Could just be the WWE forgetting to update things but suppossedly Cena and AJ Styles are teased to be appearing for tonight's show. Ambrose is another Smackdown star also teased but at least he has the excuse of being the WWE champion as a reason.

Simple Fan 07-25-2016 06:41 PM

AJ could be Gallows and Anderson's guest while Cena is Enzo and Cass's.

Droford 07-25-2016 06:45 PM

Its be funny they can't even get through 1 RAW without abandoning the split rosters outside of Ambrose.

slik 07-25-2016 06:53 PM

The announce table will be at the top of the ramp instead of at ringside as well

Droford 07-25-2016 06:55 PM

The announce desk is back on the stage a la the good ol TNN days..

Red ropes are back too.

SlickyTrickyDamon 07-25-2016 07:27 PM

Bischoff stealing Foleys job tonight? Why are the seats way up thur?

Evil Vito 07-25-2016 07:30 PM

It would be utter piss if Ambrose, Cena, or Styles show up though. Completely negates the entire point of the draft.

Simple Fan 07-25-2016 07:34 PM

Looks like they didn't get new logos for the ring apron yet.

GD 07-25-2016 07:52 PM

Yay! New logo and theme music confirmed :love:

Steph and Foley gonna address the new roster.

SlickyTrickyDamon 07-25-2016 07:53 PM

Finn confirmed to have a match tonight via the PreShow! \o/

GD 07-25-2016 07:54 PM

Michael Cole referred to the belt as "WWE World title". Weird.

I don't like this, because if I recall from when it happened during the BISCHOFF ERA, it seemed like the announcers' were a bit more disconnected from the action, which already seems to be a problem for Cole/Byron. Graves is used to it though, so I'm hopeful he can get some life out of them.

I will give them props for at least changing some things. Here's to hoping to the death of PRESS X TO RELOAD. BRIGHT LIGHTS HYPE CROWD YEAH WE CAME TO THROW DOWN

Place your bets on how many times I'll get to post "NEW ERA" sarcastically tonight.

Ah. They're taking the WCW approach with the commentator table. A few yards away from the ring.

That is a horrible name.

ClockShot 07-25-2016 08:07 PM

The WWE Universal Championship.

Yeah, okay. :roll:

GD 07-25-2016 08:07 PM

What a garbage name for a Heavyweight Championship :nono: :smh:

Emperor Smeat 07-25-2016 08:07 PM

Now, how long before it gets to the point where I just wanna go to bed?

Dark One 07-25-2016 08:10 PM

Big E doing the boss dance in the corner is an A+ GIF oportunity.

Dark One 07-25-2016 08:10 PM

Opening authority promo, but only 10 minutes and it accomplished something.

I'll give it .5 sarcastic NEW ERAs.

Dark One 07-25-2016 08:11 PM

Club ride along will be the greatest production in the history of the WWE Network.

Droford 07-25-2016 08:12 PM

Can't wait til Smackdown creates tag and womens titles

Emperor Smeat 07-25-2016 08:12 PM

On one hand, at least they didn't pull a Bischoff and just hand the new main title to someone but on the other hand, pretty much pulled a post-MitB 2011 in making last night's WWE title match meaningless in terms of impact.

Simple Fan 07-25-2016 08:13 PM

Good choice for the new theme. WWE Universal Championship sounds dumb. I guess it's not a Heavyweight title. Will just seem off with the WWE Women's title on Raw with out the WWE title after they just made them similar. I'd Smackdown going to create a WWE Universal Women's title?

Locke 07-25-2016 08:13 PM

What the fuck was the criteria for being picked to be in the Fatal Four Way matches. Insane favoritism amongst the GMs... there should be riots

ClockShot 07-25-2016 08:14 PM

Mind your step, Double-O 'Saro.

Evil Vito 07-25-2016 08:14 PM

Opening promo only took 10 minutes and actually accomplished something, so that's a step in the right direction.

I mean, I understand them not wanting to just bring back the old World Heavyweight Championship...but did they really need to come up with such a horrendous name? Wouldn't Raw World Championship have been different enough? I guess the problem with that is that in future years they couldn't really ever have the Raw World Championship get drafted away but still. Terrible name.

"Universal Title" does not sounds any better the more they say it.

Just use this.

Well damn

Dark One 07-25-2016 08:16 PM

Welp, guess we know who's winning this one.

Savio 07-25-2016 08:17 PM

I like his entrance

Dark One 07-25-2016 08:17 PM

Balor's already more over than the new title name.

Dark One 07-25-2016 08:18 PM

Awful lot of dong in that entrance.

More dong than the Undertaker's entrance.

Savio 07-25-2016 08:19 PM

I wish they just had a tourney, this whole thing seems odd.

ClockShot 07-25-2016 08:19 PM

I really hope Anderson & Gallows come out and spectate.

SlickyTrickyDamon 07-25-2016 08:19 PM

Intergalactic Champion

They don't have enough time for 7 matches

Evil Vito 07-25-2016 08:21 PM

Man I'd be so happy if they go with something other than Rollins/Reigns at SummerSlam. The crowd would surely crap on Reigns going over any of these four in the main event tonight.

Finn Balor entrance, need to lay down now lol

Also, "WWE Universal Championship" sounds like something a 7-year-old would name their custom championship title belt in SvR.

Things that are more over than "WWE Universal Championship"

1. Roman Reigns.
2. Eva Marie
3. Naked Mideon
4. Jillian Hall's singing
5. Awkward Subway Product Placement
6. The Diva Search
7. Armbar

More dong than the Undertaker's entrance.

Maybe that's why Steph picked him personally to be in the Fatal Fourway x2 #1 Contendership match for the Seth Rollins Universal title Invitational #1 Contendership match.

Seth Rollins is her #1 RAW draft pick and Balor's dong is her #1 RAW dong pick.
