Fucking right Iyo Sky! That's awesome.

I don't watch WWE regularly but this seems like a great match (Seth vs. Finn). Who's going to win? Seth I'm guessing?

[–] HarrBear 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hard to say! Seth could win, but Finn winning and then having to worry about Priest cashing in is a more interesting story

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's true. Again, I'm just an outsider, but I'd be surprised if they 'fractured' Judgment Day already. Sounds like WWE's caught lightning in a bottle with them.

[–] HarrBear 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They really have. The entire group is over like crazy. I wouldn't want them broken up.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it seems way too early for that. The bits I've seen of them they've ruled. Rhea's a badass.

[–] HarrBear 4 points 1 year ago

Cody has arrived for sure. Brock doesn't raise anybody's hand like that.

[–] captmrwill 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well, the Jimmy thing didn't make much sense...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think it did, before Roman injured him he went through a list of things Jey was responsible for and how Jey was holding Jimmy back.

[–] Travon333 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe Roman was right. Jimmy never wanted Jey to be the right hand man.

Jey in that promo before they both turned did sound real when he said he was always In Jimmy's shadow too.

[–] captmrwill 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What matches have they done so far?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rico vs. Paul

Cody vs. Lesnar

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

How'd the Cody match go?

[–] Travon333 4 points 1 year ago

Tune in time to see Logan use some brass knuckles for a KO punch.

[–] Travon333 3 points 1 year ago

This is about to be a emotional rollercoaster isn't it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm tired of Lesnar vs. Cody and hope this ends it forever. Lesnar our here doing his SpongeBob impression with those ripped pants.

[–] Travon333 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'm tuning back in to him getting his beat which has been the visual for most of the feud.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

AND HERE WE GO!!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This has to be Roman, right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm sorry, but you can't blame Damian for that one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Gunther and McIntyre are putting on a good show, I disliked the Bayzler Rhoda stuff... and I know it says Rhoda but I'm not correcting it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's the 'seven years' stand for? Genuinely curious.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's been 7 years since the 2016 match that Seth injured Finn

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Awesome. Thanks a lot.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hope you guys enjoy the show. I'll be here the minute Collision ends.

[–] Travon333 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty much the same. Gonna try to catch this during the Collision commercial breaks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You watching?

[–] Travon333 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, caught the end of the Gunther McIntyre match, saw the Judgement day drama. And I personally liked how they handled Iyo cashing in on a Bianca win.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I haven't seen much of Iyo but I really like her. I'm guessing she isnt champ for long though ;/

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is Brock retiring taking off his gloves ?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just tuned in. Did Brock leave his gloves in the ring?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He threw it off to hug Cody

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Asuka vs. Charlotte vs Bianca. Who you got?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

iyo!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Even better!! lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

My wild guess is Charlotte. I'm hoping for Asuka though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Damn, this has gone past midnight EST.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

If you're a WWE fan you must be pretty thrilled. This is like a 5-10 year storyline coming to fruition.
