WWE RAW 6/1 Feat. A Lunatic champion, Ryback eating the IC belt, and a New Day of the KO Era

SHOULD AMBROSE BE CHAMPION?

After the main event between Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose at WWE Elimination Chamber was left in a sea of controversy, is The Lunatic Fringe the rightful titleholder? How will the unstable Superstar respond to WWE COO Triple H’s demand that he return the title by the start of Raw tonight at 8/7 C?

[ClockShot]

Ambrose being Repo Man 2.0 is the only reason I'm gonna watch tonight. Hope he holds onto the title for longer than just 24 hours.

[DAMN iNATOR]

5/18? Smeat did your DeLorean malfunction again?

[DAMN iNATOR]

Ambrose being Repo Man 2.0 is the only reason I'm gonna watch tonight. Hope he holds onto the title for longer than just 24 hours.

I'm kind of interested to see what kind of impression Ryback will make in his, err...new role...don't want to spoil anything for people who didn't watch last night. Also, to see how they continue the Owens/Cena saga.

[Emperor Smeat]

5/18? Smeat did your DeLorean malfunction again?

My mistake. Forgot to change the date after copying some stuff for this week's thread.

[Tom Guycott]

Hm, I think there's some decent, developable chemestry between Graves, Otunga, and Stanford. They need some actual network tv time and not just preshow wwe channel fodder.

[Corndad]

Steph looking like it's her time of the month.

[Tom Guycott]

Kane and Trips not getting the matchimg attire memo.

[DAMN iNATOR]

San Antonio, eh? What are the odds of a Shawn Michaels appearance tonight?

[ClockShot]

Will laugh if Dean hands over a prop or kiddie WWE title. Seems loony enough to do that.

[Tom Guycott]

Ambrose steals title, he's a liability. Orton assults his bosses, and he became the face of the company because of it.

All aboard the logic train!

[Dark One]

Should have had the Elimination Chamber show here. This crowd even cares about th opening talky bit.

[ClockShot]

Ah. Holding the title hostage.


Smart.

[Crimson]

Reigns should start saying "my client Dean Ambrose.."

[Corndad]

Mic Check 1 2

[DAMN iNATOR]

LOL Steph having mic troubles...

[Dark One]

A ladder match for the championship during the Money in the Bank PPV with an existing multiple personal ladder match already? Interesting choice.

[Corndad]

It is kinda refreshing to have a Heel who gets booed as a Heel isn't it.

[ClockShot]

Production monkey it about to get FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRED!

[Corndad]

Hashtag Rollins HHH Tension

[owenbrown]

sound guy fucking up bad

[Volare]

Rollins got a fire under his ass boy!

[Frank Drebin]

Hey guys I haven't watched wrestling for 2 years but I think I speak for the IWC when I say that I'm worried that wwe has no idea what to do with Jon Moxley or Tyler Black.

[Dark One]

Nice to see Rollins show some balls after being booked like the little brother for the past few months.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Would've cracked the fuck up if Rollins had shoved the mic into Trips' chest a la the J.R./Bischoff confrontation on RAW in 2003.

[owenbrown]

why don't you just fucking hand Roman the fucking briefcase?! :nono:

[DAMN iNATOR]

Production monkey it about to get FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRED!

"YOU PLAY THE MUSIC?!"

[Volare]

Was that his attempt at "Pipebomb"?

[Tom Guycott]

"Who the hell do you think you are!?"

Vintage Stephanie!

[DAMN iNATOR]

"Who the hell do you think you are!?"

Vintage Stephanie!

I dunno what it is, but there's just something about her when she gets all pissed off like that...

[Lock Jaw]

Authority with a real top threat to put against Reigns here....

[ClockShot]

Kofi's in the MITB match.

Spotfests galore............gurandamnteed.

[owenbrown]

yeah so let's bury Wade Barrett some more with the obvious next MITB winner

If this is accurate, I expect this to be a much higher rated episode of Superstars than usual.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Please, God, give the Roman empire some Bad News via collapse in this mstch...

[Tom Guycott]

I really hope Roman loses here. And that isn't Reigns hate.

