tbh I'm just bummed out by the idea of Ambrose potentially being an extremely hot babyface coming off of a long layoff and Rollins being the hottest he's ever been in his career and both of them just becoming tag team guys again because WWE just has never wanted to seriously push either one of them except for the couple times circumstances forced them to give them the belt for a little while.

But, whatever, WWE ultimately sees Rollins and Ambrose as a means to get Roman over and little else, so it doesn't make a big difference one way or the other if they're in a tag team or if they're in The Shield Part 3: Featuring Roman Reigns And His Friends.

I actually don't see it that way at all. But I'll effortpost it about it later if/when the Ambrose return is official.

Roman Reigns will have a promo interrupted by Paul Heyman. Brock Lesnar will attack Reigns after Heyman sprays him with pepper spray. It was all a ruse for Heyman and Lesnar.

How will the Big Dog overcome the odds of having to deal with both Brock AND Paul at Summerslam? Find out at Summerslam ooooooooooohahhhhhhhhhhhh

Yeah, seems ghoulish to say it, but a clean break heals a lot better than more knee troubles.

Posting this in the spoilers thread just to be safe, but Dave is heavily implying in the latest newsletter that WWE is likely doing the 4HW vs 4HW stuff at either Evolution or Survivor Series this year. Going as far to say as teasers are starting to be sent out/worked on.

Also worth noting that he pointed out that backstage officials feel like most of the UFC 4HW seem to be ready to do the match. They feel like Ronda is great when the match is laid out, Shayna is well...Shayna, Jessamin got a lot of positive feedback for her debut, and apparently Marina is getting very positive reviews when it comes to her training.

I feel like if they are going to be building up to it soon, Takeover: Brooklyn or Evolution will be Shayna's swan song to NXT.

Doing that at Evolution is a mistake, because Evolution should be main evented by Ronda as a champion, not in some eight-man tag. Survivor Series is better. I mean, I'm sure you can bullshit a way to get Sasha and Bayley to SmackDown by then and run it as a Raw vs. SmackDown match.

I thought Marina was the one who's done a couple of matches on the Florida shows and Jessamyn is the one that they're really high on and think is gonna be the best of the four in-ring, but hasn't actually worked in front of people yet?

And SurSer makes more sense. You can run an angle for it at Evolution, like maybe Bayley and Sasha come to run off some heels from Ronda, and then Charlotte comes out for a big curtain call moment with the two champs... only to do the classic Horsemen-style beatdown on Ronda with Bayley and Sasha joining in.

You could have Ronda with her title match and then make it 3 vs 3 for the other horsewomen or whatever.

You probably wouldn't need to bullshit it, to be honest. Just make Sasha and Bayley (or Charlotte/Becky) the Women's Tag Champs, and have the titles float between Smackdown and RAW.

Nowhere did Darkstar say it's supposed to be a Survivor Series match. Just that it may be at Survivor Series.

Makes sense to do it elimination-style, though; if Jessamyn/Marina aren't ready you can get them in to do whatever they're comfortable with, however much that is, & then do a gently caress finish double countout to get them out of there.

Unless they're going to strap the rocket to Shayna as queen heel & have her refuse to tag out of the match so Ronda can't get in & build to Shayna/Ronda...

Well that's an easy fix, have Ronda lose on Sunday!

Will respect HIPPA, her privacy and stuff.

But Tegan Nox/Nixon Newell's knee injury is the worst I've ever heard in any sport. Will be a complete miracle if she ever wrestles again.

Don't expect any of her MYC injury match to be shown. They will just skip over it and explain it.

so Charlotte's the Misawa, Sasha's the Kobashi, Alexa's the Akiyama and Becky/Bayley are the Holy Demon Army (and the one who's dropped is Taue)? Sounds about right.

(actually tbh a Becky/Bayley tag title run would loving rule, so that's why they'll never do it)
