As predicted, Seth Rollins returned at the end of the PPV.
 
Once again Kid received the beating of his life on the hands of Roman Reign.

Happy Seth is back as he is 10x better than AJ.
 
Seth is back finally!!!!!! Should be interesting episode of Raw will be interested to see if they use him as heel or face. Personally I would have him in the middle. Crowd will go crazy for him and wwe want regins as baby face

Wwe seems as though they want seth to be the heel. They are trying to hard to get roman over seems as thoug the more they do that the more boos he will get. I think the guy has something but shouldn't be shoved down our throats and maybe turning heel is for the best for roman now. The rock stone cold Shawn Michaels all had heel runs before becoming great baby faces roman may not be as good as them but a heel run will be of benefit for him in the long run
 
AJ is nothing without his friends in front of Roman. Damn, Seth is back and now it will be interesting episode of RAW.
Wrestling is scripted bro.

AJ Styles is the best wrestler on the planet and the closest thing we'll get to HBK ever in terms of in ring ability :facepalm:

Even made an ordinary talent like Roman look good.
 
Why is AJ getting buried? Now that guy is not even in MITB match.The reason which hits my mind is that he was not created by WWE that's why he has to suffer
 
I want to see AJ vs Zayn sometime in the future. Easily the two best in ring performers on the roster right now.

Smackdown Spoiler

AJ seems depressed, doesn't know what's next. He said he didn't know what was next and walked off in an interview on Smackdown after being asked what was next.

I've read they have major plans for him and Vince is apparently very impressed with after what he put his body through at ER. I personally don't know what they're doing. Maybe a losing streak story line which makes him flip out and embrace his vicious side?

They had a good match on Raw a while back, but they phoned it as they didn't give away it all in a random Raw match.

The AJ-KO match last night was excellent.

KO is just brilliant with his smack talk, I hope he wins and trolls the champ every week :)))

Cowardly Rollins was horrible to watch. I turned it off the moment he turned back heel.
 
KO is my favourite current wrestler.I am his fan since indies days.I hope he win MITB but most probably it will be Dean

something big is going to happen at MITB, blee dat
 
Most probably AJ would have a feud with John Cena and will job to him as well.Ideally he should be placed in the storyline of Bullet Club which includes Balor and some other wrestlers as well

Aj vs cena would be suprised to see that happen. Have a feeling Cena may face Rusev for the United States championship
 
AJ is a good wrestler but as an overall package Seth Rollins is much better than AJ. Nice to see him back.
He's probably better than AJ as a whole package.

But you just don't understand how big of a deal AJ is. AJ is highly respected in pro wrestling and is often compared to HBK, who is the undisputed greatest in ring wrestler of all time, by industry experts such as JR, Kurt Angle, Ric Flair, Meltzer etc.

On sportscenter, Rollins even admitted AJ was an idol of his and that he modeled his game on AJ [MENTION=138379]#GreenRoars[/MENTION]

Check this out

He can't hit it like that anymore, but my god :O

As I said he is a good wrestler. Now that Rollins has come back he will once again become a mid carder. I would like to see Cesaro vs AJ, KO vs AJ and Ambrose vs AJ.

I was waiting for this moment for over a decade

Expect Cena to bury AJ. I must say that I'm not really enjoying AJ in WWE. I was a big fan of his back in the TNA days but WWE AJ just ain't fun for me.
 
Brock Lesnar to fight at UFC 200, possibly against Kiwi Mark Hunt [MENTION=137419]dashing_man[/MENTION] [MENTION=47617]Red Devil[/MENTION]

Can you see me now? Can you see me now? Can you see me now?

Got chills from that promo.

Made all the more special with Roman clutching his arm in the background.

Brock will kill Mark and spill his blood all over his body :)
 
Mark knocked out Frank Mir quick with one devastating punch


:facepalm:

your post clearly shows how much you lack basic knowledge. Mir in the video is not the same Mir he was 8 years ago. Mir of 2008 would have pummeled Hunt like a fly. Brock will break Hunt that's confirmed.

Brock hasn't competed in an MMA match in 5 years. If he gets any decent fighter, he'll likely get stomped.

Brock isn't CM Punk or Dave or Lashley, he won't take any has been. he could have asked for Mir but he wants the top dogs and Hunt is in the top 10 HW list.

Brock wins, he becomes a Legend but I hardly see it happening, Brock wasn't complete fighter when he won the UFC title...who knows he's complete now, he may win
 
Theodore long botched his promo. Should be kept away from wwe tv hope he doesn't run Smackdown
 
Anyone find the full sail university crowd really annoying? Chanting this is awesome before the match starts, singing for wrestlers not even in the match or even connected to it. One obnoxious crowd.

KO destroyed them once which was great to see.
 
I love Kevin Nash. A former wrestler comes out with a more sensible response to Orlando than the man actually running for President on the Republican side !
When a mass killing attacks our citizens I get real ------- angry. Hurts my heart that their existence is categorized as LGBT. When we say 49 people were killed then maybe our brothers and sisters, friends and lovers will be seen as Americans not gay Americans. The Supreme Court made same sex marriage a law. Let's stop putting our family in categories. If their sexuall preferences were the reason so be it. The killer had been in the club before this horrible act. Looking to hook up. We can blame radical Islamic beliefs as the reason. Mental instability is the culprit in my mind. Let's not hate our Muslim brothers and sisters. Let's hate the hate.

