Board 8 > All-Purpose Wrestling Topic 424: The Misadventures of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn

(+) Yeah! (+)

Alexa almost hooked the outside leg, hesitated and hooked the inside leg

Cole says "Alexa had to hook the inside leg due to positioning"

Whoops
---

That big boot wasn't even close to looking like it hit.
---

That match was a comedy of botches

Like way sloppier than Corbin/Miz
---

So who is Kevin Owens going to pop up power bomb?

Shane. Cena. Orton. Nakamura. Roode. Maybe Jason Jordan too.
---

Probably cause Charlotte can't work face and Alexa Bliss can't work... well, in general.
---

TAP BlTCH!!!

I think that was probably Alexa's worst match on the main roster (among those that got any time). Charlotte is just proven really bad at carrying I think

Like her match with Naomi was possibly Naomi's worst match too.
---

Man, I like how they did this so there's 0 doubt who will win this on order alone.
---

Guys, it's totally believable that Asuka's 2 year undefeated streak would end at a random ass Survivor Series cause she didn't squash Emma.

I totally believe this is a real thought someone had.

Totally believe it.
---

I'm sure there's a Naomi vs Cameron match somewhere
---

The fact that this is on now means there is a SLIGHT chance Smackdown wins the night.

It's believable because WWE has done worse, not cause of Emma, sorry Lopen

This requires no Zayn/Owens interference.

Just like Braun Strowman's undefeated streak was broken by losing the Royal Rumble, right?

How can you tell?

With the exception of Sasha (who could carry you or I to 2 stars....) they've all been god fucking awful

Is it more or less likelier that Owens/Zayn interferes when they already had an appearance on the preshow?

Yes, they totally touted Strowman's undefeated streak leading into that match.
Even though he had lost.
Several times.
On the main roster.

Pssst: they never touted an undefeated streak for Strowman. That was never a major part of his character the way it is for Asuka.

I'm pretty sure it's only a major part of her character if you watched NXT.

I've heard Cole talk more about how she just loves to have fun more than him talk about her undefeated streak.

They better give this fucking time!!!!

It'd be impressively low on the list, though. Like screwing up Bayley is basically screwing up Bray Wyatt: seemingly can't miss gimmicks from NXT that they end up botching by not quite getting the character on the main roster.

Asuka is pretty straight forward: she never loses. Therefore, she won't lose until they can turn it into an absolutely major story. They managed to go 21 years without Taker losing at WM, they didn't suddenly have his streak end in a handicapped match to A-Train and Big Show.

Did you not hear Stephanie hyping up her undefeated streak? Did you not hear Corey Graves doing the same thing?

Oh no, Cole pointed out a character that actually puts a lot of personality into her performance as someone who "likes to have fun." Wow, that clearly means it's over for Asuka's streak.

He's already got more offense than Cena did...

This is one of the better post-return Brock matches.

There is ZERO chance these aren't your Champs at Mania....

You don't let AJ do this if you don't have real fucking plans....

Yup...

Yeah, they're letting AJ go 40/60 with Brock which is more than I expected.
---

Yeah, he looked better than Samoa Joe, which is pretty good.
---

AJ just got more Shine in this match than every Brock match since HHH vs Brock combined...

God, I'm so happy that they love AJ this much. They let him actually put on a good match with Brock.
---

Phenomenal F5

AJ looks pretty fucked up
---

Did AJ go on record saying Vince wishes he had come to WWE 10 years ago?

Like it's pretty sad knowing AJ's only got 2-3 years left, probably. He's even hinted as much in interviews.
---

Part of me thinks Brock Lesnar said flat out he would not have a match with Jinder that was anything more than a squash and suggested AJ Styles as an alternate match to have outright

Good match. I think AJ should actually win with the calf crusher more often though. Much better finisher than the Phenomenal Forearm.

They've soured on Jinder in general. They cut the India tour from two shows to one.

I know he SAYS that, but if Vince wants him to stay, I guarantee you he will.

Honestly, I think AJ is going to be there for 5 more years and then become a developmental trainer.
---

It's funny we had that argument about Asuka losing a 2 year winning streak from NXT in a multiman match in a bogus fashion as being some sort of criminally egregious sin that could never happen in a year where Jinder was your champion for half a year and then abandoned

Asuka losing by countout probably wouldn't be top 5 of stupid booking decisions this year

well, not much of a tour then, is it? imagine the tour merchandise, like how they have tour dates and cities for band tours on the merchanise

"WWE India!: Featuring shows in:
<the one city>"

That was due to the failure to sell tickets, but I think that's the reason they soured on Jinder. Just flip the sentences there.

Angle minus his pyro just seems wrong.
---

If RAW wanted to win, they should have picked the Demon instead of regular Balor.
---

If it's not the Demon, we know Finn doesn't survive to the end. I'm thinking Strowman is still standing, not sure who else.
---

So let's start the predictions:

Jason Jordan tries to hit HHH and accidentally hits Kurt, eliminating him.
Balor and Joe don't get along, leading to each of their eliminations.
KO and Sami cost Smackdown the match.

Any others?
