Another thought: It’s been pretty well-established that Money in the Bank contracts can’t be cashed in if the champion is unconscious. Has anyone tried faking it?
Was anyone clamoring for the first one?
I would rather fracking Carmella wasn’t the champ. That’s like trading in your McLaren for a Daewoo.
No, they wasted enough time with each other last time.
I would tend to agree, but how long do you think she’ll have it with Charlotte and Asuka around?
Given Vince’s love of chickenshit heel champs who win when other people help him? About 6-8 months at the least.
I’m guessing Charlotte will take the next few weeks getting revenge on the Iconics (doesn’t have the same ring as Iconic Duo), and Carmella will defend against Naomi and Becky Lynch and eke out wins. Maybe they’ll bring James Ellis back to run interference for her.
I think Asuka is still considered RAW talent, so she’ll have a go at Nia’s belt and <gasp> lose.
I dunno, Charlotte gets a rematch against Carmella. I think that will end up a three way (giggity) with Asuka ending with Asuka taking the belt from Carmella and then going back to feuding with Charlotte.
I don’t think the Iconics have the skills to hang with Charlotte, that was just to make an impact and set up Carmella. I could see them ‘picking on’ individual wrestlers though, like Becky Lynch, who hasn’t had a feud in a year. Start with them kicking her ass a couple of times and beating her down then Lynch wins the blow off match to elevate her back up to being able to feud with whoever is champ in 4-6 months.
When was the last time somebody tried cashing in MITB only to be told, “Sorry, but the champion is unconscious, so you can’t”?
Speaking of which, when was the last time a face won a MITB contract? It’s sort of like having the faces win the coin toss at a WarGames match - it pretty much defeats the purpose.
Looks like Rusev Day may be coming to an end. Rusev has been pulled from the casket match, and has removed everything WWE related from his Twitter profile. He also said
Just like WWE to waste someone who built themselves organically.
Whatever. I’m over Ru-Ru’s antics. He and Lana have done enough harm to themselves by crossing the WWE that I’m barely even sympathetic towards him anymore. Get out of here and make way for someone else.
Although I also heard that he and Lana financed/created a movie or something, so he might just be doing that.
Honestly I couldn’t tell you what they’ve done over the last six months to be in the dog house and I don’t fucking care anymore. Either WWE needs to get their shit together and stop punishing the man, or they need to release him.
To me this is like a fight between two children, one of whom is president of the club and has it out for the other. They’re both at fault and I’m fucking tired of the fallout.
Rusev is a fan favorite, he sells merch. Lana is a bitch and if she’s the problem, release her and keep him. She hasn’t proven herself as a wrestler or talent except as a generic Russian manager.
I have two questions I’d ask Vince or Trips about it;
“What the fuck is your problem with Rusev and why can’t you solve it?”
It could be that Rusev knows he’s going over to RAM and he’s just being cryptic.
Luke Harper’s tweets are in the form of “Today is Monday. You know what that means.” They’re probably just working the twitterverse.
Catch the E&C Podcast with Aleister Black.
Man, that guy is a motor mouth on the show! Completely unexpected, but interesting. He does repeat himself a bit, but in retrospect, he was pretty happy to be on the show and it was probably nerves.
At the very end when they’re trying to squeeze everything in, he puts over Velveteen Dream big time.
Cena and Nikki are breaking up.
This is my chance.
Go for it.
Far too high maintenance for me. And I’m not nearly rich and famous enough.
Which one?
Now that Laurel Van Ness left Impact, Nikki can take her jilted bride gimmick.
While I would never say “no” should Ms. Bella come on to me, neither is someone I would purposely pursue. I wish them both well in their future endeavours.
I got a ton of heat and bad words thrown at me elsewhere for saying it, but I’ll say it here.
The Bellas always impressed me as star fuckers from the very beginning. They were aiming for the top and they got them. Bryan Danielson was a top guy when Brie landed him. Cena is obviously the top guy.
The only thing that shocks me about this breakup is that it didn’t wait until 6-12 months **after **they got married. I’m going to go ahead and speculate that it had something to do with the prenuptial agreement.
Gods honest truth I wish all the best to Brie and Bryan, but I will be surprised if they are still married five years from now. I expect probably the closest thing to badmouthing her would be Bryan saying something like “Well, I had enough to retire on, but now I have less money and child support payments” as a reason for him to work more.
