WWE RAW 7/13 feat. Brock Smash Tour, Reigns-Bray War of the Ramblings, & Some other Battleground stuff

[Emperor Smeat]

Brock's rampage continues!

With his clash with Brock Lesnar at WWE Battleground looming on the horizon, Seth Rollins undoubtedly clutching his WWE World Heavyweight Championship a little tighter these days. After all, The Beast Incarnate not only demolished J&J Security’s Cadillac last Monday night, but put both Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury on the shelf during his rampage. Who will watch The Architect’s back this Monday night in Atlanta, when The Anomaly is in the building?

Who is that getting suplexed here?

[#1-norm-fan]

Joey Mercury.

[KIRA]

I hope a vigil will be held tonight on behalf of J&J security and a 10 bell salute to their departed Cadillac.

[Lock Jaw]

They haven't called him The Anomaly in awhile...

[ClockShot]

The Anomaly?

Is like John Morrison coming back or something to avenge Mercury or something?

[Lock Jaw]

All I can think of when I hear "The Anomaly" is brief 90s Superman enemy whose super-villain name was also "The Anomaly"....

[DAMN iNATOR]

Everybody get in, sit down, seat belts on and shut up...WE'RE GOING TO SUPLEX CITY, BABY!

[Dark One]

Rumors of 'big stuff" happening tonight, and not like TNA "big stuff."

We'll see.

[Lock Jaw]

Would have been "funny" and a "hot angle" if they had Brock legit chop off someone's arm/head with that axe last week.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Wonder what kind of "aftermath" from last week we'll see from Kane and possibly Triple H & Steph tonight..

[Dark One]

Would have been "funny" and a "hot angle" if they had Brock legit chop off someone's arm/head with that axe last week.

How badly does Jamie Noble want that TV time?

[Dark One]

R.I.P. random kid in the crowd.

[Innovator]

Potential


Stardust



return tonight

[Emperor Smeat]

I hope a vigil will be held tonight on behalf of J&J security and a 10 bell salute to their departed Cadillac.

Poor car, never stood a chance against the mayor of Suplex City.

[Lock Jaw]

Why did they partly crush the car to transport it there next week?

[ClockShot]

Car should have been crushed more. Not leveled off perfectly.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Is that the first time since his return that he's had that classic 2002-2004 ring pyro? Legit cannot recall...

[Dark One]

Potential


Stardust



return tonight

[Lock Jaw]

So weird to hear Paul Heyman being cheered (not in the "YAY ECW" way I mean)

[Black Widow]

Becky showing tonight?
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CJ0Y6TYWUAAIR75.jpg

Gonna wish i had decided to go if so.

[DAMN iNATOR]

http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/16/160740/2689242-0220173800-tumbl.gif

LOL

[Dark One]

So weird to hear Paul Heyman being cheered (not in the "YAY ECW" way I mean)

One of Our Lord and Savior of the Suplex's many miracles.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Becky showing tonight?
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CJ0Y6TYWUAAIR75.jpg

Gonna wish i had decided to go if so.

I dunno...think it's probably pretty "highly unlikely" Vince will promote any of the top NXT Divas to the main roster before SSlam, but I wouldn't mind being proven wrong.

[DAMN iNATOR]

So weird to hear Paul Heyman being cheered (not in the "YAY ECW" way I mean)

I think there was a couple of times during his SmackDown! G.M. tenure where he was cheered...

[ClockShot]

YOU'RE AN INAIMATE FUCKING OBJECT!

[Poit]

A contract signing that totally, definitely won't devolve into chaos.

[ClockShot]

Love you, Pauly.

[Tom Guycott]

People just chant anything just to chant, don't they?

[DAMN iNATOR]

Kane gonna give Brock a "punishment match" tonight of some sort?

[DAMN iNATOR]

People just chant anything just to chant, don't they?

Perfect example of why the goddamned fucking stupid bullshit "WHAT?!" chant hasn't died...

[Dark One]

Kane gonna give Brock a "punishment match" tonight of some sort?

Brock Lesnar versus the entire roster would almost be a fair match.

[Dark One]

DEAN AMBROSE JOBS TO BRAY WYATT. LIVE. TONIGHT.