Barrett gets a win he could use- what good is King of the Ring if you go back to jobbing to everyone after?Roman gets some friction the fans can get behind for his rise to where they're determined to push him by getting boned out of MitB.

If this is accurate, I expect this to be a much higher rated episode of Superstars than usual.

I hope he gets better music. Semi-sinister intro in the vein of Regal and his indy "Godzilla" suite, then it goes into a beat even more generic than Sonny Siaki's TNA theme. Joe deserves better.

[Heisenberg]

Hey Champions, hope you're doing good tonight. The semen in your tubes with pubes

[Lock Jaw]

Hasn't it been unsuccesful twice?

[Lock Jaw]

Yah, good job JBL

[Dark One]

Hey Champions, hope you're doing good tonight. The semen in your tubes with pubes

Sup, Heisenbro. Just had some cheap microwavable pot stickers that were way better than they had any business being. Night is now at least 300% better.

[Lock Jaw]

Hunico does it better

[DAMN iNATOR]

Hasn't it been unsuccesful twice?

Yep. Cena and Sandow.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I've got an odd feeling that we'll see The Miz, Cesaro and Sin Cara added to Money in the Bank.

[Emperor Smeat]

Surprised this match hasn't been just a pure squash or Reigns dominated match.

[Tom Guycott]

Roman Reeeeeeigns, Superstaaaaar! Do you think you're who they saaaaay you aaaaaaaaare?!

[Lock Jaw]

A star studded money in the bank ladder match and Kofi Kingston!

[Corndad]

I know WHY he's there but Kofi being in that match makes no sense.

[Tom Guycott]

Hope HHH swerves him now and makes it a gauntlet.

[Lock Jaw]

Why do people who FAILED to win the IC title get rewarded with a chance to get a WORLD title shot?

[Lock Jaw]

Really should have done qualifying matches....

[Dark One]

[Mr. Nerfect]

Triple H should have told Ambrose that if he didn't return the title Reigns is out of MITB. That would have got the job done.

[Poit]

I know WHY he's there but Kofi being in that match makes no sense.

Simple explanation: As a reward for the New Day's help last week, the Authority awarded them with a spot in the Money in the Bank match. Since Kofi hit the winning move in the tag title Elimination Chamber match, the New Day picked Kofi to represent them in Money in the Bank.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Bray Wyatt is probably the only guy officially confirmed for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match that makes any kayfabe sense.

Really? I thought he was one of the six. My bad.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Why do people who FAILED to win the IC title get rewarded with a chance to get a WORLD title shot?

Apparently neither Steph or Trips will say no to Vince...after all, I'm 99% sure he still pulls most if not all the strings backstage.

[ClockShot]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Roman's running the gauntlet tonight.

[Volare]

Somebody gon get their wig split! LMAO

[Lock Jaw]

Somebody gonna get their wig split

[Tom Guycott]

Hope HHH swerves him now and makes it a gauntlet.

:D

[ClockShot]

I'M GOING TO DISNEYLAND!

[DAMN iNATOR]

LMAO HHH singing Mark's theme.

[Dark One]

Triple H's "somebody gonna get their wig split" will be spot of the night.

[Emperor Smeat]

Didn't Paige already use her rematch clause for last night's Triple Threat?

[Lock Jaw]

Consider your challenge excepted

[Lock Jaw]

THE RYBACK

[Tom Guycott]

Wait, who called Nikki being "longest reigning Diva" to spite AJ?

[KIRA]

When they asked Nikki what was next for her I prayed to Odin she would say acting lessons but nope.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Didn't Paige already use her rematch clause for last night's Triple Threat?

Didn't count because it wasn't 1 on 1, which it was going to be for the battle royal winner.

<font color=goldenrod>The IC Title looks good on THE BIG GUY</font>

[#1-norm-fan]

Just tuned in to hear Michael Cole say Miz vs Ryback is coming up... I have a feeling The Miz is gonna win the title because fuck WWE.

[Volare]

Feed Me Gold!

[Lock Jaw]

Looks good with the belt

[DAMN iNATOR]

Wait, who called Nikki being "longest reigning Diva" to spite AJ?

