It's not about CM Punk at this point. It's about trying to "put their crowd over." And Undertaker vs Roman in a feud about who's yard it is.
Because he's yet to put on an entertaining match. He looks like a moron, he talks like a moron and a bully. **** him
I dig the SD women's title match There's only 7 active women on the roster though. Alexa, Becky, Mickie, Nattie, Tamina, Carmella, Eva Marie I hope they bring up someone from NXT each week from now until WM. Obviously Asuka, is the best too really add some weight. Peyton, Billie, etc
The problem here is that Nikki is feuding with Maryse so I don't think she will be part of that match. Although what would be interesting is that both Nikki and Maryse make surprise entrants into this match. Imagine Maryse winning, that would do wonders for both Miz and Maryse couple story feuding with Bryan going forth.
Seth Freakin' Rollins! How long is WM cause I count 15 matches Orton/Wyatt Lesnar/Goldberg Owens/Jericho HHH/Rollins Taker/Reigns Styles/Shane Corbin/Ambrose Aries/Neville Sasha/Charlotte/Nia/Bayley SD Womens Championship Joe/Balor? Cena & Nikki/Miz & Maryse Andre The Giant Battle Royal Certified Gs/Cesaro & Sheamus/Club SD Tag Championship
They mostly do it when Triple H or Stephanie is on the mic just to show them up. In Punk's shoot with Colt Cabana he dogged Triple H and Vince pretty hard on how they treated him. I think when the crowd chants it's to say, "we're on Punk's side."
He's was a total prick too most of the active roster and the legends who work in behind the scenes roles plus I've not read hardly anything good from how he interacted with fans. Good riddance. He can b**** about how poorly he was treated and this and that. Vince gave him the longest WWE title run of anyone in the last 25 years. He got the Undertaker at WM, the Rock at the RR, Lesnar at SS, huge matches with Cena, HHH, etc. Styles, Rollins, Owens, Zayn, Joe, Cesaro, etc are all more entertaining performers/former Ring of Honor champs
Fwiw, met Punk after UFC 189, strolling through Venetian when we were leaving, he was cool as hell to take a pic with my cousin even when our phones weren't acting right and took longer than usual. He was about to leave but still stuck around till got our phones right. We tried to get AJ in the pic also, good god she's gorgeous in person, who was leaving Punk to hit up the club I'm assuming, but Punk said that it isn't her "thing" to stop for a pic with the fans. Those 15 matches sound about right for WM, it's going to be 4+ hour show without the pre-show stuff. WM32 technically started at 6pm, pre-show was at 5pm, and didn't end till maybe 10:45pm. About the same for Summerslam last August. In other words, it's going to be long....
These are the kinda things Kota Ibushi would rather do probably for about 200-300 bucks rather than wrestle in NXT/Raw/205. Lol. Roode vs Ohno was pretty great and I think that's first time I've seen Chris Hero on TV. He's going to have to drop about 30 and lose the bball jersey if he's going to be an NXT Champ down the road. NXT TV has been having some great shows the last 4-5 eps after a stretch of showcase/squash type booking for a good while.
Asuka may be getting the call up before WM, she has been working SD house shows and may be put on TV as a part of the SD Women's Championship at WM. Besides her, I think the loser of Shinsuke/Roode, either The Revival or #DIY, probably Tye Dillinger. I think those are the 5 most polished, TV ready guys/teams on NXT
Asuka is just working the house shows to cover Naomi, but possibly may still be called up there was a poster for the upcoming Europe NXT tour and Nakamura was nowhere to be found, which probably means he's going to get called up soon. I'm still hoping Shane pulls a 180 and says he can't compete but found a replacement and it's Nakamura at Mania vs. AJ....that would be epic....but it's too good to be true if it happens Revival joining Triple H's NXT stable woule be pretty sweet, and #DIY will probably start out with the 205 Division as they were advertised before they debuted the show Anybody else making to WM? I'll be making the trip, just got tickets for Mania, Axxess on Saturday Morning, Wrestlecon, and probably the Hardy's BBQ before Mania. Going to try to get last min tickets to both NXT and Raw after, should be a fun weekend.
Paige's career is done folks. REST IN PEACE!!! Too lazy to post undertaker memes but you get the picture,hahahhah!
Nakamura/Styles is a show stealer at WM and maybe the only two guys to rival Okada/Omega's super classic. Would love to see it at a WM. I'd like Gargano and Ciampa to try and make it as a team. They are great at singles and could make it on 205, as a fallback. I'd put them on RAW, and let them have Alpha's role in the tag division. And Revival on SD that needs more heel teams to fued with Alpha and maybe the Hardys.
