Bc I don't think the WWE Championship or World Heavyweight Championship are restricted to just the men right?

What if Tiffany cashed in on Cody to become WWE Champion?

It honestly ruined his return in my opinion, no one wanted to cheer for that entrance, but when the music turned off and he was in the ring getting ready for the promo, everybody was chanting and cheering. Thank god WWE is splitting with Def Rebel.

Does anyone have this? They said it at Smackdown tonight and I can’t remember.

Street profits should of split at the top of their height. Now it feels like they have been treading water for far to long. But a split now wouldn't be as impacted as it was a year ago. What do yall think?

What would yall like to see. One more title run? Another i quit match? (if you know you know) Cm punk vs john cena? (All time classic) Or another Randy orton vs John cena match? What do yall want to see happen?

I've been a long time WWE fan and seen lots of champions. No disrespect to Cody Rhodes but I just can't buy him as world champion I think he wanted to end his story but in reality it was to finish his dads story.

Also do you feel like WWE have brought back Roman Reigns to keep Cody Rhodes relevant as champion?

I grew up in the 90s with a dad who hated wrestling, and the only thing I had access to was Nitro during the NWO era. If I was lucky my dad would let me catch half an hour of RAW.

I stopped watching soon after that but always go down rabbit holes reminiscing, watching old scenes, and learning about behind the scenes stuff.

I just watched Mr McMahon and it's got me really wanting to just go back and watch stuff right from the way back from the Hogan era.

I want to watch the characters and storyline developing. I want to Steve Austin turning up with long blonde hair and transforming into a badass. The Rock being a smiley faced new guy and turning into the cocky superstar.

Is there any recommendations for this? WWE network maybe? It's obviously not feasible to watch everything single episode of WWE which has ever aired, and now that i think about it this probably isn't possible. I wonder if anyone has ant suggestions?

Tiffany is real deal. With the latest news that WWE will be using licensed music Ariana Grande need to do a theme for Tiffany.
What we have now - totally def rebel crap.
7 ring song is perfect for Tiffany. Need the same vibe.

i watched summerslam with a couple friends who'd never seen wrestling before. they both loved it, but thanks to a slimy business practice you didn't get to see the summerslam hype packages during the program itself on peacock unless you paid up for the ad-free tier. so my friends had no context at all for any of the characters or storylines, which undoubtedly lessened the impact of everything they saw

i invited them over today again for bad blood. since they still have no context for any of the characters, i was going to watch the hype packages with them ahead of time on youtube. but they don't seem to exist! there are "road to bad blood" videos for each feud, but all of those videos are over an hour long so there's no way that will do

does anybody have any insight into this? will they be uploaded to youtube later today? will there just be no hype packages at all for bad blood? or does the fact that they aren't online yet mean they will be part of the program but won't have ads over them like they did at summerslam?

catching newcomers up for a ple shouldn't be this tricky!

in your opinion, Italian wrestlers will always be a stereotype of Italian culture, and there will be an Italian WWE champion. (Bruno Sammartino aside)

Cody Rhodes & Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will team up with his former rival and the Superstar he dethroned at WrestleMania XL, Roman Reigns, in a battle against The Bloodline. Reigns made his triumphant return at SummerSlam to attack Solo Sikoa and attempt to reestablish control of The Bloodline, but The Original Tribal Chief was ultimately laid out by the combined forces of Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa in an explosive confrontation back on SmackDown. That attack left Reigns down and out, but he returned once again on the USA premiere of Friday Night SmackDown to help The American Nightmare stave off an onslaught. With the two rivals now allied, Rhodes and Reigns will join forces against Solo and The Samoan Werewolf in one of the biggest tag team matches ever. Don’t miss WWE Bad Blood, streaming live on Saturday, Oct. 5, at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else.

Card:

• Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu
• Hell in a Cell Match: CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre
• Women’s World Championship Match: Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley with “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio suspended above the ring in a Shark Cage
• Damian Priest vs. Finn Balor
• WWE Women’s Championship Match: Nia Jax vs. Bayley

I wanted to start a discussion on why i think Cm Punk needs to Main event Wrestlemania 41 night 2 , i feel like its only fair to have him close out the show of shows, whats your take on it guys?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

#WWE SmackSown...err, SmackDown

AJ Styles returns

The Phenomenal One is set to return to Friday Night SmackDown after months away from the blue brand. Styles hasn’t been seen since falling to Randy Orton in a King of The Ring Qualifying Match, and the former WWE Champion is is ready to return. Don’t miss Styles live on Friday at 8/7 C on USA.

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?