I thought I heard them say her 6+ months was the longest of all the CURRENT company champs...

[Dark One]

Just tuned in to hear Michael Cole say Miz vs Ryback is coming up... I have a feeling The Miz is gonna win the title because fuck WWE.

He's got a shitty movie coming up in a few months. Gotta push him.

[Lock Jaw]

I hope Ryback starts getting the IC title paintbrushed onto his singlets

[Corndad]

Just tuned in to hear Michael Cole say Miz vs Ryback is coming up... I have a feeling The Miz is gonna win the title because fuck WWE.

Oh god no. This can't happen.

[Emperor Smeat]

So did Ryback's feud with Bray get suddenly dropped?

Before Henry appeared Bray was rumored as the likely candidate to replace Rusev for the IC Chamber match which would have made sense since Ryback was in the match.

[Tom Guycott]

http://dailywrestlingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Paige-hat-gifs-001.gif

Not as good as when "crazy" Fox stole his hat, but it'll do!

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm digging Ryback more and more every week.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Yeah..Miz had his time in 2010-11 but nobody gives a fuck about him.

TRUTH

[Emperor Smeat]

Wait, who called Nikki being "longest reigning Diva" to spite AJ?

She needs at least another 3 months to top AJ's record. Won't be surprised if she does since AJ is connected to the Punk-WWE fallout and WWE being petty at times.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Could see Miz winning though, because fuck it. WWE.

[Tom Guycott]

I hope Ryback starts getting the IC title paintbrushed onto his singlets

Airbrushed. But yes, I was just thinking that he should do the Rick Rude thing.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I was half-expecting Sasha Banks to appear there. I see Nikki disposing of Paige tonight and then being confronted by her next challenger (most likely Charlotte).

[Tom Guycott]

Johnny Cage vs Goro for the WWE Intercontinental Championchiaaa!

[KIRA]

Not as good as when "crazy" Fox stole his hat, but it'll do!

No no it isn't

[Lock Jaw]

Chamionshiiiii

[DAMN iNATOR]

I was half-expecting Sasha Banks to appear there. I see Nikki disposing of Paige tonight and then being confronted by her next challenger (most likely Charlotte).

In all honesty I'd be all for Paige winning the title tonight.

[KIRA]

NO NO NO

[ClockShot]

Uh oh.

[Lock Jaw]

Oh good, The Big Show is back

[Corndad]

Airbrushed. But yes, I was just thinking that he should do the Rick Rude thing.

Just have him show up next week with Jake Roberts Wife on it lol

[Tom Guycott]

This is unexpectedly intriguing.

[DAMN iNATOR]

BIG SHOW

...OUTTA NOWHERE!!!

[Lock Jaw]

Actually, really want to see Ryback Shellshock Big Show.....

[Poit]

Miz spinning around after a KO punch never gets old.

[Corndad]

Well I guess there is your IC Title match for MITB.

[Lock Jaw]

Never mind, he already did it. Screw it.

[Dark One]

Actually, really want to see Ryback Shellshock Big Show.....

I COME TO YOU FROM THE FUTURE.

If the Miz match would have actually gone down, I would have suggested Maryse.

[Lock Jaw]

Remember that time when Big Show was knocking people out for The Authority against his will and crying about it? I remember him knocking out a face Miz once and being fine with that one.

[#1-norm-fan]

Hmm. Ryback going over Big Show would be a damn good start to pushing him like he should have been pushed years ago. Do it, WWE.

[Black Widow]

Paige vs Nikki

i don't know got a feeling Brie may turn.

[Lock Jaw]

Paige vs Nikki

i don't know got a feeling Brie may turn.

Would really keep this wheel turning

[#1-norm-fan]

Remember when he was a face and he punched an old man for no reason?

[Lock Jaw]

Paige vs Nikki

i don't know got a feeling Brie may turn.

Then she can tell Nikki she wished she died in the womb

[Dark One]

Monday Night Owens, starring Kevin Owens, with a special guest appearance by Kevin Owens, brought to you by Kevin Owens.

