Raw/SD/NXT/PPV Spoilers - Part 4

[Kimi]

Is EC3 just going to be another Chris Masters, memorable for the physique and not much else?

Was hoping he'd make at least SOME impact (lol) on Raw, but seems to have failure to launch written all over him.

His talking is better than his looks, and he's non-terrible at wrestling. He's perfect for WWE, they just don't do anything.

Cold introduction and zero plans. Your standard NXT call up :/.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

And the crazy thing is EC3 is way more of a main roster guy than NXT guy. It’s amazing how they already screwed him up. Amazing.

As for the NXT 4, Smackdown is so stacked as it is lol.

 

[Cor]

I don’t get how they call people up without any sort of plan.

That’s not how a successful business runs. It’s mind boggling.

If I went to my CEO or COO or CFO, and asked to do something, and they asked what my plan was, and I said “I dunno” they would glare me out of the room.

HHH must lose his mind

 

[GKJ]

It's obvious they had no plan. They re-wrote the show yesterday, they last run of call ups was like...a month ago and they were announced at Christmas? They did 2 reset shows in the matter of 2 months. I bet that match with Ronda and Ruby last night was the match they were going to do on Sunday, but they re-wrote that show too on the day-of. And the show tonight I bet was re-written considering that they made the switch to do Kofi vs. Bryan in the 2 days since the re-written show on a day where they re-wrote a show.

 

[The Gongshow]

Looks like we're getting Kofi vs Bryan at Fastlane, so probably no Kofi-Mania

Well.....unless he wins.

- Gargano opened the NXT tapings for next week’s episode talking about how he lost the title to Dream. How he got to bring the championship to RAW and SmackDown. Ciampa interrupts and says he lost last week because he refused Ciampa’s help. He says RAW and SmackDown proved Gargano is at his best when he’s in the ring with Ciampa.

Ciampa says they should enter the Dusty Rhodes classic, win it and then take the NXT Titles at the TakeOver WrestleMania weekend.

Gargano and Ciampa shake hands and reunite

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I feel like Raw and SD really f***ed up what they were going to do here, but there’s still hope for Johnny to cost Ciampa in the finals, turn his back on him and do Gargano vs. Ciampa finale in Chicago or something.

One of the post wrestling guys suggested that very angle, he's going to mark out.

 

[ColePens]

Being a weekly watcher of NXT.. I'm just very happy HHH is trying to salvage continuity. Shows you how much it means to him.

 

[Cor]

Looks like Riddle vs Dream for the NA Title at the next TakeOver.

Black/Ricochet, and the Forgotten Sons are into round 2 of the Dusty Classic.

Black Ricochet face the winner of DIY and Fish/KOR

Forgotten Sons face winner of Moustache Mountain and Street Profits

 

[GKJ]

Wonder if they'll go do Ricochet vs. Black

 

[GKJ]

DIY came out to DIY music

 

[GKJ]

Look who else showed up

 

[The Gongshow]

So are we getting Black/Ricochet vs Heel DIY at the Mania TakeOver? Interesting..

 

[M.C.G. 31]

So... what?

Dream/Riddle
DIY/Black-Ricochet
Cole/???
Raiders/UE

 

[Kakko]

So are we getting Black/Ricochet vs Heel DIY at the Mania TakeOver? Interesting..

I think the winner gets a title shot at War Raiders at Mania Takeover. There's another taping in 3 weeks.

 

[GKJ]

DIY and Ricochet/Black are fighting each other in the tournament.

Later in the tapings it seemed like they were doing Adam Cole vs. Dream.

 

[Kakko]

DIY vs. Ricochet/Black happening now, including DIY gear. Other finalists are Forgotten Sons (over MM), so I'm guessing they're the next real tag team challengers.
Tapings are almost up to 4 hours now, which is weird. Next taping is in 3 weeks, with only 6 shows til Takeover.

Edit: Ricochet/Black win

 

[Kakko]

[M.C.G. 31]

I still feel like they had to somewhat rush it after this main roster bs, but it still works so f***ing well. Salvaged it perfectly.

Papa H thank u

 

[GKJ]

They’ll also know where they stand on tv after the PPV.
