So Raw is on right now as its in London as part of the European tour, it will still be shown at its regular time of course.

Also I posted a little while ago that Goldberg will be at the next Saudi show next month, his opponent is.....Undertaker!

Its 2019 and we are getting Goldberg v Undertaker, what the hell! :lol:
 
Still waiting for that cold day in hell when Sting v. Taker is a thing. $20 says it'll happen in the next two years.

Probably happen as a throwaway 6 minute match in KSA.
 
Braun Strowman lost his spot in the men's MITB match on Sunday, Sami Zayn beat him in a Falls Count Anywhere match on Raw to get Strowman's spot (with help from Corbin and McIntyre) Braun has had some backstage heat following WrestleMania because of the spot in the Battle Royal where he threw Ali and Ali hit the announce table hard causing him to pick up an injury. Braun also had a large strapping on his right arm last night too so he could be nursing some sort of injury.

Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins are in a relationship, its been rumoured for a while but they both confirmed it via social media.

Lars Sullivan has been fined $100k and ordered to do sensitivity training, this is after some old controversial tweets and posts of his were uncovered.
 
I'm very happy to see the rumors were true. Now we just have to hope they don't blow it like TNA did when they were on a bigger channel.

And in not-as-good AEW news, they also released their plans for PPV. Double or Nothing (along with their other PPV's) will stream on Bleacher Report and cost $50.

I'm sure they'll get quite a few buys, but at that price point and it being on Memorial Day weekend in the states (so, lot's of people BBQing and hanging out with family/friends) makes me worry it will be a disappointing number. I was going to buy it afterwards and watch it as I'll be out of town all weekend, but at that price I'll pass. For a well-funded, "future thinking" company, sticking with the ancient overpriced PPV setup seems really odd.
 
Yeah they really should try to get some sort of full-time online service going at a reasonable price point that would include those bigger events. But if the TV network doesn't want people watching the standard shows that way it will be pretty tough to do without the mountains of content that WWE has to throw at people. Then again, last I checked WWE still offers their PPVs the old-fashioned way at ridiculously high prices so I guess somebody out there is still willing to just throw buckets of money at the TV.
 
Ric Flair was hospitalized in Atlanta this morning, however Conrad Thompson reported that it was a planned procedure, definitely worth keeping an eye on this story.

Alexa Bliss not medically cleared to compete on Sunday so she has been pulled from the Women's MITB match, no announcement on her replacement yet.

I don't think it would be outside of the realm of possibility given the relationship they seemingly have with quite a few indy promotions. I could see them eventually launching a service that includes archive footage from smaller promotions as well as AEW PPV's.

They do, according to comment sections, MITB is listed at $45.

It just seems like this was the perfect opportunity to highlight that they aren't just in this for money, but they squandered this opportunity.
 
Nikki Cross will replace Bliss in the MITB match.

I haven't really followed the main roster since the shakeup week, but I'm a sucker for ladder matches so I'm excited for Sunday. The rest of the card looks rather decent as well, granted I'm worried about how the Women's title matches will be booked.
 
So its the first PPV post-WrestleMania tonight, its Money In The Bank and here is the card.

Kick-Off Show

Smackdown Tag Team Championship
Daniel Bryan & Rowan (c) v The Usos

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cruiserweight Championship
Tony Nese (c) v Ariya Daivari

United States Championship
Samoa Joe (c) v Rey Mysterio

Men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match
Baron Corbin, Ricochet, Drew McIntyre, Finn Balor, Sami Zayn, Randy Orton, Ali and Andrade.

Women's Money In the Bank Ladder Match
Ember Moon, Natalya, Nikki Cross, Bayley, Naomi, Dana Brooke, Mandy Rose and Carmella.

Raw Women's Championship
Becky Lynch (c) v Lacey Evans

Steel Cage Match
The Miz v Shane McMahon

Roman Reigns v Elias

WWE Championship
Kofi Kingston (c) v Kevin Owens

Universal Championship
Seth Rollins (c) v AJ Styles

Smackdown Women's Championship
Becky Lynch (c) v Charlotte Flair

Copied this from WWE.com which has the SD Women's title match going on last, Daniel Bryan and The Usos really shouldn't be on the pre-show.
 
The Cruiserweights have managed to sneak onto the main show! :eek:
 
Women's MITB match to start the show, the Usos v Bryan/Rowan wasn't for the SD tag titles, I'm sure it was supposed to be....wonder it if changed...and why?
 
We're getting yet another title tomorrow and Mick Foley will be announcing it. Unless it's a belt aimed at the lower card guys, I really don't understand why they feel another main roster belt is needed.

Edit: well, it was a pretty good PPV up to the end, than WWE blew it in monumental fashion.

It was quite a weird show....
 
If you are both GOT and WWE fan, I feel sorry for you...
 
Brock always gets title matches anyway, what does he needs the case for??

Good show overall, Kofi and KO had a great match, Samoa Joe's left shoulder was clearly a good few inches of the mat for the pin and then in the Becky v Lacey match the ref had to check for five seconds if Becky's shoulders were down when they clearly were.

Bayley winning the Women's MITB and then cashing in on Charlotte was a fantastic moment which has been a long time coming for Bayley and so well deserved. 👍

Seth Rollins and AJ Styles produced a masterclass in their match, a simply superb match and a match of the year contender, more of the same from them please!
 
And we get a 24/7 title, because that's totally what we wanted. :rolleyes:

Having had the exact same idea to bring back the 24/7 rule for a title belt, I am totally excited about this. But yeah, that is a bland design. I thought it was a clock or something, but then I saw it's just circles with words on it. The crowd reaction to the unveiling was also real tepid, but the action was nice.
 
So I couldn't watch Raw as it didn't record for me last night (its been happening quite a bit with Raw and Smackdown lately where it moves channels and therefore doesn't record :grumpy:) Anyway the 24/7 championship is an interesting concept that I'm willing to give time before I make a proper judgement on it, but the belt doesn't look good and it needs a Black strap and not a Green one.

The new title adds to the many that are already in WWE. In fact.....here's a list.

WWE Championship
Universal Championship
United States Championship
Intercontinental Championship
Raw Women's Championship
Smackdown Women's Championship
Women's Tag Team Championship
Raw Tag Team Championship
Smackdown Tag Team Championship
WWE 24/7 Championship
Cruiserweight Championship
NXT Championship
NXT Women's Championship
NXT North American Championship
NXT Tag Team Championship
NXT United Kingdom Championship
NXTUK Women's Championship
NXTUK Tag Team Championship

That's 18 in total!
 
Double Or Nothing is tonight, it is available to watch in the UK, contemplating whether to order it or not.
 
Jon Moxley is a guest on Chris Jericho podcast Talk is Jericho this week and he thanked WWE for the last eight years and that he will always be grateful because its where he met his wife....and then he went on the assault!

He said that the creative process in WWE sucks and Vince is the biggest problem there.
He said that they pay Brock millions of dollars to ruin the company.
He knew he was leaving in July 2018.
He didn't even look at the last offer WWE made him.
He said that if there was no other Wresting promotion in the World he still would've left.
He only got paid $500 for his final appearance, which was a Network special.

Haven't listened to it yet but I really want to!, its been big news today and its been Twitter trending in the UK all afternoon.

The podcast really was a great listen. He really went in on them.

I can list about 10 things that happened at DON. I can list 2 from raw/smackdown, one is Sami name dropping AEW, the other is Brock's "I have a year".

Says it all really.
