The Official WWE Discussion Thread

I doubt Goldberg gives much of a ratings boost, it's been 20 years since he meant much of anything in wrestling. If he wants to wrestle twice a year, and WWE want to pay him, I don't know that the ratings have much to do with it.

No he actually does boost the ratings every show he has been advertised for has done better numbers than the previous weeks, do you really think wwe are paying goldberg 1.5 million (not including 2m saudi match paydays) a year for no reason

I did a bit of googling and bill goldberg is in terms of added viewers over the past 5 years is 2nd, Only the rock boosts the ratings more but he boosts them by millions more lol goldberg has boosted the ratings between 100-500k viewers each time he appears

So i am guessing Adam Pearce won't be beating Roman Reigns then.

It wouldn't be the first time where WWE are concerned.

The Pearce/Owens thing played out as you guys said last week, so all credit to you

Im gonna pull a dave meltzer here but i have info from a credible source the plans for wrestlemania season

First off much like charlotte did last year in the womens rumble the winner of this years mens rumble will face the nxt champion at WM, daniel bryan is currently booked to win and will face finn balor or karrion kross at WM.

On the womens side of things becky lynch is currently booked to win and will face asuka at mania, ronda rousey was discussed but they dont want to waste her big return with no crowd.

Wrestlemania as of last week has 6 matches booked which are
Champion vs champion
Goldberg vs reigns

Raw womens title
Asuka vs becky

Charlotte flair vs rhea ripley

Drew mclntyre vs brock lesnar

Edge vs orton

Us title
Lashley vs strowman

This WM will be over 2 nights again and will be womens matches heavy around 6 matches will be womens matches

But take this with a grain of salt

Yawn 2 same matches from previous mania couldn’t get much worse, my hopes are and I will keep believing til vince decides to go with the most boring route ^
Rumble - men’s - Edge
Women’s - Ronda
Mania - Edge v Roman, Ronda v Sasha? Charlotte v Asuka maybe, miz v Morrison for the contract and winner cashes in later in the night (probably losing) not really thought about Drew’s opponent but just keep Lesnar away from him thanks it’s going to be bad enough if Goldberg tries the jackhammer on him Just noticed that the Charlotte v Rhea match U put was also from last years mania cmon we can’t possibly get 3 exact same matches

It is what happens when you don't have any stars and zero creative ideas which is pretty much wwe in a nutshell

I am guessing Lesnar will get redemption like he always does and beat Drew McIntyre and i can't believe Lesnar won't be in a title match Jesus Christ that must be the first time in years.

As for other rematches i see Charlotte winning again and Edge winning again.

But having Rumble winners face NXT Champions i think is just stupid i mean it happening with the Women i don't mind so much but with the Men.

WM37 happening over 2 nights again. They've also named dates for WM38 and WM39!
