No clue what's gonna happen. Bloodline definitely pulled a Thanos on us with the belts, but we won't know what happens until either the Usos or Reigns lose their belts.

Between those two, the Usos will definitely drop first. Only way Reigns loses is if they really have McIntyre win MITB and cash in at Summerslam so he can walk into the UK ppv as champ.

And that's still very unlikely, considering Reigns hasn't been pinned in 2.5 years

Updated MITB card

Men's MITB: McIntyre vs Sheamus vs Rollins vs Omos vs 4 more
Women's MITB: Lacey vs Asuka vs Raquel vs Alexa vs Liv vs 3 more
Theory vs Lashley for the US title
Belair vs Carmella for the Raw Women's title
Rousey vs Natalya for the SD Women's title
Usos vs Street Profits for the tag titles

Goldberg's final match on his latest contract was Reigns, but I'm certain WWE won't hesitate to sign him another one by Summerslam.

On another note, rough weekend for referees. Dave Hebner passed away Friday, Tim White passed away tonight.

SummerSlam main events since Brock returned in 2012

Brock vs HHH
Orton vs Bryan
Brock vs Cena
Brock vs Taker
Brock vs Orton
Brock vs Reigns vs Strowman vs Joe
Brock vs Reigns
Brock vs Rollins
Wyatt vs Strowman
Reigns vs Cena (Brock appears after the match)
Brock vs Reigns coming up

Apparently Summerslam was supposed to be Reigns vs Orton, but Orton's injury changed plans.

No Orton
No Cody
No Edge (probably)
No desire to put Styles, Lashley, or Riddle in the main event

Yes

I gotta go with Miro's design.

In other parts, noticed Crews went back to NXT, ending a forgettable 6 year run on the main roster

Imagine if the HHH/Steiner posedown main evented an episode of Raw

Today's product is hilariously misplaced

Imagine going 0-3 against someone when the 3rd match was against the guy with one arm in a Cell.

On a positive note, that was Cody's first ppv main event win in WWE (possibly ever)

Yes

Updated card:

Cody Rhodes vs Seth Rollins, in a Hell in a Cell match
Belair vs Becky vs Asuka for the Raw Women's Championship
Lashley vs Omos and MVP
Kevin Owens vs Ezekiel
Corbin vs Moss
Theory vs Ali for the US title
Styles, Balor, and Morgan vs Judgment Day

Fastbreak posted...

Dominik is a Man now its only fitting

Well if he had beaten Rollins in 2020, it would've ended there. Went 0-3 against Seth, then Seth got pinned against Orton anyway, passing the rights on to him.

Just now I was wondering what ever became of the custody rights of Dominik Mysterio. I had to look up results from 2020, because at one point Seth Rollins had the "rights" and risked the possibility of losing rights to Dominik himself and ending the whole thing after 15 years.

Upon looking up results, I discovered the following...
1) Rollins was pinned by Randy Orton on Raw in late August 2020
2) Orton and Drew McIntyre played hot potato with the custody rights between September and November 2020, trading pinfalls all the way up to a week before Survivor Series
3) Drew McIntyre was pinned at Survivor Series 2020 by the current holder of said custody rights to Dominik Mysterio, Roman Reigns

Looks like we're in for the long haul on both The Man AND the custody rights to Dominik.

The real loser is WWE as they gotta act like they can pull off a Women's tag team tournament with only 3 legit tag teams

Also forgot: Wardlow > MJF

Yes

Confirmed for Hell in a Cell with only one week left...

Cody Rhodes vs Seth Rollins, in a Hell in a Cell match
Belair vs Becky vs Asuka for the Raw Women's Championship
Lashley vs Omos and MVP
Kevin Owens vs Ezekiel

I think the following gets added this upcoming week

Usos vs Riddle and Nakamura for the tag titles
McIntyre probably gets a match of some sorts to prepare for Reigns this summer
Maybe the women's tag tournament gets underway; hell, with the severe lack of tag teams, maybe it starts on Raw and ends at HIAC!

New franchises introduced in the 2010s based on GotD entrants and have at least one sequel

Life is Strange
Bravely Default
Ni No Kuni (well aware the 2011 game wasn't the first, but it's the enhanced version of the 2010 game which is same decade)
Bloodstained
Horizon
Danganronpa
Undertale (if Deltarune counts)
Xenoblade Chronicles
Splatoon
Ori
Destiny
Dishonored
Nioh
The Last of Us
Super Meat Boy
Dying Light
Hotline Miami
Subnautica
Possibly Crypt of the Necrodancer

Out of these, the winner is easily Xenoblade, then Ori

I mean I assume Ricochet gets killed by the GUNTHER on SmackDown so the IC champ will still not be defended on ppv

Fixed

For reals though, a tag tournament for the vacant Women's tag titles. Here's what we know from the rosters...