[Black Widow]

if Kane was actually a monster, the way he's supposed to be, i would be fine with Kane vs Lesnar at some point

but not "bitch boy slacks" Kane

[owenbrown]

Hey Cole, it's not main event if it is the OPENING MATCH IN THE FUCKING SHOW! :nono:

[DAMN iNATOR]

Hey Cole, it's not main event if it is the OPENING MATCH IN THE FUCKING SHOW! :nono:

Hey, I know whoever is behind the sock still has you upset, but could you please TRY to express yourself calmly in this thread?

[GD]

Missing the effing show. Anything worthwhile happening?

[DAMN iNATOR]

Ryback looking at that destroyed car as if he could consume all of IT and still be hungry.

Hasn't THE RYBACK ever eaten a Snickers bar?

[GD]

Dean and Roman's friendship reminds me of the love angle between Brock and Angle.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Dean and Roman's friendship reminds me of the love angle between Brock and Angle.

http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view7/2649220/lesnar-kisses-angle-o.gif

[Dark One]

Hey man, college was a weird time, all right?

[owenbrown]

too much experimenting, Dark One?

[Lock Jaw]

Ha ha Orton with the rapid thumbs up/thumbs down....

[ClockShot]

ETA for that Orton gif to be up and running?

[Emperor Smeat]

Missing the effing show. Anything worthwhile happening?

Just a promo of Heyman listing all the ways Lesnar was going to hurt Rollins and Kane returning from his Hawaiian vacation.

[Lock Jaw]

Putting all their popular rasslers on the beginning of the card....

[Dark One]

Seth should have replied with "BUT I BOUGHT YOU A TRIP TO HAWAII"

[Dark One]

Putting all their popular rasslers on the beginning of the card....

Your main event once the Derby is over?

ZACK RYDER TAKES ON EL TORITO. LIVE. TONIGHT!

[Lock Jaw]

I hope Reigns ruins this match and Ambrose doesn't have to already go back to jobbing....

[owenbrown]

Live on Raw next...

[DAMN iNATOR]

Triple A's favorite feud of all-time being renewed...

[DAMN iNATOR]

2-on-1 Reigns & Ambrose vs. Wyatt would be interesting...

[ClockShot]

Bray just wearing an apron for no reason? I did I miss something with the gimmick recently?

[Lock Jaw]

Hurray! Ambrose didn't lose!

[DAMN iNATOR]

Bray Wyatt, wrestler by night, blacksmith by day.

[Lock Jaw]

Bray just wearing an apron for no reason? I did I miss something with the gimmick recently?

He's been seen wearing it on occasion from the very start. More in promos, but he has worn it to the ring every now and then too.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Hurray! Ambrose didn't lose!

And now maybe Owen won't yell tonight!

[Corndad]

Ambrose is gonna be on the Pre show isn't he.

[Lock Jaw]

Dammit... divas on early again.....

[Corndad]

C'mon Divas. Don't disappoint me.

[Dark One]

Let's see if "big things" Happen.

[ClockShot]

New Diva being called up the way this promo is going.

[GD]

Alicia Fox's belly button

[Corndad]

Do it WWE. Do it.

[Lock Jaw]

Time to put over Steph

[Corndad]

OH. Hey Steph.

[Dark One]

This definitely sound like a promo to set up debut(s).

[ClockShot]

Boss lady is in the building. Ruh-roh.

[Lock Jaw]

Alicia Fox's belly button

I know... did ya'll see it change into an Ant-Man promo?!

[Emperor Smeat]

So is Steph going to yell at the Bellas for trying to be the boss of women?

[Savio]

ugh was wondering why a divas segment was going on at the top of the hour..... now I know why.

[Savio]

Hey look we are making stephanie look strong.

[Corndad]

Why did Steph have to get involved in this.

[ClockShot]

Here they come.

[GD]

This is really happening

[ClockShot]

Why did Steph have to get involved in this.

"I am (boss) woman, hear me roar........"

[Corndad]

Steph is learning from 2001 HHH Apparently.

[Poit]

Yaaaaaaassss

[DAMN iNATOR]

Wait...Steph wanted Paige out there, huh? :naughty:

[Emperor Smeat]

Thought Becky was hurt or something along with Bayley.

[Lock Jaw]

YESSSSSS Becky Lynch!!!

[Savio]

Good thing we have stephanies stamp of approval on this.

[Dark One]

[ClockShot]

So we swap out Eva Marie red hair for Becky's fire hair. Make sense.

[Poit]

Thought Becky was hurt or something along with Bayley.

I think her injury was just for a few weeks.

