i'm pretty skeptical of the shoot nature of this but people are saying that Ibushi just got eliminated from the CWC because he forgot WWE uses a 10 count ring out

I saw people saying they restarted the match

and thus the story of Daniel Bryan trying to vicariously live through his friend in the CWC ends.

More taping results

Taping ended with a tease of Blake vs. Murphy finally but Joe came out and murdered both. Demanded Regal to give him either Nakamura or his title. Nakamura came out in a neckbrace, ripped it off, brawled all over the arena with Joe and then KO'd him with a Kinshasa.

Everyone left is a tag team (Revival, Authors of Pain, TM61, Sanity), so good news!

Since they're the only face team left, seems clear that TM61 is winning and getting a shot at the Revival as a result. Unless the Revival get eliminated in the semis after Ciampa and Gargano get involved and then DIY wins the rematch at Takeover, then I guess one of the other two heel teams could win.

It was a 16 team bracket last year. Did they show a graphic in the building to show it was only 8? There's a month of TV to go and last year they did the semis and finals on the special, so are they just going to leave it hanging for a month?

They didn't show a bracket as far as spoilers go. Wolfe, Fulton, and The Revival have been in both Dusty Classics. I wonder if Big Doz and Tucker Knight will be in the tournament has house show matches.

A Daniels/Sydal program would be fun considering their history. And Sydal and Delirious are ultra tight so it could actually happen and even be in the cards!

Maaaan Delirious is gonna be smoking so much weed instead of booking or talking to talent now that Sydal is back.

Dark match:
Roy Johnson defeats HC Dyer

Mark Andrews defeats James Drake via SSP, gets shot at UK title
Akira Tozawa and Saxon Huxkley defeat The Brian Kendrick and Tony Nese (Tozawa pins Nese)
Pete Dunne defeats Sam Gradwell
TJP defeats Rich Swann via submission
Tyson T-Bone defeats Dan Moloney
Trent Seven defeats Wolfgang
Tyler Bate retains UK title over Joseph Conners

Tomorrow's taping has Andrews/Bate for the title, and Dunne/Trent for #1 contendership (shot happening at Takeover Chicago)

UK show but uses cruiserweights and put the UK talent in the dark match. Then has two UK get squashed by Braun on a Raw house show. Good job WWE.

Sheamus and Cesaro will absolutely be involved because it's obvious Seth and Dean aren't done feuding with them yet. Another potential candidate is a returning Joe. This all assumes, btw, that that tweet is actually correct.

if Gargano shows up in the Rumble it better not actually be a call up, because what a fuckin waste of the Ciampa/Gargano feud if Ciampa finally returns at Philly & there's no follow up. If anyone should be in the Rumble it should be Roderick just because it's okay if he gets called up & eliminated imo. Ohno too, but that'll never happen. Philly would probably pop harder for Ohno getting into the ring and having a stare down with Cesaro before Sheamus eliminates him than Gargano getting tossed by Dolph Ziggler.

Roddy is in the doghouse apparently no idea why. Hence being fed to Lars at the tapings.

That's kind of nuts, specially because they were high on Roddy a couple months ago just like they apparently are for Gargano. Roddy probably had an ego about his position. That or had too good a night at Applebees again.

Ok, Bo Dallas was put in the Rumble and still poo poo up NXT for another year, they put Itami in the Andre Battle Royal, etc.

Woah woah, Bo was moved to the main roster for like 3 weeks before they realized it wasn't going anywhere and shuffled him back down.

Seriously though I cannot get over how dumb it is that Shayna gets a title shot this quickly.

I have a REALLY bad feeling that they are going to book her similarly to Brock Lesnar and have her bury the womens division in glorified squash matches for awhile. And it will be absolutely terrible if that is the case.

tbh that doesn't sound all that impossible to me. Dolph was gonna leave and they threw main eventer money at him to stop him from going somewhere else.

Having said that, this sounds...pretty farfetched.

lmao dolph has no value anywhere else. the dude barely cares about pro wrestling itself, he'd rather be a tv personality or comedian
