Raw/SD/NXT/PPV Spoiler Thread part 7

[AfroThunder396]

You say that like Okada vs Tanahashi was a nothing match.

There's probably no match in the history of everything that should have been above that.

Reigns vs. Lesnar, duh

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Local ads advertise Owens (w/HHH) vs. Rollins (w/Foley & Steph) as the main event for Clash of Champions.

 

[GKJ]

Not that we didn't already know it, but I don't get why they do this in local markets. Yes you promote it there, but this is also 2016, it's obviously going to get out as a spoiler.

 

[ColePens]

Agreed GKJ. And also - why the **** do we need HHH/Steph/etc. to be involved. Let Owens run and have a separate angle.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

this is going to be all about yet another mcmahon power struggle, a storyline that's been rehashed a million times

 

[M.C.G. 31]

It's not a title match in the "new era" post-split without the authority figures sitting at ringside like geeks.

 

[Mitchy]

Screw the authority figures. Let Owens have his own feud and not be someone's puppet.

 

[GKJ]

Don't worry, with MNF coming up, if the lead angle is a McMahon power struggle, those ratings will go through the floor, and guess who gets to come out on top since he was waiting around in the upper mid-card because of a wellness suspension

And the ratings would remain through the floor if that upper-midcarder comes out on top.

 

[GKJ]

And the ratings would remain through the floor if that upper-midcarder comes out on top.

But they'd already be there. In Vince's mind, it wouldn't be his fault and would use it for justification to push him again when that would've happened anyways - after MNF is over!

 

[Emperoreddy]

Good lord would the crowd reaction be bad if Roman took the belt off KO.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

The problem is that Reigns hasn't been in the upper midcard. Has he not been in the main event spot each of the past three Raws? I have more confidence that Reigns remains in the main event spot even with KO having the title. lol

 

[Emperoreddy]

The plan is for Roman to resume his feud with Rusev once he returns from his time off for the wedding.

 

[OmniSens]

I would love nothing but for Roman to win the title cheaply off KO. The heat would be unbelievable. Maybe win it by officially somehow turning heel.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Agreed GKJ. And also - why the **** do we need HHH/Steph/etc. to be involved. Let Owens run and have a separate angle.

Because it actually makes sense if this is the case. Steph is making a **** show of RAW (and also hadning seth countless free oppurtunities) Triple H is an NXT guy and wants his "kids" to succeed.

If this is Face Triple H and KO vs Heel steph and Seth (which is what it looks like judging from the ads) i like it. It's fresh, it's enjoyable etc. There probably wasn't any other beliveable way to make KO face anyway so it makes perfect sense.

also, no one and i mean NO ONE would have called this. "KO is gonna win the title AND turn face in the process"

nobody.

and i like it that way.

 

[GKJ]

It's definitely not face Triple H. Triple H actually wouldn't turn himself face, it would be done by Stephanie dumping Foley making her heel. But I do think if the angle is 'NXT invasion' then he should be face.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Agreed GKJ. And also - why the **** do we need HHH/Steph/etc. to be involved. Let Owens run and have a separate angle.

This sucked a lot of the joy out of Owens's title win for me because it was obviously just going to be a vehicle for more McMahon bs.

 

[ColePens]

^ I was stupid enough to think it would spin two separate feuds. Rollins vs. HHH and Owens vs. a new contender. Owens/Jericho could have been hilarious together. Could have opened up the following --

Owens vs. _____ for title. Give Owens someone he can beat and start his reign with. Sheamus/Cesaro/returning star/Bully Ray/Swagger/Henry/Big Show.. Anyone that Owens can easily take down but gives him a solid opening 1-2 matches for the feud.

Rollins vs. HHH. HHH can keep putting him in **** matches and trying to frustrate Rollins. Rollins could keep dominating and getting over as a mega face. Defeats HHH at Survivor Series to earn a title shot.,

Jericho vs. Sami (Sami saying he deserves a shot for beating Owens clean.. Jericho steps in)

I understand who we all are here in this forum, but it's not like you were supposed to be all that thrilled Owens won the title as a mark. Hunter came in and blew up the match and gave you a dirty finish. You're supposed be pissed. It's just a lot of us aren't because KO getting the title supersedes the finish.

Rollins vs. Hunter has to be Wrestlemania, right? It's such a long build, but with a brand split, they're going to run out of things for Seth.

 

[ColePens]

Definitely Wrestlemania would make sense, but that's a damn long time from now. That's why I felt it would just be at SS.

 

[GKJ]

It's either that for Seth, or crossing your fingers that Balor is ready for Wrestlemania for the rematch. But if Seth is face now, you can't turn him back heel that quick.

 

[Blanick]

My biggest fear is that this story will be more about steph/hhh and less about Owens and Rollins. I can totally see wwe making this a HHH is mad that Steph picked Foley over him and did what he did to get back at her. Meanwhile Owens and Rollins become the secondary pieces off a authority feud.

Oh god that's what is going to happen isn't it? I'm scared.

Hunter is the COO. He's above both of them. If he'd be mad about anything it's that he feels they keep screwing things up.

 

[Emperoreddy]

The plan is to eventually do Seth/HHH.

And despite the pop HHH is heel.

Wouldn't be the first time WWE booking makes no sense.