[Innovator]

Becky!

[DAMN iNATOR]

Charlotte!

[Poit]

YAAAAAAAASSSSS

[Corndad]

They shoulda saved Paige from a Beatdown.

[Savio]

Remember when Stephanie and Nikki were friends?

[Lock Jaw]

Steampunk Becky and Paige will make a good team.... Too bad she wasn't Steampunk Becky tonight....

[Dark One]

http://media1.giphy.com/media/xB1RqLGoBNh3W/100.gif

[DAMN iNATOR]

Not bad, but we could use a couple more call-ups...maybe these 2 will cause Steph to call out Sasha and Bayley...please?

[Dark One]

Steampunk Becky and Paige will make a good team.... Too bad she wasn't Steampunk Becky tonight....

It's there, just subtle.

[Lock Jaw]

Naomi gonna have Sasha Banks on her team now

[ClockShot]

Ooooh. Faction warfare. This could be good.

[ClockShot]

Remember when Stephanie and Nikki were friends?

WWE logic dictates we're not supposed to remember.

[Poit]

YAAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!!!

[Dark One]

Naomi...

http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljxof8yqtD1qd4d8u.gif

[ClockShot]

Ooooh. Banks, too.

[GD]

I am very excite

[Dark One]

Haha. Love Steph's settle call out to the fact that Naomi basically stole a fraction of Sasha's entrance/glasses.

[Dark One]

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mawob6DR641rt6249o1_500.gif

[Lock Jaw]

And now for no reason, here's Bayley to hug everyone!

[owenbrown]

what the fuck is going on here?!

[#1-norm-fan]

lol Just tuned in. What's going on right now? Is there about to be a 3 vs 3 vs 3 match?

[Savio]

Is Sasha with Naomi because she is dark skinned?

[Poit]

If only Bayley wasn't injured. :(

[owenbrown]

Is this Bizarro WWE?

[Poit]

Is Sasha with Naomi because she is dark skinned?

Duh.

[#1-norm-fan]

Is Alicia Fox a Bella now? Gonna be awesome when she participates in twin magic.

[Lock Jaw]

Whoa damn.... this shot....

[GD]

Too emotional

[Corndad]

Did he just as WRESTLING???

[Emperor Smeat]

That was pretty great overall.

[Poit]

A big chant for submission finishers from a trio of women.

And backstage, Natalya sheds a single tear.

[Corndad]

And we end with of all Things the Total Divas theme lol

[Dark One]

[el bobbo]

Is this like a complete reset of the entire division? That would be cool. If it's as good as NXT then it might be able to help them out in the ratings.

[Dark One]

Okay. I'm spent.

Nikki had a point. No real threat in the Divas division. Good idea to bring in some fresh faces.

[Lock Jaw]

If only Bayley wasn't injured. :(

Didn't know she was injured again... seems to get injured a lot....

Bayley wouldn't have really fit in with any of these groups... Would need a fourth "unaffiliated" team....

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

That was boss.

[#1-norm-fan]

I'm really happy they are here but am I the only one kinda pissed Steph had to be involved in all this?

Probably. A McMahon being involved in any angle automatically takes it to another level. Nothing wrong with it at all.

[Corndad]

Probably. A McMahon being involved in any angle automatically takes it to another level. Nothing wrong with it at all.

True but I feel her being there was weird and out of place. They are positioning the NXT Divas to be babyfaces. Who introduces them? The biggest Heel Female they have. Just off to me.

[Poit]

Didn't know she was injured again... seems to get injured a lot....

Bayley wouldn't have really fit in with any of these groups... Would need a fourth "unaffiliated" team....

Yeah, she has a broken hand from a match with Emma, I believe.

WIG SPLITTN' TIME!

IKR? I'm probably the only one more upset about that than you. I just KNOW it was the only reason Steph left her out in the cold.

Oh, Fate, thou art a most cruel, cruel, evil mistress...:'(

Maybe she makes a surprise permanent appearance @ BattleGround Sunday or on next Monday's RAW? If not we'll probably have to wait until at least SummerSlam...UGH.

[Emperor Smeat]

Don't get why Bo Dallas hasn't been made an actual member of New Day yet. Same type gimmicks and him acting as an inspirational manager from time to time would help.

[Poit]

True but I feel her being there was weird and out of place. They are positioning the NXT Divas to be babyfaces. Who introduces them? The biggest Heel Female they have. Just off to me.

