(I've not seen Smackdown, so I don't know if anything else has been announced yet.)

There are some good matches, and some bad matches. Standard WWE PPV.

I'll say this much, Charlotte should retain, but not with a clean decision. Its too early in the program to put the belt on Becky...there's a lot more of the chase to go.

edit: ideally this would be a new champ at Survivor Series, and then build an Asuka/Becky program for Wrestlemania

I hope Brie and Maryse botch so bad that Miz/DB shoot one another a look and start laughing.

They have positionned Becky as the clear heel so I expect her to win on Sunday and Charlotte to do the chase.

This will be a horrible show. Sad to see Alexa and Braun job to Ronda and Roman again. I doubt we'll see anything that special from Jeff Hardy to save the show. Jeff is old and broken nowadays. And Orton is totally useless in a match like this. Dude never takes any cool bumps. The only interesting stuff with Orton is his backstage stuff were he masturbates in front of the writers and goes number two in the diva's handbags.

Alexa SHOULD be losing to Ronda, though. She's better on the mic, no doubt (and better on the eyes, IMHO ;)), but Ronda is superior at everything else.

Agreed on Braun. Vince and WWE Creative....probably mostly Vince....just too stubborn to give up on the idea that fans want Roman as the top guy. He'll never get there.

That said, I mentioned in another thread that Vince's plan is likely for the Shield to hold every belt on Raw. Which means Roman retains and Dean/Seth get the tag belts.

I really hope I'm wrong but that's how I think it'll play out.

As for Hardy/Orton, not much interest there but I bet we'll see another "RKO FROM OUTTA NOWHERE" at some point, either to win the match or get a near-fall. I dislike Hardy less so I hope he wins. :dunno:

Alexa was elevated specifically to job to Ronda.

I do still think there was more money in Alexa sneaking out cheats/getting DQ'd/etc to continue to see the Rousey chase. A lot of things in WWE are just super rushed and then never progress. A solid arc is all i'm looking for. :)


And for the poster... I thought I remembered a CM Punk version and googled it. Was this real at the time? I totally remember this:

Seeing a talent like Alexa fed to someone like Ronda who's only doing this to stay relevant after MMA went south is going to be so depressing.

feeding aside, its pretty clear its not just about relevance for Rousey. she seems very passionate about pro wrestling

Maybe if Ronda doubles or triples her training and the stars align she can one day hope to be as talented as Alexa?

Ronda is already better in ring than Alexa

Decent enough card. Hoping Rollins and Ambrose don't win tonight. Need to start teasing dissension within the ranks of The Shield.
