Before RAW in /wooo/alt The Bump airs at 6:30pm//11:30pm. After RAW it's RAW talk at 11pm//3am. On tonight's show:>R-Truth vs Randy OrtonRandy Orton has been at his vicious best ever since Edge returned, and he's continued to take it to a new level after defeating him at Backlash 2020. Last week, there was a small but interesting backstage segment where Akira Tozawa was searching for R-Truth. Despite Randy Orton seemingly disliking everyone except Ric Flair, he chose to help R-Truth by lying to Tozawa about the direction in which he went. It's hard to blame him since R-Truth is one of the most likable Superstars on the roster, both on RAW and SmackDown. This week, 24/7 Champion R-Truth will face Randy Orton in a non-title match. Since the title doesn't seem to interest Orton much, it's not surprising to see that it won't be defended. If we do get a straightforward match, it's quite obvious that Randy Orton is winning. However, it'll be interesting to see if Akira Tozawa and his ninjas decide to make an appearance at that time. This should be one of the more fun segments of the night on RAW.>The Tag Team titles are on the lineIn what we expect to be the main event of the night on RAW, The Kabuki Warriors will be looking to reclaim the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships as they face The Boss N' Hug Connection Sasha Banks and Bayley. Last week, RAW Women's Champion Asuka faced SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley in a Champion vs Champion match and as with their encounters in 2016, Asuka once again managed to topple over Bayley. Ahead of her clash against Sasha Banks at Extreme Rules, Asuka will look to make it 2/2 in two weeks while also capturing the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships. So far, Sasha Banks and Bayley have been only the second team to reclaim the titles and they have a high chance of retaining the titles. Given the rumors of Kairi Sane's supposed retirement/WWE exit coming near, we could see a scenario where this match will be her swansong. It could mean her retirement after The Kabuki Warriors likely lose the match.>Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins face off in a WrestleMania 36 rematch on RAWOne of the marquee matches on this stacked edition of Monday Night RAW will see Kevin Owens face Seth Rollins in a WrestleMania 36 rematch. When they last shared the ring at WrestleMania, it was a grudge rivalry that was built over four months involving multiple other Superstars such as The AoP, Murphy, Samoa Joe, and even The Viking Raiders. Ultimately, it all started and began with these two men and they battled it out in an incredible match where Kevin Owens won. He hosted Seth Rollins recently, but he hasn't been in a rivalry with him. It's Rey Mysterio who declared that he'll face Seth Rollins in an "eye for an eye" match at The Horror Show at Extreme Rules this Sunday. Before a grueling war against the WWE legend, Seth Rollins will face Kevin Owens in a rematch from WrestleMania 36. Will he manage to get one over his old rival? Or will Murphy and possibly Austin Theory show up to play the spoils? Either way, we anticipate that there's going to be a lot more than one person involved in the mix on RAW.>Will Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre have a final standoff?Dolph Ziggler has been playing mind games with Drew McIntyre. Last week, he brought back the recently-released Heath Slater to WWE for a one-off appearance. Slater, who was a former 3MB member alongside Drew McIntyre, was defeated in seconds, proving the true difference in motivation and talent between the two. Regardless, McIntyre didn't seem to hold much against his former teammate and his focus was on Dolph Ziggler instead. We had a wholesome moment where McIntyre and Slater relived a 3MB moment, even if it was just for a few seconds. This week, Dolph Ziggler will be out to try and play more mind games with the WWE Champion Drew McIntyre. It's not unfair to assume that McIntyre is the overwhelming favorite for their Extreme Rules match. Many have gone out of their way to rule out Dolph Ziggler completely, but we still expect the veteran to give Drew McIntyre a good match. McIntyre's matches on PPV since winning the title have been against Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley - both of whom are con… Comment too long.

