Kalisto beat Ryback!?

Yeah what the fuck? That can't be right? Is his and Owen's feud still going on?

Lol if it's Kane/Taker vs Rowan/Harper and they wasted the opportunity to have Bray in the Tournament

Lol if the final is Kalisto vs Neville

Seriously Kane and Undertaker vs the wyatts needs to be a 4 on 4 elimination match, and seriously Kalisto beats Ryback?!? What universe are we in.

I called Kalisto beating Ryback. They want Hispanic stars badly, and I think they'll want to spotlight Del Rio and Kalisto against each other. Ryback is on his way down again, because he sort of isn't working.

Ryback should and could be working.

Probably. I'm not his biggest fan, but I do see value. That being said, he just came off that IC Title program he shouldn't have won with Kevin Owens.

Automatic rematches are so fucking stupid in wrestling. It dries up the match's appeal and if a face loses the title, then they essentially have to get beaten twice or get screwed in an unimaginative way that doesn't help either him or the champion. Ryback is the latest to suffer a tiny bit from that.

That and being complete outshone by Owens.

That was my very first thought after reading


what the fuck ?

I still struggle to believe that WWE screwed up Ryback's push in 2012.

Everyone has read these Kalisto beating Ryback spoilers, and this weeks Smackdown will probably now have the highest rating the show has ever had.

After he lost to Punk in the Cell it was kinda downhill after that(I keep thinking he should've won that) and had Punk just absolutely pissed and obsessed with getting it back.

They clearly want Kalisto to be a guy, guys. Don't stress.

Also, Del Rio vs. Kalisto is going to be far better than Del Rio vs. Ryback.

Punk vs. Ryback in the cell was a bad idea at the start. The PPV actually drew and all that, but they had booked themselves into a corner. Still, the moment they truly fucked up with Ryback was at WrestleMania 29.

No owen white? Weak!

NO TAPE

Oh I'm not saying its bad just a shock.

Possibly building to that with the main event? The Usos with Kane and Taker against all four of them?

Means they can do a tag feud after and something like Strowman/Kane and Taker/Wyatt.

Also means that Usos can do the heavy workload in the match.

Ryback seems like such a nice guy and humble when he is on those show, feel so bad for him. He has been devolved into a rainbow clad, goofy idiot.

Ryback getting the shock upset feels just like what happened to him at Mania. Guess the WWE suddenly lost all interest in Ryback again and probably safe to assume he's going to do nothing meaningful for a while now.


WWE should have done something similar to this for RAW's ending instead of having Taker and Kane show up and easily beat up the Wyatts.

Ryback not only lost..but he lost on his birthday lol

Yeah, what?

:(

WWE is really dumb, guys.

Seriously, how can they have fucked up so badly with Ryback, tried to save it, and then fucked up again? They're really clueless in a way that professional television writers have no business being.

Damn Ryback's stock has fallen...

He couldn't get a work visa for England.

Kane and Taker are not exactly guys who are portrayed as having tons of friends. Sure they could have added a couple guys to Taker and Kane, but it dilutes the story.

WWE clearly building Ryback and Fandango to join Team Taker with this booking.

The WWE Universe

No what dilutes the story is having Taker and Kane show up and whip 4 men's ass. Should have kept Taker and Kane away til Survivor Series and had them wreck Brays chances at winning the title.

Is anyone else totally not interested/excited about the Brothers of Destruction? Or is it just me?

Apart from the countless times they've come on and gone, I don't care about Undertaker's old, wash-up ass with his saggy man-tits, nor do I care about "Demon Kane" who after years of being a mid-carder/main-event jobber is invincible again (...again) and everyone is scared of him (I know you have to suspend disbelief but this is just retarded).

Whole story just seems rushed and boring and typical WWE "dunno what to do fuck it bring back the Brothers of Destruction yay that'll work for now".

I would have been super excited about it if they were kept off TV for longer than they were, or at the very least didn't beat down the entire Wyatt Family already.

Same here, it was the most compelling storyline going til they brought back Kane and Taker. I went from being solely interested in that program to not even caring about any of it.

I could get re-invested into it, though, depending on how they handle it from here..... and if they do go for a "Soul on a Pole" Match...

So what Kane would you prefer?

Not saying he should've won the tournament, but I think they missed an opportunity to build Barrett back up a little bit by jobbing him to Neville.

I think he could've been put up against either Ryback or Owens in his first round match, picked up a surprise victory and then whichever of them he beat costs him in, I dunno the semis, which would set up an IC or US title chase for him beginning at Survivor Series.

You then have Barrett win IC or US gold, say at Fastlane, turn him into a workrate machine, defending his title against all comers, let him run with the IC or US title until SummerSlam, then have him drop it to whoever. Next phase, you put him with the main eventers, and after working in that scene for a bit, maybe he enters the 2017 Rumble, wins and goes on to become the first English WWE WHC in company history @ WM 33.

Just a thought.

If Barrett's badass underground fighter vignettes when he was coming back from injury didn't build him up as a long term star, WWE is just incapable of following up on anything. There's only so many times they can start something and then go "derp" before it becomes a serious issue with the ability to write the simplest shit.

I know. Just pipe dreaming, I guess.