Would it be similarly strange for a face authority figure to introduce a heel?

Bayley will debut after this Diva War is threatening to tear everybody apart.... which is when Bayley arrives on the scene and diffuses everything via hugs.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Bayley wouldn't have really fit in with any of these groups... Would need a fourth "unaffiliated" team....

Pfft, she would've fit in just fine in that segment.

Oh. I thought you were just saying "fuck Stephanie for interjecting herself in their moment."

Yes, storyline-wise there was plenty wrong with it. Stephanie's issues with The Bella Twins not being the least of them. But anything The Bellas are involved in makes no fucking sense whatsoever so I've stopped noticing.

[Tom Guycott]

Mark Henry: Wig Splitter for Hire

New series on WWE Network!

[Corndad]

Would it be similarly strange for a face authority figure to introduce a heel?

Depends the type of Heel I guess. I mean I could see a Heel try and get in with the Authority for an easier ride . That could work but Heels usual don't agree with Faces. It's kinda the whole basis of this whole Sports Entertainment thing.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Bayley runs in and hits someone with her cast.

Knowing Vince/Steph/Trips if she still needs it by then, it will probably just lead them to keep her off the main roster.

I know it's not anybody's fault tonight wasn't her night, but it was very frustrating for me watching the other 3 most talked about NXT Divas get called up tonight just to try and make any potential divas match Sunday marginally less boring.

[Corndad]

Oh. I thought you were just saying "fuck Stephanie for interjecting herself in their moment."

Yes, storyline-wise there was plenty wrong with it. Stephanie's issues with The Bella Twins not being the least of them. But anything The Bellas are involved in makes no fucking sense whatsoever so I've stopped noticing.

I think that is my issue. Damn Common Sense and Logic gets me every time. lol

[Lock Jaw]

I wonder if the main show will now feature more than one Diva storyline at a time.

Would be a shame to call up these divas to have only whichever one is fighting for the title at the time being featured/in a story, while the others are pushed into the background.

Is that really the 11th commandment? This bible thing might be for me after all.

Maybe for the short term but little confidence after the faction feud is over it won't go back to just Champ vs Diva Du Jour as the main focus. Probably nothing big changes until after Nikki breaks the record or the WWE decides to do it with one of the newer callups instead.

Vince and Creative would need to rehaul a lot of its thinking with the Divas to get any long term changes.

[Tom Guycott]

I think it was established last week that while it actually is not the 11th commandment ("Thou shalt not FUCK with The Dudley Boys!"), Brock can conquer and co opt whatever commandment he damn well pleases.

[Lock Jaw]

Plus they would actually need to make a spot for it on the show, at the expense of cutting time from something involving male competitors.

If they were better with managing their hours, see no reason why they can't just have one feud be the focus for each show they have. RAW gets a feud, Smackdown gets its own, and the champ feud goes between both shows.

Same really for all their divisions when thinking about it.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Truth

[Dark One]

As if to underscore everyone's fears about the Diva call ups. They have the former leader of an invasion faction that everyone was sure was going to be a world champion lose to a guy who's using a used toilet plunger as a scepter.

Yeah, but since they don't care about Smackdown, it would need to be on RAW.

[Lock Jaw]

What the heck is gonna be the last match on this show.... I know contract signing is the "main event".... but still...

[#1-norm-fan]

Is it just me or have Cenas reactions been pretty strong lately?

[Dark One]

I hope Cena/Cesaro have a 90 minute match now.

[Tom Guycott]

Is it just me or have Cenas reactions been pretty strong lately?

That's what happens when you turn off the autopilot and turn up the throttle. Even "Cena Wins LOL" has a bit more stakes now, because he is being humanized.

The "John Cena suuuuuuucks! And dueling chants are getting to Kurt Angle "You Suck!" Territory, where people who are even supporters are doing it out of love.

[Tom Guycott]

Ugh... allow me to quote Bray Wyatt... "Anyone but you."

[Savio]

Now Cena can win 5 straight.

[Tom Guycott]

That "hang on a second" sounded like "hang on, faggot"

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Rusev

Let Cesaro and Rusev be added on Sunday and let Owens/Cena end at SummerSLam.

So is Cesaro a tweener or cool heel?

Remember that time Neville had John Cena "on the ropes" and was seemingly about to "beat him" but Rusev cost him the match?

