Subreddit Rules

  • FOLLOW THE SITE WIDE RULES: Please try to adhere to the general spirit of Reddiquette and Reddit Site Rules - remember that there's a human behind the screen! If you have issues with r/WWE rules, message the moderators to address.

  • SPOILER POLICY: Spoiler times run for 24 hours after a TV show or PPV ends. Anything that takes place on a TV show or PPV is a spoiler. It does not matter if it is a “real life event”, if it occurs on a live show or PPV, or is mentioned on a live show or PPV, it meets our definition of “spoiler”. If you post a spoiler, TAG YOUR POST as a spoiler. Do not post spoilers in the title of your posts. Do not post a photo with a spoiler, as not all platforms will hide the photo. While a TV show or live event is in progress, we create a discussion thread for the live event or PPV that is in progress.

  • WHY CAN'T I POST? When a show is live (TV/PPV/ETC), we lock the sub (until the next morning) so posts aren't allowed. This avoids spoilers for those who don't watch live. If you can't post, look to see if a show or PPV is airing live, and that's why.

  • NO TROLLING: Trolling is an instant ban. This includes on the sub and in the chat room. This also includes "WWE sucks, X promotion is better" trolling.

  • REPORT OFFENSIVE/SPAMMY/BAD CONTENT: This subreddit will be a better environment for new/discussion if substandard content is reported. You can send a link to the content via modmail or use Reddit's reporting system to report a post. This sub does not allow racist, offensive or pornographic content, including memes.

  • RESPECT OTHERS: r/WWE does not tolerate bigotry, sexism, racism, homophobia, or transphobia against members, or wrestlers. This includes discussion of male/female violence. We also do not tolerate disrespect or attacks towards r/WWE staff and admins. Disrespecting users will result in a 7 day ban. Disrespecting or attacking moderators and admins will result in a permaban. Disrespecting r/WWE or r/WWE staff on others subs or your personal account/profile will result in a perma ban. Also, attacking people because they like more than just WWE will result in a ban. People are allowed to enjoy and consume any content they desire, and we will not stand for attacks on those who enjoy other promotions.

  • "SHITPOSTING", KARMA FARMING & UNRELATED POSTS/MEMES/APPROPRIATE CONTENT/SEXUALIZING TALENT: Do not post random stuff just for karma. This especially applies to dumb memes that have nothing to do with anything. Admins and moderators reserve the right to remove memes that seem to be pointless. Shitposting will result in a ban. If it doesn't feel like it belongs here, it goes to r/WWEMemes. Also, this isn't a game sub. Video game stuff goes to r/WWEGames. Also, this sub doesn't exist to sexualize women, nor to comment on the appearance of WWE female performers ("hot", "sexy", etc). It's not a sub for "thirst traps", or to post horny pics. There are multiple other subs to obsess over women's bodies, or "who was the hottest" / "who's the hottest", we don't do that here.

  • NO STREAMING SITES: Do not ask for, post or share links to sites streaming PPVs and shows. Links will be deleted as spam and those sharing/asking for illegal stream links will be banned.

  • SELF PROMOTION POLICY: This subreddit does not allow self promotion. Do not use r/wwe to promote your social media, blog, website, Twitch, Discord, YouTube channel, or podcast. Violators will be banned.

  • NO POLITICS: This is a forum for discussion of r/wwe. Regardless of whether or not a US President has been related to WWE in some form, we do not allow political discussion here. There are plenty of subs out there for that. The only exception is when politics has a direct effect on WWE, such as Florida declaring WWE an essential business during the COVID-19 outbreak of 2020.

  • MAJOR TOPICS/MEGATHREADS: When a major event occurs, megathreads will be created to group discussion so they don't overtake the sub. All related discussion (predictions, etc) should be kept in this threads and individual created threads will be locked/removed. If a thread is locked/deleted and the user posts it again, this may lead to a ban. Those who disrespect, attack, or insult mods, staff, or the r/WWE sub for organizing minor threads into a megathread will receive a 7 day ban.

  • LEAKED RESULTS: Do not post leaked results of taped shows.