[Corndad]

FIGHT

[DAMN iNATOR]

Would really keep this wheel turning

How? Thought Paige was technically heel now...?

[#1-norm-fan]

Paige vs Nikki

i don't know got a feeling Brie may turn.

Would she be turning heel because Nikki is a face or would she be turning face because Nikki was an awful bitch to her for months with no resolution?

[Black Widow]

Then she can tell Nikki she wished she died in the wombDon't care to see it but it seems like something WWE would do.

[Dark One]

How? Thought Paige was technically heel now...?

It's the Divas division. It'll be different in a week anyway.

[KIRA]

This should be good.

[Simple Fan]

Damn Owens is getting a push. Different shirt every night he is getting Cena treatment.

[Black Widow]

Would she be turning heel because Nikki is a face or would she be turning face because Nikki was an awful bitch to her for months with no resolution?The 1st probably.

[Dark One]

This is a great angle. If they're going to go right into another match, this is 100% the right way to do it.

[owenbrown]

too bad this promo won't mean anything in 2 weeks when LOLCENAWINS happens and Kevin Owens is reduced to a comedy jobber

[Corndad]

I beat SUPER CENA!

[owenbrown]

he mentions Super Cena :eek:

[DAMN iNATOR]

Cena interruption imminent I bet. :roll:

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>...I think Kevin Owens is my favorite wrestler.</font>

[Corndad]

Damn. That was a hot promo.

[#1-norm-fan]

I feel like this is building to a rubber match at SummerSlam.

When it should have been a long build just to the rematch.

[DAMN iNATOR]

:roll:
:roll:
:roll:

[Dark One]

I can't believe you people are bitching about Cena right now.

Kevin Owens beat him clean in the middle of the ring in his very first fucking match on the main roster. John Cena gave him more and made him look better than basically anyone else in his entire history except for Brock Lesnar.

Seriously. Cena can win in two weeks, and you know what? Kevin Owens is still going to be a million light years ahead of where he was a month ago unless John Cena makes him cry in the middle of the ring and eat his own underwear.

What planet are you guys on?

I don't get it. What do you guys want? John Cena wins, it's omg lolcenawins. John Cena loses clean, no excuses, flat on his back in the center of his ring from a guy's finisher, it's omg he's still going to lolcenawins eventually. What would it take for you to be okay with a result of his match?

[Tom Guycott]

I get the sentiment, John, but it actually *is* a catch phrase.

[DAMN iNATOR]

LEAVE CENA LEAVE

[KIRA]

goddamn kids

[#1-norm-fan]

too bad this promo won't mean anything in 2 weeks when LOLCENAWINS happens and Kevin Owens is reduced to a comedy jobber

Weren't you "LOLCENAWINS"ing during the Elimination Chamber thread and then promptly shut the fuck up after Owens won?

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: if the Open Challenge had just ended with a handshake.

Not sure why Cena is upset right now since all Owens said was he wanted to make his son proud of his dad and not just Cena. Teased Cena a bit but that was the whole basis of his promo.

[KIRA]

WTF is that supposed to mean

[DAMN iNATOR]

Guy who's fans are all 12 and under saying someone else isn't really a man.

100% serious here: What would it take you guys to actually just enjoy a Cena segment or angle?

This is an incredible angle and segment. John Cena is bringing fire on the microphone without devolving into poop jokes. He cuts deep and attacks Kevin Owens' integrity, sure, but he's angry about losing and he went after valid points. He got the crowd into it.

Last night, he lost to Kevin Owens. He had an incredible match that made Owens look like one of the biggest stars in the entire company. In his first match. He got laid out by Kevin Owens multiple times.

If Cena had done what Kevin Owens did, there'd be an infinite flood of posts talking about him burying someone. He was on the receiving end, but still, it's "OMG Cena is going to interrupt."

Of course he's going to interrupt. They're fucking feuding. Kevin Owens just ran him down.

I'm legitimately curious as to what you would like to happen and what you would expect to happen, because this seems like pretty much everything everyone who can't stand Cena has been asking for over the past forever, and now it's not good enough.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I don't know why but I get the feeling that Rollins gets his belt back tonight, Reigns will defeat Henry and then there's one more opponent Reigns needs to beat to ensure his MitB spot: Dean Ambrose.

