And Rusev won the #1 contender match on Rusev Day!

AJ and Nakamura vs Zayn and Owens tonight


Zayn vs Owens next week for the #1 contender. Winner gets Styles at FastLane.

Hot take: Remember 17 Zayn vs Owens matches ago when they fought for the last time ever? Well, they'll fight at Wrestlemania.

and now Roode will have to face Rusev on Rusev Day!!!

Really hoping for a double turn in the US title match next week. Roode is such a better jerk/pompous heel and Rusev could be a money babyface

So Uso 1 just said he goes with his brother, Uso 2 every night?

Kinda thought AOP was about to debut there

I wish, or even better, War Machine.

I like the Harper and Rowan a lot, but the gimmick is bad and their finisher is even worse.

I was hoping Carmella would get it right there, but there's no way they get away from Ronda vs Charlotte.

I feel like Carmella was a lot better in ring talent wise in nxt. She seems to be a tier or two below the cream of the women’s division lately.

Doesnt help she has the worst theme song ever. It kills everything.

They deserve a match at Mania in all honestly though.

I know some people have seen this match enough but it doesn’t get old enough to me.

i Disagree. Asuka. ugh. i cringe when she comes out. so annoying.

Really pulling for Rusev

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I'm not a fan of Balor, especially the non demon version.

Non demon Balor has zero character.

demon or no, he is a great in ring performer.
one of the best currently on the roster.

yeah it's old imo. I'm also sick of the Kevin Owens becoming best friends with someone story line. He's one of my recent favorites. Very good arsenal of moves, quick for his size, can have a good match with anyone (except goldberg). i liked the rogue persona thing he had going on before linking back up with zayne. he was a calmer baron corbin.

I just wish he had a real mean streak instead of the whiny heel. Maybe it’s because WWE is wanting to stray from bully characters, but as is well documented, I’m tired of the whiny heel. Just cheat, be slimy and make it a point to piss off the fans.

I think that's what baron corbin's pitch is. dude whines, but he cleans house. yeah, you're right. kevin had way too many whiny monologues when he was the us champ.

Rockstar Spud was revealed as the 205 Live GM, he is now going by Drake Maverick. He announced there'll be a 16 man tournament to crown a new cruiserweight champion and the finals will be at Mania. There was two tournament matches last night, TJ Perkins defeated Tyler Bate and Cedric Alexander defeated Gran Metalik. They'll will be two more matches next week.......Kalisto vs Lince Darado and Hideo Itami vs Roderick Strong.

His NXT character was just that. Dude won the title by TKO. They made him this crazy bully, but with real purpose. It was such a great character and then WWE neutured it.

Yea. Corbin yells. Kinda like Braun. But all of their pursuits are dead ends. I have no faults with either of them. I can’t remember the last time Owens didn’t whine. I wish Miz was doing his current act without Axel and Dallas. He’s the crafty, evil heel that does whatever it takes.

Which I think is what makes me hate this version so much. That whole nxt persona is gone. Add that he’s legitimately funny and it just ruins everything he’s supposed to be for me.

So does anyone think they will do a double turn next week with Roode and Rusev?
