Posted May 19, 20196 yr comment_5888337 Per dot com, tonight's accurate and complete lineup includes: Universal Championship Match Seth Rollins (c) vs. AJ Styles SmackDown Women’s Championship Match Becky Lynch (c) vs. Charlotte Flair Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match Intercontinental Champion Finn Bálor vs. Sami Zayn vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Randy Orton vs. Ricochet vs. Baron Corbin vs. Ali vs. Andrade Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match Bayley vs. Naomi vs. Carmella vs. Natalya vs. Ember Moon vs. Mandy Rose vs. Dana Brooke vs. Nikki Cross WWE Championship Match Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Kevin Owens Raw Women’s Championship Match Becky Lynch (c) vs. Lacey Evans Steel Cage Match The Miz vs. Shane McMahon Roman Reigns vs. Elias United States Championship Match Samoa Joe (c) vs. Rey Mysterio WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match Tony Nese (c) vs. Ariya Daivari Kickoff Match SmackDown Tag Team Champions Daniel Bryan & Rowan vs. The Usos On paper and before booking gets in the way there is no reason not to expect good things from Becky/Charlotte, while AJ/Rollins, Kofi/KO, Men's MITB and Usos vs. Bryan/Rowan all look promising on paper. The rest of the show doesn't really do much for me. But let's get to what's really important: how's everyone handling the show vis a vis Thrones tonight? I plan on watching until Thrones starts, then perhaps popping back in here or catching up throughout the week. We'll see how tired I am.
May 19, 20196 yr comment_5888340 Yeah, I might have it on before Thrones, but then it is absolutely getting shut off, and I doubt I'll go back to it after, since breaking down Thrones will be much more interesting. There's a lot on this show with potential, but nothing that feels must-see - very easy to wait and see what gets good reviews.
May 19, 20196 yr comment_5888344 Whoever gets the briefcase will probably be on both shows for a while since they love to tease constant cash-ins and then not do them. Sami Zayn makes the most sense as the winner since there are two babyface champions, but I could also see them going with any of the heels in the match.
May 19, 20196 yr comment_5888345 I feel like I have seen some form of Samoa Joe vs. Rey Mysterio 50 times so far this year. I care about the tag title match on the pre-show and that's it for this show.
May 19, 20196 yr comment_5888351 Are the titles even on the line in the pre show? Raw team challenging for the Smackdown belts, lol what a mess.
May 19, 20196 yr comment_5888353 The thrones finale means no one is watching this pile of shit but Seth v AJ, Kofi vs Owens and 2 Becky matches sound like wrestling hell.
May 19, 20196 yr comment_5888358 Game of Thrones for sure. I might go back and watch any matches that get positive feedback.
May 19, 20196 yr comment_5888359 My reaction to this season of Game of Thrones thus far : who booked this shit ? (then again, not a big fan at all anyway) "Interested" in watching Lacey Evans having an actual match, for the hell of it.
May 19, 20196 yr comment_5888360 Lacey has done some really good character work in the lead up to this match. I don't know where it can ever go because the rest of the division is a complete joke.
May 19, 20196 yr comment_5888362 When's the last time Daniel Bryan was on the pre-show? That's a weird call. Pulling for Bayley to win MITB. She's been looking really good this year.
May 19, 20196 yr comment_5888369 I haven't seen so much as a millisecond of Game of Thrones and I still probably won't watch this live. The Network makes it too easy to cherry-pick after the fact, which is a necessity with these interminable 4-hour PPVs.

May 19, 20196 yr comment_5888371 I don't watch GoT, so I'll be here from the beginning. The pre-show match is seriously odd, not only because it's Raw vs. SD for no reason, but also because it definitely belongs on the main show. I am rooting for a Dana Brooke victory. I don't care if she's not the "best worker" or whatever the "movez" crowd thinks. She's someone new and fresh to push, which can't be said about Bayley, who is still IMO running on her goodwill from NXT for the most part (even though the move to SDL and "split" with Sasha has given her somewhat of a boost). Dana won't win though, so it doesn't matter. I'd also settle for a Nikki Cross victory, but that won't happen either.

Yeah, Sami has to have the briefcase since it seems like the natural progression of his character and the promos he's been cutting. As for the women, I can see Becky beating Lacey in the opening match but succumbing to Charlotte later on in the evening. You would hope that Lacey Evans would cost Becky the title in order to keep her strong but I'll bet pounds to pennies that Charlotte gets a visual pinfall. Other than those two matches, the card seems as haphazard and slapdash as usual.
May 19, 20196 yr comment_5888377 Sansa wins MITB. She cashes in immediately on Dany, who does the job on her way out. The end.

The Network makes it too easy to cherry-pick after the fact, which is a necessity with these interminable 4-hour PPVs. There's so much fat on the shows now. I go through and watch just the matches and fast forward through the rest. I can usually get through a 4 hour PPV in less than 2 hours.
May 19, 20196 yr comment_5888380 My prediction for Game of Thrones is that the show fades to black, and then fades back in on Tony Soprano and his family sitting in the restaurant and Tony says "Sorry, I was just had a daydream about swords and dragons for a minute there."
May 19, 20196 yr comment_5888393 At least for one night we might actually hear people complain online about something tonight that isn't a WWE PPV.. Until Corbin wins the men's MITB then shit will completely hit the fan So no IIconics match tonight. I think that Becky should win both matches tonight for at least one PPV but I don't see that happening.

May 19, 20196 yr comment_5888397 The Usos are change-the-channel bad as characters. Terrible outfits, horrendous catchphrases, obnoxious personalities.
May 19, 20196 yr comment_5888400 Usos back in their rightful position of having the best first match of the show from the looks of it. What is this goofy shit from the Usos. Oh fuck Graves and Saxton is uber character tonight. This is going to be a long night

Turned into a decent little sprint at the end, but that's about it. This match certainly won't be on any of their career highlight reels. The wrong team won, and non-title matches are pointless.
May 19, 20196 yr comment_5888403 Wait this was a non title match? When was the last time on a PPV that a champion had a non-title match in a traditional, non-gimmicked match. Probably involved the SD tag champions

Unless I missed something, the commentators only referred to The Usos defeating the Smackdown Tag Team Champions (not becoming the champions) and I don't think Usos walked out with the belts Championships at the end.
