Villain Enterprises looks like a bad rear end new stable.

Killer ending to the ROH tapings as well.

Why would those guys listen to a Doctor Who one off antagonist like Scurll?

So that when Marty's contract with ROH is up, they'll turn and beat the piss out of him.

Tingly.


Why on Earth would you take two major debuts and just saddle them in a stable together?

Feels like maximum return on that would be to give each guy their own angle.

Didn't ROH do something like that once before?

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I kind of knew about the Elite but the spoilers made it sound like the SCU/Addiction were headed out the door too? The Daniels thing sounds like a possible storyline setup but Kaz and Scorpio sound like they were just given a send off?

Daniels, Kaz, and Scorpio's deals all ended this weekend and it's been known for a while that at the very least Daniels and Kaz are likely AEW-bound

Why did Scurll extend with RoH? I assumed he'd stick with the rest of the gang.

I thought his extension just lasted until April so he might be out pretty soon too.

He signed at a different time to the rest of them and mid-year.

I'm pretty sure Flip is in a similar boat to Marty, too, where he's an obvious pick-up for AEW since he's basically Matt and Nick's pet project, but he signed an ROH contract in April of 2017 so he's gotta wait a bit.

I went looking for some spoilers

quote:

Elias defeated Bobby Lashley in a Miracle on 34th Street Fight. The highlight of the match was Elias busting open a present that had Legos in it. Elias back-dropped Lashley onto the toys and shattered a violin over his back. Lio Rush received an Egg Nog bath after the match

:rip: Lashley

Scrolling through Twitter over the weekend someone said the same about their match on the live events. Gabe/Jordan vs Revival were great matches and while Roode is a rather mechanic he isn't going to gently caress the dynamic up. Also, Roode was great in America Most Wanted and Beer Money. Only makes sense.

Full Raw spoilers

quote:

* Elias kicks off the Christmas Eve edition of RAW with a Christmas song in the ring. Elias knocks Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush with the song. They interrupt and it's time for the Miracle on 34th Street Fight

* Elias defeated Bobby Lashley in a Miracle on 34th Street Fight. The highlight of the match was Elias busting open a present that had Legos in it. Elias back-dropped Lashley onto the toys and shattered a violin over his back. Lio Rush received an Egg Nog bath after the match

* RAW Tag Team Champions Chad Gable and Bobby Roode retained over The Revival when Gable rolled Scott Dawson up for the pin

* Sasha Banks, Bayley and Ember Moon defeated Mickie James, Dana Brooke and Alicia Fox. The Riott Squad attacked Moon, Banks and Bayley after the match

* Finn Balor defeated Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler in a Triple Threat. Drew announced himself for the Royal Rumble match in a pre-match promo. Balor won the match by pinning Ziggler. McIntyre came back into the ring for a post-match attack but Ziggler connected with a Zig Zag before he could do anything

* Paul Heyman comes out for his "Celebrating the Holidays with Paul Heyman" segment. He declares WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar will defeat Braun Strowman at the Royal Rumble. Strowman interrupts, not wearing the sling on his arm, and taunts Heyman, terrifying him. Braun places a Santa hat on Heyman's head, taunts him a bit more and promises to beat Lesnar for the title at the Rumble

* RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey retained over Natalya. Rousey made Natalya tap to the armbar

* Heath Slater defeated Jinder Mahal by DQ due to interference from The Singh Brothers. Rhyno comes out dressed as Santa Claus to make the save for Slater. Rhyno ends the segment with a Gore to Jinder

* Seth Rollins defeated Baron Corbin in the main event. Rollins won with a Stomp
The Corbin push will continue until fan morale improves.

It's almost like 3 of the four have tons of experience working high level tag matches with each other, and the 4th is also a highly experienced tag team guy. (Beer Money were actually really good, remember)

No, he's getting a couple of wins so the internet will shut up and stop expecting Vince to actually change his approach.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

Have a hard time deciding what's a spoiler and what's just can be a rumor or speculation. But this is a big happy return.

Although not cleared yet Kevin Owens does plan to be cleared before the Royal Rumble PPV and return there. One to two months early from double knee surgery.

I think I know what is meant by the bolded part but I prefer to take it at face value. Lio Rush, in his normal hypeman getup, scrubbing with a loofah-on-a-stick in a tub filled with egg nog.
