They had a commercial for their next appearance in Houston. They'll be back for both Raw and Smackdown in November. Funny thing is, that's the day after Survivor Series, which is also in Houston.

That's not normal, right? Aside from NY for Summerslam, I don't recall them usually being in the same building three nights in a row.

Yeah, I think it's becoming the new normal for the big 4 PPVs.

Takeover/PPV/Raw/SD all in same city.

Nope. Rumble in San Antonio, RAW Austin, SmackDown Corpus.

I figure Thanksgiving has something to do with it also. That's the week of Thanksgiving, so I guess they are minimizing travel for their talent.

Summerslam main event is rumored to be Brock/Joe/Roman/Braun in a 4 way. I can dig it.

I hate multi-person title matches. With a burning passion.

If Brock wins, nothing has advanced story wise, and they just used the second-biggest event of the year to tread water.

If someone else wins, Brock didn't lose in a one-on-one match, so the winner doesn't get all of the heat they otherwise would have.

Maybe it was Survivor Series '16 then. I really feel like they did it outside of Mania and Summer Slam

If it's an elimination match instead of a first fall takes it, I agree

A 4way with 4 guys that can't sustain a 15m match? Meh

Brock with the title is the problem in the first place since he's so protected and hardly ever there. I've kind of given up hope he will ever have a decent singles match again that isn't him going through the motions.

The 3 way with Cena and Rollins is the best match he's had since he came back. If you're going to have him hold the title for another year like everyone is reporting then I'd prefer he didn't run through full timers one on one clean. Also 15 mins is pretty standard for a WWE PPV match these days.

Even if u feel that's his best match, it's impossible to say he hasn't had other great ones (vs. Punk, vs. Cena @ ER 2012, some say vs. Cena at SS 14, vs. Roman @ 31, vs. Goldberg @ 33).

No I agree they're great matches, I just think the 3 way is his best and that his recent singles work has been mediocre. I loved the Goldberg match because I despise Goldberg, if it was against anyone else then it would just be a standard squash. I also enjoyed the Joe match but I feel he was mostly carried for that. To me it feels like Lesnar is still capable of having a good match but just has no interest in putting the effort in. The whole Suplex City thing is partly to blame in my opinion.

Completely agree. Makes me sad tbh. One of the GOAT workers ever. That match vs Punk is one of my most watched and I'm not a huge fan of Punk. I wasn't going to watch the Joe match but I will now

It's still so weird to me how they make Brock unstoppable, won't let him lose anyone on the normal roster, then have him get smoked by Goldberg, then go back to being unstoppable.

The idea that Roman Reigns hasn't had super-high quality 20+ minute matches is absolutely absurd.

He wasn't really "unstoppable" against Joe. It was booked as a lucky win.

Meltzer reports that Enzo and Cass have heat backstage

Quote:

While this was probably not the reason for the split, since the split was teased months ago, Enzo Amore right now has a lot of heat on him. There was an incident on the tour bus when the talent was traveling together several weeks ago. We haven’t been able to confirm the details as to why this happened although it had to do with the business and it upset many to the point that Reigns kicked Enzo off the bus and for a time he was given “Miz treatment” in that he wasn’t allowed to dress in the locker room. The line where he talked about his real life being better than his fantasy life was something of a shoot in the sense he’s now based in Los Angeles and having a great time in his non-wrestling life. He was also legit not happy at the breakup of the team, because in reality, it’s hard to see what his prospects are on his own given the way he’s been portrayed as a guy who is a joke when facing real competition

Cass has some heat, particularly with his views on politics as he’s a strong Trump supporter in a locker room where many don’t share those views, but management is super high on him and unlike with Enzo, the reaction of the wrestlers to him will not affect his push, at least right now. But the reaction to him is pale compared to that of Enzo

I had always figured that a lot of the WWE wrestlers were Republicans.

Maybe Enzo can get traded to Smackdown where he can be the next WWE champion.

Man if you look at the comments on sites reporting about Cass you realize that a lot of wrestling fans are pieces of ****.

edit: Also it's interesting that Roman seems to have actually taken Taker's spot in the locker room as well. The Raw roster is so young outside of Hardys and jobbers.

Would be very surprised if Cass actually had backstage heat or rubbed people the wrong way

He was my best friends roommate not too long ago, he's legit one of the coolest most laid back guys.
