I can't believe there wasn't even an appearance by the Wyatts.

Keeping them off the ppv so they can bring them in as babyface's due to Reigns time off? I know that's a huge stretch and probably not true.

They have to showcase all the titles at Night Of Champions, so they probably got bumped for the US and Tag Title matches.

Strange ending. I wonder if that's going to set up a feud between Rollins/Lesnar or Rollins/Cena? It could really go either way.

Pretty mediocre ppv.

Blah why is The Miz IC Champ again?

I hope NXT is built up enough to a point that it is direct competition for the main shows. The WWE needs competition, and if it must be created from within, I'm all for it.

Triple H has been saying in interviews lately that he wants to build NXT as it's own brand and not just have it be the "minor league" for RAW/Smackdown.

Why did they have Kenta change his name? I feel like that is a dumb move.

I've got an extra pair of 2 day passes for Toronto this weekeend.  Selling them for $240 for the pair.  PM me if you're interested.

They could have subbed out any of the following for Bray:

Kane (this would have made the most sense)

Big Show

Mark Henry

Khali

RVD

 

None of those guys have anything going on right now. It could have been a face in Bray's place; Bray is a face for a lot of fans.

Corporate Kane is tied up with the former Shield members.  Wouldn't have made sense to have him take on Cena.

I think it would have made the most sense to have Orton in the role of Bray.  He's one of the biggest heels.

It's official Cena gets a rematch at Night Of Champions.  Had to see that coming.

Brock can easily hold the title until Mania.  There aren't that many ppvs until then.

Night Of Champions, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, (maybe) EC, then Mania

You really don't need him for Hell In A Cell or TLC

Pretty sad that Summerslam is the 2nd biggest PPV of the year and there are two titles(Tag Team & US Title) not being showcased.

This will the 3rd or 4th PPV in a row with no US Title match.  Who really cares?  The title doesn't mean anything, they should really just ditch it already.

So...Jeff Jarrett is in Bullet Club, that's a bummer.

It's just to push Global Force.  I doubt he'll actually have any matches.

100% of the articles posted on WrestleZone are 100% bullshit

They also posted that NXT was being shut down a couple years ago

Canada is finally getting the WWE Network, but it's being offered as a cable channel and VOD library not the web service.

I'd put Sandman in there with New Jack.  The guy wasn't as nuts but he definately wasn't playing with a full deck.

This Swagger/Rusver feud is exactly what the WWE needs more of.  A mid-card feud that they actually build.

Anyone have any guesses about what they're gonna do with the Money in the Bank brief case?

I'm guessing nothing for a while.  You would assume that Lesnar is going to win the title at SummerSlam (they've been building to that for a while).  I doubt Lesnar would be okay with dropping the title to Rollins.  I guess the "perfect" situation would be to have Lesnar win the belt at SummerSlam then when Bryan comes back he wins the belt off Lesnar then Rollins cashes in on Bryan setting up a feud between those two.  I don't see that happening because of Bryan's return being up in the air.

LOL that was hilarious

So far this hasn't been a horrible episode.

Wow from the sounds of things I'm glad a missed it.

Nice, but you are gonna miss watching WWE Battlefield PPV though. . That sounds like it could be a pretty good show though so enjoy!

I will miss the PPV, but not because of this event.  The rad thing about Smash is they hold their events in the afternoons on the same day as WWE PPVs.  Then they screen the PPV after their event.  I haven't been to one, but I heard it's pretty rad cause the wrestlers come out and watch the PPV with you.  Unfortunatelty I've got a ball game tonight so I'll miss Battleground.  Which is balls cause I really want to see the Rollins/Ambrose match.

Headed to this today.  Pretty excited to see Steen in his last indie apperance in Ontario

WWE.com has CM Punk as one of the top 10 biggest cry babies in WWE history.  I guess Vince is a little butthurt.

That's what I think too. Where was Heyman at?

Lesnar's coming back so they're separating Cesaro from Heyman I assume.  Which is dumb.  It would be pretty sweet if he had a little stable of Cesaro and Lesnar. 

Great PPV (minus the Adam Rose match).  I honestly thought Reigns was going to win the title there for a minute.  Hopefully him or Cesaro will get pushed into the title picture after Lesnar/Cena finish their feud.

I'm also shocked the Wyatt's didn't win the tag titles.
