So that was Ronda's first WWE loss. I mean she's still unpinned and hasn't submitted but still. Regardless, I think it confirms Sasha is losing on Sunday, along with Becky likely losing as well. Not that it should be a surprise, since I think the only title changing hands is probably the Smackdown Tag Titles.

Yeah I figure Ronda winning is near to a lock. Not really sure what will happen with Smackdown, but I'm certainly largely hoping for a Ronda/Becky match at Wrestlemania. I didn't think that Raw was too bad, just way, way, waaaay too long.

People thought there was any chance of Sasha winning?

A question, a very basic question. So the Elias/Corbin segment happens, where Corbin is shown to be powerless and is humiliated by the Face. They then have a match where he beats up the Face. Why did they need the match? Why not just leave it as Corbin getting silenced and running off scared of getting hit by a guitar?

Aphrodite posted:People thought there was any chance of Sasha winning? Yes. There is a fan theory going around that Becky or Charlotte would screw Ronda out of the title (because of TLC), and that Ronda would win the Rumble and jump ship to Smackdown to feud for the Smackdown Women's Title (Which Becky would win back from Asuka). Yes. Its an actual theory that was gaining traction for awhile. Please disregard the fact that Smackdown has only main evented Wrestlemania twice, and its pretty apparent Vince absolutely loving hates Smackdown, if Survivor Series was any indication. There's also a title unification theory going around, but I don't see that one happening simply because FOX wants their own roster and their own titles. I don't see any value in merging the women's singles titles, simply because that kills off the vast majority of the division and buries a lot of potentially good talent.

The Finn/Brock/Braun segment was really well booked and did a good job of getting everyone over. Everything else was boring I feel like there are gonna be shenanigans in Finn/Brock on Sunday

How is this going to work with the womens tag titles? The roster is too thin for each brand to have its own set, and based on the setup for the inaugural match it seems like the belts will at least initially be co-branded.

I imagine since its only one title, they likely won't care. But I think they would care about their big singles title showing up on both brands.

I watched the Finn/Braun match on Youtube and it was pretty awesome. They did a good job putting Finn over while still having him run into an F5 at the end, although I'dve had him pin Braun because really, what's it matter if Braun gets pinned at this point. Be pretty cool if Finn wins on Sunday! DarkstarIV posted:Yes. There is a fan theory going around that Becky or Charlotte would screw Ronda out of the title (because of TLC), and that Ronda would win the Rumble and jump ship to Smackdown to feud for the Smackdown Women's Title (Which Becky would win back from Asuka). I can see where this theory comes from in that if FOX said "Hey, we want Ronda Rousey on our show." they would probably do it, but even then it's not like they'd send her over 9 months before they had to.

Yeah. I don't see Ronda moving over to Smackdown until around (or just after) Summerslam or maybe slightly before Evolution (if they do it again this year). I think they'll want to do the MMA 4HW vs WWE 4HW feud this year, and I think Summerslam or Evolution are the best places to do it. And yeah, FOX has stated they want Ronda exclusively for their programming apparently. She was instrumental in getting the FOX deal in the first place. I imagine she'll drop the title to Becky or Charlotte at Wrestlemania, and probably end up taking the SD title from Asuka or something sometime after that.

This entire answer confuses me. Like...how is it hard to understand that Gillette has no desire to market their products to the alt-right/toxic culture? I knew AJ wasn't very bright but still. DarkstarIV fucked around with this message at 06:30 on Jan 22, 2019 |

AJ has been one of my favorite wrestlers for a very long time but like just going on Crowder's show seems like such a deep seeded and multi layered character flaw that I'm just kind of sad now even without hearing all the terrible and stupid and probably occasionally bigoted poo poo he probably said.

I missed RAW but being in the minority of people that like Baron Carbin and dislikes Elias, I liked reading the results.

I love AJ, but going on a clownshow like Crowders is way beneath him. Totally his idea, so gently caress him. Will still love watching his matches though!

What the gently caress AJ! At least Ronda has the loving brains to run from the lovely part of herself as hard and as fast as she can and keep her ignorant mouth shut no matter how bad she wants to vomit bile up. I hope Bryan stiffs his dumb rear end. WWE's corporate edicts are keeping him from actually saying what he's thinking, but only just barely at this point, and appearing on Totally Not Alt Right Youtube says enough by itself. Really disappointing. Anyway, am I crazy, or is the Rumble playing serious second fiddle this year? I feel like all the of the TV has been about the four Title Matches, there's been almost no buildup for potential winners. I guess in a way it's good because they're not telegraphing? With Brock's ongoing Braun plotline and Roman gone, you can see a possibility for Finn winning the belt through screwy means, and AJ v Bryan could certainly go either way. Asuka v Becky is the same way, although nobody is questioning Ronda's win of course. But at the same time... if you leave the field totally open and don't do anything to build anyone up, doesn't that lead to de-facto telegraphing? Who are big enough stars to actually win the Rumble and do a Mania title match, or even conceivably Main Event? Cena, Rollins, Rey, maybe Ambrose and Joe if you stretch the definition far enough given their recent booking? I'd love to believe that a wide open field like this creates a situation where there could be a star-making HUGE UPSET WINNER to do the #2 title match, like a Mustafa Ali or a Drew Mac, but who would actually believe WWE would do something so unexpected? I suppose one also has to consider the tiny possibility WWE wants Ronda to Main Event, presumably against either Becky or Charlotte, but I doubt it.

i dont really care that a wrestler has idiotic political ideas, but its very funny to me that WWE won't let their wrestlers (generally) do interviews with, say dave meltzer, but they're ok with them going on stupid alt-right podcasts.
