Does explain the weird booking on Monday, though, if they were aware something was up.

Also watching because it's free, for better or for worse.
I'm not so sure that the PPV has been so much built towards as it has been lobbed together in the usual WWE fashion.
Though at some point in the last 2 weeks or so Rusev and Henry became a thing that managed to close out both Raw and Smackdown this week for some reason so there's that I guess, there was a lot of patriotic business involved so I lobbed it in the fast forward with pretty much everything else.
Though I do hope Cena/Brock is more like an standard match this time around, while Cena's destruction at SS was incredibly cathartic I don't need to see it again.
Nope, that was just questionable booking. His injury just happened. So he is gone right now for 6 weeks.
They have to be praying Bryan is ready for Survivor Series.
edit: For anyone interested here is the current Favorites according to the betting lines:
Miz
AJ
Goldust and Stardust
Rusev
Orton
Lesnar
Sheamus

I'm not exactly familiar with incarcerated hernia's but they wouldn't have made him wrestle with it on RAW only to withdraw him from the PPV surely?

Thats why he is ready to save the WWE
Ambrose right behind my favorite, Daniel Bryan. Can't wait for his return tonight.
I have a $25 gift card for the WWE Shop that expires on September 30th, and I'm trying to figure out what to spend it on.
I was thinking about using it for the Sting Blu-Ray, but I wanted to get some other suggestions (preferably Blu-Rays since all of the t-shirts, clothing, etc look embarrassing).

Henry closing shows seems interesting. He has the talent to talk up a feud. Is he only given that place due to Brock not contacted for enough shows to hype the main event though - or is that no longer a thing?
I cannot say I am too interested in the match though - as two big guys going one on one rarely work in WWE.
Is there any repappaence of Nation 2.0 yet? Maybe Henry can join when he loses
Fantasy Booking: Angle v Rusev @ Wrestlemania 31 would be awesome! If it was Angle comeback match, and Rusev went unbeaten til then
I think Cena/Brock could be interesting in Cena plays a heel role in the match. He does have to turn heel, but been forced to be the bad guy to get the best of Lesnar might make the match fun.

"I've been sifting through all the great tweets"
Dear lord, I hope he's paid well enough for such torture.

Well, Big Show also said that.
With Bryan still out and now Reings out for a couple of months, I expect some major roster juggling pretty soon. Unfortunately that means Jericho, Show, Henry and Kane will still be wrestling into 2015.
WWE needs to back up a truck full of money to Punks house and beg.

Punk isn't worth the baggage, save us NXT
Jericho is leaving after tonight. Henry, Show and Kane have contracts that go past 2014.
Plus right now Ambrose come back tonight. Bryan is possibility coming back in Nov. Wade is back in December.
Plus Punk does not need money and won't come back for it. It also helps they have like 6 guys in NXT that is main roster ready.
if only WWE had some kind of youngster show with a great roster to feed Raw with superstars...
or maybe some kind of great mid card roster waiting for a push
haha what am I saying, give the belt to Cena
Cue HHH desperately trying to keep his talent away from Vince & Dunne.
This is why they should've handed Batista the title after Bryan was injured in May.
He goes part-time after to generate even more heat until GOTG promotions are done, only appearing for PPVs like MITB, Battleground and Summerslam. Maybe on one Raw between those PPVs. Then carries on carrying the company on his back until Bryan returns and they set up their match for Wrestlemania 31.
Brotista would do it. And in the process hopefully eliminate Cena, Big Slow and McBane.

Yeah, he lost the title clean to a mercenary that wrestles for money. A man who had, at the time, participated in a grand total of one match this year against a man who's here every darn week performing his butt off for the WWE Universe, whether they love him or hate him. He lost the title clean to a man he defeated soundly in 2012, bringing his record against him to 1-1. But don't worry, you'll get want you want tonight. That record will creep up to 2-1 in Brock Lesnar's favor because tonight, John Cena's not interested in beating Brock Lesnar, he's interested in beating Brock Lesnar's a**.
I'll look forward to reading your comments after tonight's match, jack.
It also has a D'Lo quote and Book naming the Dolph/Truth team: Salt and Cracked Black Pepper

Well, now they need Jeff more than Jeff needs them.
The 4 guys in NXT takeover main event are more entertaining than pretty much everyone on the main roster, agreed, but lets be real. They bring up Tyler Breeze now, he's gonna be Rico part two, stylist for the Miz.
Rodeo Clown
All aboard! The Love train!
I'm all for calling up somebody like Tyler Breeze, but only if they have something for him to do. They haven't handled their last few call ups all that well, like Bo and Adam Rose. Although Rose sucks, so that's whatever.
It seems like they knew something was up and were prepared to have him not wrestle Sunday, but that they didn't know it was this bad.

WWE really sucks right now i can't even watch RAW as a background show anymore. Not even Dean Ambrose Diesel theme or those jobbers in NXT can save this company
WWE told Angle to fix his personal life and addictions when they let him go in 2006. He responded by going to TNA and becoming even more fucked up (even with the comparatively lenient schedule)
I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole if I were Vince.

Goldust is in Blackface! Who wants to make the OT thread?
yeah i'm only watching PPVs right now. and the occasional NXT depending on who's on it.
He's not facing anyone today, is he?
I feel like I have a duty to warn his opponent. I don't want to see someone be eaten.
I'm hearing Lets Go Sheamus over here...

We're gonna get a DQ or no contest in Brock/Cena, aren't we?
I can see Cena applying the STFU, Brock gets to the ropes but Cena won't let go, gets DQ'd, then we get "Cena is SRS BUSINESS NOW!" with Brock showing "fear" and the only way to settle this is at Hell in a Cell!

If Strobogo stays quiet about this then he is the biggest hypocrite in this thread after all he's said about Roddy Rowdy Piper, who had the same amount of black paint on his face as Goldust.
