I'm willing to bet Nakamura ends up on SD.

Vince does not have this vendetta against SD as most seem to think. In case you don't know, he makes money off of both brands. Raw is already getting a big babyface back in Balor. Makes no sense for Nakmura to have to fight for spotlight. On SD he can have it for himself.

Yeah, Smackdown shouldn't be the redheaded stepchild it was during the first brand split since Raw and Smackdown are now on the same network.

It makes me sad that mania is a nostalgia card every year now. You have your hhh match, your undertaker match, whatever rock and his mates are up to, etc. I get that it's a business that needs to always be profitable but what happens when these old farts get too old to work and they have no main eventers? Mmm.

Yeah still mad that JeriKO isn't for the Raw title.

When HHH says that "NXT is for you" he's serious.

It's just that they won't start WM tomorrow with a voice over "Wrestlemania is for everyone else!"

 

[serenewarfare]

by the next Takeover they could have Adam Cole

Spoiler

Bay Bay

in NXT if he leaves ROH

I would almost guarantee that will happen.

AJ and Nak on the same show would be too good to be true thats why It won't happen.

Nakamura will go to SD. That much I feel confident in saying.. It's possible AJ goes to Raw soon though.

 

[korly]

Bobby Roode is in my top 10 wrestlers from the 80s.

Such a great shit heel.

What?

 

[RecRoulette]

Well, the end of that ROH match.

Spoiler

Hardys don't have the belts anymore, WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THE WWE UNIVERSE MAGGLE

 

[blackaroni]

They need to fire the producer of this show for all of this shitty camera work.

 

[Calderc]

Pretty much. They also restrict wrestlers to the point where they aren't playing to their strengths.

When they are independent they can do stuff that suits them and are allowed to do shit that will actually get them over.

Not everyone can do gold with shitty gimmicks.

Just seems so counter intuitive and dumb.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Roode cant sell to save his life.

 

[serenewarfare]

Would be a mistake. You want those two in a ring to be a once in a lifetime event not a weejly one.

Smackdown would benefit more from him. That's all that matters.

 

[theaffection]

by the next Takeover they could have Adam Cole

Spoiler

Bay Bay

in NXT if he leaves ROH

It would be a crime if Cole doesnt go to the main roster instantly. Guy is way too fucking good to be in NXT

 

[Rockandrollclown]

It's weird NXT normally has solid camera work.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

What?

I think he's implying that Roode feels like an 80s style heel.

 

[Nyteshade517]

I would almost guarantee that will happen.



Nakamura will go to SD. That much I feel confident in saying.. It's possible AJ goes to Raw soon though.

I agree...I think AJ ends up on Raw with either a new Draft or if they do some other type of roster mixing

 

[jurgen]

I'm loving Nigel on commentary. The fact that he is spouting out Regal logic for every move makes me so happy.

I agree...I think AJ ends up on Raw with either a new Draft or if they do some other type of roster mixing

AJ was still fired by Daniel Bryan and is having a match against the Commissioner of SD. That's an easy explanation for him jumping ship.

 

[serenewarfare]

It would be a crime if Cole doesnt go to the main roster instantly. Guy is way too fucking good to be in NXT

If Nakamura isn't too good for NXT, no one is.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Roode is more charisma than ring work but he still puts on solid matches

 

[Syder]

It would be a crime if Cole doesnt go to the main roster instantly. Guy is way too fucking good to be in NXT

There have been a lot of people way too good to be in NXT that stayed in NXT for an extended period of time.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

"Oh, Yeah! I'm hurt. I should grab back of my head."

 

[Sinatar]

RAW will trade Rollins for AJ, that's why both of their mania angles are beef with the management.

 

[cordy]

Roode is pretty much HHH's little brother. He's probably loving everything he sees when he steps to the ring.

 

[Nyteshade517]

It would be a crime if Cole doesnt go to the main roster instantly. Guy is way too fucking good to be in NXT

was just going by the likely scenario WWE would use him for...of course he's good enough for the main roster (so is Nakamura, Roode, Asuka, etc)

 

[excelsiorlef]

It would be a crime if Cole doesnt go to the main roster instantly. Guy is way too fucking good to be in NXT

Cole absolutely should start on NXT.

