Royal Rumble 2017

Which Wwe Superstars Will Win

... Bayley. WWE Raw Women’s Championship. Who should win: Charlotte. Flair, or Miss Never Loses at Pay-per-views, is undefeated at pay-per-views and she shouldn’t lose until at least Wrestle Mania. Bayley will get her time, just not today. Who will win: Charlotte. AJ Styles (c) vs. John Cena. WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Who should win: Cena. Styles has been a phenomenal champion since defeating Dean Ambrose at “Backlash” last September, but there’s something about Cena’s new persona since his return that’s intriguing. He’s cocky, he’s confident, his “I’m John Cena and you’re not” attitude is refreshing. And it would be entertaining to see him win his 16 th world title — tying Ric Flair’s mark — before he steps away from the wrestling world. Who will win: Cena. Kevin Owens (c) vs. Roman Reigns. WWE Universal Championship. Who should win: Owens. Everything about this points to a Roman Reigns victory. He lost his U. S. title to Chris Jericho, opening ...

In The Court Of The Cruiserweight King

... THREE disintegrated, both Neville and Swann joined WORLD-1 International, where they became a fairly regular tag team right up until Neville left for WWE. So they do, indeed, go way back. Behold, the King. But alas, their eventual reunion in WWE was not a happy one. After missing a good chunk of the year with an ankle injury and making a tepid return to TV, Neville disappeared again. When he came back in December, it was with a totally fresh attitude. Gone was the flippy lad who flipped for your approval, and in his place was a bitter brawler of a man who flipped solely because he was good at hurting his opponents with flips. Incensed that WWE would have the temerity to start a cruiserweight division without him and feeling betrayed by fans that only seemed to care when he was doing those aforementioned flips, he immediately targeted Rich Swann in order to take the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Declaring himself the King of the Cruiserweights, Neville has carved himself a path of destruction, taking ...

Wwe Royal Rumble Results And Reaction

... cut due to a request by Michael Buffer's legal team]. It's Royal Rumble time! New champs will be crowned and contenders will be named as we start the Road to Wrestle Mania 33 in Orlando. AJ Styles is taking on John Cena, Kevin Owens will clash with Roman Reigns (while Chris Jericho dangles from above), Charlotte will try to fend off Bayley, and the likes of Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, and The Undertaker will add to the beef of the Rumble itself. Plus, there are three big Kickoff matches that at this point aren't really Kickoff matches because the show is just nine hours long now. I'll be reporting in here on the Live Blog all night with match results and reactions while also live-tweeting over here on ze Twitter. Join me for all the Rumbling. Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella & Naomi vs. Alexa Bliss, Mickie James and Natalya. This six-woman match more or less came across as expected. People were still filing in as the Smack Down Live's women's division let loose. The question would be: Which feud ...

How Many Refs Does It Take To Call A Pre-show Tag Title Match

... the rules. So we could be asking why the powers-that-be are just now getting around to taking measures to ensure a fair & decisive result in a tag title bout. But this is pro wrestling, so that would be kind of futile. Instead, let’s just focus on how we got here. General Manager Mick Foley decided to settle a best-of-seven series between the Celtic Warrior and the Swiss Superman by making them partner up (seriously). After some rough patches, a shared love of beating people up got Cesaro & Sheamus on the same page, and the finally dethroned New Day. Anderson & Gallows arrived in WWE from New Japan last Spring and immediately shot to the top of the tag ranks. Unfortunately, whether they were making jokes or inflicting pain, with AJ Styles as The Club or just two good brothers being mean & making green, that’s as far as they’ve gotten. They thought they got over the hump a couple weeks back on Raw, but while Gallows & Anderson celebrated after referee Darrick Moore raised their hands for pinning Cesaro following their Magic Killer finish, the match’s original official, John Cone, came to from the Brogue Kick with which Sheamus hit him. Cone waived off Moore’s decision ...

