I can see Becky losing the Raw Women’s Title to someone that gets drafted.

I would be down if Bray like really destroyed Seth Rollins. Like a horror movie murder. Yeah I know. And then Seth came back as Bray's buddy MERCY ROLLINS and he is in some kind of psycho phantom mask and has a new move set and is a real sicko like The Fiend.

crown jewel basically a raw ppv

Expecting a dope RKO spot in this match.

Rollins’ #surviveandprevail makes me think he has to win if he’s going to remain a babyface. But if he’s going to Smackers, you’ve got Roman, Bryan, Cain, Rey and Kofi. Do you need Rollins on the face side? I can see them chewing through him as a face so they can turn him as the failed hero.

Ali, here to make a difference.

Ali lost his first name again?

Did they bring it back before?

Becky and Rollins could get drafted as champions and do double-duty until they lose the belts.

I guess AEW is making a big difference to WWE Superstars. You can fail your wellness tests and not face termination and also you won't have to watch what you say like Orton the other day dropping the N-BOMB (with a soft A not a hard R) on twitch.

I thought that, but I'd think a lot of it depends on if Fox is willing to have anyone on their show appear anywhere else. They're very much pulling the strings in this situation.

Would be funny if Becky is drafted to SmackDown and Charlotte or Bayley go to Raw and they have to awkwardly trade belts.

So they’ve got a mystery partner for The War Raiders. It can’t just be Cedric Alexander, can it? Could it be a returning star or even Cain?

I think Ali is going to Raw.

groaning right now

I bet it will be Alexander in Viking Paint.

Think he got called by his full name at one point last week but maybe that was just a snafu and not an actual change. Then again barely paid attention the last time he was one so maybe it wasn't actually mentioned.

I think if it’s someone like Alexander or Ricochet, they’ll win the US Title on Raw. I see a lot of the current champions going.

Michael Cole cannot say the word "veteran."

Legit prediction for The Raiders’ partner: John Morrison.

Rick o'Shea

I mean, the main FOX promo for SmackDown has Becky's theme as the background music...and they made her the first wrestler out on the FOX debut. Seems hard to fathom her not going to the blue brand, however they go about it.

Might have to do a draft predictions thread once this show is over.

I'd like Aleister Black to turn up as War Raiders' partner for some reason.

Or really, just do fucking ANYTHING with him.

It would be sweet if it was Cain though. I know it would feel “rushed,” but he’s done six-man rags before, and he’ll be out there with AJ Styles.

Doesn't make a ton of sense but I would love to see Morrison go after Styles upon returning so yeah I'm good with that.

Feel like they would have hyped up or advertised it more if the mystery partner was someone actually notable or big.

Also would be risky using Cain since supposedly he needs knee surgery soon and is only holding it off until after the Lesnar match at Crown Jewel.

Oh, it’ll probably be Braun so they can talk about Tyson Fury.

That was a really fantastic tornado DDT.

Also I wonder how long a compilation of all the chin locks Randy Orton has done in his career.

I bet Ali is in some serious pain rn

That was a good match. Slow but solid.

Orton vs Ali was decent at best.

lol Lacey Evans vs. Natalya for like the 7th week in a row... hellish

Nikki Cross is thicker than when I last saw her.

Didn't watch it but was the Natty vs. Lacey any good or just another stinker?

:| Another match scheduled with the two.

Hmm, not sure if Bray wins the title or Taker interferes to set up something for Crown Jewel. But it would probably be “easier” for him to be on Team Hogan.

Random impromptu Women's Tag Team Championship match...yay...

Feel like this is very close 2 "putting me over the edge" and going back to not watching Raw... feeling "exhausted" @ the thought of watching it, and how WWE keeps putting on the same match over and over and over and over and over and over

Asuka is my darkhorse pick to randomly beat Becky for the Raw belt. If she and Kairi lose, I can see her turning heel.

Fuck me Auska and Sane are so hot.

I think Heyman would be frothing at the idea of Asuka vs. Kairi Sane under his watch.

No joke. There's almost "too much hot" in this match, if there could ever be such a thing.

I completely forgot that Asuka is 38 years old. Looks fucking fantastic.

God bless Asian aging genes.

I feel like the Raw Women’s Division is going to end up being Asuka, Kairi, Nattie, Lacey, Naomi, Dana, Sarah Logan, Liv Morgan, Ruby Riott and maybe Nikki Cross and Sonya Deville.

Slap on the titties!

She's my age yet could probably pass for 30.

Nikki and Alexa going back and forth as face and heel champs has made a mess of trying to build any sort of meaningful storyline for the Women's tag belts. Only difference between them and the IIconics title reign is Bliss and Alexa being on tv more often.

