Not sure why they recently let go of quality talent and are now calling old dudes. But whatever.

My god those kickoff matches are stupid. They barely make sense for Smackdown.

Even crazier that there are basically 4 other matches that are pre-show fodder (Sheamus/Crews, Ziggler/Corbin, womens tag and US title). Gonna be a lot of 5-7min matches that should have been 10mins to make any sense

For those saying there will be interference in the title match, who do you see interfering?

 

HHH or Dean cashing in during the match

 

I'd say HHH as well.

 

Im imagining HHH...the dream is a double-turn, but, they havent built that at all. But they could still build a HHH feud and have that for Summerslam. Keeps Rollins strong, and would be a big benefit for a feud to start the brand split.

Other option, I think if Dean wins the MITB, he comes down to the ring to get in their heads. Doesnt actually cash in, so a clean finish, but, does enough to distract Rollins on a finisher or something.

If Roman couldnt win 100% clean over AJ (so many shenanigans in those matches), I cant see them feeding Rollins a clean finish with 0 outside distractions

Other name I saw floated that would be awesome for the short run I imagine most guys will get Stevie Richards

 

What is everyones gameplan for MITB and the NBA Finals? I'm thinking of doing 2 tv's side by side, but moving a second tv is just going to be a pain the ass

 

I was planning on taking my iPad into the arena and stream the game but they don't allow tablets.

Luckily half of the matches tonight are shit so I can watch the game on my phone during those.

 

Will WWE just give us a shit ppv because of game 7?

 

Do they care about that as much anymore with it being readily available at all times after on the network? I would hope at least they're thinking to put a quality PPV on to bring in more subscribers to watch after game 7 even.

 

I think the MitB match - Rollins/Reigns - Styles/Cena should all be good matches at the least.

Don't care about anything else on the card though.

 

Can jack swagger still win it?

 

Tag title match will be lots of fun

 

I'm sure the plan has been in place for a while. I don't see them switching it up for this. It's in their best interest to throw surprises in. Reward those who watched, and get people excited to watch it tomorrow.

 

That was a Forbes article with no source. Don't read into it.

 

Tag title match too. Basically half matches that are meaningless, and half that will be fun. If they're smart, they'll just mix back and forth.

My plan is MITB on my TV, have the NBA finals streaming on my laptop, and switch back and forth during matches/commentary i dont care about. And then stay away from twitter so I can watch GoT unspoiled after.

 

If HHH interferes and sets up a Rollins match at SS, what the hell is Reigns gonna do though?

 

Feud with Ambrose

 

If WWE's smart, they'd avoid that.

He could feud with a resurgent Rusev. He could feud with a returning Bray Wyatt. Bray's actually the other name for possible title match interference

 

Bray interfering is always their solution when they don't know what to do with a feud.

 

And would make even less sense as Bray seemed to be turning face. And losing another feud (<year apart from his last loss to Roman) would be terrible.
