Alicia was injured? I figured she was just off tv because they had nothing for her when there's nobody she needs to job to.


Yeah since before the Rumble

Remember Kairi Sane got her spot at the last minute


Was it ever confirmed it was her or Ember?

It was confirmed to be Kairi. Ember spots were planned so she would have a run-in with Asuka.

Jakyl25 posted...
Theres even a scene in the documentary about the Womens Rumble where Kairi shows up to the runthrough and theyre like She just found out shes in it!


Thank you.

I like to imagine Brock yelled Why are you such a shitty booker!


"Even I acknowledge that it makes no sense for me to win this match!"

Maybe they gave him the ol CM Punk special:

"Make Roman look strong!"
"Well if you want him to look strong maybe he should win."
"No, you're winning, just make him look strong anyway!"

Well, given my low opinion of Vince, I'm going to assume that Brock was scripted to shake Roman's hand and raise his arm because it was a hard fought match, and that would make Roman look even stronger in a loss.

In reality, I doubt that was the case, but still fun to guess.


Oh man, now Im picturing in my head Roman doing that slow, sad walk to the back and then as soon as he gets to the curtain, Brock lifts him up and F5s him on the stage.

We go off the air with a static wide shot of the WM stage with Romans corpse dead center

Watched a bit of WM. Not much for me from the outside looking back in. I like the old guys doing old things but I guess at this point I can watch youtube highlights of the glory days.

I did like the visual of RR all bloody and enraged. I assume WWE was hoping to hit the reset button with him and have fans respect his effort and not be upset that he won. But I think they don't realize how much fans are sick of him and see through that nonsense. It's gotta be heel time for him.

I haven't watched in a long time but it was nice to see Luke Harper looking good out there. And the Rousey match was well done.

Brocks contract ran out so we stripped him of the title. There will be a tournament of all Raws Current Champions to see who is the new Universal Champion.

Tag Team Champion Braun Strowman will face Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander in the first semifinal

Then in the second semifinal, Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins will face Tag Team Champion Nicholas!

Satin told you for the last FOURTEEN MONTHS!!!! that Roman was going over last night. The sheets were wrong again, why do any of you listen to these guys? Unless it's just entertainment stuff.

So, let me get this straight, Brock apparently did something he wasn't supposed to do, or off script, and HE was the angry one at Vince when he came back and started yelling, about what? About something he decided to do?

Am I the only one that sees that makes 0 sense.

I'm going to choose to do something at work tomorrow and then yell at my boss about it even though it was different then what he told me.

I'd actually be okay with this, if Rousey can continue to improve. I can admit that I was wrong about her in ring ability, I thought she'd be terrible given her selling of being put through a table. I'd rather it be Asuka vs. Charlotte again, but I'm guessing they don't let the women close the show without a huge name like Rousey involved.

Still won't believe it until I actually see them closing the show though.

WrestleMania has passed, now it's time for title history update!

WWE Championship - With 293 total days across 2 reigns, AJ Styles is now tied with Ultimate Warrior for 18th place (out of 50)! He'll pass Warrior, Superstar Billy Graham, and Kurt Angle if he's still champion next week!

Universal - Sike! WWE kept the belt on Brock, who now has 372 days as Universal Champion, still #1 among four people. In terms of single world title reigns, only 6 people have held the WWE title longer than Brock's held the Universal (Cena, CM Punk, Pedro Morales, Backlund, Hogan, Sammartino)

IC - Miz's 8th IC reign puts him in 2nd place overall with 597 days, falling 22 days short of Pedro Morales for the top spot. Meanwhile, Seth Rollins, the 80th IC champion in history, is already tied for 78th with Zack Ryder, after having passed Dean Douglas in last!

US - Randy Orton finishes with 28 days, tied for 77th place with Seth Rollins. Meanwhile, Jinder Mahal becomes the 90th US champion in history; he's currently tied for last with Raven.

Raw Tag - Cesaro finishes in 9th place with 302 total days, while Sheamus finishes in 18th with 238. Braun Strowman and Nicholas are the 77th and 78th champions in the title's history, and are currently tied for last with Cena!

SD Tag - The Usos finish in the top 2 spots with 330 days each. Luke Harper takes 10th place for himself with now 25 days total as a SD tag champ, while Erick Rowan is in 13th place (last) with 1. Rowan can pass his former fellow Wyatt Family members, Bray and Orton, if he remains champion for 3 weeks.

Raw Women's - Alexa Bliss finishes at #1 with 335 days across two reigns. Nia Jax is now the 5th champion in the belt's history and will need 2.5 months to pass Bayley for 4th!

SD Women's - The Queen remains champion, as Charlotte now has 146 days, putting her in 2nd place out of 5 people. She'll pass Naomi for the top spot if she remains champion after SmackDown this week!

Cruiserweight - Cedric Alexander becomes the 8th champion in this belt's history. In a week, he can pass Akira Tozawa.

Made up titles that only us/the PWB follow
WWE's The Man: Brock Lesnar
Raw's Jobber Champion: Curt Hawkins
SD Jobber Champion: Vacant
Raw Women's Jobber Champion: Sonya Deville
SD Women's Jobber Champion: Vacant
Cruiserweight Jobber Champion: Ariya Daivari

They've done normal ppvs before, but those aren't mania (obviously). I think it's going to happen one day, if not prior to Vince being gone, after when Steph has more control. That would be one way to really step up the whole women's matches are on the same level as mens narrative. I think they could do it, and do it very well. Charlotte/Asuka seems to be considered one of the top, if not the top match from last night, so it's not like they can't get the job done. I think it'd be really cool to see.

Too much competition. WM guarantees at the very least, two high profile matches for ME-level titles. Maybe Taker to compete with. Maybe some Trips/McMahon thing to compete with. Maybe Brock or some other male celebrity involvement (The Rock or an actual male movie star or whatever).

If Trips and Steph don't get to main event with Rhonda, god knows Charlotte doesn't... This year's match contained three hall of famers, two of which were named McMahon for christ's sake!!!