I think the Four Horsewomen all end up on SmackDown with Carmella, Ember, Alexa and Mandy.

This is again assuming FOX/USA want no co-promotion, but that would mean none of the floating titles can move around.

I’d guess the Women’s Tag titles end up on Raw. Longer show = more women on the roster and therefore more teams.

24/7 title on Smackdown so a whole bunch of Fox personalities can win it.

LOL Kairi with the eye poke that was golden.

:lol: Kairi

I think the 24/7 Title goes to Raw. The Women’s Tag Titles will probably float, may even end up in NXT.

Why is Kairi a heel?

Can see Charlotte/Becky vs. Sasha/Bayley eventually being over the Tag Titles.

Supposedly not even Nikki nor Alexa know beforehand if the Women's tag belts are going to be brand specific or still float around.

Going to be dumb as hell if WWE ends up creating another set of Women's tag belts just to keep the number of belts per brand the same.

Guess they needed to have 4 total women's matches tonight in another lame attempt to placate them over not being able to go to KSA at the end of the month.

I can see a thing where Alexa is drafted to SmackDown and Nikki is on Raw, but when their reign ends, Nikki has to stay on Raw and can’t get another title shot. See it being used to get heat for Sasha & Bayley.

YES!!!! Really good match, great finish and even better champs!

asuka with mist lol

Whoa :eek:

Alright why did Tajiri give Asuka the power of his green mist?

niceeeeeeeeeee

Muta Mist FTW

Champion Asuka

Asuka & Kairi winning is interesting. They would be valuable on all shows.

:y: Asuka & Kairi new champs.

Match itself was decent at best. All the matches soo far tonight have some serious pacing problems in terms of too much padding because of how poorly WWE built the card.

Love the Mist!

That was the least boring match of the night so far imo

Yeah, which is why I'm hoping the belts could be a floating championship.

Yeah I honestly really enjoyed it, sorry Smeat.

Are Cole and Graves calling the entire show?

I think we get Io, Asuka & Kairi vs. Shayna and her goons at some point.

No

They've got the commentators calling matches by brand.

Fortunately, King hasn't been too cringe just yet.

Apparently The Iconics are the heaviest Women’s Tag Champs of all-time.

Never mind...

Imagine Kairi Sane vs Chyna.

Why?

rawr

Are Cole & Graves exactly the same as they were on Raw? Was hoping FOX would make WWE let them go a bit.

If Tyson faces Stroman and beats him he's gonna have to then face Brock which I think would be f'n awesome, especially if they wanted to run a stadium event in England, which they should do, it's been way to long.

Yeah but Graves was way more tolerable since he had nobody to constantly bicker with and insult during the show.

I’ve got a feeling four of these men are going blue.

With the Network, I’m really surprised they haven’t done this. I see Tyson bearing Braun and them earning each other’s respect and forming a tag team. Brock vs. Tyson in England would be pretty huge.

My favorite HIAC match in recent memory was Orton/Hardy. Sure the end was poorly timed but it was a helluva match.

Sorry, my mind would just freak out and do a U-turn. Like when I try to think about the universe before anything existed.

It seems like you don’t follow the product as closely I thought you were.

I didn’t watch SmackDown outside a couple of segments.

Braun needs to start doing Zangief moves.

Okay. I just assumed that you didn’t follow the weekly shows and just caught the highlights.

Agh come on that was a bullshit DQ. They should have gotten some chair shots or something for the DQ, not the 3 on 1. It was a 2 on 1 when he rang the bell.

Genuinely not sure who is going over in the main event.

Crowd’s pretty dead.

The best matches on HIAC so far have been (imo)

Becky vs Sasha

DBry/Doggo vs Rowan/Harper

Vic Joseph saying "ooh" and "OH!!!!!" after 90% of moves is truly painful to me... feels like I am being punched in the stomach each time

Feel like he was "fine" on Raw but is now like 50x worse than Michael Cole (via being unbearable to listen to)

Lame ending to a pretty decent 6-man tag match.

Soo far Hell in a Cell feels just like a regular episode of RAW/SD.

"Random post is random" time: For some reason, whenever I hear them announce the Viking Raiders, it makes me think of Perry Saturn telling a woman she smelled like a viking while on a double date.

Not sure why they felt the need to protect AJ and his guys. Buuuut, since I think Nraun will be heading over to SmackDown too, maybe they didn’t want to give
him a pin before he changed brands?

I'd say

Big Dog/D Bry vs Rowan Harper
Sane/Auska vs Bliss/Cross
6 - Man Tag

Oh, that’s what I normally do. I’ve been listening to Post Wrestling lately.

I think he's going there too.
