Spoiler: spoilers for Battleground PPV matches

Apparently the WWE is legit advertising for July's Battleground PPV Orton vs Reigns and Ambrose vs Rollins, so who the hell knows at this point.

 

I didn't even realize there was a PPV inbetween Money in the Bank and Summerslam.

Daniel Bryan was on the pre-show and said he may have to have another neck surgery.

 

Either way, I'm actually looking forward to Lesnar getting a run. If he's smart he'll stay all the way until Mania.

It's truely the perfect opportunity in terms of giving the belt to a high profile guy in and outside the ring, who actually looks like a MONSTER. Someone that can't be beat. The great thing about his little run so far is that they've built up the monster gimmick. Having him stay mostly quiet, Heyman being his manager, him breaking arms, and destroying big guys. Yeah he's been beaten by both Cena and HHH, but he also beat them to. And obviously you have him pretty much destroying TAKER at Mania.

It's a chance for an OLD school, I'm talking 70's, style champion. That big #$^&er, who comes off as a true champ. He wouldn't even have to defend it all the time on PPV. Kinda like a Harley Race style champion.

Add this to the fact that they could use Lesnar's champ run in order to give the business some more public attention. Then again I'm looking at that from an alternate world where WWE would use this as a chance to take the business more seriously and realisticly.

 

"Bo, leave."

Excellent, they did the pun, now the character can quietly vanish, right?

 

:-(

 

Usos retain the Tag titles in a really good match.

 

That's surprising. I thought for sure this would be the night they'd do the tag title switch to the Wyatts. Especially given Rowan and Harper debuted seperate music from Bray this last Monday as a tag team.

 

Seth Rollins is Mr. Money in the Bank.

 

Figured it would either be him or Ambrose that got the briefcase.

Edit: They dressed Sandow as Paul Revere? Seriously?!

 

Yeah that happened.

 

This is just like an average Raw so far. All the usual suspects...

It seems the crowd couldn't give a **** about the Rhodes Brothers either.

 

Wind the clock back a year: Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow were the last two men standing in the MitB match with Sandow winning. A year later they are Paul Revere and Stardust. Things go downhill fast in the WWE.

 

Cena wins. The main event wasn't very good but the MitB match and the Tag Team title match were both really good.

 

At least they didn't let Orton walk out with the Belts.

Edit: Apparently Orton needed at least 12 staples to close a cut on his head that he got when a ladder hit him.

 

My 8 year old was happy Cena won!!! #Best for business

 

I fell asleep before the main event, I'm not sure how much I missed, I feel I've seen it all before anyway.

 

RVD is beginning to show the age, I'm afriad. Have noticed he's been trying to make his matches look less spotty.

Trying to think, not counting HHH, but is he the oldest worker on the roster? Wait..wait...I think Kane is.

 

It was nice of Paige to keep the belt warm while AJ was on vacation.

 

Yeah, likely Kane I think, at least as far as currently active on the roster.

Barrett's out with a seperated shoulder, stripped of the IC Title. WIll be decided in a battle royal at Battleground.

Also the title will be decided in a four - way at Battle ground between Cenal, Reigns, Kane and Orton.

Also

Spoiler

AJ Lee (or Mrs. CM Punk) returned and won the Divas belt from Paige.

Also nice of Miz to warm up the crowd for Jericho.

 

Yeah and he doesn't even get a feud with Jericho out of it. Not that I'm complaining Jericho vs Wyatt is much more interesting than Jericho vs. Miz.

 

lol

 

For those of you wondering why Emma missed Santino's party...

Saw that on Meltzer's site. Apparently, her side of the story is that she forgot to scan a $20 IPod through the Self - Checkout counter.*


*And this would be one of the reasons why I prefer not to do the Self - Checkout counter.

 

Spoiler

Apparently Miz vs Jericho is Monday.

Also powdery substance found at WWE Headquarters.
