Paid Members Statto Posted January 13, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 13, 2019 IIRC, Rollins namechecked The Revival as guys who has been screwed over during that promo on Corbin the week before Vince et al came back. I'd not be surprised at all if a face turn is imminent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 15, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 15, 2019 Hurray for Finn. Rumble just got 1000% more interesting. He won't win but it should be brilliant. Fucking Lashley as IC champ, eh? The bits I've seen, Lio Rush has been entertaining but he's not a miracle worker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted January 15, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 15, 2019 I realise we're supposed to suspend reality when it comes to backstage segments but the whole Alexa Bliss being walked in on when changing wasĀ A) completely random and non sensical to anything they're doingĀ AndĀ B) Hilarious that she kicks the assistant out in disgust but is happy to have a cameraman feeding to a live audience and television viewers remain filming Whole segment especially as a feed in to the women's revolution further catching up with the new titles was just absolutely weird, I imagine Vince was cackling with laughter somewhere and planning to bring the coffee next week.

If he does, I reckon we'll get Balor as the Demon, which will be pretty telling on the result. If he is going up against Lesnar as plain old Finn I suspect he's getting suplex-fucked.

Heās a work horse. NXT UK Takeover, then 48 hours later 2 matches on Raw. Deserved winner for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted January 15, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 15, 2019 Finn knowing ahead of time he needs to summon something else to beat Lesnar given the fact they have one show to build to it would make for a great "Demon vs Beast" tagline for the event. If Lesnar keeps throwing everything at him but he keeps coming back. I'd actually like Rollins vs Balor at Mania. Would tie together the last few years of the Universal Championship as they potentially finally build for life without Lesnar. Leaves Cena to face Bryan for the record.

Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted January 15, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 15, 2019 Any guesses as to why Strowman/Lesnar has been pulled? I'm not sure if it's was ever official, but it seemed the path they were going down.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he ripped a door off a limo and tipped it over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Nick James Posted January 15, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 15, 2019 As an aside to the strange Alexa Bliss backstage segment, what the hell was all that about with Otis? Are they playing him as a Festus type character? Was a very awkward segment to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It IS time that Elias starts his inexorable walk towards becoming the next Rock and a couple of years as I champion would be lovely. Since he's been squabbling with Lashley lately I wonder if this will be the transition? Stupid hierarchy bullshit means Ambrose straight to Elias might have made Dean look weaker for the eventual big loss to Seth. Or Elias going over a tank like Lashley is the way to go rather than Ambrose who he is bigger/stronger than. I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSF Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I'm now hoping for a Strowman Rumble win. Brock vs Braun at Mania inĀ the big guy match for the Universal Title and Bryan defending the WWE titleĀ against whomever in the work rate match would suit me. Brock vs Rollins doesn't do much for me, I'm sure it will be good, just not exciting enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItĀ couldĀ be good, but it's just as likely to be suplex-suplex-suplex-F5-F5-pin. If it's the former, Lesnar vs Rollins would be my first choice match of the possible options - the first two Lesnar-Strowmans have soured me on seeing a third.
