Paid Members Supremo Posted Monday at 07:49 PM Paid Members Share Posted Monday at 07:49 PM (edited) Down with megathreads! This is a minor pay per view that does deserve its own thread! The product is white hot, you’d think it was mid-February for how over everyone and everything currently is, and they’re putting out what’s got to be one of the best looking B-show cards in recent memory. Get this down your eyes! Belter. Bang up for this. I mentioned it in another thread recently, but they must have something truly special planned for Survivor Series to be able to blow their load with all these matches in early October. Any other time in recent history, there’s no way this much good stuff lands on a B-show! Quick bit of trivia. This is only the fourth, “Bad Blood,” event in WWE history. I had to double check when I heard that, and in doing so I think I discovered the reason; they’ve technically been unable to do another one because that HBK vs. Triple H Hell in a Cell match from Bad Blood 2004 is still going on. Killed the town. Killed the pay per view. Killed the business. Killed space and time. Absolute indulgent, overlong horseshit. Anyway, this card looks mint. Drew vs. Punk should be good. Their feud fell off a cliff once they started actually wrestling each other, and they were badly handicapped by bracelets, Seths and traffic lights in both their previous outings, so you imagine they’ve got a lot to prove here. Go out with a bang. Both of them have pretty much promised double juice. When was the last time that happened in WWE? It’s got to be ages! I saw this fanmade poster online the other day. It’s boss. I smiled during Drew’s promo last week, when he said he never wanted to go back into Hell in a Cell. Who can blame him? I bet he wakes up in a cold sweat, embarrassed about when his bump into a crash pad was so hilariously exposed against Lashley in the Thunderdome. I love the little hand pushing the table back out! Like something you’d see in, “Exposed! Pro Wrestling's Greatest Secrets!” “You didn’t think they really went through tables, did you?” Further evidence that Triple H is subtly winding up CM Punk though. A man notoriously invested in being THE MAIN EVENT, wrestling a HELL IN A CELL match, to conclude his huge blood feud. That’ll go on last Hunter, right? Right?! “Say hello to the Modern Day Mega Powers, Phil!” Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns vs. Solo and Jacob Fatu is everything I possibly could have dreamed of when it first became apparent Roman might return as a babyface. This feels gigantic. Second time this year they’ve made a Tag Match feel like the biggest thing in the world. Funny when you think about it. Remember when AEW was going to, “save Tag Team wrestling”? I’d argue WWE are doing way better at it in recent times. Did you see that Tag Team Casino Gauntlet? Parade of chumps! You assume this goes on last, as it should. Sorry Punk. Sorry Drew. But there’s levels to this game and it don’t get no bigger than this! Cody and Roman. This is it. Everything I watch it for. Absolute magic every time they share the screen. I’ll be on the hook for every single interaction between them. Also can’t wait to see Jacob steal the show. You assume making him a top star is one of the goals here. I suspect he picks up the pin, maybe after Kevin Owens or Randy Orton interfere somehow, costing Cody? Solo will also be there, I guess. I wonder if they even bother doing the Roman vs. Solo singles match. Feels practically pointless. The only thing saving Solo from being the weak link in all this is the existence of Tanga Loa. Damien vs. Finn and Rhea vs. Liv feels like a victory lap for what a humongous succsss the Judgment Day have been. Best new faction in forever. Carried the show as hilarious goofballs, continue to carry the show with these red hot feuds. “The Terror Twins,” is a ridiculously shit name, but who cares. You’d think it was Rock and Stone Cold out there for the reactions they get. Dom in the Shark Cage is absolutely inspired. Can’t wait to see what bullshit he gets up to. Hope they put a camera and mic in the cage. He’s the heel of the year. Even the fucking graphic is amazing! What a guy. Does his Dad proud. Eddie must be smiling down on him. Not really arsed about Nia vs. Bayley. I’m assuming Bayley eats a clean pin before either fucking off to AEW for a much-needed change of scenery, or she eventually turns heel on Naomi. I refuse to believe someone still using that music, and using that obnoxious laugh again, is doing so in an earnest attempt to be a babyface. Weirdly, they’ve announced Bianca and Jade will be the, “hosts,” of this show. Strange thing to do, considering they’ve never had, “hosts,” on a B show before. Can’t for the life of me think of a reason why they’d do that. Definitely won’t have anything to do with the recent chatter on Twitter about Hunter’s product being potentially racist. Supposedly this is the third WWE pay per view in a row to not feature a single black man. And supposedly Triple H has never booked a black man to win a singles match on pay per view since he started running the show. Don’t know how true it is, but supposedly the last black male wrestler to win on pay per view was Lashley against Austin Theory at Summerslam 2022, when Vince was still booking. I’m sure there’s nothing to it though. I’m sure the plan was always to have Bianca and Jade host the show, and this is in no way a panicked reaction to what Hunter’s seen on his socials. And it’s not like he’s got anything to worry about. Nobody would ever think he could be a bit racist. Not this guy. This guy? Not this guy.