If only he showed the kind of initiative that Cesaro has....

[Lock Jaw]

Hardly seems fair....

[Lock Jaw]

Rusev looks weird with shoes.... I mean, I guess it is better than breaking his foot again....

[Dark One]

Rusev being in this match is killing my dream match boner.

[Lock Jaw]

Nah, love Rusev...

[Corndad]

I hate what happened to Tyson but this is so awesome Cesaro is getting this shot.

[GD]

Mad love for Cesaro

[Tom Guycott]

*this* is how you get Cesaro over. He doesn't need some goofy gimmick or dumbass promos. Let his work speak for itself, and keep him on TV... unlike his post-Andre trophy win.

And for goodness sake, get the man some better music!

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch. Rusev landed right on Ceasro's neck from that suplex.

Cena sounds like he's going to fall asleep at any moment.

[Lock Jaw]

Torn here.... don't want to see Rusev lose his first match back.... but don't want Cesaro to lose either....

[Lock Jaw]

Either way, the winner is going to lose to John Cena later tonight, so I dunno....

I just hope they don't do the "requiste" TK is jealous and they feud when he returns angle. Let them still be friends and Kidd gets a singles push as well. And, possibly, they hold both singles gold and tag team championchiaaa

[Corndad]

Agreed. The Jealous Returning Partner thing has been done to nausea. That would at least be something fresh.

[Lock Jaw]

I bet Owens comes back....

[owenbrown]

Kevin Owens is going to come back and steal the win isn't he?

[Corndad]

Owens wins this. Cesaro costs him later match. Triple Threat at Battleground. Do it.

[Volare]

Bullet Train Uppercut (should call that running one that)

[Lock Jaw]

I don't think that was how that ending was supposed to go....

Or Rusev. :|

[Emperor Smeat]

Cesaro-Rusev was really good.

[Tom Guycott]

Shit. Newfound respect for Rusev. He has stepped up in this match.

[Lock Jaw]

Sad Cesaro Lost.... Glad that Rusev didn't lose his first match back.... Sad that Rusev is going to lose his second match back....

[DAMN iNATOR]

Owens probably gonna come back out, fuck over Rusev...

True. But I'd rather they go straight Malenko and ditch the French rapping. If they're high on the sirens, keep that as his "signature", but tempo match it to fade into the theme.

She's gotta be due soon though. Hopefully as soon as not only her cast is gone, but also back to 100%.

[Tom Guycott]

Wonder how much Rusev is selling; or if Rusev is really gassed.

Also wonder if we'll see the West Newberry, Massachusetts Destroyer tonight.

[Lock Jaw]

Really odd match.... Feel like John Cena is the heel....

[Emperor Smeat]

This match would make a lot more sense if Cena was a heel. Takes advantage of a weak opponent after grueling match for the easy and cheap title defense.

Instead of ending it quickly, just keep attacking the guy to humiliate him.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Dunno @Guycott. It's a shame they won't go as long as Cesaro v. Cena last week because of the stupid contract signing BS, but I suppose they DO have to build Sunday's main event...*SIGH*

[DAMN iNATOR]

Owens any second...

[Tom Guycott]

Nice. Fucking. Spot.

[DAMN iNATOR]

FUCK. Knew that BS...:nono::n:

[Lock Jaw]

Kevin Owens always looks like he has trouble breathing

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Rusev beat Cena ... sure it wasn't a title change but the losing streak is over.

[Tom Guycott]

Really odd match.... Feel like John Cena is the heel....

He is doing a lot of heelish, super-cocky mannerisms. The dancing around, showboating, taking his time with his moves...

[owenbrown]

well unless they swerve us on Sunday... my guess is Kevin Owens is NOT winning the title

[DAMN iNATOR]

Would be retarded now if all the build for Owens v. Cena was for nothing...better not be.

I actually think they've been doing everything possible to make it seem that he's guaranteed to win the US title. IMO the swerve would actually be Owens not winning via pin or submission Sunday.

But seriously, he needs to.

[owenbrown]

ok those fucking the real cost commercials are stupider than ever

[Tom Guycott]

Pimp Kane.

I laughed harder than I should have at that bullshit.

[Tom Guycott]

What?

*looks weird in heels

[Lock Jaw]

I think someone screws Owens out of the title on Sunday. Cesaro, Rusev... both.... Turnabout is fair play.

Summerslam then has a "big match" set with all three/four guys.
