Hideo Itami's addition to 205 live confirmed.

 

Still think he'll be returning to NOAH soon.

 

I'd have thought anyone taking a gig at 205live is heading back to the indies before long.

Does the live audience still leave in droves for 205live?

 

Did anyone see the post-match pictures of Christopher Daniels? Holy **** those burn marks on his back

 

Styles v Orton were apparently tearing up house shows during Mania season. Chemistry between those two was amazing.

 

IF Styles drop the title before Mania then, IMHO, he is winning the Rumble.

 

Oh, haven't you heard? Vince has lost faith in Balor. He was scheduled to face Brock at the Rumble, but Vince decided he "wasn't over enough" and scrapped it.

 

Have we had Styles vs Ziggler yet?

 

Doubt we ever get that.

 

We had it on Smackdown once and it was a glorious 15 minutes.

Sadly, not at a PPV. Which is a crime against professional wrestling.

 

Yeah I just watched a stuttering rip of a bad stream of a bad rip version on youtube that had most of it. It was ...imbalanced and illogical. I'd blame that on the agents or whoever because those two should just be able to turn up and go. Didn't realise Zig was a proper feet on the ropes heel now!

 

wwe have confirmed there doing 14 ppv's

5 raw
4 smackdown
5 dual branded shows

money in the bank is now apart of a big 5

 

Wonder if this means there'll be mixed brand MITBs next year.(One for the men, one for the women - without Ellsworth interference).

BTW, Miz is off the London to shoot The Marine 6 with HBK and Becky Lynch shortly (which may explain why he was laid out by the Shield after the IC match Monday).

Kamala is now breathing on his own (which is great news)

 

It would be more exciting, if the briefcase holder can go after either title - it leaves the audience in suspension.

 

Vince apparently sees Balor as similar to Ziggler - can work a decent match, but not worthy of main event material.

WON have discussed Styles still plans to retire at 42 (has 14 months left on his WWE deal), but the WWE wanted to offer him a part time deal (supposedly the 'Shawn Michaels deal' - i.e only work TV and PPVs); shows how highly Vince thinks of him.

 

WON: Rumble winner will be a SmackDown guy.

So, either Nakamura or Cena? (depending on his NJPW match, Jericho is a possible wild card); I'm going to guess we can rule on Styles, but one assumes he'll be going into Mania as WWE Champion. But, yes, I think it is really between Cena and Nakamura. If our good friend Jonathon wins, he'll have the most Rumble victories in history - I believe.

 

Styles drops it back to Jinder + Cena winning the Rumble = Cena being a 17 time World Champion.

 

Cena wins the royal Rumble and faces AJ at Mania.
