Professional Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH, etc)

Unless there's a two-fall stipulation, having both belts on the line is a unification scenario, even if it isn't explicitly billed as such. I could see Cena winning both belts in the match but subsequently having to defend them separately, thus preserving them as separate championships and allowing for a WWE Champion and World Heavyweight Champion moving forward.

[JaoSming]

Or I could see Cena and Orton on top of the ladder at the same time grabbing the opposite belts, or a Russo-esk belt drop and a scramble that swaps them.
My prediction percentages are;
90% Title Swap
4% CENA WINS LOL
4% Champs stay the same
2% Titles are unified
50% of a rematch on RAW the next night


As much as WWE isn't TNA in terms of RAW, WWE is WWE with PPVs, with non-finishes, angles that bury the main event, and such shite finishes that people get refunds. I expect nothing from this.

[Andrew]

Oh ye of...quite reasonable predictions.

LOL @rematch on Raw the next night.

I think it's possible he could defend the titles separately but he just cqame back from injury, I tihnk they're a little wary of over working him.

[Andrew]

In that case...Orton goes over for both belts, lords it over the rest of the roster as the undisputed Corporate Champion, then gets his comeuppance by losing both belts in two different matches.

[JaoSming]

[Andrew]

Somehow, that looks cooler than it would have had he not messed up.

[JaoSming]

This is gawdamn brilliant

They had a chance to do the angle better than WWE did with Punk, but guess that's not happening. It'll be interesting to see what happens next, as WWE reportedly isn't too interested in him.

[JaoSming]

Pretty awesome promo by Cena (of all people) to end raw tonight. Seeing Bryan mark the F out with that grin the entire time was awesome in itself.

[koberulz]

Haven't even followed spoilers since Kane's unmasking/Battleground/somewhere around there. Planning on returning for the road to the Rumble, can anyone catch me up briefly?

[JaoSming]

Bryan got screwed over again and again, dropped off creative's mindset, going up against all three Wyatts because beards
Punk murdered Heyman which broke up Ryback/Axel/Heyman, he's now got Shield 3v1 this weekend too because handicap rights
Shield is teasing a breakup with Reigns turning face. Crowd (and me) went ape shit when Wyatts and Shield went face to face in the ring, but nothing other than a brawl came of it.
AJ Lee vs Total Divas is still going on
Rhodes brothers save tag team wrestling....I guess. Actually, all the tag teams are damn good.
Mark Henry came back
Big Show came back from being 'fired' and used it to automatically get main event vs Orton for the belt, got a punt job and is out again.
Cena returns, Cena wins, lol. World belt.
Trips & wife, and Kane, still doing the authority angle, still kinda controlling Shield and Wyatts. Were openly pushing Orton until last night's shenanigans.
Cena v Orton "1 more time" to unify the belts. Initial suspicion was that they'd swap belts or something since both belts are being hung. WZ's amazingness says they are actually going to unify http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/437331- ... les-at-tlc but at the very least we got Cena and Orton doing one of the best lead-in promos in quite some time last night.


That is my recap, I actually haven't been watching anything other than TNA and random clips of Raw, figures right?

That's gold.

[deihatein]

Lol Dolph Ziggler is in disgust as well.

[Andrew]

Caught the segment this afternoon. Definitely one of Cena's best promos, perhaps even the best one that he's delivered in his entire career. At the very least, it's his strongest promo in quite some time.

While a screwy finish at TLC still seems likely, it'd be great if the swerve turns out to be no swerve at all. At the very least, I'd like to see a unified champion instead of some silly technicality. Orton ending RAW on the mat seems like an indication that he'll be going over at the PPV, too; at least, that usually telegraphs the winner.

[JaoSming]

I'd still take an Orton win though, I just really don't want this unification stuff to drag on. Sucks to do it with such little build, but get it unified, get the IC promoted, and get back to some non-brand split goodness.

[Andrew]

Agreed. As long as there isn't some contrived, screwy finish, that's a step in the right direction.

[koberulz]

Big Show came back from being 'fired' and used it to automatically get main event vs Orton for the belt, got a punt job and is out again.

Evidently not; he was in a nothing eight-man tag. You should probably leave the recapping to people who actually watch the shows.

Why exactly were two tag teams nominated for 'diva of the year'? And how on earth did the Bellas win?


They're running incessant commercials for the next Aussie tour already. It's not until August. Am I the only one who wants to know at least who's appearing, but preferably also what matches will be on, before committing hundreds of dollars for a ticket? Interesting that it's Sydney/Melbourne/Perth only. A three-city Aussie tour is probably reasonably common, but...Perth? What?



Does anyone really believe they're going to unify the two world titles four months before WrestleMania?

[shadowgrin]

The higher the stakes at Wrestlemania with the unified title on the line.