  • SELLING: Don't use r/WWE to sell your stuff or link to your auctions. This is a discussion forum, not a platform for you to sell your stuff.

  • REPOSTING REMOVED POSTS: If your post is removed, don't repost it, or post "why was my post removed". Review the sub's rules, or PM admin/mod staff at r/WWE to inquire.

  • AEW Discussion: Per the results of a vote by members of this sub, limited AEW discussion is allowed only if it is extremely relevant to WWE. This includes legitimate comparisons, as well as major WWE superstars debuting in AEW. AEW trolling will not be tolerated and those who do so will be banned.

They have went two far with dom

I think the storyline was a good idea but they have went to far now making him go in a cage and letting rhea beat him up when he can't do nothing back which I find a bit unfair. I know I said that rhea and Dom should have a match but that was a joke.

I really think that rhea and Dom are both allowed to find each other equally or the both shouldn't fight each other. I never liked Dom but I feel sad for him getting battered by rhea every week and he can't do anything about it and I have started to dislike rhea because she's just getting annoying now. Idk if this is what they were trying to go for if they did they have done a really good job.

One more AJ match in the retirement tour?

I know there are not enough matches for cena in his retirement tour that we all would love to see happen. There’s too many names to count we would love to see. However for me AJ and cena had unreal chemistry in the ring, as well as their promos. Even if it was a heavily promoted TV match, I would enjoy seeing these two run it back once more.

What about you?

Hot Take

I don't know if this is a Hot Take or not and we know we love how Triple H is handling WWE ever since Vince went away, but Triple H has ruined the tag team division on both Raw and Smackdown. He's fed the World Tag Team Titles to the Judgement Day's Finn Balor and JD McDonagh who barely defend the titles, and he's fed the WWE Tag Team Championships to the Bloodline's Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa(who only got the title because Jacob Fatu surrendered it.) And The Bloodline aren't doing anything special with the titles. At least the Usos made it special when they were in the Bloodline. He's even ruined it on NXT. Nathan Frazier and Axiom were arguing with the whole breakup kf the will they or won't they, and it was way too soon for Ridge Holland to turn heel as they used the titles to break up the tag team of Andre Chase and Holland.

Random PPV Review - St Valentine’s Day Massacre (1999)

Bluedust vs Goldust: [-**]

Bob Holly vs Al Snow: [**1/2]

Mideon vs Big Boss Man: [-***]

Jeff Jarrett & Owen Hart vs D-Lo Brown & Mark Henry: [*3/4]

Ken Shamrock vs Val Venis: [*3/4]

Chyna & Kane vs D-Generation X (Triple H & X-Pac): [**3/4]

Mankind vs The Rock: [***1/2]

Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Mr McMahon: [***]

side notes

  • That opening video package was ART! One of the best they ever did imo

  • Opener was short but borderline unwatchable

  • Hardcore match was some fun but nothing to write home about

  • Mideon vs Bossman was so boring, I almost fell asleep watching

  • Tag match was meh,the angle itself was uninteresting so why would the match be any different ?

  • Special guest referee is a handy device for a personal feud,and it worked here,although the match didn’t pick up until Shamrock lost it with special guest referee Billy Gunn

  • Chyna and Kane vs DX was fairly decent,although I definitely prefer the combination of HHH and Shawn Michaels rather than HHH and X-Pac

  • Last man standing match was the best of the night, although the crowd hated the finish

  • Cage match was good, although dragged at times, I prefer the cage design we have now over the black bar one though. Also had the debut of Paul “Big Show” Wight.

WWE Bad Blood 2024 Last Minute Match Card and Result Predictions

Here is the last minute match card and result prediction:

  1. Nia Jax (c) v/s Bayley v/s Tiffany's Statton's potential MITB cashin
  2. Damien Priest v/s Finn Balor
  3. WWE Women's World Champ: Liv Morgan (c) v/s Rhea Ripley w/ Dominick Mysterio suspended above the ring in a shark cage
  4. Tag Team Match: Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns v/s The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu) (with Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa)
  5. Main Event: CM Punk v/s Drew McIntyre

Explanation:

