Thus far it seems there are only 4 matches for No Way Out.

Brock vs Eddie
Rey vs Chavo
Jamie Noble vs Nidia
Angle vs Cena vs Big Show

I didn't see anymore announced on the Smackdown spoilers, though they may have been omitted. So what else are they gonna do? I'd say its a pretty good bet we'll see the Bashams get a rematch for the tag titles, but what else are they going to do?


***Smackdown Spoilers below******


Rhyno and Holly had to be pulled apart at the end of their match on Smackdown, maybe we'll see something on the ppv between the two of them.

Bradshaw also took on Shelton Benjamin. Maybe there is a chance the APA will take on WGTT?




So what else do you think they will put on the card? How do they expect people to buy this thing with such little hype other than the appearance of Goldberg? Well with the seemingly predictable main event matches and little else to offer I can definitely say that No Way Out is a ppv that I'm not going to buy.

Well, the key matches have sufficient build.

Eddie-Brock is more about Eddie going after the title, than any huge issue between Brock and Eddie. Then there is the Goldberg factor, which adds to the intrigue of the match.

The CW title match has the backstory of Rey accusing Chavo of assaulting Eddie two weeks ago.

Noble-Nidia is a stupid idea for a match, but thats been building for months.

The #1 contender match was seyt up last week, and gets advanced at the tapings.

So those matches, IMO have a decent amount of build, and really your top 1, 2 maybe 3 matches is what will sell the majority of the buys, the rest of the card is really just filler.

I would agree that they should announce more matches, but I guess with the focus on Mania, some fueds are going to take a backseat.

My guess based on what happened at the tapings is that we'll either get a rematch for the tag titles (which is a long standing fued) and maybe a WGTT vs APA match (#1 contenders match at Mania?), or a 4 way with the aforementioned teams. I would also expect to see Holly vs Rhyno, hopefully with Rhyno going over, but I wont hold my breath.

It could be a deal where they have yet to decide how many to put on the show and on Thurs we'll see a graphic with some of these matches included.

It's one thing to only have four or five matches at a split PPV, but on a single brand PPV, there should be seven or eight matches at least getting good exposure.

The only thing is that SD! has been building to WM so well that they've basically neglected NWO, because they have to build up the WM storylines. Since SD! has half the slots of a typical PPV, they've only been promoting enough angles to fill half a PPV.
