    I'd still be thinking it's Nattie if they didn't show the credit right after I posted

    Truth not knowing the name of the belt he keeps winning may be one of my favorite parts of this gimmick

    Corbin winning a title without even being involved in the decision would be peak Corbin.

    Its not going to happen. Its probably going to be a "chairs" match with that crazy stip to sell people on the possibility. Seth is going to carry the belt into Summer Slam as will Becky.

    I think the interesting thing for me is who will Becky face at Summer Slam. Do we get a returning Sasha or Trish?

    I think you could see them go a few direction with Becky...

    1) Mixed Tag - Seth/Becky vs Edge/Beth
    2) Becky vs Trish
    3) Becky vs Sasha


    They have been really setting up that mix tag interaction on twitter. Seems like Canada would be a good place for it.. Either way I think you will see Trish return for something at Summer Slam. Maybe they give Alexa her dream match with Trish she missed out on at Evolution

    yes, they have a number 1 contenders match on the japan show for the tag titles. Probably going to lead them into a program with the IIconics

    A one off where he isn't taking crazy bumps is doable.

    So title holders dont get automatic rematches anymore but Baron and Lacey can lose multiple title matches and be booked to get another one in a tag match?

    How about let's not let Edge wrestle again because I don't want to see him get paralyzed in the ring

    The smallest shit could do him in ala Paige

    Please Sasha Banks, COME BACK! A heel Sasha would be the only person I’d be comfortable taking the belt off Becky right now. Think of the Summerslam build

    They are clearly just mailing it in till new TV deals. Only problem is they will have no idea what to do come October, so lots and lots of Brock.

    Baszler is 39. It's time to go ahead and call her up and give her the proper bad ass heel run that Rousey should have had. I mean don't get me wrong Rousey was good but she should have never been a smiling babyface

    Reading this thread sometimes, I realize I don't care nearly as much about female wrestling as some of you. I don't get it, but there's a couple posters that just post women things. That's cool if you enjoy it I guess.

    Just an old fashion sexist fuck I guess.

    I watched the mini doc about this match last night. I thought it was interesting that Vince was so emotional and had to leave gorilla. Its not often you hear stories about him on that level.

    I'm going to tune in to Raw tonight. First time in months, and I missed the ppv last night. Hoping for some summerslam set ups, I guess.

    Extreme Rules is in 3 weeks.... I would imagine more re-matches with gimmicks attached and fresh storylines after to lead into Summer Slam.

    Silly me thinking they could build a story for 2 months.

    Really leaning into this Becky/Seth stuff huh? I guess it's the intergender matches as has been said in here.

    I wish they would eliminate a few PPVs and rebrand a few.

    Bring back the King of the Ring.

    Bring back Evolution

    Remove... Fastlane, stomping ground, TLC and Extreme Rules.

    Change Super Showdown to a house show and stop promoting it on TV.

    That would leave us with....

    Royal Rumble
    Elimination Chamber
    Wrestlemania
    Money In The Bank
    King of The Ring
    Evolution
    Summer Slam
    Survivor Series

    Would be nice to have actual set designs too. I'd even say add a couple ppvs to that list but have them be rotating "in your house" shows where they could do an extreme rules or hell in a cell or battleground but only every couple years.

    That was the best one I've seen in a while, but only because Shane has hops.
