It looks like the plan for SummerSlam is still a triple threat with Seth Rollins defending the WWE world heavyweight championship against Roman Reigns and a returning Brock Lesnar.

WWE may address the injury situation with Daniel Bryan as early as tonight's episode of Raw.

Apparently the idea with Damien Sandow is to continue doubling people because the thought is that's what got him over. Not sure if that's true but apparently that's the feeling and it's what he'll be doing going forward, much like what we saw with Curtis Axel. I'll let you decide if that's a good idea or not.

Although it's taken longer than expected, Finn Balor and Charlotte are apparently both still on the short list of names expected to be called up to the main roster soon.

WWE has planned an "Appreciation Night" for Pat Patterson at Monday Night Raw tonight in Montreal but it appears to be a dark segment and won't be mentioned on the live broadcast.

LOL Sandow really can't get anything else for his character (playing celebrity characters, stunt double, & copying other WWE personas)

Not a legit source. Don't know why mods still allow stuff posted from here.

This is the absolute worst Sandow gimmick now, and that theme; holy fucking shit.

Expected, not great.It would be Rollin's third Triple Threat ppv match on ppv, and Roman and Lesnar's second in a little over half a year.And that's without counting the little triple threat skirmish they had at Mania.......

Lets just get Roman's first title victory/reign over and done with before Wrestlemania, and by (hopefully) never actually beating Lesnar.

I'm fine with that mainevent at Summerslam but it could end how we all feared Mania was ending but not as grand as a scale and just 4 months later and that means Reigns winning. That would not be good.

In regards to Bryan, I stand firmly by the idea of him taking a very very long time off and recovering fully even just resting his body for a few years, I hope the WWE don't fuck around with it and tell it how it is this time.

And poor Sandow, they don't value him one bit, it's so evident.

That SummerSlam main event sounds good, but I have the feeling the only reason it would be a triple threat is to prevent Brock from eating a pin.

I hope WWE do finally reveal what Bryan's injury is. Even if it is bad at least we will know and we no longer have to worry and speculate.

I'd rather see Brock vs Rollins one-on-one but the triple threat match makes sense given it's a "rematch" from Wrestlemania (only we'll get the full-length match this time), but in that case why the hell are they putting Reigns into a triple threat with Rollins at Payback as well? Reigns and Rollins together in two separate triple-threat matches only a few months apart sounds odd.

Don't really give a toss that they're gonna keep having Damien Sandow imitate people, tbh. Comedy is what he does best and it's what I'd like to see him keep doing.

GTFO with Reigns from SS main event, I want a proper 1 vs. 1.

Can't wait to see how they will book Balor and Charlotte on main roster.
















Probably badly.

Here's Bryans update:

In the middle of a match, oh BTW Daniel bryan will be out for the next couple of months due to an undisclosed injury, up next us king bad news vs neville for the now vacant ic title.

Jbl: we finally get a real champ instead of a goat faced troll!

All 3 Laugh Like The cockburglars They are.

And summerslam has reigns victory coronation written as ll over it. Vince always gets what he wants, and the fans making him wait 5 months has probably pissed him off so bad we now get a 2 year reigns title run.

I can't believe anyone is actually calling for Brock vs. Seth Rollins 1v1. That match shouldn't go longer than 5 minutes, Seth isn't believable at all to go against Lesnar on his own.

Ambrose ain't winning shiT. And it doesn't matter, whatever he does he's a loser. As a face he's behind Cena, reigns and orton. As a heel he will magically turn into a bitch like Rollins and get his ass kicked by reigns.

The only problem Vince has is coming up with enough guys to feed to the super twins. His solution is probably turn everybody, and ambrose is most likely first.

I'd almost love it if they turned Ambrose heel... because I know it would just backfire on them and get him even more over than he already is. Turn him heel on Reigns and have them feud and watch how there's hardly a single soul chanting for Reigns over him. Even the women who usually get moist between the legs for Roman would be converted over to Dean's side. :ambrose

Reigns being in the main event doesn't make sense , he is already getting his Mania rematch at Payback.Of course, Rollins is going to win which means that Reigns should be done with the title picture for a while and not be back 3 months later.
But who cares about logic ?
:vince5 " I care DAMMIT, but it's NOT logic here son in the sports entertainment universe it's WWELogic OH YEAH, which means DA LOOK trumps logic ANY & EVERY day of the week. Allow me to introduce YOUR soon to be WWE Champion.......:reigns2 :vince2.......Now up up & AWAY"

And keep Bàlor on NXT for the love of God.
there is nothing for him to do on nxt and he doesn't need to be there as long as he is (coming up on a year now)...the fact he is 34 in 2 months is another reason to bring him up now. balor was a top guy in new japan playing before houses as big as 40,000 when he joined wwe so he shouldn't wasting his time in 50 seat armouries in florida 4 nights a week teaming with 50 year old billy fucking gunn while the main roster are wrestling in 10,000 seat venues in ottawa and montreal the same weekend.

he isn't going to beat owens (or should he). kenta is clearly the guy that nxt are building as the face of that brand over the next year or so which is smart because he still needs to get used to the wwe/western tv style while allowing you sell the network to the japanese market in 2016 (where it has yet to launch)

i would rather see balor weekly against cena/sheamus, competing in money in the bank than 2 minutes once a month against tye dillinger...of course if you think the latter is better for a 34 year old in the prime of his career i can't argue :D
