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





This is the only match so far. It was announced in a backstage segment tonight on SMACKDOWN! Orton has not been on TV all year. I don't even know if he's 100% right now.

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



The WWE Draft is coming back on July 19th. Nothing is really happening until July 19th. Until July 19th - this will be the official WWE Discussion Thread. Do not post another one.

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

WWE RAW

The interesting stuff:

Darren Young won a 17-man battle royal to become the #1 contender for the Intercontinental Championship.

Sheamus defeated Zack Ryder in less than 3 minutes, then Rusev came out and accepted Ryders challenge for the US Title.

THE ROLLINS REPORT was a thing that happened with special guest Roman Reigns. It was basically this. Afterwards Dean Ambrose came out, and the basic gist of this is we get Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins in a singles match for the WWE Championship next week.

Kevin Owens defeated Cesaro - Owens used a TKO for the finish. Before the match Zayn was thrown out to the back from ringside. Zayn came back after the match and attacked Owens.

WWE did a TNA FINAL DELETION segment without any of the comedy charm and much more nauseating camera angles. They beat each other up.

Enzo & Cass defeated Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows via DQ when AJ attacked Enzo.

Sasha Banks beat Dana Brooke.

The McMahons came out at the end of the show and talked for 10-15 minutes.

Stephanie McMahon runs RAW!
Shane McMahon runs SmackDown!
Vince wants them to COMPETE!!!!!!!!!!

Steph smacked Shane and he no sold it. Shane gave her a kiss on the cheek. Steph nearly tripped on her way out of the ring and she walked to the back. The show ended with Shane thanking the great fans of Detroit.

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

This week on SmackDown!

Jericho hosts the Highlight Reel with Randy Orton

Dana Brooke vs. Sasha Banks again - if Sasha wins she gets a title shot.

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




THE CRUISERWEIGHT CLASSIC IS HAPPENING!

We will have a spoiler free thread here!

If you don't want to click but want to make picks, make your picks here!

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

TOPICS TO DISCUSS

Who the gently caress pied Kevin Owens?
Will Zack Ryder continue to win matches next week?
Randy Orton is returning when he probably isn't even cleared. This will end well.
Matches??? idk.

THINGS TO NOT POST ABOUT
the last thread
wrestling journalism controversy (that poo poo belongs in the F4W/WO thread)

You guys can probably still support cletus at fourdown.org!!! It's still around :aaa:

Whatever else happens, I just want Breezango and Enzo/Cass to stay together. If they do those two things I don't care who lands where.

Agree, that OP is cool and good, nice job Matt.

Here are several WWE-related things I also consider cool and good:

-Dean Ambrose
-Seth Rollins
-Kevin Owens
-Sami Zayn
-Cesaro
-The New Day
-The top matches for the Battleground card
-Sasha Banks
-"Big Momma Pump" Dana Brooke

This is by no means an exhaustive list, for many things in WWE right now are cool and good. Far more than what is uncool and bad in my personal estimation. :)

Orton vs Lesnar is a wild card of a match. Both guys are really good when they feel like it, but both are pretty boring when they're phoning it in, which is half the time for them. I think Orton will want to give 100% to this match, since it's so high-profile and he's just coming back, but who knows if Lesnar will care.

I can't believe they announced a match for Lesnar before his fight tomorrow. They can't even guarantee he'll be able to do a match. I also can't expect it to be a good match. I've watched a few matches of his recently and holy poo poo he can be the most boring guy ever when he doesn't want to try.

Orton vs Lesnar feels so weird, the way they announced it on Smackdown in a "taped" segment almost made it feel like they have zero faith in it getting any kind of reaction from the crowd.

They'll wheel his concussed carcass out and he'll take an RKO while seated in the chair if they have to

just lol if they have the Brock rub go to Orton of all people. Prime already over, bones already whittled away to dust, has maybe 2 years left before what remains of his body shuts down mid-bump

Orton isn't taking Brock's rub away from Roman, so no worries there.

I do like that the only person he ever seems to offer any respect to is HHH. He did to Stephanie as well right up to the moment she didn't give him what he wanted and he instantly cuts to,"Hey your husband is a big fan of mine... :mad:" :laugh:

I am the sexiest poster in the world!
I'd absolutely watch John Cena be roasted, although I don't think they'd have the comedy talent or willingness to go over the line that make for good roasts. Q&A's can be fun, attitude era legends house is fine because I want old attitude people to get paid and it's not like I watched the current legends house. A premise as vague as game show could be anything, even a game show!

The rest sounds pretty lame to me.

Honestly, if you read the description, WWE Kids sounds fantastic

I'd probably also watch Bubba and Dreamer eating and that 3rd Wheel show

And Miz and Maryse :getin:
