The Official WWE Discussion Thread

What a strange event. Asuka/Charlotte was COMFORTABLY the best match of the night. The mixed-tag match was better than I thought it'd be. Styles/Nakamura was very disappointing. And the Lesnar/Reigns match was an abomination. Why would they book it like that?!? The only thing that could happen - IMO - is a rematch on Raw tonight, as it'll be the most watched Raw of the year.

Everything else on the card was meh. Passable, I guess. The set looked great though. But Christ - a FIVE hour WM! Way too long. It was really just more of the same gutless Vince booking, as ever. No risks, no change. Pretty fucking lifeless compamy right now.

I think he will drop the title on raw tonight. He's contract is nearly up and he's not renewing it going back to UFC or hopefully someone new comes out on raw and beats him maybe lashley or someone

^^
Yeah if lesnar is leaving as ufc boss Dana White is claiming. Usually are some main roster Callum’s twists & shocks on the Raw after WM which is usually the best raw of the year.

Think Brock will boast no one can beat him and issues an open challenge, Lashley’s music hits & lashley wins the title.

Also Ember Moon will make her main roster debut given she dropped the nxt womens title to Shayna Bazler, possibly more NXT women coming up too on raw & sd this week including Peyton Royce & Billie Kay.

Finally think Carmella will cash in

About as much chance of that as there is of you debuting and winning the title

(probably)

Apparently Brock has resigned with WWE and will face reigns at the greatest royal rumble in 3 weeks or so

God awful match vs Reigns last night & they want to do it AGAIN No-one expected a good match from them in the first place (apart from myopic Vince) but either the booking was awful or they (especially Lesnar) went his own way. He really has no business holding the title, but at least Reigns (bless him) works his ass for the company.

Actually thought Wrestlemania wasn't as bad as some made it out to be. But those two last matches left a bad taste. Styles/Nakamura just didn't hit the expected heights.

Charlotte/Asuka was indeed the best match, only thing that slightly bothered me was how quick Asuka tapped which rather belied her unbeatable status. I really hope WWE don't mess up with Ember Moon, she's got the athletic attributes to take on Charlotte, Asuka (again) and the rest of the women's division. Maybe go after Nia Jax first. Rousey was quite promising in a surprisingly entertaining tag match. Hell even Steph stepped up to the plate countering Rousey.

Compared to the very flat main events, the time for a women's main event at Wrestlemania is coming.

I'm not buying the Brock-Re-signed stuff. I suspect WWE have 'leaked' this story when, in reality Brock will lose the belt either tonight or soon, and he'll be heading back to UFC. You could see he was much lighter than usual so I think he's off the 'supliments' ahead of his MMA return. Naughty Vince and his rotten red herring. But, I could be wrong.

CALLED IT!!!!!!!!

I thought WM all right tbh with the best matches probably going to Charlotte/Asuka, AJ/Nakamura (why have Nakamura turning heel at the end though)& the Rollins triple threat match & tbh I quite liked Rousey's debut tag-match as well.It looks as if all the titles bar AJ Styles changed hands last night with the bosses looking at the long betting odds on the Reigns/Lesnar & Flair/Asuka & went against the grain this time.
The Undertaker/Cena match clearly looked as though it was Taker's send off match with Cena offering no resistance whatsoever proved that Taker's damaged body (complete with new hips)is done with wrestling.The Strowman/Bar match was a joke as the titles have now been vacated & the Lesnar/Reigns match although a surprise result just emphasised the limited moveset for both wrestlers & totally devalued the old finishing moves when Reigns was pinned after 6-7 F5's.

Reading about Lesnar re-signing with WWE the caviates are apparently that Heyman is still Lesnar's mouthpiece & he is also free to fight in UFC & in WWE so he gets the best of both worlds.I think the only way Lesnar will lose the title will be either in a triple threat or 4-way match (where someone else gets pinned).

I do hope that with the NXT call ups & brand shake-up that there is a far more even split of talent instead of Raw hiving off the bulk of talent.

...some of it...

Does look like Lesnar dropping the belt as a sop to WWE's new Saudi overlords, sorry, friends.
