Announced for Raw:

quote:

WWE United States champion Dean Ambrose will defend his championship in a 20 Man Battle Royal during tonight's Raw broadcast from Albany, NY. The storyline is that The Authority is forcing him into a situation where he's very much against the odds.

Adam Rose will be tossed out, caught by his groupies, and crowdsurfed back into the ring where he gets the final elimination for the win :colbert:

I don't see how they can not do this spot, unless they save it for the Rumble.

This would be a real easy way to transition the title to Rose without having a heel transitional champion.

I could see the Authority putting Rollins and Reigns in there in an attempt to cause dissension amongst the group.

Sure, why not. Ambrose doesn't need it, it's just a prop for him at this point.

I think he'll retain, but he's had it for a long time so they might move it on. Who knows. Maybe give it to Cesaro or someone.

Having the authority try to take away ambrose's belt out of spite is doing more to elevate it than the entire rest of his reign combined so they should keep doing this. Not quite sure Howe they plan to escalate from a battle royal though. Gauntlet match vs the whole heel roster?


E: triple threat with Rollins/reigns if the authority want to get real tricky maybe

This is why I feel like Ambrose will still somehow retain. I guess if they do something like that it doesn't need to be for the title but it would make sense.

Also wasn't there a story of Bubba Ray going up to Vince with Devon, E&C, and the Hardys behind him and telling Vince they deserved a bigger payday for a TLC match on a PPV? Sounds like collective bargaining to me :siren:

This is a great way to give the title to a new heel like Bo Dallas given his gimmick without making Ambrose look weak, it would make no sense to keep it on him.

With the way those guys did TLC matches, that's basically just asking for hazard pay.

Bo Dallas' character is basically tailor-made for winning a title right out of the gate, which is why I kind of hate that Paige literally just did that. It would fit Bo so well but feel overdone given the Divas switch.

My first thought when I saw that was a fear that WWE would do similar commercials. The Directv ads are so bad it makes me want to drop the services.

More notes on Raw:

quote:

The Sheild vs. The Wyatts with Evolution as the guest timekeepers are scheduled for tonight's show as the TV main event.

On Batista and Payback:

quote:

If you're following the Batista story, he essentially is staying but not having to lose to Daniel Bryan on 6/1. Payback has been changed to a Shield vs. Evolution rematch and Daniel Bryan vs. Kane in a Buried Alive match.

I like Buried Alive Matches but they're gonna need a gimmick or something for the Shield/Evolution thing.

Ugh, I'm glad he's staying, but I'd much rather see Bryan vs. Batista then Bryan vs. Kane in a gimmick match two months in a row. I defended it the first time due to Kane and Bryan's past, but they really shouldn't tie up Bryan with Kane any further.

It also seems like all three of the big matches from Extreme Rules will be repeated for Payback, and there's only one of those I'd ever want to see again.
