Hope to see Ariya Daivari in the WWE someday. He can get some easy heel heat like his brother

 

[buzzy]

I don't even know why I watched this and why I have any expectations for this brand split. Haven't enjoyed a WWE show in so long.

 

[Pugz]

any guesses on who goes #1&#2?

 

[elcheato]

Seth Rollins and John Cena

Actually, watch Steph just pick all three shield members back to back to back. doesn't she get three in a row?

 

[Senators26]

I can't imagine that being the case, that'd be an insane disadvantage to SD. It will probably go R S R S R R S R S R R S and so on

Haven't been paying attention lately, so you're probably right here. 
 
But if it is Raw and then Smackdown, then I think it's obviously gonna be Rollins to Raw, and Ambrose to Smackdown 

 

[Senators26]

Definitely the case after what happened last Night

Hall of Famer Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka is among a number of retired wrestlers suing the WWE over claims the company hid the long-term effects of head and brain injuries.
 
The wrestlers allege the organization "placed corporate gain over its wrestlers' health, safety, and financial security, choosing to leave the plaintiffs severely injured and with no recourse to treat their damaged minds and bodies," reports Chris Dolmetsch from Bloomberg.
 
"Road Warrior Animal" Joseph Laurinaitis and "King Kong Bundy" Chris Pallies are among the other wrestlers in the suit that marks the latest litigation against a major sports and entertainment entity.
 
Unlike previous suits launched by former players in the NFL and NHL, the difference with the WWE is that matches involved specific moves the wrestlers claim are "scripted, controlled, directed, and choreographed" by the company. The moves led to the head injuries the plaintiffs claim to deal with on a daily basis.
 
"The WWE knows that its wrestlers including the plaintiffs are at great risk for these diseases such as CTE that can result in suicide, drug abuse, and violent behavior that pose a danger to not only the athletes themselves but their families and community, yet the WWE does nothing to warn, educate or provide treatment to them," the suit alleges.
 
Despite the claims, the WWE is confident in their defense and expects the suit to be dismissed.
 
"This is another ridiculous attempt by the same attorney who has previously filed class action lawsuits against WWE, both of which have been dismissed," the company said in a statement. "A federal judge has already found that this lawyer made patently false allegations about WWE, and this is more of the same."

 
 
This is going to go nowhere

Tonight's announce team will be Bryon Saxton, Mauro Ranallo, The King and Michael Cole. 4 man Booth. Michael Cole will be exclusive to Raw.

 

[elcheato]

They already let King back after the arrest?

 

[Senators26]

Joey Styles posted some video last week that people seem to forget that commentators are in play as well and to keep an eye on them. Probably doesn't mean anything tho

 

[Senators26]

They already let King back after the arrest?

Charges were dropped so his suspension was lifted

 

[elcheato]

They announced a rematch for the World Title tonight.
