Didn't Jinder's big homecoming tour, well not technically his home as he's canadian, get cut to one date and him jobbing out to HHH because it didn't sell as well as expected, which was the whole point of making him champ in the first place. I think they are done with Jinder as champ and probably as a main eventer, or at least they should be. Keep AJ as champ till mania where he can face Nakamura.

They wouldve made more money making Rusev champ back then and doing a Russia tour.
Everything is telling me AJ is going to win, but I looked at the matches and I think there's got to be at least one title change, and I feel that the WWE Title match is the most likely candidate just because of how fecking god awful the booking for it has been since Wrestlemania. Charlotte has to beat Natalya to move that feud on. Think Corbin's got to retain the US title because I don't think he's properly defended it yet. Similarly think The Usos have to retain because they haven't defended it since winning it back. That leaves AJ vs Jinder, and AJ's probably one of few who could eat a dirty loss to Jinder and the Singhs and not really take a hit in terms of his stance on the card. Basically, I think AJ's losing or no titles are changing hands.
Jinder did lose to Trips, but he also went 30 minutes and looked strong, and his finisher was protected. I also think he kicked out of a pedigree.
Happy Rusev Day Guys
Mojos promo on Twitter was great.
Good start this
Do wish there was no music for Ziggler would suit his new gimmick so well
Solid match with a botch ending, I like it.
Rusev Day is well and truly over!
Dude with the long hair and white shirt in the front row is at every PPV.
I'm finding it really hard to be arsed about this (Smackdown in general).
Was that a retirement speech?
Hopefully.
Fast 3count from DB
No hesitancy in saying this that Aj styles is surely one of the best performers in Wwe. This guy knows how to make a match exciting. Really wish he keep holds of the title till mania and defends it against a nakamura or even Cena.
This is absolutely awful.
The Young Bucks just aren't for me I don't think.
I fecking hate the Young Bucks and am glad they are getting shit on for that crap.
But they sell t-shirts so that makes them beyond reproach according to loads on Reddit/Twitter.

I miss those old wwe/f erase when every or most big match had a story to it.Not just flips and kicks without any story.
There is surely a Daniel Bryan vs Shane O’Mac match brewing. I wouldn’t think they’d allow him inside the ring whilst action is going on unless he has been cleared. Oh god, Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles at Mania. I just got goosebumps.
Gable > Lesnar...
Also, that's how to do a proper spot.

Just think we could have a double main event at Wrestlemania.
The shield guys in a falls count anywhere triple threat match for the universal title and AJ styles vs Daniel Bryan for the WWE title.
Instead we’ll get Roman vs Brock again
.
In my line up you could also have Triple H vs Shane.
I’d have Brock up against a returning Batista. Just as the bell is about to ring, the lights go out and out comes undertaker to make it a triple threat match.
I can but dream.

I liked how Rusev couldn't stay in character when the fans were getting behind him, WWE need to try him as a face not sure how it would work with English though.
AJ Styles v Jinder match was good by both men, Jinder although I'm not a fan he does work hard and has improved a lot.

I do love a good chaos theory, and the one on English looked brutal. Was a fun PPV in the end, crowd were hot too.
To be fair, English asking if they wanted an encore was probably the biggest pop of the night.
They need to do a spot at Rumble or WM with English and the Drifter.
I also think both Rusev and Bray would benefit a huge amount from being faces. Rusev is on the way to being that imo.
Gable is fantastic and needs more time to shine.
AJ is great. I truly believe he will be champ until WM and deserves to. (Hope they dont have him hold it until the PPV before and lose it to some part timer).

Really enjoyed Clash of Champions. Crowd was super hot all night, which makes a huge difference. I’m some what surprised to learn that people online were way more mixed.
US Title Triple Threat was great. Roode is still really over, Ziggler is great in the ring and Corbin hung too.
Tag Titles match was very good once the awkwardness of the format was got past. They need to find a better way of doing multi-team tag matches. A great finishing sequence and all four teams will be more over after the match.
Owens and Zayn match was a bit of a clusterfeck, but the finish was fine. Bryan is still the biggest star in front of a hot crowd. I hope they are building to his in-ring return. If not, he’s going to have a great time on the indies.
Not popped for a world title retention like Styles’ for a long while. Is Mahal over with me if I really enjoyed the match and was desperate for Styles to win? Styles could get me involved in him defending against a broom though. I hope is next programme is against someone other than Corbin though.

Finn Balor = Leather jacket and rock hard abs. That's all he is.
So the Women's rumble is official. Guessing they'll have Rousey win it.
My hope would be Paige beats Alexa at the Rumble for the title, and Asuka wins the Rumble to challene Paige at WM.
I just can't stand Paige... I hate her promo style, I'm not a fan of her work... she's just an automatic fast forward to me, no matter what she's involved in.
That would be almost as stupid as having James Ellsworth win the first women's MITB.
Asuka or Becky lynch would be my pick to win it.
I would have said bayley to set up a match with sasha but theyve destroyed her character so much ive stopped caring.

I was thinking they should just have Stephanie win it since shes the sole reason for the womens revolution.
Clearly.
Its all her.
They should all bow down to her.
Cough Rumor has it Trish Stratus is going to be in it. They do I would think have 3-4 slots to fill. I think there are 11 woman on Raw and two will be out for a title fight, 10 on Smackdown with 2 out for a title fight. That’s if it’s a 20 woman royal rumble as speculated, but who knows could be NXT people in it.
I think Brie and Nikki Bella will be in it and Rousey. Rousey 20th entrant, massive pop, win it, then they can spend months getting her ready to squash someone at Mania more than likely.

Perfect way for the women to truly be equal with the male side.
Have a part timer come in, destroy the division and then leave after WM leaving the roster in worse shape than it was.

I really can’t see Rousey being a full timer and if she isn’t going to be the champ what really is the point other than maybe just come in to beat Asuka.
Knowing WWE I bet they’d have her squash Asuka as well. Spend years building up this unstoppable force then have it be squashed by a part timer. Or maybe they’ll have her fight Roman.
Should get that checked out mate.
Everyone knows Roman Reigns is winning both the men's and women's royal rumble.
