The Official WWE Discussion Thread

been announced Raw & Smackdown will be in Manchester on 6th & 7th November

Stephanie McMahon was on This Morning earlier today to promote Raw & Smackdown in London tonight & tomorrow night

Thought the raw show weren't all that apart from the UK fans banter and maybe the hardys coming

Wish I kinda chose to go smackdown now, atleast they have a fucking WWE champion!

Best pop of the night on Raw at the O2 was when Strowman came into the ring at the beginning & the crowd chanting 'Thank you Strowman' (beating & injuring Roman at Payback no doubt).

overall both shows seemed a bit flat.

The winner of the Fatal 5 Way between Finn Balor,Roman Reigns,Seth Rollins,Samoa Joe & Bray Wyatt at the next Raw PPV Extreme Rules will become No 1 Contender to face Brock Lesnar.
Looking at all the possibilities to face Lesnar I reckon the best match would have to be Lesnar Vs Wyatt although I do like the possibility of Samoa Joe Vs Lesnar as well.

Regarding Smackdown how the feck can they turn a jobbing angry looking Steroid freak (look at his spotty skin complexion on his back & forehead as proof) in Jinder Mahal into a Championship contender beating everyone now including AJ Styles the other night.
If Mahal does somehow beat Orton for the strap then I'll stop watching Smackdown until some sanity is restored.

The mind boggles at these decisions but he isn't the first and he won't be the last.

Yet fans bitch about how WWE never tries anything new , personally I'm enjoying it despite it only happening because they want to become big in India .

I'm disappointed with the idea of a Fatal 5-way, they could as easily have left Balor & Wyatt out of it, Seth & Joe would make as good enough a job of pushing Roman to his inevitable win. Also, it kinda ruins the idea of a Fatal 4-way. They did a 5-way match a long while back called a Scramble match, which admittedly doesn't sound exciting.

Presumably Mahal is just a filler until Rusev is back. But it just demonstrates the lack of thinking at WWE, where someone treated like an after-thought can suddenly be pushed like this, whereas middling guys like Ambrose are left to swing in the wind.

Completely agree, the likes of Baron Corbin,Luke Harper,Kalisto,Sami Zane etc or even Apollo Crews (although his mic skills are poor) would be far better options for a push.
I don't think I have seen Jinder in a decent match ever or half decent match for that matter, his wrestling skills are very limited at best & his push is clearly aimed to reach Asian markets (Great Kali will probably get the call to come back shortly).
