Just finished the Cena/Miz segment.

Awesome stuff from both.

 

[Beefy]

Ambrose opening the preshow vs Baron Corbin I guarantee.

With a Corbin win.

WM is going to be like 6-7hrs long with the pre-show...

 

[Barrage]

They really shoulda just kept the IC title on Miz. Not every title needs to be defended at Mania.

 

[Professor Beef]

What?

What defenses did he have before he filmed the marine and didn't defend it further?

 

[Hidden One]

I seen Beckys white panties >_>

 

[Dark Ninja]

Miz was doing great things for the IC title

Yeah Miz is above it now. The "midcard" titles hold you back for over a decade now in WWE. Ambrose dropped from "Main Eventing" for the WWE Title to the IC title. Thank Austin for exposing Ambrose.

 

[Beefy]

Lol cheap roll up pin.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Here comes Bliss.

 

[Rimfya]

It's great they give the women so much time, but they need more women.

 

[GunBR]

Yep.

Ambrose squashed Miz in that match and he did it easily. Even funnier, Ambrose beat him in the rematches.

Card-wise Ambrose is regularly beating guys like Styles, Miz and Corbin on house shows. He's the strongest booked guy on SD. He just holds the IC title.

But Miz is supposed to be the weak heel that only wins cheating
It was the same thing during the feud against Ziggler or Crews

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Yeah Becky vs Alexa vs Mickie WM match.

 

[newdayrocks]

Do any of you have conversations with your friends where you talk without interrupting for minutes at a time?

I imagine lots of folks on GAF absolutely do.

 

[The Strokes]

What defenses did he have before he filmed the marine and didn't defend it further?

I don't know when he filmed that shit but Miz was one of the guys that more consistently put his title on the line.

 

[somedevil]

It's great they give the women so much time, but they need more women.

They are signing a lot more. They basically signed all the good talent out of Australia.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Well that was a thing.

Guess set up a Bliss vs James mini feud?

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

But Miz is supposed to be the weak heel that only wins cheating

True but Ambrose in that match was bullshit. Guy took a hit from the belt and bounced back immediately like his old friend Roman.

 

[Beefy]

It's great they give the women so much time, but they need more women.

Yeah badly. You see the same women time after time.

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


Luke is great!

 

[Hidden One]

Nice transition

 

[Bluekaveli]

Mickey 😔

 

[ratcliffja]

I hope that "good talent" doesn't include the two NXT women. They're awful.

 

[cordy]

The difference is Miz's cheap tactics didn't work on Ambrose and they made it seem as though even with the cheap tactics, Ambrose did it easily. Doesn't matter how weak Miz is, Ambrose is booked ridiculously strong.

Styles has never beaten Ambrose clean (unless it's a triple threat where Ambrose isn't pinned). Ambrose's last clean loss was against Lesnar. It's no surprise he'd squash guys like Miz. He's just not on his level from a booking perspective.

 

[Rimfya]

Not sure if it's just cringe because I'm Australian, but Billie Kay and Payton Royce are _terrible_

 

[excelsiorlef]

Wyatt looks so good with the title. Dude deserves a Mania win.

Also Dean used to take harder offense than that before wwe. Kayfabe speak

 

[Toki767]

What does Bray's side plates look like anyway?

 

[The Strokes]

Royce will be really good in time.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Kay and Royce feel like old hat, its the same female heel gimmick we've seen a bazillion times before. They did the duo thing well at the last takeover though, room for improvement.

And I know this is an odd personal gripe but I feel like Kay basically uses Homer Simpson's makeup shotgun before she heads out and its incredibly distracting to me, I'm sure she'd look just fine with less.

 

[Brinbe]

Pretty damn good promo

 

[cordy]

Also Dean used to take harder offense than that before wwe. Kayfabe speak

Yep.

Guys are quick to underestimate Ambrose but they need to look at the fact that he's booked as the strongest kayfabe guy on SD. The guy beat Rollins and Reigns in the same match, pinned Cena in a few minutes, Styles never beat him clean and Ambrose regularly beats Styles to this day in house shows, even with this Corbin feud mind you Ambrose has only lost the EC and other matches due to BS. IC or not, Ambrose is being booked ridiculously strong. Doesn't matter what title you hold if you never lose matches clean.

 

[Brian_FETO]

And you geeks say Alexa isn't good on the mic

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Oh boy.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

i feel like natalya's gonna suck now that she isn't shooting anymore

 

[Rimfya]

Can we have a minute for one second?

 

[Hidden One]

I like the new Nattie

 

[blackaroni]

That was some laugh...

 

[somedevil]

Not sure if it's just cringe because I'm Australian, but Billie Kay and Payton Royce are _terrible_

They signed Evie and Demi Bennett and one other.

Plus I don't think they are terrible. They have characters which is big thing to have.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I wonder what product AJ uses for his hair.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Bow down to the Queen of Smackdown

Alexa Bliss.

Putting Nattie with Bliss could work too.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

And you geeks say Alexa isn't good on the mic

She's good but she's overrated at times still.

 

[ShaggsMagoo]

Have they even showed a replay of the battle royal ending yet?

 

[Bizazedo]

Natalya not "Boop!" 'ng is messing with me.

 

[Brinbe]

Pls let them go for a while. This should be a great match

 

[The Strokes]

This is not the main event?

 

[Bluekaveli]

Yep.

Dean will have his moment in the sun again. Just know he's the only face to keep his heat

 

[Beefy]

Please get rid of the wood.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Lmao is the chairs match main eventing

 

[HashtagLapsed]

The fuck is the main event then.

 

[somedevil]

This is not the main event?

The Bray Promo is the main event.

 

[cordy]

Dean will have his moment in the sun again. Just know he's the only face to keep his heat

Yep. Definitely agree.

 

[Toki767]

The fuck is the main event then.

Probably Orton RKOing Bray?
