As will I, if I'm not in work Monday morning, y'know, we had a big Football game on at Wembley this week between England and France and there was a bit of a threat to that as it was so soon after the tragic events and that went ahead without any problems, albeit with heavy police presence and beefed up security, this sort of reminds me of that now, if they think its a serious threat then maybe it shouldn't go ahead but if not they can do it with extra security there....
 
Statement from Triple H saying there is no credible threat to the show and it goes ahead with extra precautionary security measures.

Anyway Survivor Series tonight, here is the card..

Dolph Ziggler v Tyler Breeze

WWE World Heavyweight Championship Tournament, Semi Finals
Roman Reigns v Alberto Del Rio
Dean Ambrose v Kevin Owens

WWE Divas Championship
Charlotte (c) v Paige

Undertaker and Kane v Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman

WWE World Heavyweight Championship Tournament, Final


No Kick-off show is being advertised as far as I know, my prediction is the same as pretty much everyone else, Reigns Ambrose in the final, Reigns turns heel as he wins the title and joins the Authority, it will be Strowman joining Wyatt in their Tag match....
 
It's funny that they're about to have both mid card title holders lose to two other people on the same show. I'd like to see either ADR get through just to make it less predictable tbh.
 
There is a Kick-Off show, no match made for that yet, but seeing as there is no traditional 5 on 5 match on the card I reckon they might throw one together....
 
That whole PPV was just bad. I only cared about seeing 'Taker in the first place, but I mean...

Sheamus as champion, really? I've always been indifferent towards Reigns but if I had to choose between him and Sheamus, it'll be Reigns all day every day.
 
Cesaro is reportadly out injured too. Shoulder issues. Could need surgery that would take him out for 6 months.
 
I thought the PPV was ok, the tournament had no surprises for me, the final was actually a shorter match than the Divas match, and with all the pyro and tickertape going on and the fact there was about 15 minutes left, you just knew something else was going to happen..

Actually thought the Divas match was probably match of the night although Owens v Ambrose was really good, Undertaker's entrance was awesome! But that match was very much by the numbers, both 5 on 5 matches and Ziggler v Breeze was really meh, crowd was hit and miss too, they were so quiet during Ziggler/Breeze but fantastic during the Taker match.

Glad the show went ahead without a hitch with all those rumours and threats beforehand, good move to have Lillian sing Star-Spangled Banner at the top of the show as an act of defiance...

WWE's injury problems have got a whole lot worse with Cesaro being out, I don't think the pool of top stars has ever been as small as it is right now!
 
Did not like Sheamus as WWEWHC. Was expecting Reigns to turn heel and join The Authority just like his cousin The Rock when he won the title and decided to align with Vince and The Corporation thus making the Austin vs McMahon storyline. Could you imagine Ambrose as Austin while HHH as Vince?
 
Raw was alright I thought, no surprise whatsoever that Sheamus v Reigns has been made for TLC, what else can they do??

Cesaro out for 4-6 months after surgery on his right shoulder rotary cuff, anyone else what to get injured now?! :irked:
 
Not a fan of the whole way Survivor Series went down. It felt way to similar to 2013 Summerslam, and honestly. I wouldn't mind a proper face champion run. Outside of John Cena, we have never seen a proper face WWEWHC run since Summerslam 2013 (though Daniel Bryan was injured) and I'm honestly sick of seeing Heel WWEHC Champions all the time and WHY DO THEY ALWAYS HAVE TO BE APART OF THE AUTHORITY (I count Brock Lesnar too as there was an alliance between them when Lesnar became Champion)! This event just proves to me why the whole Authority either needs to die or just Authority be an actual Authority and not be involved in any major storylines, this is getting old honestly.

Also, Rusev and Barrett randomly joining the Authority on Raw was completely 🤬 and made no sense outside them being Heels.

Also looks like the whole Paige vs Charlotte angle is going to be exactly like the CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan angle, just without the crazy love triangle, which I don't have much of an issue as the CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan feud was my favourite feud in 2012 and I think pulling a similar angle of that isn't as bad as Authority being a complete rip off of the Cooperation.

I'm actually finding more interest in the Jack Swagger and Alberto Del Rio feud and is nice to see Jack Swagger get some spotlight and hopefully Jack actually gets a push out of it unlike his feud with Rusev where it was just Jack being fed to Rusev.

Two words for the ending... Knew it.
The sad past is that, this whole thing was too predictable :(.

The only problem I have with Del Rio right now is the whole MexAmerica thing and him being aligned with Zeb Coulter, that thing is terrible and really weak and i don't think ADR needs it or Coulter, I'd be perfectly fine with just him on his own...

I honestly like it, though it could be because their heelish motives are more fresh than the Authority.
 
So RAW last night was a bit better than last week but they are still losing viewers big time recently (25% of their audience since July), Tommy Dreamer made a surprise return to align with the Dudleys in their feud with the Wyatts, Lana is also back, and Sheamus set up a new stable called 'League of Nations' with Barrett, Del Rio and Rusev, but it could be just back-up for him whilst he is champ like Rollins had back-up in Kane and J&J when he was champ.
 
The biggest surprise last night was seeing sheamus wearing a shirt and having fancy hair. Something you dont see every day.

But yea, last night was pretty meh
 
Does anyone have a hunch that the reason behind Sheamus winning Money in the Bank and becoming WWE Champion is because they still want Sheamus v Daniel Bryan III to happen after it was shot down twice?

Maybe Daniel Bryan will return at the Royal Rumble and win.

I honestly wouldn't mind seeing it happening this way, Daniel Bryan would be getting proper treatment and there is a history with Sheamus and Daniel Bryan (WM28 and the fact that in storyline wise according to Sheamus, Sheamus injured Daniel Bryan forcing him to vacate the Intercontinental Championship_
 
:lol:

There are rumours that Kevin Owens might make an alliance with the League of Nations like New Day or even join since he is Canadian.

I hope this doesn't happen as a Kevin Owens fan, he is so much better as a lone wolf heel, he doesn't need a group to elevate his heel status.

Also does anyone think that the League of Nations is actually a reference to The United Kingdom stable in WWE '12 RTW?
