The Dart Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 PWInsider: Â "Nikki Bella is slated to undergo an MRI this week to determine whether she will be cleared to return to the ring following neck surgery." Â Â I'm sure it's gonna be Bayley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clint Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Battleground is expected to run almost 4 hours long just like MITB. It looks like all PPVs are going to run longer than the original 3 hours from now on. There's already word going around that SummerSlam could be a 5 hour event just like Mania 32.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 21, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hang on, Mania a 5 hour event? Are you including the kick-off show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clint Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Nope Mania 32 ran for 4hours 50 mins. Add the kick off and it ran for 6 hours 50 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I have this horrible feeling that both Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollings will pin Roman Reigns (punishment for the drugs innit) or something to set up a scenario where both Raw & Smackdown has won the title and then we end up with another world title belt.  Hopefully I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Hopefully I am wrong. Yeah I can totally see a double pin situation otherwise how on earth can they justify introducing a second world title ? It seems pretty obvious but hopefully they have something creative up their sleeves (LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Not having a champion on your show is pretty good justification for introducing a new title. Â No need to over think it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Said this in the NXT thread but I'd love if Reigns won, turning heel after interference from the Authors of Pain. Cue BIG MEN CAM'T WRESTLE VINCE OUT OF TOUCH BLA BLA STEROIDS outrage from Rollins' not so smart fanbase. The three would look badass together too.

King Pitcos Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I've got a suspicion Reigns will be defending the belt against Strowman on a PPV before the end of the year. He'll still be Raw's top babyface in the meantime -- he's Raw's only top babyface other than Brock Lesnar, who is feuding with either nobody or a SmackDown guy. A double turn with Rollins does seem like a way to squeeze some juice out of the feud though, so it's probably not out of the question. Â Is Brock booked/likely to turn up during the Highlight Reel on this show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Depends if they want to subtly keep him off screen till nearer SummerSlam so that, if pressed, they can call it a 30-day suspension for PR purposes. Â Anyway, I just came in here to say I hope Battleground is better than Overload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUM Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Nope Mania 32 ran for 4hours 50 mins. Add the kick off and it ran for 6 hours 50 mins. And it was way too long. We watched it in a club that was showing it and left just as the main event was starting to watch the rest in the house because we were so knackered.

Slapnuts Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Nope Mania 32 ran for 4hours 50 mins. Add the kick off and it ran for 6 hours 50 mins.  Fucking hell, having not watched it all together like that, I hadn't truly appreciated that. That's the true definition of overload right there! That's more than a quarter of your day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DraxSpago Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Have they done a post show on a Mania since 2000? Always thought that gave the show an even bigger feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 They definitely did one on WrestleMania 29. Possibly 30 too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