Revenge Is A B

... title by providing a distraction during the Hugster’s #1 contender match against Nia, and this past Monday showed up to let Jax know she’s not broken - and she definitely isn’t scared. What's at stake. If rumors are to be believed, both of these ladies might be in a title match at Wrestle Mania 33, which makes it seem like a win or loss here doesn’t matter much. And maybe that’s true. But Mania cards have been known to shift around in the months leading up to the Show of Shows, and whoever gets their hand raised here obviously would be better positioned for a step up the ladder. Both women would like to make an impression regardless. Nia’s been waiting for a shot, and even on the pre-show of a PPV, can let people know she belongs by putting together a solid showing to prove she can hang in more than just a squash match. For Sasha, she can show the fans and the brass how she bounces back from a loss - in real life just like in kayfabe. We’ll find out what ...

Winner And Reaction For Wwe Royal Rumble 2017

... match between Jax and Bayley. The playing of Banks' music distracted Jax enough to cause her to lose the match, which added more intensity to their feud. Jax got some revenge on the former champ by jumping her during a conditioning drill. Banks was testing her injured knee in an attempt to get cleared for in-ring action, but Jax did everything in her power to prevent that from happening. Even so, Banks came back for more the following week, hitting Jax multiple times with her crutch and laying her out with a suicide dive. That only served to anger Jax. Nia Jax @Nia Jax WWE. A crutch?! Honestly.who throws a crutch? You are definitely a B.but Boss isn't the word I'm thinking of 🤗 #Royal Rumble __link__/1 c Qb 2 l IW 82. Despite the massive challenge standing in front of her, Banks remained defiant and confident that she would conquer her opponent at the Rumble. Im a Seahorse @Sasha Banks WWE. Revenge is a B. and I put the B in Boss! See you at the #Royal Rumble @Nia Jax WWE. 1/24/2017, 4:26:42 AM. Although Banks had many battles with Charlotte in a back-and-forth program, Jax arguably stood as her biggest challenge to date. While Banks is a ...

An Early Elimination Chamber Preview

... ignore all its predecessors—including herself. James specifically criticized The Lasskicker as being part of the "history making" narrative of the Four Horsewomen. Becky, however, just wants some revenge. But has the former Smack Down women’s champion learned her lesson of always being "one step ahead," as James noted Tuesday. It will be wonderful to once again see the conniving Mickie James work inside a (main roster) WWE ring. The promo she cut last Tuesday shows that she’s not lost a single character beat—and her work at NXT Take Over: Toronto proved she can definitely still go in the squared circle. Lastly, in probably the most heated feud in WWE today, Nikki Bella and Natalya will attempt to confine themselves to the ring and its immediate surroundings, rather than brawling backstage, at merchandise stands, in parking lots, or really anywhere else they feel like. There seems quite a fair chance the pair abandon their respective teammates at some point and take their fight elsewhere. What’s at stake. Technically, nothing, which will lead to gripes this is a mere throwaway match. But there are plenty of story directions to take this ...

Neville Wins Cruiserweight Title From Rich Swann

... at this show. After making his presence felt in the division in recent months, Neville made good on his claim to rule the cruiserweights. After some short lockup sequences, Swann got an early advantage with a pair of dropkicks and a monstrous dive over the top ropes. They got back in the ring and Neville started taking over with stomps in the corner, hitting a huge dropkick off the top rope for a two-count. Neville proceeded to dominate the middle part of the match, keeping Swann grounded to the mat with kicks, strikes, and various holds. Swann nearly recovered, but Neville threw him into the barricade several times to stop his momentum. In one of the biggest moments of the match, Neville went up top for a dive, but Swann nailed him in the face with a heel kick. He then hit a hurricanrana and a spectacular Phoenix Splash off the top, sending both men crashing to the floor. Back in the ring, Swann hit a roundhouse kick and a vicious clothesline, both of which got two-counts. Neville finally recovered enough to crotch Swann on the top rope. He then went to set up his ...