Raw
Nikki A.S.H. and Doudrop
Carmella and Queen Zelina

Alexa Bliss
Asuka
Becky Lynch
Bianca Belair
Dana Brooke
Lacey Evans
Liv Morgan
Rhea Ripley
Sonya Deville
Tamina

SmackDown
Natalya and Baszler

Aliyah
Charlotte Flair
Raquel Rodriguez
Ronda Rousey
Shotzi
Xia Li

They literally only have 3 established teams. They could put Dana and Tamina together for the sake of that bad 24/7 storyline. Liv and Rhea are too busy being in the middle of a stable war. Asuka has her sights on Belair's title, and Becky's trying to stay in the thick of things too. Lacey didn't spend all that time on maternity leave just to be thrown in the tag division (especially when she was reportedly supposed to have a singles title run before said pregnancy). That just leaves Sonya, who's spent the last 2 weeks jobbing to Alexa.

On SmackDown, Rousey probably isn't wasting time in the tag division, and Charlotte might be taking time off for a bit. That leaves the other 4 to create at least one team.

This tournament is probably 4 tag teams and will only need 3 matches to complete

Country all the way up to the mid 90s is fine; nearly everything afterwards is unbearable so I voted this.

Rap has been more consistently liked throughout the decades.

Also, to show how far these belts have fallen...

The US title hasn't been defended on pay per view since Extreme Rules in September 2021

The Intercontinental title hasn't been defended on ppv since Wrestlemania 37 in April 2021 (WM38 was the first Mania to not feature an IC title match since WM30)

What are the odds a team wins the Women's Tag Tournament and then Sasha and Naomi spontaneously appear with the belts?

1) Papercut

It's rare that the opening song on a band's debut album would be the best thing they've done, but Linkin Park pulls that off with Papercut. It not only sets the stage for a solid album, but also sets the stage for a run that's generated 7 albums across two decades.

2) Pushing Me Away
3) Points of Authority
4) In the End
5) A Place for My Head
6) With You
7) Crawling
8) One Step Closer
9) By Myself
10) Runaway
11) Forgotten
12) Cure for the Itch

There is also the absolutely asinine commercial break in the middle of the Temple Run that slams any momentum into a wall of concrete.

This 100%

Canes in 6
Bolts in 7
Avalanche in 5
Flames in 6

Luka Doncic: 27
The Phoenix Suns: 27

This isn't gonna end well

I remember my first appearance in a top 50, back in 2006.

You'd think it was something like Ganon vs Vincent that got me on the list, but you'd be wrong: one person in the top 50 had Prince of Persia > Kirby, and I got to be #50 for a day until Zero lost to Luigi.

Hope you're well dude; sounds like you are

Yes

Two more main event wins on ppv and Roman Reigns will pass Undertaker for 3rd place on the all time list

I feel like Drake has to be over Taylor Swift just because he's about as big or bigger and is constantly releasing new music

He easily is. Sold nearly 60 million more albums than TS, has more #1 hits, was declared the highest selling digital artist of all time by the RIAA and was declared Artist of the 2010s by Billboard.

(The Reprise isn't bad, and should honestly be a part of Wasted Time)

Hmm... according to the website itself, they aren't, despite supposedly advertising it on SmackDown last night.

Pretty sure the last ppv with less title defenses was December 2 Dismember (Survivor Series excluded)

This is, however, the second ppv in WWE history with no men's title defenses (First being the obvious Evolution)

Best: Ozymandius
Worst: Fly

=/

I tried. Might just let it purge

Anticlimactic ppv card is anticlimactic...

Wrestlemania Backlash 2022
RK-Bro and McIntyre vs The Bloodline
Charlotte vs Ronda in an I Quit match for SD Women's title
Cody vs Rollins
Lashley vs Omos
Edge vs Styles
Corbin vs Moss

My picks...
McIntyre pins Jimmy Uso, gets us one step closer to the tag title match we almost had, plus the inevitable McIntyre job to Reigns at Summerslam
Charlotte wins, Ronda leaves again
Rollins wins, sets up rubber match down the road
Omos wins, see above
Edge wins when Judgment Day gets a new member
Moss wins because... reasons.

Yes

Updates on "The Man" championships...

- At 530 days and counting, Roman Reigns' record-setting run as The Man sees no end in sight. He hasn't been pinned in one-on-one competent since December 2019.

- Two "Man" retirements/departures ended with Edge and Batista returning to action at specific parts of their career. In due time, these reigns eventually merged and led up to Roman's run.

- The third "Man" title lineage that started in 2015 with Rollins, is currently in possession by Samoa Joe, who is now in AEW/ROH. Speaking of AEW...

- Hangman Page is currently AEW's "The Man". This title lineage goes as far back as Ric Flair's final match ever against Sting in September 2011. Kenny Omega brought the title to AEW in 2021.

- The women's edition, started by Becky Lynch in 2018, is currently held by Rhea Ripley. Also curious to see if this ever goes back to a man, considering it'd be as easy as a 24/7 champ getting a hold of this title >_>

Well aware that Discord is the way to go, but for those who don't have Discord, discussion can still happen here!

While it's on my mind, Judgment Day is a pretty bland stable name, but considering it's WWE, I'm not surprised.

Dammit missed Chris Griffin? I wanted him to be ranked even lower.

Anyway, yes to Simba
