When: 24th September at 8PM Eastern and 5PM Pacific
Where: Staples Centre in Los Angeles California
Watch: On Pay Per View and WWE Network

Something something "If you told me Braun Strowman" yadyayadya "You'd call me crazy!"

Preshow Match: Apollo Crews Vs. Elias
It's nice to see the creative team has remembered Apollo exists, all that talent and all the charisma of a wet sock. No one's perfect!

Intercontinental Championship Match: The Miz Vs. Jason Jordan
Second time's the charm for both this match and the attempts to get Kurt Angle's son over. At least the match will probably have some lovely suplexes in it.

Cruiserweight Championship Match: Neville Vs. Enzo Amore
The Cruiserweight title made it to the main card of a PPV! All it took was an annoying motormouth who can't wrestle to do it.

Finn Balor Vs. Bray Wyatt
Special stipulation that Finn can't use facepaint because that's Bray's weakness or whatever. Remember when both of these guys were world champions?

Raw Tag Team Championship Match: Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins Vs. Cesaro & Sheamus
Any bets on if a beachball gets snuck in for this match?

Raw Women's Championship Match: Alexa Bliss Vs. Emma Vs. Bayley Vs. Sasha Banks Vs. Nia Jax
The annual "Let's dump all the women together because we can't plan a basic singles feud for them" match is here, but at least Emma came along for the ride this time.

John Cena Vs. Roman Reigns
The immovable push against the irresistible merch machine. Face of the company against "face of the company". Shoot promos vs tater tots and sufferin' succotash.

Universal Championship Match: Brock Lesnar Vs. Braun Strowman
Legit I really am excited about this. Will Vince keep the part timer starpower go on or is he going to let one of his pet projects get the one up? I really can't tell here. Please do the right choice you crazy old man.

 

[Acorn]

No sympy no buy

 

[imBask]

do yourself a favor and skip this ppv, play the game instead

 

[shwimpy]

excited to watch the main event via streamable.

 

[miserable]

lol @ Braun's face. is he supposed to be menacing/scary? he looks like a kid with beard

 

[Anth0ny]

MAN VS MAN MATCH

 

[Shadow Broker]

The one match I would actually like to see Cena win he's going to lose.

 

[funkystudent]

Shinsuke N64-akamura is ready

 

[Syder]

Did it sell out yet?

 

[UberTag]

The one match I would actually like to see Cena win he's going to lose.

If there's one thing the WWE can be relied upon for it's to never give the fans what they want.
... Except for that one time during WrestleMania 30 when their hand was forced because CM Punk walked out on his contract.

 

[ShadyK54]

Can’t wait to be severely disappointed when Strowman doesn’t win the belt because reasons.

 

[Beefy]

Please Enzo lose. Him winning would be wack.

 

[TimeEffect]

Why does Apollo look so huge lol

Please Enzo lose. Him winning would be wack.

Cedric or Mustafa for champ. Pleaseee.

 

[ZedLeppelin006]

This is the first brand exclusive ppv that actually could be decent, at least on paper.

I'm very curious who's going over between cena & reigns.

Yeah that's actually a pretty good card, and has 3 matches I'm looking forward to in Reigns/Cena, Neville/Enzo and Brock/Strowman.
Finn/Wyatt could probably maybe be a good match, but they've done it to death already.

First time I'll be rooting for Cena in a long time. But it's probably gonna be Roman who will go on to face Brock (who will defeat Braun for that reason) at Mania.

 

[FyreWulff]

... they've already gone back to putting all the women in a tag match for PPVs?

not a tag but 5 way match

 

[Zach]

Dig dig diggity dog.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Socko!

 

[TheSkullPrince]

Only interested in Bork vs Braun and Roman vs Cena.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

Bank holiday in Scotland tomorrow so I can stay up for this one without fear of dying in work.

For that reason alone this will be the PPV of the year!

 

[Indelible]

I think it would be best if Strowman beat the shit out of Brock and won the title. What do they have to lose?, attendance and ratings are already in the toilet.

 

[Zach]

Biggest-Geek-Ever has never let me down.

 

[FyreWulff]

not a tag but 5 way match

That's not that much better

 

[yuraya]

Cena vs Reigns.

Once in a lifetime!

 

[Velcro Fly]

Strowman better win

 

[Steverulez]

Time to take the title from Brock, its been a joke since Wrestlemania, give it to someone whos actually around more than once a month and does some wrestling

 

[Bronx-Man]

Cena vs Reigns.

Once in a lifetime!

Never Before, Never Again

 

[Shauni]

So is that really the story behind the stipulation in the Finn vs Bray match lol

 

[Raw64life]

The OP fails to mention that Finn vs. Wyatt is the first ever man vs. man match. Truly a historic night.

 

[CDiggity]

If I were developing a No Mercy drinking game for tonight, what rules should I use?

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Never Before, Never Again

God willin- I mean, don't you want more "shoot from the hip" promos?

 

[MashKing]

There are many results that could make me happy on this PPV, none of them are going to happen.

 

[UberTag]

I think it would be best if Strowman beat the shit out of Brock and won the title. What do they have to lose?, attendance and ratings are already in the toilet.

Vince loses his dream moment of going to the Brock-Roman well yet again for Mania, having Roman finally best him in one-on-one competition and be coronated as the God King of all wrestlers that fans will now love and revere as he proceeds to break CM Punk's longevity record with the title.

Just think of all of the times Roman will beat Braun like a bitch in title defenses afterwards. Won't it be swell?

If I were developing a No Mercy drinking game for tonight, what rules should I use?

Take a shot whenever Michael Cole delivers a wrestler's promo for them via reciting their tweets instead of a wrestler delivering a promo themselves.
You'll be hammered after 30 minutes and, thankfully, you'll pass out and won't be subjected to watching more of it.

 

[bbd23]

yea...only here for Lesnar/Strowman

 

[atomsk]

BIG POPPA PUMP IS YOUR HOOKUP

 

[JehutyRunner]

Anytime Cole says 'Oh my' = down an entire beer.

How would you feel if I told you for most of the year the title holders for this year have all been Total Divas stars?

Diggidy dog.

 

[JehutyRunner]

Diggidy dog.

There's only been one title holder this year from Total Divas in Alexa Bliss. Everyone else - Charlotte, Bayley and Sasha Banks - isn't on Total Divas.

 

[DMczaf]

I got No Symphy for Zach

 

[Laws00]

this Alundra Blayze/Madusa thing they are showing is pretty good waiting for this PPV to start

And honest to god, i didnt know it was HER that was driving that Madusa monster truck. I always thought it was a dude driving that thing lol

 

[EverydayBeast]

There's 7 months between now and Wrestlemania. Your boy Joe will be back in time to claim.

 

[atomsk]

anytime Booker T goes MMMMMM

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Okay, I edited because I was thinking of post mania.

However Naomi, Bliss and Natalyia all are on the show. As has the current money in the bank holder, Nia who's been pushed all year, and they even gave Lana a huge shot despite clearly not being ready.

Compare it to Sasha and Bayley who've been booked as jokes or Charlotte and Becky who haven't been booked at all. Then again maybe Asuka will show up tonight and prove me wrong, I've got high hopes for her having rooked at how the company has promoted talent recently.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Card looks promising

Anytime booker screws up a sentence take a drink.

You'll be done by the time the first match is finished

I'm tempted to say a drink for every throat straining "SUPERMAN PUNCH" Cole will shout during the Cena/Reigns match.

 

[Chopper]

Genuinely excited for Cena/Reigns and Brock/Strowman results. Or at least, I would be if... Well, you know.