 

[Toki767]

This might be the first NXT main event where the crowd aren't just chanting things all match long.

 

[Pikma]

This might be the first NXT main event where the crowd aren't just chanting things all match long.

Tag team match drained them

 

[somedevil]

Problem with ROH talent right now is WWE is waiting a long time before signing them due to threats of tampering from ROH.

 

[theaffection]

If Nakamura isn't too good for NXT, no one is.

Nakamura is too good for NXT as well. They have a bad track record of keeping stars over there for too long 😔

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Roode is more charisma than ring work but he still puts on solid matches

Agreed.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Bah gawd that knee has a family!

 

[excelsiorlef]

This might be the first NXT main event where the crowd aren't just chanting things all match long.

That good or bad?

 

[GraveRobberX]

By the by when is Raw/Smackdown draft happening

Doesn't it happen soon after Wrestlemania?

 

[jurgen]

This might be the first NXT main event where the crowd aren't just chanting things all match long.

Thank god. It's bad enough having to see the same six fucking superfans in the front row for every takeover.

 

[Sheentak]

Cole absolutely should start on NXT.

Cole on main roster would get screwed. He needs to build up on nxt.

 

[kiguel182]

Roode is wrestling like HHH.

The pace is a bit slower for me, especially compared to the bangers we had tonight.

 

[serenewarfare]

By the by when is Raw/Smackdown draft happening

Doesn't it happen soon after Wrestlemania?

No one knows. Rumor is that there will at least be some roster moves after WM. Maybe not a full draft, but some movement.

 

[Toki767]

That good or bad?

It's kind of refreshing.

Like...you can tell the crowd is still into the match.

They just want to watch it rather than participate.

 

[GunBR]

By the by when is Raw/Smackdown draft happening

Doesn't it happen soon after Wrestlemania?

Last year was in july, so maybe they will wait a year

 

[Mengetsu]

 

[J-Rzez]

Please let shane come out, cater to AJs ego and say "I'm not on your level, so here's a better challenge for you." Violins play, Nakamura comes out. Wrestlemania redeemed.

 

[Worthintendo]

I keep forgetting that Percy is on commentary

 

[Pikma]

It would be a crime if Cole doesnt go to the main roster instantly. Guy is way too fucking good to be in NXT

Lol and he'll debut to the sound of crickets

NXT is the best chance these guys have to get introduced, Main Roster writers/bookers can't build for shit

 

[excelsiorlef]

Cole on main roster would get screwed. He needs to build up on nxt.

Yep.

And NXT needs fresh blood.


Fucking love this match.


Everything else was crash wrestling.

This is a taste of something else. More old school.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

good match but i think i'm just a bit tired from the past two matches

 

[ReiGun]

By the by when is Raw/Smackdown draft happening

Doesn't it happen soon after Wrestlemania?

If they intend to wait a year, it'll be in July.

There are rumors there might be some roster shakeups after Mania though.

 

[serenewarfare]

Please let shane come out, cater to AJs ego and say "I'm not on your level, so here's a better challenge for you." Violins play, Nakamura comes out. Wrestlemania redeemed.

I'm fairly certain that will happen on Tuesday, after AJ beats Shane. That's why they played the "traditional wrestling match" and "AJ is the best wrestler" stuff up so big on SD this week.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

They need faster pacing or something here. I don't know that these two have any chemistry. Their last match was a bore too.

 

[RBH]

lmao

 

[GraveRobberX]

That reversal holy shit Nakamura

 

[excelsiorlef]

It's kind of refreshing.

Like...you can tell the crowd is still into the match.

They just want to watch it rather than participate.

Ok yeah... cause this is a great match

 

[serenewarfare]

They need faster pacing or something here. I don't know that these two have any chemistry. Their last match was a vote too.

Last two matches were fast. Well, faster.

This is a nice change of pace. It's different.

 

[Heroman]

Cole on main roster would get screwed. He needs to build up on nxt.

No he doesn't. He has been working all over the world.