Make it so.

[Tom Guycott]

Damn!

Hogan in the 80's had less predictable promos than Cena.

Might be true, but "serious, empassioned Cena" promos are always top notch. It's when he does lame jokes and doesn't seem to take opponents seriously that makes his mic work "suck".

[Mr. Nerfect]

Holy fuck that was a hot promo segment. Owens "gets it" on the mic. Dude is going to be a huge star for them going forward. Cena is doing the best work of his fucking life right now. I actually think he'll put Owens over again at Money in the Bank. I'm predicting a sort of match-stoppage scenario, like with Sami Zayn. Cue Owens promo on RAW -- "You didn't officially give up, Cena; but your body pretty much did..."

I honestly wouldn't have any trouble if the guy didn't have a belt he didn't need. Yes, he defends it quite often and that's all well and good, but if Owens actually gets a U.S. title shot, what are the actual odds he wins it? Infinitesimal if you ask me.

I just wanted him to do it because it would be fun to see that was a fucking good promo by Cena I don't dislike the guy you want OWENBROWN for that.

My honest opinion of Cena is that he has been phenomenal for a while now.

[slik]

great promo from both Cena and Owens

hot feud

[Simple Fan]

New Day cheap heat.

[Lock Jaw]

Cena has been great in the ring and on the mic since winning the US Title.

[Dark One]

Cena interruption imminent I bet. :roll:

People were complaining that the US title didn't matter and was attached to jobbers, so they give it to the biggest name in the company who has above average to great matches every week for two months after winning it, but then "he doesn't need it."

Kevin Owens beat John Cena clean in the middle of the ring once, but there's no chance he'll beat him for the title that you're implying is below John Cena?

This is an incredible angle and segment. John Cena is bringing fire on the microphone without devolving into poop jokes. He cuts deep and attacks Kevin Owens' integrity, sure, but he's angry about losing and he went after valid points. He got the crowd into it.

Last night, he lost to Kevin Owens. He had an incredible match that made Owens look like one of the biggest stars in the entire company. In his first match. He got laid out by Kevin Owens multiple times.

If Cena had done what Kevin Owens did, there'd be an infinite flood of posts talking about him burying someone. He was on the receiving end, but still, it's "OMG Cena is going to interrupt."

Of course he's going to interrupt. They're fucking feuding. Kevin Owens just ran him down.

I'm legitimately curious as to what you would like to happen and what you would expect to happen, because this seems like pretty much everything everyone who can't stand Cena has been asking for over the past forever, and now it's not good enough.

Exactly.

I dug the segment. Even the "Cane Dewey" moment (dunno if it was improv, or a plant on that spot for him to mention, but I don't care, it was still great). My ONLY problem with the segment is a criticisim I have of Owens to begin with... he needs to be a little bigger heel. Hot start, though. And as was stated, this is the beginning of a feud. Hell, Owens is essentially being positioned to be made by Cena, much like Undertaker has done with so many up-and-comers. This serves not only to get Kevin over, but also make him better.

:lol:

True. Then again some would argue a smart man would do just what Cena is doing.

[Tom Guycott]

Damn it not long enough those two have the most kickass matches together.

Its why I put off my last post.

Again, saddens me that this isn't a WWE Championship caliber matchup/feud by now.

[DAMN iNATOR]

People were complaining that the US title didn't matter and was attached to jobbers, so they give it to the biggest name in the company who has above average to great matches every week for two months after winning it, but then "he doesn't need it."

Kevin Owens beat John Cena clean in the middle of the ring once, but there's no chance he'll beat him for the title that you're implying is below John Cena?

Well, there certainly isn't any chance if Cena never decides to give him a shot at it. I'm very slightly hopeful that their next match could have it on the line, but it may not be, and who knows if they'll have a 3rd match down the line?

