The SD women's division is dead if Carmella beats Asuka clean.

I guess they're never going to put a title on Asuka now because Vince is racist and xenophobic.

Ellsworth was never funny.

ellsworth is cool and good and having a GOOD comedy character jobber is fun and something that has been missing, not his fault they let his run in the Ambrose/Styles feud last too long or thought him taking the briefcase was a good idea

i don't think it would've been as bad if he just interfered to allow carmella to take the thing if that was their plan

It seems like they're bringing him back to try and salvage Carmella's title reign but it won't work. They need to get it off of her already.

I doubt they would bring back Ellsworth just to cause a DQ. I think Carmella will be pinning Asuka.

Still a bit early to tell, but it seems smart money is starting to roll in. Alexa Bliss is the favorite to win the Womens MITB now.

It's either her or Natalya.

Braun Strowman is now the favorite to win the men's money in the bank on some sites like Kambi. He's still an underdog on sites like 5dimes.

I doubt that they'll have one show win both briefcases but who knows.

If they're doing a longer briefcase hold Alexa is like the best choice there because nobody else in that match can talk.

(Except Becky but she speaks some weird foreign language.)

I think if Alexa wins she could cash-in tonight during the Nia/Ronda match.

Couple of updates from 5dimes:

Shinsuke remains at -180
Ronda is now -560 to win the title
Carmella is now -145 (Asuka is at +105 now)
Big rear end is at -210

All of the other results are pretty obvious. Seth winning, Bobby winning, Bludgeon Brothers winning, Roman winning.

So it seems like main roster creative saw Takeover last night and is booking the exact opposite way they should be booking. :allears:

I just hope Asuka doesn't get pinned.

Bad news on that front. Kambi had the match finish fall from +550 to +250. As a result a DQ or Submission finish have dropped to -112. Be prepared for Carmella to pin Asuka. Probably not clean, but still.

In that case the decision to end the streak just seems even stupider. Clean or not, I don't think Carmella should be pinning Asuka.

This is the supposed Summerslam card so far:

Universal Championship: Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns or Bobby Lashley
WWE Championship: AJ Styles (c) vs. Samoa Joe
WWE RAW Women’s Championship: Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Ronda Rousey
John Cena vs. The Undertaker
Sasha Banks vs. Bayley
Daniel Bryan vs. Kane OR Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz

There are a bunch of things still up in the air, I guess.

At this point, I expect them to keep dragging this Bayley/Sasha thing out and never give them a proper PPV singles match.

And please no more Undertaker matches.

Lanza's broken a fair amount of scoops, and Dave and rovert each said weeks ago the plan at that point was Brock winning and Reigns getting the big win over Brock at Mania. This is by no means far-fetched, and it's entirely possible the only thing that changes day of is how much F5s Reigns kicks out of before the one that puts him away

Then they'll delay it to the next WM, then the next one, and the next one etc

Battle Royal winners have been cursed this year. Asuka has been on a downward spiral since WM, Nakamura is stuck in the midcard and doesn't even appear on TV some weeks, Matt Hardy is possibly retired, and Naomi has barely done anything.

Yeah, Starrcade is basically a house show. Absolutely nothing of note happened.


First part I guess was to protect Asuka for now (there was a large amount of backlash online [social media] about Asuka/Charlotte tonight before the match even happened), and the Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose match was for the IC title.

They want to protect Asuka, which is why they're having her lose matches.

It's funny how some people still believe that WWE has anything major planned for Asuka.

It seems like they're never going to do a blow-off to the Nikki/Bianca feud

I am seriously grumpy that (presumably) Kairi's sudden illness is robbing me of getting to see her wrestle live at Takeover and (also presumably) win the title.

That being said Heel Turn Johnny has me very intruiged, because this could mean Velveteen Dream is going to team up with Black. OR A FATAL FOURWAY FOR THE BELT! :O

She probably wasn't going to win the title back.
