Just realized how odd No Reason #1 is - a triple threat with three heels.

So Rhea picks two girls she went to war with last night to be on her team. Although, I guess considering what happened, there may have not been any other choices.

NXT team... KO/Balor/Riddle/Keith Lee/Ciampa?

Apparently Brock vs. Rey is No Holds Barred.

The NXT team will be announced during the preshow because why not.

I think Ciampa will be on it but he shouldn't after that ending last night. Gotta think Lee, Riddle, KO will be on it. Curious who replaces KO as well.

This show does look like it should have some fun to it. Brock/Rey, Cole/Dunne, AJ/Shinsuke/Roddy. Men's elimination match is usually fun but with three teams it's going to take forever and ever.

Any chance of a CM Punk return tonight?

Non-zero chance of a Punk return whenever, but it seems way more likely to occur at the Royal Rumble to set up a WM program.

So WWE does any number of things that I don't like but that I understand the appeal of for others...the annual "brand supremacy" thing is not one of those things. I understand the appeal for writers and bookers to just be able to slap together a so-called major while on auto-pilot, but are any fans out there really rabidly on Team Raw or Team Smackdown? I'm supposing that the dipshits who show up to NXT and chant "NXT" might be into that, so that's one thing. It still just seems overall like a story they trot out without regard to the fact that nobody could possibly care.

(That said, I'll be in.)

If they didn't have guys flip flopping between brand every year it might make some sense and especially this year when they've had two drafts with the first one not even really counting, meaning a lot of these guys have been with their "brands" for about two months.

NXT being it's own thing and having a chip on it's shoulder is really the only thing that makes some sense and I would have liked to have seen it somehow NXT vs the main roster in some form, though no idea how they pull that off.

I'm probably of the minority that have liked the recent shows with all the brawling a bit more recently. Not because it's been great or anything, but better than the snore-fest we usually get on Raw and SD most of the year.

NXT added a lot of life to this show. I'm intrigued by all the matches just for the vast amount of talent that will be on display and interacting, even if the storyline premise pretty much sucks.

Becky/Shayna/Bayley should be great and is more about wanting to be the best than brands. Rey/Lesnar has the best build of any title match this year probably and has a lot of story potential in the ring. I'm a bit worried about the tag matches being absolute clusters with 14 people getting eliminated in a short amount of time, unless this show is going 12 hours.

Yeah, no problem with the Rey/Brock build, but it's going to be hard to accept any offense from Rey here even with weapons. Brock can just bring a bat and knock him out of the park.

I'll be in.

I can't see any way the Rey / Brock match isn't awful. But I don't like Rey at all, so I'm firmly biased against it already.

Sam Roberts playing heel on these pre-show panels is insufferable.

Priest, Riddle, Lee, Ciampa and Walter...who I didn't even know was eligible. Apparently KO still on team Raw somehow.

Got this on while I do some work. Hawkins and Ryder just came out and Coach said "here's a team who are always grateful they're still here".

Great way to sell a team.

Street Profits are the Android version of Private Party.

I was considering watching this, silly idea. Will flick through tomorrow. Hoping it's good but I can't see it.

In for a bit anyway just cause curiosity of CM PUNK possibility otherwise I don't think I care about anything on the card.

I think there is zero chance of this so you should probably not watch.

Ya I know but it is WWE. Maybe the Db fiend match might be o.k.

All the teams getting generic brand theme music tonight somehow makes this all worse, especially since each tag team on the pre-show got individual entrances for the battle royal. But I also get why they don't want to spend 15 minutes on entrances for each match. They should at least use the captain's entrance.

The third person in the ring seems so awkward.

Am I the only one cringing every time these women do the classic everyone gets a spot spots? All of these moves are are looking so sloppy and dangerous.

I hate this match.

Out streams are not working and can't find any.

Edit:

Might have found a working one.

Yeah not enjoying this match but I don't think I'll enjoy any of these brand matches because winning doesn't mean anything. Why are they even keeping score throughout the nigh? The winner gains nothing.

Carmella screeching when someone kicks out of her pin is about the most annoying thing around.