I guess I'm just hoping I'll finally be proven wrong in my thinking that Cena will just win the next match or 2 against Owens and win yet another feud...but with all the stuff that's gone down re: Cena in the past 10 years, I've just grown increasingly more disillusioned with him every year, if nkt every month or even every week. It's just the same thing, new shirt with different color scheme, maybe a belt here or there...it's just his whole "conquering hero" schtick seems so stale right now, and I think he could really, truly benefit from some time off. I know that's not his M.O., but still.

[Tom Guycott]

New Day's insinuating that if "one of us is Mr. MITB, we all are" is intriguing. Insofar as, one of them NEEDS to win, then they either turn on the winner out of resentment, OR they initially call themselves co-holders, UNTIL someone tries to cash in, and they all keep essentially cock blocking eachother.

Or, they could eventually do the 4 Horsemen thing and unselfishly help their partners to hold all the gold.

Kevin Owens started the feud off by basically saying that he didn't care about the US Title because it was below the NXT Title. It's not a matter of John Cena not giving him a shot.

I understand being disillusioned and suspicious about Cena. I really do. I've been there a lot myself, but last night--and the whole feud with Owens--has been completely different than the usual pattern. There are not many men who have beat John Cena clean--and while that may be an indictment in and of itself, you shouldn't let that cancel out something that is 100% different and great.

The last few people that beat John Cena clean? The Rock in like 2012. Daniel Bryan at Summerslam in 2013. Brock Lesnar in 2014. Those guys did pretty okay. They don't hand out clean wins over Cena without having a plan for the guy. He's not going to get Ruseved, who won under very ignomious circumstances. They're doing pretty much what everyone's always wanted, and it's just really frustrating to see that get ignored because "lol cena."

Not like it really matters. Kofi is going to do some high flying spots then get put through a ladder by Sheamus to be pretty much taken out of the match.

Okay, when I said earler that Reigns shoudl do a gauntlet (didn't know they actually WERE), i was also going to add the addendum that of course, the true danger will be the third guy Roman faces. Now that Mizzark is contender two, who's your guess for guy 3 that brings an end to Romans MitB plans?

I say Bray.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The New Day have become so fucking entertaining together. I actually like that Kofi has been put into Money in the Bank. It feels left-field, but good on him. I'm sure Xavier Woods and Big E will get to work some spots in that match too. It'll have some memorable drama.

I'm digging The Prime Time Players too. They're no Cesaro and Kidd, but their story of how hungry they are suits them. They've been together for ages and have never won the titles. It feels like it'd be a good moment if they win. I can actually see them beating New Day at Money in the Bank.

I'm also starting to feel a Divas Title change tonight. I don't know why, but it just feels right for Nikki to lose out here. I don't know if they go with random heel Paige again, or if they have another story coming out of this, but I see Paige winning to give the Divas Division a new dimension.

Kofi must have recently studied RVD tapes on the art of the bouncy DDT sell.

[Tom Guycott]

Entrance ain't the same without the "All Will Suffer" shirt.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The best choice would be Dean Ambrose. Reigns and Ambrose are too buddy-buddy right now, and it's a threat to The Authority. As clear-cut allies, they don't mind beating the shit out of each other, but I can see them forging some real tension between them whilst they are both hovering around the title.

Random awesome thought I just had. Re-create the Nexus for one night. Have the NXT Divas ban together and take both of them out leading to NXT/WWE Divas feud. That would make the next few months EXTREMELY interesting for the Divas and when was the last time you thought that.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Would actually mark out for a heel Chris Jericho return to go after the eye of Roman later on. Jericho hasn't been an active heel for so long that there feels like a whole bunch of fresh matches he could have that could steal the show.

I know it's not happening, but you want to forge Roman Reigns into a top guy? Have him feud with Jericho.

[Tom Guycott]

Before he hangs his boots up for real, Mark needs to go to NXT and lose to Samoa Joe with a stipulation that Joey Samoey gets his theme.

Actually, sounds good on paper, but... let's look at recent Jericho history in this department. He feuded with CM Punk and Fandango. One guy isn't with the company anymore, and the other is going to UFC... say what? Oh, Fandango is still in WWE? My bad.

They can always have Reigns do something to force the Authority to put him into MITB next week anyway. It'd make tonight's show largely pointless, but that's WWE.</font>