Oh don't say that. Hopefully AJ can get the win in the next match against Cena. Think they will have more than 1 match. Expecting Regins to win anyway

AJ will win but probably due to some outside interference. Cena will win the feud. There is no way Vince would allow a TNA guy to get the last laugh.
 
Markout city beyotch.

Cena lost.
Roman lost clean.
Ambrose won MITB.
Rollins won clean.
Ambrose avenged Rollins the sell out.


I was dancing.

all i have to say to Vince is,

YOU STILL GOT IT. YOU STILL GOT IT.
 
When Rollins won I was so shocked, you just didn't expect it. But then when Dean Ambrose entrance music began, I was like wow WWE fair play, you have caught out every fan - two shocks at once... Now that's what you call a plot twist! :))

When Ambrose won - I was actually laughing and cheering at 4am; it was no unexpected man. Haven't cheered like that since Eddie Guerrero won v Brock Lesnar at No way out!
 
I was shocked when Rollins won but Dean finally got his moment. Looks like we will be getting a shield triple threat
 
[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] do you like what the creative team is doing with AJ now? He has become another seth rollins. Storyline looks pretty similar to (coward) seth rollins with JJ security.

They're booking AJ terribly, but the WWE do that with most of their heels. AJ for example needs Gallows and Anderson to hang with the WWE's boys, when in reality, it's him who is carrying those guys to great matches.

With all that said he's still been able to put on some great 4+ star matches. It's annoying because we all know that the protecting and booking is preventing those 4-4.5 star matches becoming classic 4.75-5 star matches which AJ is striving for.

Cena/AJ segment was the top segment for Raw this week in the key 18-49 demo.

The Shield did some disappointing numbers after the big shakeup at MITB.

Top June 20 Raw Segments – Males 18-49 demo

(1) Cena-Styles (Q5) – 1.221 million viewers / 1.94 m18-49 rating

(2) Cena-Karl Anderson (Q6) – 1.079 million viewers / 1.71 m18-49 rating

(3) Ending of Reigns-Rollins (Over-Run) – 1.079 million viewers / 1.71 m18-49 rating


(4) Top of the Third Hour (Q9) – Ending of Charlotte vs. Paige & Bray Wyatt return – 1.049 million viewers / 1.67 m18-49 rating

(5) Zack Ryder vs. Baron Corbin (Q7) – 1.049 million viewers / 1.67 m18-49 rating

(6) Opening of the show (Q1) – 1.026 million viewers / 1.63 m18-49 rating

The m18-49 audience was slow to tune into the show despite the big MITB developments.

Aj booking has been awful. He should have just got the clean victory over Cena. I think he should have initially allligned with cena to fight Gallows and Anderson than turn on cena. A slow turn may have been better imo.
 
Been watching some of Steve Austin podcasts, they are really interesting. Shows how difficult things were back in the day for wrestlers and there is some brilliant stories of when the guys were on the road and also some of the backstage stuff.

Some of you guys would find it interesting.
 
Disappointed to hear about what happened with Roman. Lets see how he is treated on his return. Usally people who break the wellness policy are buried on TV.
 
I recently subbed to the WWE Network. Watching some classic WWE and WCW matches.

Some of these matches you have to check out:

Bret Hart vs Owen Hart - Wrestlemania X (Bret had to wrestle 2 matches that night and was selling the leg injury till the end of the event!)

Razor Ramon vs Shawn Michaels for Intercontinental Title - Ladder match, Wrestlemania X (Just one ladder used and still more exciting than some of the spotfests today).

Ricky Steamboat vs Randy Savage for Intercontinental Title - Wrestlemania 3
(Amazing commentary by Jesse Ventura and Gorilla Monsoon)

Dangerous Alliance (Steve Austin, Rick Rude, Larry Zbyszko, Arn Anderson, Bobby Eaton) vs Sting's Squadron (Sting, Nikita Koloff, Dustin Rhodes, Barry Windham, Ricky Steamboat) - Wargames Match, WCW Wrestlewar 1992
(Exciting, brutal match with 20 minutes passing by in a blur. Lot of blade jobs in this one.)

Brian Pillman vs Jushin Thunder Liger for WCW Light Heavyweight Title - WCW Superbrawl 2
(Who said you cannot do technical wrestling in a light heavyweight title match?)

The Four Horsemen (Ric Flair, Barry Windham, Sid Vicious and Larry Zbyszko) vs Sting, Brian Pillman, Scott and Rick Steiner - Wargames Match, WCW Wrestlewar 1991
(Brutal match with an insane blade job from Flair and Windham. Even Surfer Sting was bleeding. Pillman almost had his career ended from a botched powerbomb by Sid.)

Goldberg vs DDP - WCW World Title, Halloween Havoc 1998 (overshadowed sadly by a horrible Hogan vs Warrior II. Arguably the best Goldberg match in terms of wrestling. DDP was so good and was buried sadly by WWF.)
