I live 5 minutes from Full Sail but have never been to a taping because from what I understand it's impossible to get tickets (although they always advertise when they're taping so who knows).

tbh I’d love it if they did Ricochet/Murphy at Mania and Ricochet went over, just so Murphy can bulk back up, go to Raw and dethrone Seth asap

WWE should just book Murphy like they were planning to push Omega. I'm surprised Buddy's not using the One Winged Angel yet.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
It's probably going to depend entirely on how Kofi's reaction are until Fastlane but wouldn't put it past the WWE revisionist history to tout that this was the plan from the rumble, despite Kofi even being in the scene because of a random injury

If he's the opponent at Fastlane, that almost definitely means there's no scenario where he's the opponent at Mania. Sad.

Rowan interferes for a DQ, match gets set for Mania? It won't happen, but it's a possible option.

If they don't want to rerun Rowan helping Bryan, you could pretty easily book Harper to come back at Fastlane and save Bryan's rear end, and use that as a setup for a de facto New Day v. Green Day feud heading into Mania.

It's the same thing as Roman vs. Bryan. They're using the last PPV towards Mania to tease an interesting direction and going with what the fans want before they go "Okay, enough of that, time to do what Vince wants."

Take it with a grain of salt because Bryan, but he apparently got word on WOL a little bit ago that someone (he didn't say who) is turning tonight on Smackdown. Completely random turn at that.

Tucker is going to turn heel on Otis, setting up a 5 month program where they are ostensibly fighting over Alexa Bliss's affections. finally, after 5 months of back and forth matches, Otis is victorious, but it is revealed he wasn't sexually attracted to Alexa Bliss herself, but was in fact attracted to the stink of her pet pig. at this revelation Otis blinds himself and retreats into the woods to live as a hermit

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



I know it's the spoilers thread, but NXT spoilers below just in case.

So we already know Dream wins the NA title off Gargano. This happened on a taping before the 4 were called up this week.

If they're on Raw now, why the hell wouldn't they give Dream the NXT Title instead of the NA? If Gargano is called up then he's not going to win it off Ciampa to conclude their arc.

I guess they'll put the Main title on Adam Cole? I'd argue Dream needs it more. I can't think of anyone else who is at that level right now in NXT. Ohno is unlikely and it's pretty early to put it on Riddle, Dijak or Lee

Also can almost guarantee when they filmed it no one had any idea those 4 would be getting called up.

Hell, no one probably had any idea they were getting called up until yesterday afternoon.

It was a weird decision to do it now when they haven't even found a spot for the previous round of call ups. Why not wait til post Mania?

The last group all got hype videos for weeks and slow introductions but you take the 4 biggest stars who have been carrying the main event in NXT and call them up on a random Monday to no fanfare or conclusion to their stories?

Yeah and having them on Raw and Smackdown lends credence to what you're saying as well. Wasn't WWE going to be establishing NXT as more of a third brand this year instead of treating it like the junior leagues? This could be part of that.

Yeah, I mentioned it in the discussion thread, I assume this is all to go "hey these guys are the top of NXT. Which is going to be on FS1. So let's get these guys on TV now."