  1. Looks like this is the last time we will see this match happening. It's been 2 months, and we are tired of seeing Bayley and Jax's feud with Tiff trying to confuse the audience by teasing a cash-in of MITB, when in reality, she never ends up cashing in. If I had to make a prediction, I would say that when Bayley and Jax are down, Tiff comes in and officially cashes in the MITB briefcase. Then Tiff capitalizes on Jax and pins her to finally win the WWE Women's Championship. The reason I say Tiffany Stratton will win is because there was a tense backstage segment between Jax and Stratton, which led to her turning on Jax for upcoming event.
  2. It would have been much nicer if they made this a gimmick match, letting Priest wear an "Archer of Infamy" costume while allowing Finn Balor to come as "The Demon King." Both wrestler's character sounds intense whether it's an original character or their alt ego. One of the way other both wrestler would have still give heck of a match with only Priest coming on the top. However, WWE didn't go route because of their time are pretty tight which lead them booking straight up regular single match. Either way I predict Priest winning.
  3. It would have been much nicer if WWE went with the idea that the winner between Rhea vs. Liv gains custody of Dominick Mysterio. This way, when Rhea wins, she would have gained custody of Mysterio, while Liv would be moaning and trying to file a frivolous lawsuit against the Terror Twins (Ripley & Priest), which they would obviously lose. However, WWE decided to scrap the original idea we speculated on and instead plan for a Liv (c) vs. Rhea match for the Women's World Championship, with Dominick Mysterio being suspended during the match. Mysterio will try to throw brass knuckles to help Liv, but Ripley catches them just in time, capitalizes on Liv, and finally wins back the title she never lost. As for post-match predictions, the feud between the Terror Twins (Priest, Ripley) and Judgment Day (Balor, Morgan, Dom, Carlito, McDonough) will continue, as Balor and Morgan demand a rematch. This leads the Terror Twins to question Dom's loyalty to Judgment Day. After further investigation, Judgment Day discovers that Dom intentionally threw the brass knuckles towards Ripley instead of Morgan, which leads to Dom being booted from Judgment Day. This leaves Balor, Morgan, Dom, Carlito, and McDonough as part of Judgment Day. In the following week, Judgment Day attacks Mysterio 4-on-1, and the Terror Twins, along with a returning Rey Mysterio, come to the rescue, thus reuniting Rey and Dominick Mysterio. This will ultimately lead to a match between Team Judgment Day (Balor, Morgan, Carlito, and McDonough) vs. Team Terror Twins (Priest, Ripley, Rey, and Dominick). Another member may be added to each team, potentially making it a 10-man Survivor Series match, but I will discuss that later as we get closer to the PPV.
  4. Since ‘big dog’ Roman Reigns is on Cody’s side I do see Cody and Roman wins this tag team match against Solo and Jacob Fatu. I don’t think Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa concerns me, as Orton and Owens will take care of them. After Cody and Roman wins, there will be showdown between them where Roman is pointing towards Cody’s WWE title hinting that he wants to face Cody for the rematch in near future especially after Cody gets by few other opponents aside from Bloodline when defending his title
  5. Oo damn, Drew is getting even more cockier and overconfident with bragging about how he has bracelet named 'dog Larry X wife AJ' bracelet. This lead Punk to challenge Drew for strap match, to have him realize that his overconfidence and cockiness will get best of him, which will ultimately happen. Unless Seth Rollins interferes, I'd say CM Punk win this strap match against Mcintyre fair & square to make them 1-1. It's bad enough that Drew has been wearing a bracelet referring to Punk's wife and dog. Now, Drew crossed the line by breaking the bracelet and putting it in Punk's mouth. I swear Punk will do something about it and make Drew pay if things go badly in the match. Remember, Punk said, "McIntyre has to kill him to defeat him." Punk will use all resources, including weapons, to beat Drew senseless. If Drew refuses to back down and tries to get the upper hand on Punk, he might get outside help from an unknown person. Rumors suggest that person is AJ Lee. When asked about returning to WWE, especially for HIAC in Punk’s corner, she replied, "never say never." But who knows, she’s probably messing with the audience and could surprise us at the end of the match. While the chances of AJ making an in-ring return are slim, I think it’s more likely we’ll see Wyatt6 or even his old pal Wade Barrett interfere to cost McIntyre. The reason for Wade Barrett's interference is because McIntyre has been disrespectful toward him. However, I don't see that happening since WWE views Barrett more as a corporate figure. In this case, I’m leaning toward Wyatt6 interfering to help Punk gain the upper hand over McIntyre. Also, after dealing with McIntyre, Punk will likely focus on Gunther for the World Heavyweight Title.

