$0. Because the kid was Shane's son. Now gimmie your :10bux:, nerd.

And no, he didn't try to gently caress over the bookies, at least not intentionally. Smart money was coming in, just no one important noticed. I mean I saw it coming in, but like I said, I didn't want to bump the thread. Like I knew Lesnar was going to win the moment Roman went from -875 to +140 in the span of roughly five hours. Same goes for Asuka, although she was still the favorite when she lost, although the steep drop in odds was what tipped me off. Going from -825 to -505 in an hour raises some red flags. Especially on a market that wasn't moving for several days.

Why post the bogus lines and not wait to post the smart lines? Who cares about bumping a thread 10 of us read.

I feel like if Ember comes up, she'll be on whatever brand the Iconic Duo aren't on.

...I hope for Itami's health they aren't on Smackdown, otherwise they'll torment him again.

somebody on reddit (yes, I know), said they saw Almas and Vega at the airport this afternoon with a bunch of the other NXT folks.

Said he did not see AOP, Iconic Duo, Ember or Ciampa.

Was told Ember, Iconic Duo, AOP and Sanity "will be on tv this week".

Ember is pretty much a lock for Raw.

A flat no on Almas. I think they changed their minds this weekend. Almas has more left to do in NXT now.

Have no idea about No Way Jose.

Any idea what Ember's first program will be? I assume against Alexa Bliss. Maybe Nia Jax, or maybe Absolution. Maybe Asuka as well, but I really don't think its a good idea to give Asuka another loss this quickly, and if Ember is on RAW, they should probably shuffle Asuka to Smackdown, unless the plan is to do something like Asuka vs Ember for the title at Summerslam.

honestly given how hot the match was, and how good the match was, they're leaving money on the table by not finishing the storyline with the rematch. compared to shinsuke which just felt like bullshit

Yeah, I think that all depends on if Asuka is moving to Smackdown within the next few weeks or not. If she is, and Charlotte is moving to RAW, I think its pretty much a lock that she's winning the rematch. Or she could take the title from Carmella, because they'll need someone who is strong in the ring to hold down the fort there, and Asuka is still less ruined than Becky.

Also I don't think they'll want Ember, Ronda, Asuka, and Charlotte all on the same brand.
