Sounds like a fun/eventful show!

SPOILER: show


* Fatal 5-Way graphic shown on the titantron. Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Mustafa Ali, AJ Styles and an unknown opponent will compete tonight to determine who's facing Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble.

Mr. Nerfect 12-29-2018 10:23 PM

Sounds a lot better than Raw. They are really trying to put Becky into position.

Lock Jaw 12-29-2018 10:52 PM

Will def watch this show

RP 12-29-2018 11:17 PM

That Mandy Rose part just made me cum in my own mouth.

Fignuts 12-29-2018 11:36 PM

Gonna watch the Becky/Cena stuff. Sounds good.

SlickyTrickyDamon 12-29-2018 11:59 PM

So Raw looks shite and Smackdown looks good. Normal.

Evil Vito 12-30-2018 12:19 PM

Sounds like a much better show than Raw.

Styles winning makes me groan, though. He's amazing and that reaction is not at all a reflection of him but rather the manner in which they book their title programs. They managed to make me completely sick of Styles/Nakamura and Styles/Joe by the end of their programs, and now Styles/Bryan is probably gonna follow along that same path.

Lock Jaw 12-30-2018 03:06 PM

Styles/Nakamura I loved throughout the feud..... Styles/Joe I had had enough from pretty much the first match due to the whole family angle.....

Savio 12-30-2018 03:18 PM

Rey vs DB would have been a good choice for me.

Fignuts 12-30-2018 03:52 PM

Yeah, Rey would have been a lot more fun at this point.

Lock Jaw 12-30-2018 03:57 PM

No desire in the slightest to see Rey in the main events

Fignuts 12-30-2018 04:05 PM

As champion? No. As an occasional challenger to mix things up and put on a great match? Fuck yes.

XL 12-30-2018 04:11 PM

Rumble is perfect for that too as it’s not the main event. I mean, the WWE Championship is rarely THE main event, but you know what I mean.

SlickyTrickyDamon 12-30-2018 04:22 PM

Would have been a good spot to put in the new guy.

My thoughts entirely.

slik 12-30-2018 08:06 PM

Agreed. Rumble is a great time to do main-events you wouldn't really do otherwise since the big focus is on the Rumble itself.

No one really complained when they did Bob Holly vs Lesnar for the title at a Rumble 'back in the day' bc of that.

Mr. Nerfect 12-30-2018 08:08 PM

I'm not entirely sure that Styles isn't going to win the belt back. I can see them wanting to use his loss to Bryan and stuff with Vince to "boost him." I know he wants reduced time and all that, but Styles vs. Orton feels more like a WWE Title match than Bryan vs. Michaels does (if those are the matches scheduled). I can kind of see Bryan's run being just a way to get people talking about him again and make people think he can win the belt at any time (kind of like Edge).

My money would be on Bryan retaining, but Styles would actually get something out of winning the belt from Bryan. He'd look like a guy who continually improves and solves his issues, which they might want if they plan to build SmackDown around him.

slik 12-30-2018 08:11 PM

I think Bryan retains until WM. No clue who he'll face there.

I don't buy the HBK-DBry rumors. HBK returning and randomly getting a World Title match doesn't really make sense.

I thought HBK/Styles was the obvious match, but if it is HBK/Bryan, that's why Bryan losing the belt wouldn't shock me. I guess nothing shocks me with the belt anymore. Conventional wisdom says Bryan retains until Mania, but I can just see Styles winning it and Bryan turning into even more of a deranged psychopath on a mission for the planet heading into WrestleMania because they feel whatever he does is going to be "big enough" without a belt involved.

Evil Vito 12-31-2018 12:06 PM

I don't think HBK is wrestling at Mania at all. I honestly don't think he was bullshitting when he says he's done and that he only fought at Crown Jewel because it was the three guys he trusted most.

Evil Vito 12-31-2018 12:08 PM

Also I second that Bryan/Rey at the Rumble would've been grand, or even a longer Bryan/Ali match. It's fine to pull a match like that for the Rumble to save more "star power" for the Rumble itself.

I know that whoever loses between Bryan/Styles can still enter the Rumble and recent history supports people pulling double duty, but I think Styles could've easily been positioned as one of the match favorites.

Which is hilariously sad to think two of the three most allowed him to land on face. If that's really the last match we get with HBK, well damn, way to shit on what was one of the best retirement matches ever.

owenbrown 01-01-2019 08:12 PM

Bryan doesn't necessarily have to lose it to Styles at the Rumble considering there are 2 more PPVs between the Rumble and WrestleMania (Elimination Chamber(where there's a pretty good chance of a new champion) & Fastlane)

Forgot how bad SmackDown's piped in cheers and crowd reactions used to be at times. WWE rarely makes it sound genuine.

At least its not as bad as that weird moment on RAW last night where either Cole got dubbed a bit by someone else or a post-production commentary line that sounds different like whenever NXT does it for shows.

Sonya's finisher is a suplex DDT that she sort of gives to herself?

That looked like it hurts her more than it did Naomi.

Savio 01-01-2019 08:50 PM

Sonya needs to change her finisher.
