NXT

I mean Ember has gone back already.. I think Chad Gable could get moved to NXT.

 

I'm tempted to include Tomasso and Mercedes as call ups for main roster options too.

Well I did far better with my Raw picks than Smackdown :lol:

 

Smackdown has literally been really strong as of late and looks set to remain the same with the draft swaps! The Seth and Rey storyline though needs to end already. It's gone on for what feels like forever :/

I think Raw's roster looks way stronger than Smackdown's after the draft. I can definitely imagine that AJ Styles will soon feud with Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship after Hell In A Cell and now that Bray Wyatt, Matt Riddle, Sheamus, Jeff Hardy have all joined Raw there could be several contenders in the near future for the title. I was hoping that the tag titles would get merged once the champions got drafted to the opposite show but what they did was stupid by just having New Day and Street Profits swapping the belts.

Sasha v Bayley was the best match for me. I'm also glad Sasha won as I was getting tired of Bayley being champion still. She's really progressed as a heel though.

 

Reigns v Uso was fantastic in the storytelling aspect but it did drag on a bit which kinda let it down slightly and Drew vs Randy was decent but definitely the weaker of the three. I liked Drews reign but I didn't mind him dropping it to Orton even if it was the 3rd match in their feud!

Paige and her boyfriend had quite a terrifying ordeal yesterday when a creepy stalker entered their house and according to the guy 'symbols led him to the home'.. :/ thankfully he's arrested now.

 

This happened to Sonya Deville a few months back too. What is wrong with some people :mellow:

Looks like Renee Young left because she is pregnant.

Flipping heck, I hope both are all right.

WWE officially moving from the Amway Centre to Tropicana Field. They'll set up residency there as of December 11. Unless they've negotiated a short term extension of the Amway deal then it looks as if a week or so of television will be taped at the Capital Wrestling Center where NXT currently films. Reports suggest they'll be at Tropicana through to WrestleMania.

That's great news about Renee. This is interesting as now two thirds of the now defunct The Shield are going to be fathers as Seth and Becky's baby is due next month!

 

Jon Moxley aka Dean Ambrose in WWE has had a hell of a year as well. Topped the 500 wrestlers list for 2020 & is 9+months into his reign as AEW World Champ (I know this is just WWE only thread but just adding this in).

Yeah that is great news about Renee Young being pregnant, it's long overdue I think. Roman Reigns's wife gave birth to twins this year as well so all 3 members of The Shield have become/will become fathers in the space of less than a year.

Oh yeah I forgot about that re Roman although he of course already was a dad to one daughter years back too.

On another note NXT Wargames is back again this year. Thoroughly enjoyed it last year so yay for that. Speaking of NXT there's tons of talent there atm Dexter Lumis, Cameron Grimes, Kushida, Shotzi Blackheart, Dakota Kai, Raquel Gonzales, Toni Storm to name some outside of the usual ones that have been impressing me since I've watched more of it recently!

Survivor Series was mostly awful imo. Didn't like the clean sweep for Raw, didn't like John Morrison getting dumped out of the battle royal first. I really wish WWE wouldn't waste his return (outside of the tag title win).

 

Bored of Nia, Shayna and Lana. Probably the worst ending to a 5 on 5 match ever and Smackdowns women's team should have won. They had the best team by far. The only standout on team Raw was Peyton Royce.

 

Tag title match was alright I guess but didn't care for it overall.

Sasha v Asuka and Drew V Roman were the best matches.

 

As for The Undertakers farewell. Pretty poor imo but it's quite the moment seeing him actually retire now (although I do still have doubts this is the last time tbh).

 

Ngl AEW's Full Gear won out of the ppvs this month for me!

 

I am looking forward to Wargames though.

Still yet to watch most of lasts nights show, the men’s elimination match was bad. If Jey Uso is heel now why was he the last man standing? Why would be want him to overcome the odds and not say Otis?

 

The Battle Royal was a waste, I’m really sad Angel Garza has cut his hair too.

 

The Undertaker farewell was emotional. Being a long time fan and thinking he’s retired about 4 times now is quite emotionally draining to follow. :lol: why bring everyone out too if we couldn’t see them say bye to Undertaker. Plus why was Kane in gear what was the point if we didn’t see them together one last time? Also looked odd Kane not shaking anyone’s hand, maybe he’s strict on the COVID guidelines.

The women's 5 on 5 match was booked so, SO badly. That ending was NOT IT. I get what they're aiming for with Lana but this does literally NOTHING to further the story!? The main complaints from people is that we can't feasibly see her beat anyone, so to have her as sole survivor despite doing nothing and not really showcase much potential at all is a choice....

 

Bianca really should have been sole survivor if SD was to have eliminations. But their team this year deserved the clean sweep.

 

Edit:

 

Men's 5 on 5 - 4.5/10 (RAW should Not have had a clean sweep)

New Day vs Street Profits - 8.5/10 (amazing match. They both deserve new challengers to help elevate the tag division more)

Lashley vs Zayn - 3/10

Asuka vs Sasha - 9/10 (MOTN - They can fight forever imo - wish it was longer)

Women's 5 on 5 - 5.5/10

Drew vs Roman - Haven't seen yet but no matter how hard they try I just CAN'T get on bored with Drew. Oops.

Rest in peace to former intercontinental champion and Royal Rumble inventor Pat Patterson 😭

Congrats to Becky and Seth on welcoming their first child Roux today <3

Carmella tonight, surely her best match?

05.0 out of 10 | Drew vs AJ > Even AJ struggled to save this for me. I just found it boring and predictable. I just cba with Drew. <

08.5 out of 10 | Sasha vs Carmella > Sasha manages to get the very best out of EVERYONE. Her adaptability is ridiculously underrated. Carmella is a solid (if generic) worker, but she did great in this match. I've rewatched it again since and enjoyed it just as much the 2nd time. Enjoyable! <

07.0 out of 10 | New Day vs Hurt Business > Solidly decent. Everything that happened was to be expected, but still decent. <

04.5 out of 10 | ShayNia vs Asukarlotte > Predictable that it was Charlotte... I'd have liked her return more if she teamed up with Lana and Asuka had a match against Peyton instead or something. The match itself... idk. I think they made Asuka and Shayna look awfully weak? Asuka should have been getting the upper hand more, SHE'S THE WOMEN'S CHAMP FFS and Shayna should be her challenger at the rumble, imo - but... not with that booking. They protected Nia again... and FOR WHAT!? Nia lost against Lana clean as a whistle literally a week ago... ugh. The match was fine but the booking decisions ruin this for me. <

 

I'l comment on the rest, if and when I watch them. I saw the final 10 mins or so of Fiend vs Orton... it was fun. But I hate Wyatt/Fiend as an in-ring performer. I find him so bland.

Jon Huber (Luke Harper/Brodie Lee) has passed away :(

 

Said to have been lung failure. He was 41 years old. So sad. You can tell that he was a good and nice guy.

:( :( :( so f***in sad. I have been following his aew stuff after he left wwe and he was really starting to pick up with his career again winning the tnt title and facing Jon Moxley earlier in the year. Then we have the Wyatt Family stuff too and he was such a sweet guy from what I saw of his on YouTube videos. This feels really surreal as we haven't had many wrestlers pass away whilst being an active member at the time since Eddie. (Lionheart guy from British wrestling last year but I don't watch that so a bit indifferent there).

 

I can't believe this and on Boxing Day as well :/

 

Rest in Power Jon/Brodie/Luke :(
