[Savio]

Kinda amped tonight not sure why.


Edit: Live not Love

[KIRA]

Hometown boy

So what match is he losing

[ClockShot]

So let's see where they go with this.

Bryan still got enough juice in the company to get himself out of Crown Jewel like Cena?

[Savio]

House of Horrors match plz

[ClockShot]

Hi Shane! Missed you!:kiss:

[slik]

Shane O Mac is here

[slik]

AJ Styles vs DBry will happen TONIGHT instead of at #CancelCrownJewel

[ClockShot]

So that's the out.

[KIRA]

[slik]

This crowd is 10x hotter than the bored one at #CancelCrownJewel will be

[ClockShot]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.

That match was great.

[ClockShot]

Hi Joe.

Nice Levi's.

[slik]

Great match!

AJ retains when DBry taps out to the calve crusher

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

clear punishment for not going to crown jewel. Good match though.

[erickman]

crap match time

[ClockShot]

WHAT THE?!

THE BROOD!

Sorta.

[KIRA]

A match the world waited to see but it's about 20 years too late

[slik]

BROOD Day

[Sepholio]

Damn I legit marked out when the Brood music hit. Let down :(

[KIRA]

I'm going to cry

[ClockShot]

I was totally hoping Big Show was coming dress up as a Titan from Destiny.

[KIRA]

And here I was hoping Big Show it come out as the New Year's baby

[erickman]

big show should be the yeati

[ClockShot]

THE MIST!

[KIRA]

That was four

[Savio]

Nice how Jeff and Orton can exist in the same room together.

[KIRA]

big show should be the yeati

ahem it's pronounced YET-AY

[ClockShot]

If John Cena can get booted off Crown Jewel world cup tournament "just because". Then Rey Mysterio shouldn't be in it for not meeting the minimum height requirements.

[KIRA]

Jeff is always wearing Halloween makeup and Miz is always dress like the Hokage so no outfit necessary

[KIRA]

It doesn't speak well for this company when somebody like Nakamura can be put on the back burner while being a champion

[slik]

Shane announces whoever loses at Crown Jewel in the World Cup finals for SDLive will be fired

[ClockShot]

Mysterio can go away...…….again.

Same goes with Jeff Hardy...……….again.

[ClockShot]

And there's Daniel Bryan's out.

[slik]

R-Truth vs Nakamura

[erickman]

dance brake

[ClockShot]

C'mon Nakamura. Kick his head off so Becky can get her time and I can turn in for the night.

[ClockShot]

Thank you.

[KIRA]

That knee was terrible

[slik]

Naka wins

[Savio]

Nice promo :)

[erickman]

gave up on becky heel and are making her baby

[xrodmuc316]

It doesn't speak well for this company when somebody like Nakamura can be put on the back burner while being a champion

It's cause the writers are horrible and should all be fired

[Savio]

Nice to see the guy from Oz is still 'making' TV shows

[Lock Jaw]

:heart: Becky Lynch.

Think she is the most interesting/entertaining worker in the company right now.

[slik]

I fell asleep and missed the main event

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Watched a 3 minute clip of Becky's promo. Was there ever a thing about her having issues on the mic, because she seemed comfy and confident tonight.

[Evil Vito]

So if the SmackDown finalist loses, they're fired

Orton going to Raw feels pretty likely

[Evil Vito]

I like Joe and I like Styles, but I've had more than my fill of them wrestling each other this year.

[Droford]

Shane announces whoever loses at Crown Jewel in the World Cup finals for SDLive will be fired

That only has meaning if Corbin Saud the sane on Raw..

[Big Vic]

I like Joe and I like Styles, but I've had more than my fill of them wrestling each other this year.I hear but it's a tight pinch.... their best option.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

"Becky has an edge to her character and isn't a complete loser-ass fucking dork, she must be a heel" - WWE creative

[Lock Jaw]

Watched a 3 minute clip of Becky's promo. Was there ever a thing about her having issues on the mic, because she seemed comfy and confident tonight.

She's always been good, but most of her good promos came on WWE.com or Talking Smack, while on TV she just had to do the generic "smiley face" promos. When she actually got the opportunity to speak.

[Lock Jaw]

There was also "newz" about Kevin Dunn hating her accent and not wanting her to speak ever (or much).

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Accent isn't bad. It's not like we can't understand what she's saying. I thought her promo and overall cadence last night was pretty good

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

She did Sam Roberts' show and she's articulate as hell. Plus yeah, her promos recently have been very good. Like... they don't sound written... sounds like she's actually saying it.

