WWE Night of Champions (Countdown 10am/Main Show 12pm)

Damn, WWE has gone downhill

Is it light out already?

I hate these overseas shows

In the past year they've been better than the domestic shows. Except for WM Night 2, this card is set to be the best PPV of the year thus far.

Byron saying "remember the Cody-Orton interaction last night".... Something only the stadium crowd saw in full.

ETA: I also don't mind watching these shows being in the afternoon rather than at night. Saturday morning shows take me back to pre-teen Dawg watching Superstars in the 80s.

It's always interesting to look through WWEShop and see what they're pushing. I know Evolution is coming up but they've usually stuck to T-Shirts for one-and-done appearances. I suspect we're about to see both of the twins...



Speaking of returns... I highly doubt it but there's a rumor that Brock has been seen in Riyadh. I don't they'd burn his return there when a return to get involved in a potential Seth cash-in during Goldberg-Walter makes a lot of sense. He can take the WWE jet to Atlanta and back on the same day which seems to be his MO.

I remember Nikki always wearing "02" but not Brie so I don't think Brie is coming back.

I could be wrong but I just don't see Brock coming back after all the stuff from the Vince allegations.

My picks

quote:

---

King of the Ring Final: Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton
If Cody wins I think we see the double turn at SS.

Street Fight: Rhea Ripley vs Raquel Rodriguez
Roxanne is in Riyadh and I think she gets involved to solidify their tag partnership.

Sami Zayn vs Karrion Kross

US Title: Jacob Fatu (c) vs Solo Sikoa

Queen of the Ring Final: Jade Cargill vs Asuka
Io-Asuka at SS makes complete sense.

Undisputed Title: John Cena (c) vs CM Punk
Truth gets involved to preserve Cena-Punk down the line.

Hopefully this PPV adds to the momentum they started at MITB. (In the past month it's become watchable again.)

I don't either. Aside from the blood money, there's really not much about him coming back today that makes sense. (I don't think the Saudis give a crap about the allegations so I guess they could use it to see what the domestic blowback would be.)


I really hate how Cole has been ripping off Brett Musburger's "You are looking live".

Hopefully Riyadh stopped consulting with New Orleans about not allowing a power outage during a major sporting event.

My surround sound makes it really obvious that they're just screaming the chorus of the Randy's entrance.

WTF is up with that camera on a stick in the crowd?

A certain lock is Cena winning..

That rapper whose name I can't remember is going to take out R-Truth who attempts to interfere, allowing Cena to hit an AA from the top rope to secure the win.