Use this thread to post news as it comes through. Do not use the old thread for anything new, please move discussion to here instead.> COVID-19 and its effect on UFC and pro wrestling continued to dominate the news this past week. WWE is recovering from an outbreak that caused changes to the taping schedule, a number of rewrites to television and numerous big names taken off this past two weeks of television. For WWE, skeleton crews led to the lowest rated Smackdown of the FOX era and by far the lowest in 18-49 when it comes to overall realistic rating the show has ever done. Raw over the past two weeks has done two of its four lowest marks overall and in 18-49 in history.> AEW, set a record low, but bounced back due to the heavily hyped Fyter Fest series of shows. Somehow, AEW has avoided, at least based on what has come out, any positive tests but did have a heavily hyped Jon Moxley vs. Brian Cage match moved back due to Moxley’s wife, Renee Young, being part of the WWE outbreak. But even with both companies presenting special shows, each declined in viewers and 18-49 this week when NXT in particular with the Keith Lee vs. Adam Cole double title match, should have hit a high point, and AEW with a loaded show, and a Chris Jericho vs. Orange Cassidy match built for weeks, should have been up as well.> WWE has not said anything, either in memos to talent, or the media, about its outbreak. Based on different reports, anywhere from 30 or more individuals with the company have tested positive, although the only names released officially are Young, who did so on her own, Kayla Braxton, and producers James Gibson (Jamie Noble) and Adam Pearce. The list of talent that hasn’t been at the Performance Center since the outbreak includes Dana Brooke, Carmella, Naomi, The Street Profits, Velveteen Dream, Austin Theory, Daniel Bryan, Finn Balor, Liv Morgan, Mandy Rose, Natalya, Nia Jax, Otis, Tucker, Mojo Rawley, Shorty G, Raquel Gonzalez, Sheamus and Sonya Deville. Of those, Bryan and Sheamus both appeared on Zoom on Smackdown from home so it was clear they were scripted originally for the show and didn’t come. That could be by choice, given Bryan’s wife is pregnant and he’s had issues with his immune system, or other reasons. Dream and Theory were both named in recent allegations. > WWE officially has said there is no change in Dream’s status, and he was in an auto accident but had been not been on the show while he was in the middle of a program with the Undisputed Era, and his name was never mentioned in commentary during a Dexter Lumis match where he was part of the storyline. WWE hasn’t responded to any questions on Theory, whose name has also not been mentioned on commentary or his absence when Seth Rollins and Murphy been on TV been acknowledged. > Natalya is known to have not tested positive but was pulled for precautionary reasons. Brooke, Carmella and Naomi hadn’t been booked on television prior, so they all just simply may not have been used. Jax also doesn’t appear to have a program going right now, although was the one to “injure” Charlotte Flair so disappearing from television right after wouldn’t seem to make sense either.> Ric Flair spoke to Wrestlinginc.com and explained his decision to continue working the tapings after the outbreak. “The WWE is doing everything and following every guideline possible,” Flair said. “The testing and all that was conducted as professionally as it could possibly be. Three doctors. Organized. Yes, people had to stand in line, but that was because of so many people being tested. But nobody was together. Everybody had a mask on. “I would scrutinize anybody that said otherwise at the highest level. I was tired of hearing the bullshit. (Mark) Carrano, Ace (John Laurinaitis), Vince himself, I could go down the list of people that are making sure that everybody’s life is at the best possible place while they’re there for the event.”> Regarding the outbreak itself, noting he worked shows that several others backed off from working who were decades younger than him, and without his health history which includes blood clots in his legs and well as heart issues … Comment too long.

Will Extreme Rules be the jump the shark moment for cinematic wrestling? View Thread Reply Hide Tony Chimel - Sun, 12 Jul 2020 22:28:37 EST NnKx8iFo No.6418753 File: 1594607317655.jpg -(55165B / 53.87KB, 600x375) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. I feel like Extreme Rules is gonna jump the shark big time on the whole cinematic wrestling thing. WWE has this tendency where if somethings successful they just keep doing it until its ran into a ground constantly trying to repeat that success. The cinematic matches at Mania were pretty good and everyone was talking about the boneyard match and I feel the ones after Mania just haven't even lived up to that one in fact they've been massive downfalls in quality. Money in the Bank was just silly and lazy and the NXT Takeover one wasn't good. I feel Extreme Rules is just gonna be the one that sends it over the edge into shittiness. 25 posts and 1 images omitted.

Modern pro wrestling has always tried to get "out of the ring", so to speak, with specialized matches in different locations—for better or for worse.

Doing it once or twice in a given timespan (e.g., six months) keeps it from feeling overused and oversaturated. The fact that we're now getting at least one "cinematic" match per every six to eight weeks, regardless of the quality, is what's killing the approach.The Boneyard Match was lightning in a bottle: The right personalities at the right times doing all the right things in the right setting.

BTW, there's no way someone is kayfabe losing an eye They ALWAYS walk back the crazy injuries - whether it's falling off something or getting set on fire. They have the commentators sell it big in the moment and then on the next episode, they refer to the injuries as more minor. I'm predicting Seth wins due to the some kind of ref stoppage thing OR Dominick throws in the towel for him. Seth will attack the eye but it will stop short just before an eyeball is plucked from the skull.