I'm not saying she's MEGA STAR MAIN STREAM material, but she's doing quite well. Better than any other woman. IMO though Ronda is where the money is, but that doesn't mean Becky can't be the Rock to her Austin.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Exactly. Two badass women from completely different walks of life can coexist.

[Fignuts]

She's the reason we all fell in love with wrestling. A character with a personality and swagger that is uniquely their own.

I don't know how much of her promos are written for her, but if they are, she does what most of the roster can't by making it her own. Its not just the savage burns that make her awesome, but her delivery, mannerisms, and facial expressions.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

there's no way they aren't written but she's figured out how to make them authentic.

[Cool King]

So if the SmackDown finalist loses, they're fired

Orton going to Raw feels pretty likely

I was actually thinking The Miz.

I think the bracket will look like this in the end:

[Rollins]
--------------------[Lashley]
[Lashley]
--------------------[Angle]
[Angle]
--------------------[Angle]
[Ziggler]

--------------------[Angle]

[Hardy]
--------------------[Miz]
[Miz]
--------------------[Miz]
[Mysterio]
--------------------[Mysterio]
[Orton]

[Savio]

Nooo keep Miz on SDL

[Fignuts]

Didn't he just move there fairly recently?

Orton or Hardy makes a lot more sense to me.

[Cool King]

The Miz did move to SmackDown in April (even though it feels like he's been there much longer) but I just can't imagine Orton or Hardy getting fired by Shane though.

Hardy being fired by Shane wouldn't really make Shane look good. They're both faces and a face firing a face just doesn't make that much sense to me as it would hurt Shane in a way and make him look bad, unless it's the beginning of a heel turn for Shane (which I doubt).

If it does happen, then Hardy's firing is going to be this "Shane: You're fired. Hardy: I understand." deal and that's just really boring. This stipulation of being fired wouldn't have been added pretty much at the last moment if something noteworthy wasn't going to come out of it.

Orton being fired by Shane does make more sense than Hardy but at the same time, Orton right now is this big sadistic bully and I can't imagine Orton being fired by Shane and then just accepting it and leaving.

That wouldn't really do his gimmick any favours and he can't really throw a tantrum or scream "noooo" whilst being forced out as that isn't the kind of heel Orton is. That's more of something The Miz would do. If it does happen and Orton is fired, then Orton will definitely do something to Shane as a way of keeping the gimmick up as he transitions to Raw. If he doesn't and then just accepts his firing, then I can only assume that he'll appear on Raw as a face but (probably) with his sadistic side intact.

The Miz being fired by Shane just makes the most sense to me. Miz is always going on about how great he is and getting to the finals of a tournament to "determine the best in the world" has The Miz written all over it. The Miz losing to Angle in the final would give Miz something to cry about and his firing will be one of those "hey hey hey goodbye" moments on SmackDown next week.

The Miz could then appear on Raw the next week holding the claim the he's the best active superstar on the roster (as Angle is not an active competitor and just a GM, unless that changes) as he got to the finals of the tournament. I can also see him moving to Raw as a way to have him chase the Universal Championship. The Miz has been excellent for so long now but I get the feeling that Vince & Co. don't want to put the WWE Championship on him for various reason but they're happy enough to give him the Universal Championship instead.

There also doesn't seem to be anything left for him on SmackDown. He's had his feud with Daniel Bryan, which I'm sure was the main reason why he was moved to SmackDown, and there isn't really any titles he can go for as the WWE Championship is out of the question for him (as I mentioned why) and the US Championship is being held by a fellow heel in Nakamura and either one of them turning face wouldn't work as they're both doing great jobs as heels at the moment, so risking one of them accidentally turning during the fued isn't really a good idea and finally, I think having The Miz chase the Tag Team Championships would actually hurt him, so Raw seems like the only option for him if Vince & Co. don't want him to drift off into obscurity.

Also, I know that this is way into the future but having The Miz as the loudmouth, arrogant, cocky, chicken shit heel that he is as Universal Champion, and then having a returning Roman Reigns beat the shit out of him and take back "his title", sounds like something Vince (and possibly the fans) would love. Vince has already had Reigns defeat "powerful enemies" such as Strowman and Lesnar, so this would be another route to go down.

Orton loses. Shane fires him. RKO. Moves to Raw.

[XL]

I could see Jeff or Rey moving though to “fill the void” of Roman.
