Nikki? Is Shane alive? Did Orton finally gain Harper's trust? WHOSE SIDE IS HE ON? Bayley vs Charlotte is also the main RAW women's feud now, so how will that play out? As much as the show felt weird and downright bad…

My favorite line from Raw this week came from Doc Gallows: "A grown man crying over a toy sword. This is exactly the problem." That made me cracking up more than it should have. Overall a good episode, just hate the return of 'we have to do it for the brand!' trope as WWE hasn't laid out a reason for any of these guys to be loyal to either of the brands at this point.

Cedric Alexander, Lince Dorado & Sin Cara vs. Tony Nese, Drew Gulak & Ariya Daivari (Kickoff Match) Bayley vs. Dana Brooke Enzo Amore & Big Cass vs. Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson Raw Tag Team Champions The New Day vs. Cesaro & Sheamus WWE Cruiserweight Champion TJ Perkins vs. Brian Kendrick U.S. Champion Roman Reigns vs. Rusev (Hell in a Cell Match) WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins (Hell in a Cell Match) Raw Women's Champion Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte Flair (Hell in a Cell Match)

So, not only do we sacrifice the best male heel on the Raw roster in Rusev to get a 49 year old man who is back for one match over, said 49 year old then proceeds to fall down delivering a knee strike.... we are off to a fantastic start.

Finally able to create a topic, so here we go. Per Alvarez, Vince blew a gasket at the "Goldberg Sucks" chants and pulled the plug early on the Lesnar segment. Not sure why they expected Brock to be able to get heel heat in Minneapolis of all places. God bless Paul for working his ass off trying though.

Damn. http://www.prowrestlingsheet.com/hideo-itami-injured-neck-video/ Twitter video: https://twitter.com/pwunlimited/status/782698358116757504/video/1 This really sucks, and it's one of the drawbacks of the NXT program - world class wrestlers facing green-as-grass rookies. I realize they need to learn, but there has to be a better way.

This video of Daniel Bryan is so depressing:

Apparently Raw is on. I am not watching it. But I swear that YOU, yes YOU the person reading this post, are also capable of creating the weekly WWE TV thread with an opening post as great as this one.

Jack Swagger vs. Baron Corbin Niki Bella vs. Carmella The Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler Becky Lynch vs. Alexa Bliss (Lynch is apparently a scratch) Heath Slater & Rhyno vs. The Usos Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt AJ Styles vs. John Cena vs. Dean Ambrose Smackdown TV is very fun of late and Backlash was a very good show so I'm looking forward to this. Interestingly, they just announced on Twitter that the main event will open the show. Afraid of debate competition even with it as Network programming or an angle to set up another title match later in the night?

Personally I don't really see what the point of a cruiserweight division is in 2016. What's the hook? What makes it stand out from the rest of the matches in WWE? Does WWE really need a "flippy do/workrate division" when half the guys in the company do some kind of dive? At a period when the pace of most WWE matches is faster than ever I don't see how the CWs can stand out. I don't see any positives to it and all it seems like it will do is limit guys' career who start in that division as it kind of sticks them with a "can't hang with the rest of the roster" stink. If they wanted to bring something completely unique to Raw they should have raided AAA for minis and broug…

From WWE.com: STAMFORD, Conn. — WWE has suspended Jose Rodriguez (Alberto Del Rio) for 30 days effective tomorrow, Thursday, Aug. 18, for his first violation of the company’s talent wellness policy. http://www.wwe.com/article/alberto-del-rio-suspended With the rumors of heat between him and Triple H, his general unhappiness, and the out clause he supposedly has in September, this is all very interesting timing. I wonder why the suspension is beginning tomorrow. That's new, isn't it?