Who do we think is "The big guy" Pat McAfee was referring to?

So by now I'm sure everyone has seen the Pat McAfee show thing with Cody "so I heard the big guys coming back this week" meaning that someone is likely returning on Smackdown or at Bad Blood, with that said who we think he is? My vote is on The Rock or possibly Jimmy with "Tyne big Guy" being used to throw us off.

Unpopular Opinion: Cinematic Matches weren't bad if they were executed well.

Some matches during covid like the swamp fight and firefly fun house match are really overhated. They weren't real "matches" but they were still cool. The Randy vs Alexa match sucked but not all cinematic matches are bad.

Raw and Smackdown rewatches?

Is there a streaming service that is airing raw and smackdown the day after they air like Hulu did? I’ve heard Peacock is supposed to be the place, but they are still over a month out when it comes to episodes. So do I just have to resort to YouTube highlights if I somehow miss an episode live?

Hear me out we should have a mixed game Rhea Vs Dominic

I say this because rheas the best wrestler in the women's division so they should have a brawl to settle the beef. But it was just an idea it may be stupid because it a boy Vs girl match but I would pay to watch it.

Was watching this match uploaded to the Vault channel earlier and thought it was ironic that Kane spent the whole time trying to break in to free Paul Bearer, when literally the first thing he did during his debut was rip off the cell door lol.

WWE's Luchador problem

For years, maybe even decades, we've heard that WWE is on the lookout for the "next Rey Mysterio" - a Luchador so over they'll sell tonnes of merchandise like masks, millions of different figures, shirts etc etc etc

We've seen so many attempts at this point, with Sin Cara, Kalisto and Dragon Lee all being earmarked as "The next Rey Mysterio" but it never materializes as WWE never really seem to get behind them.

I personally dont understand why there is always the focus on just one Luchador, while everyone else gets unmasked. Andrade, Ricochet, Santos Escobar were all unmasked before debuting in WWE. The Mexicools were unmasked before debuting, which never made sense to me.

Mysterio got over I think because he was allowed to get over in the Cruiserweight division first, but obviously they've killed that division, brought it back, relegated it to NXT then killed it again. Lucha House party were made into a joke.

Apparently Penta and Fenix are on their way, but will they be used properly?

My questions really are..

Do you think WWE is to blame for not being able to create their "next Rey Mysterio"?

Is Mysterio just so good they'll never replicate him? Should they even be trying?

Should they ever have been focusing on just one since Luchador star?

Have they already had that guy and fumbled him? (Sin Cara 1, Sin Cara 2, Kalisto, one of the Mexicools, Ultimo Dragon, one of the Lucha House Party?)

Is that guy currently on the roster, or on the horizon? (Dragon Lee, Axiom, Penta, Fenix)

Or is there someone else out there in the industry they should be headhunting? (Current Mistico, Dralistico, Hologram, Mortos, Luchasaurus. Apologies my knowledge of the rosters in Mexico isn't great)

What do you think?

WWE Holiday tour - back to back Orlando/Miami - repeat performances?

Question for anyone who has gone I see the tour is in Orlando and then Miami. We bought tickets for Orlando a month or so ago before I saw they were also coming to Miami closer to home. Will this likely be the same performers back to back nights? The promo pics both have Cody, LA knight, Nia - but I don’t want to do both if it’s the same thing again.

Bringing back the winged eagle design wont heal your soul

I keep hearing how cody rhodes is gonna bring back the winged eagle design, but I believe its better left as a memory of that era. Bringing it back won't give the title the same feel it had back then. The memory people have of that title is connected to who they were at that time and the stories and characters that based around it. You can bring back the design but it won't bring back that feeling.