DavidB6937 Posted Monday at 08:00 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:00 PM The most interesting thing about Bayley lately is when they gave her the Damage CTRL entrance again by accident. Otherwise she's in desperate need of something. Anything! Nia should crush her and let her have time off. The rest should deliver for sure although I can't help but look right past and onto Survivor Series because I need Roman's buddies all back for Canadian Stampede 2.

In my head, every time she makes an entrance there’s a bunch of people fighting in Gorilla. Those with any taste or business sense are wrestling with the Def Rebel lot to switch the shitty music off and play her old, brilliant NXT theme. Damage CTRL’s Titan Tron playing was just someone falling onto the console whilst in a headlock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Supremo Posted Tuesday at 07:36 AM Author Paid Members Share Posted Tuesday at 07:36 AM All the mad Nazi-adjacent merchandise he’s had over the years doesn’t help his case, either. Can’t be racist though, can he? He’s got Bianca and Jade hosting the show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King of Old School Posted Tuesday at 07:42 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:42 AM (edited) Not sure the card is as good as the OP is making out, no mid card or tag titles defended again on PPV, even Gunther and his World belt can't get on, yet Nia Jax and Bayley somehow can! Cody & Roman vs Solo & Fatu is probably the most predictable main event in history, up there with Cena & Batista vs Finley & Booker at Armageddon 2006. Roman pins Solo, then both Roman and Cody say they are done with The Bloodline for now and end up facing each other in Saudi for the belt, only for the Bloodline to cause a no contest to set up War Games of Cody, Roman, KO and Randy against Bloodline Wolfpac. That's where I see KO turning on Cody and just walking out or something. If Jimmy, Jey & Sami come into the fold I can see it being on the Road to Wrestlemania with some multi man tag match there. I don't think Bloodline original vs Bloodline Wolfpac is happening at SS unfortunately.

Everything except the Nia match on this show looks like it could genuinely headline one of their not-PPVs. I'd say Supremo's excitement is pretty justified. That Bayley edit is horrific though. Unless they changed the person playing her, like they did with the Ultimate Warrior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted Tuesday at 08:43 AM Author Paid Members Share Posted Tuesday at 08:43 AM (edited) The last thing I want is MORE MATCHES on my pay per views. It’s another success of current WWE - they spread stuff around the pay per view now. They have big, PPV-worthy matches on the Smackdown before and the Raw after, allowing them to keep to a tight two-and-half-hour main show. Without giving away spoilers, there’s stuff on this Friday’s Smackdown and next Monday’s Raw that in another era would definitely be saved for the pay per view, adding at least three hours to it. It’s much better this way. You still get the same matches, just in a far more digestible manner. A few tasty meals over the course of the week, rather than one all-you-can-eat buffet on Saturday, that leaves you feeling sick. But yeah. That Bayley graphic. I swear someone in production holds a grudge against her. Edited Tuesday at 08:47 AM by Supremo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King of Old School Posted Tuesday at 08:54 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:54 AM Yeah I agree there that nobody wants 4-5 hour PPV's bought back. Would just be nice to see the US and Tag titles defended on PPV at some point, IC has had a few on to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted yesterday at 08:56 AM Paid Members Share Posted yesterday at 08:56 AM I am actually looking forward to all five matches rather than the four that everyone else seems to be. But that's only because I believe it's Tiffy Time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted yesterday at 10:56 AM Paid Members Share Posted yesterday at 10:56 AM Yeah that Bayley graphic is awful but I also didn't realise Rhea Ripley was wrestling Mandy Rose on this show. There's no way that's Liv Morgan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Statto Posted 20 hours ago Paid Members Share Posted 20 hours ago I'm glad I'm not alone, cos I absolutely thought that. I don't watch the weekly TV at the mo, and upon seeing the graphic I googled when Mandy Rose had come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
