I have edited the post where I listed the missing episodes. I may try to do this about once a week for anyone interested.

Really don't get the randomness of the episodes they are posting. Would think they would do several consecutive episodes at a time.

Apparently WWE edited out Big E's amusing remarks about Charlotte constantly losing the women's title for the Youtube version of the tag match

Did anyone notice also how the promotional video for the Iron Man match made it look like Sasha had a two month reign with her initial title win? They did'nt count Summerslam or the RAW where reign number two began for Sasha.

[GoldMutant]

Damn Miz. Dude's on fire through this year, finally grew on me after so long.

[TheCanadiandrome]

yeah that comment to Renee was classic heel cheap heat, but still hate his a$$ but good, and I'll always see him as nothing more than a lucky midcarder who caught a lucky maineventer big break early on, only to blow it and go back to midcarder

Miz didn't blow it, creative did.

Prior to that whole Cena/Rock thing, he was on fire.

Miz didn't blow anything, they decided to turn his feud with Cena into a Cena/Rock thing and he was just stuck in the middle. That and his face turn was his creative downfall.

So ridiculous, Sasha was able to withstand the hold for over a minute but couldn't last another second? If the title means so much and you are such a "boss" then pass out from the pain instead of tapping. Actually, if Sasha had passed out with two seconds left, it would have been MUCH better than what we got.

Yeah, my girl was watching that and said 'dude if I was in the lead and I was hearing the crowd counting down, I would have just sucked it up for another 3 seconds and not tap'. It did make Sasha look bad. And Charlotte winning not just again, but also as the conclusion of their feud just ruined the rest of the night for me.

Honestly the first women hell in a cell and second iron woman match were both ruined because they decided to have Charlotte win. The whole hot potato thing is because they keep making Charlotte win instead of letting Sasha retain and send Charlotte off to feud someone else. They just can't have Sasha win the title and keep it and it pisses me off.

Ah well poor Miz. Either way he still sucks balls

[ZariusTwo]

WWE had a poll up asking which superstar people wanted to see headline 'Mania. As soon as it became clear Reigns was trailing last and AJ Styles was taking the lead, the WWE took the poll down

[AT-Man]

I have every reason to believe Roman will lose the US title before Rumble, win the Universal title at Rumble, and face the Rumble winner at Mania.

The whole farce could be saved with a right Rumble winner, but based on the last few years my hopes are extremely low. If Goldberg faces Lesnar at Mania and neither of them wins the Rumble, I think the safe bets are Rollins and Ambrose.

Does anyone else think Money in the Bank should be one of the big PPVs? I hope there will be one winner, who can challenge for which ever main title he wants to. Same for women too, they should also have a MITB match. Take the top 4 contenders from each brand for the match.

I don't know if Lesnar or Goldberg will win the Rumble since they're the first guys in. I assume they'd be in each other faces the whole time and somehow get thrown out by other people, or both at the same time, to spark a big match at Wrestlemania. Really have no idea who they plan to win the Rumble that's not Lesnar or Goldberg. I do feel sorry for the 3rd and 4th guys to get into that mess.

I agree they should do a Money in the Bank with the girls. They already did Hell in the Cell with them. Evenetually let's have them do all the previous non-women matches.

They should kinda give up on having Reigns be the top guy... at least for now. I mean, Cena is still around. He's still the top guy. Worry about that whenever he does retire. In the meantime build up Roman's character so that the audience feels he could be a new top guy, instead of prematurely trying to force him down our throats while the top guy is still around.

[MikeandRaph87]

Reading the Internet makes me feel like I am the only casual Roman Reigns fan out there.


I got a couple of surprises under the tree Michelangelo The Macho Man figure and Hulk Hogan t-shirt.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Hey I'm a Reigns fan, some of us out there

Me too. I just wish they gave him a longer title reign. I feel his time came and went and he needs a break. They messed up by not giving him a longer title reign the first time. Now I want him gone and to stop constantly trying to headline PPVs for a while.

Im thinking Balor returns and challenges Owens at Mania.

[ZariusTwo]

Yeah, I hear Vince wants Reigns facing Stauwman or something, but I just can't see it being for the title

This is what I'm actively hoping for, but I think Balor won't make it to the Rumble. I just want a Rumble winner most people would be rooting for, and hopefully it's someone new.

I can see him as the US champ. Braun can be insanely successful if they don't screw him up, like they did with Rusev.

[The Deadman]

Rusev worked until they fed him to the juggernaut known as Cena.

Let him hold the US title awhile. It's not like it's a relevant title

[The Deadman]

Thing is, it WAS a relevant title for a long while when Rusev had it because people were constantly trying to take it off him. Roman barely defends it as is.
