Asuka broke her collarbone in the Takeover match

 

[Egg0]

They should've fudged her return time table and make it seem like she'll be gone for a while. That could give them an excuse to strip her of the title and have her return sooner on the main roster as a surprise.

 

[Bronx-Man]

WHEN IT COMES CRASHING DOWN AND IT HURTS INSIDE!

Time for the Hulkster to give Big Ass some pointers on doing the leg drop right

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Explains why she wasn't a surprise in either title match yesterday

Yep. Explains at least one of those strange title switches.

WHEN IT COMES CRASHING DOWN AND IT HURTS INSIDE!

FYI for those that don't know, this is referencing Hulk Hogan. Those are the opening lyrics to his entrance theme.

He was fired in disgrace from WWE when a tape of him making inflammatory, racist statements and using ethnic slurs surfaced during his court trial against Gawker.

 

[Foggy]

If the plan was to bring her up to the main roster this week and then strip her of the title the same way they did with Paige, then this injury gives them an alternative excuse even if they don't bring her up until she recovers.

That's what I'm saying.

That's fine, I don't care about the "can", I care about the "should".

 

[Dark Ninja]

Its a work guys. Your getting worked. Don't get worked.

Spoiler

;_;

 

[SallyIsNow]

Who got fired for this?

 

[serenewarfare]

That's fine, I don't care about the "can", I care about the "should".

If you care about the should, we're talking about the wrong company because they never do what they should.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Glad I kickstarted Shenmue III.

>_>

<_<

Looks as good as a Baron Corbin match/promo/tweet/anything he does

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

any chance paige returns tonight? or is she not cleared yet?

i'd like something fresh in the raw women's scene that isn't alexa or nia to fight sasha

Going by the last pictures of her, I can't imagine her suddenly being in ring shape

 

[Foggy]

Well yeah, that's the general thrust of these conversations. Discussing what's wrong and how simple it would be to do right. It never gets old because they find new and surprising ways to cock things up.

Word was that her WWE examination wasn't until the end of the month.

So I guess it's technically possible, but unlikely.

The problem is that the solution here is the simplest. Never bring her or anyone else up ever again.

[Menome]

My gimmick is being WrassleGAF's best poster.

Oi chips and crisps get to me flat and watch marry poppins harry potter on the ole telly. Tea and biscuits.

Making fun of Menome smh

I don't like Harry Potter and I don't like tea. Otherwise, spot on.

Who is that and what did he break?

 

[half a moon]

1 hour you guise

 

[Beefy]

1 hour you guise

Is tonight the night?

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

just a five minute promo from enzo usually annoys the fuck out of me, no wonder he has heat backstage for being a bragging nuisance

 

[SilentMike03]

In kayfabe this makes Asuka even more of a monster, right? Beat Ember Moon with a broken collarbone.

 

[half a moon]

Sho is beef cake

 

[SallyIsNow]

This is the funniest thing I've seen all day.
Fucking dying lol

 

[serenewarfare]

Also helps Ember in a way IMO. Didn't beat Asuka, but took a piece out of her, which no one else has done.

 

[RecRoulette]

Work.

 

[serenewarfare]

No Mercy is in 5 weeks, FWIW.

And people are crazy if they think WWE isn't going to bring him back at some point.

Damn

I do not think being sloppy is a selling point.

 

[somedevil]

Work.

Could be they did that with Braun:

This allows them to take the belt from Asuka without her losing, it makes too much sense (and the alternative is too damn depressing)

 

[bean breath]

I took it from the all caps formatting that you feel enough time hasn't passed for Hogan to come out and humble himself before the Universe.

I think it's important to keep in mind that it was Terry Bollea that made those comments, not Hulk Hogan.

 

[serenewarfare]

lol

Shit happens in a wrestling ring, man. Ember has exactly zero history of hurting people (other than her just taking a bad bump). If that's being sloppy, then what do you call Naito botching a piledriver off of a table?

Then she can go to raw to do job for Nai!!!

Wtf.

Asuka knocked out Emma at a random house show. Shit happens.

You seriously are the only person left that does not know that it was set up that way.
It was obvious. Meltzer even covered it.
They MOVED THE FUCKING RAIL before the spot, Kenny even adjusted it to make sure.
You seriously did not know this?

 

[half a moon]

I wish Asuka was showing up tonight.

 

[RecRoulette]

If Asuka really is injured, would be pretty crazy considering Asuka injured Ember (for real) awhile ago.

Maybe Ember went into business for herself.

It wasn't a set up, it was a botch, big Dave cover it.

Meltzer said the following day that IT WAS NOT A WORK. He had that confirmed to him first-hand.

The post spot was a work. The piledriver was a botch.

What? Meltzer said it was a botch. Young Buck probably told him.

Naito slipped on the cloth. I wouldn't call that sloppy though, just an accident.

 

[Beefy]

Meltzer said Zach was a botch

 

[SallyIsNow]

Solid is just a hard liquid

Meltzer said Zach was a botch

Didn't need Meltzer to tell me that.
