GOD'S FAVORITE CHAMPION

Remember when Cena’s open challenge was the best part of Raw for the whole of spring/summer 2015 and then he lost to loving Alberto del Rio?

Remember when every 0 heat milquetoast IC/US champ since then has tried to mimic the Weekly Open Challenge gimmick? Oh man Bobby Roode's US open challenges.... I loved when he beat Mojo in the semi finals of a tourney then his first open challenge on the preshow of the royal rumble was Mojo. 8 months later he's feuding with Mojo in a non PPV feud. At least Rollins open challenges have been great.

They did it with AJ and completely botched it because he never had an actually decent length match.

The reason none of the open challenges work is because only Cena is allowed to start them with "You want some? Come, get some!"

Out here, everything hurts.




I'm seriously so sad for Steen right now.

I mean, he murdered himself getting Braun over. Just absolute insane 'Kevin you have a loving kid, don't do it' bumps. And it gets blown in one night like a drizzling poo poo, like half an hour before he pulls what looks like a fairly transparent bit of time off then move to Smackdown to get him away from being a threat to Roman's glory.

At least he's getting fat paid, because it's got to suck to know you can do so much better.

Really heel

:psyduck:

I was at the MCG on the weekend and, of course, they’re advertising this show there.

Why can’t WWE be good when they’re putting on the most spectacular wrestling show my city has ever seen? I just can’t build up any enthusiasm towards seeing this.

I wouldn't be shocked if Vince thinks Charlotte should be the female face of the company now. I can easily see her getting the Roman Reigns treatment from a push perspective. Unfortunately, there is no midcard title for the women to feud over, so everyone else has to languish/play second fiddle to Charlotte (or Ronda on RAW).

Y'know, looking on the bright side from a match quality standpoint we should get some bomb-rear end pairings outta this if literally nothing else.

I think there were very few of us who thought he'd actually win his cash in. I think it's more or less set-in stone now.

Then again, WWE flips booking and long-term decisions on the whims of a deranged businessman.

I'm just glad Drew is getting some main event attention after his trudging past with WWE, you go Drew.

Braun will win the title at Hell in a Cell just to drop the more important title (the title he won from the Greatest Royal Rumble) at the upcoming Saudi Arabia show in November to Roman Reigns.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

Yeah but the face GM has the briefcase so that can't happen.

Wait I mean the heel GM has the briefcase... but he's got no problem with Roman.

Wait he actually really dislikes Roman and has a history of enjoying loving people over.

She's not already? She's a seven time champion and the first woman to hold the modern women's championship, she won the first main roster women's hell and and cell and ironman matches, she ended Nikki Bella's record breaking title reign, she ended Asuka's streak. I'd be shocked if she didn't win next years rumble.

The answer of course will be a no contest in a Hell in a Cell caused after both competitors do some contrived spot that results in them both being stretchered out. IE the Cena/Ryback Last Man Standing finish.
