Callum1993 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Didn’t Corbin and Elias have a match on Raw a couple of weeks ago where Corbin won as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm half expecting Lashley v Elias for the I title at Mania, they've heard the reactions to Elias enough to turn him, hopefully it doesn't grind to a standstill. Except it will. Surely Kevin Owens is coming for Lashley at mania? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense if he's fit in time. So, two question marks. The "fit" and the "makes sense." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No particular "face turn" just point Joe at Bryan and the fans will cheer anyway because that's felt like like it's coming for Joe anyway. I’d love to see them go with Joe/Bryan. For some reason I’d not even considered that match as an option, but it’s a great shout! I wouldn’t be opposed to Braun/Cena either. Even if it involved him turning again, he’s so cold right now that it probably doesn’t matter. Edited January 22, 2019 by RedRooster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted January 22, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 22, 2019 I'd run with this for Mania. Ronda VS Becky Lesnar VS Rollins (U title) Bryan VS Joe (WWE title) Cena VS Braun Styles VS Balor Lashley VS Elias (I title) Charlotte VS Asuka first womens tag champions who are heels VS Sasha & Bayley The rest you can throw together.

You crown babyfaces as the first champions then get them booed to hell by putting them in there with the two most popular women in company history?

Can't see it beyond the realms of possibility. The legend/nostalgia criteria is going to need meeting, that will that box.

JimboDangerous Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) The only heel team (I can think of) on either brand are the Iconics, and a win over Trish and Lita would give both the team and the belts a great push. Is that a Wrestlemania worthy match though? Edited January 22, 2019 by JimboDangerous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember them being as bad in Nxt but I only catch the odd episode of tv and the Takeovers and think they only appeared in one which was a 3 or 4 way for the title  If you were going for a heel team to be tag champions then you'd go Riot squad surely Edited January 22, 2019 by Kamaras-Tash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WeeAl Posted January 22, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 22, 2019 That Raw left me in more doubt the direction I thought things were heading toward at 'Mania than I had going in. Vince buried Finn so much when he was out there if he were facing anyone else, I would say he's definitely going over on Sunday. Against Brock though? I didn't expect Brock to be losing the belt before WrestleMania, but Jesus if Finn doesn't win then they better plan for a damn impressive way for him to lose, as he's going to look a total chump after that dressing down. For what it's worth, I don't think he should win either. Brock's the star, and the belt should be on the biggest star, his main rival or the man that is planned to usurp him as the next top guy. That isn't Balor. Seth Rollins is bound to win the Rumble if Lesnar is champion, and then you give him the big win and a run into the summer to see what he's got as a top baby. If it doesn't work then he's had his shot as a face and a heel and it won't have fared out. If it goes down well, then you've got your next AJ Styles/Daniel Bryan level main eventer. If Balor wins at the Rumble though, fuck knows what happens every week between now and April, as I feel that would throw everything up in the air. Perhaps Balor wins it and then loses it back to Brock on a PPV between now and Mania, just to throw a bit of a spanner in the works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Vince's go-to for smaller guys has historically always been "I want to see you fight up, pal! Be a pit bull!" so his dressing down I assume was - in his mind - the biggest favour he could give to Balor to prepare him for the big win on Sunday. Hotshotting the belt on to him would also neatly tie in to their current short term "we've made some changes!" proclamations so yeah. I'm going with Balor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
