Dolph and Summer begun to have a "thing". Then Summer invites Rusev. Presto chango. You've got a new team. I want Dolph & Rusev to be like Perfect Strangers. Dolph is Cousin Larry Rusev is Balki Can't believe we're almost a year removed from Ziggler being the one to end The Authority at Survivor Series & all it amounted to was a 1 month IC title reign. Ugh...

On the latest edition of Talk is Jericho, host Chris Jericho criticized the booking of the Divas Revolution in WWE as he had the following to say:
“You can’t push nine people at once. You can’t. They introduced too many people in too short a timeframe and put them all together and mixed them all together, so now it’s just one big wash.
I think all the divas are talented. I think the four from NXT, even though Bayley is not here yet, are off the charts talented, but I think it’s not working right now in the WWE because it’s too much at once”.

If I were to rank them based on the whole package I'd go Sasha, Bayley, Charlotte, Becky. Only reason I have Becky last is she really doesn't have a character yet, she's just a steam punk chick. Charlotte only gets the bump because she has a built in backstory she can always talk about.
It all started wrong, Stephanie needs to fucking stop getting involved in these things. She's a heel, she's not a tweener, she's heel. Having her introduce 3 new faces is absolutely pointless.
I would've called up Becky first to backup Paige against Nikki & Brie. Then after Becky's character has been established, you call up Charlotte, who has a great story to work off of already. Then in October, just when you think Charlotte will get the Divas title, you have Sasha debut & work off their feud in NXT. Have these women be loosely associated with each other, but not in cliques. Sure Paige, Charlotte & Becky could team against Sasha & The Bellas, but Sasha could grow tired of teaming with them & realize she's not about teaming, she's about herself.
Any type of fantasy booking like that is better than what they are doing. It's just a sad attempt to sell merchandise really. Team BAD shirts, Team Bella shirts, Team PCB shirts, it's dumb.
Meanwhile Bayley's "I'm A Hugger" shirt is apparently the top selling Diva shirt. I love it!

I'm pretty sure you and I both said it was booked to fail the first week. However, WWE can save it in typical WWE mode. Have them all start fighting among their own teams. Because women are women, right Vince? If Becky Lynch doesn't become a giant star, I'm going to be pissed.

Since Nikki Bella is heel (I guess this month they're heels), the best thing to do is not have her break the record. But it's WWE & they're a spiteful company, so having her hold the record they think is better than Punks wife.
The only thing I do like is that they are paying attention to detail by putting the title match early at the PPV, so as to coincide with the countdown clock.

"10 years ago, he gave me the best advice of my career and I know I wouldn't be where I am now if I hadn't listened..." This is pretty awesome.

– Bo Dallas is set to get a new gimmick in the WWE, but exact details are unknown at this point. He hinted at the change on Smackdown, when she showed a more aggressive side against R-Truth and debuted a new finisher. During an interview, he said he thought it was “really funny” and fans are going to see a more “humorous” side of him.
– As previously reported, Lana suffered a broken wrist while training and will be out for a few months. However, it’s possible she was just working a training storyline and wasn’t actually training. A source told Bryan Alvarez that Lana has not been at the WWE Performance Center in “forever” and is rarely at NXT live events. If she and Rusev are still together off-screen, then they live in Nashville, making it harder for her to train in Orlando.

TMZ reports that Alicia Fox and Paige had an altercation with a drunk woman at a restaurant in Baltimore. The two were at Supano’s Prime Steakhouse, Seafood and Pasta when a woman approached them and began to take pictures and videos. Eventually a heated argument happened and drinks started to fly from both sides. Employees eventually stopped the fight and all three were kicked out of Supano’s.

It's so lame that they don't even let Nattie know where she stands in all of this.
In an interview with the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast, Natalya said that she’s not sure why she isn’t a part of the Divas Revolution.
She said: “To be honest, I don’t know why I’m not included in this. I don’t have an answer. I really don’t. And your guess is as good as mine. There was a part of me where I was like, ‘I’m going to have a hard time watching all of the girls compete and not being a part of it’ and I feel like there is so much of me that is wanting to be a part of it. I just have to trust in the powers that be. I have to trust in the universe. And right now is not my time and I’ll just help everybody celebrate their time and be supportive of them because one day it will be my time.“

If she's not going to be used on TV, then have her be down in NXT. Help girls like Dana, Carmella, Alexa, even Eva. Not saying have Nattie job to all of them, but get her involved down there. Doesn't she live in Florida? I don't know, but if she does, that works even better.
Only reason I could see as to why she's still on the road, despite not being on TV, is she's easily the most fan friendly Diva on the roster. House shows, fans love interacting with her, so she's very popular in that regard.
She's the only Diva not doing anything. Emma is in NXT, Summer is with Rusev, Cameron can't wrestle so I don't care, the other girls are all mixed in the Divas Revolution Clusterfuck each week. Meanwhile the best woman wrestler on your roster is on the outside looking in. Doesn't make sense, but then again, with this Divas Revolution, it's par for the course.

She's being repackaged as Fanda Fousey, a plucky MMA fighter.

The big boobed blonde girl who lost Tough Enough is now in the cast for the next season of Total Divas. She replaces Naomi, who again gets the boot from the cast. Apparently her & Uso aren't dramatic enough.
See folks, if you have big knockers & slut shame another girl on live TV, you too can become a Total Diva!

Wha........?
NoDQ.com > WWE > Speculation on Night of Champions Main Event Posted by Steve Carrier on 09/10/2015 at 12:30 PM
There has been some speculation on which Seth Rollins' match at Night of Champions will actually main event the show. While most would figure that the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match against Sting would end the show, that doesn't appear the be the case according to the Wrestling Observer.
They speculate that Rollins' match against John Cena will most likely close the show.
Night of Champions takes place on September 20, 2015, at Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. We will be providing live play-by-play coverage of the event.

I noticed on Raw whenever they talked about the two matches they'd say something along the lines of "he'll defend the WWE World title against Sting AND THEN his night isn't over" and then talk about Cena.
As a fan, I'd much rather Cena/Rollins end, however, World title should ALWAYS end the show. Granted they didn't do it at Summerslam, but this is different. It should be Sting/Rollins.

No question. World Title should always end the show. I'll give them a pass on Taker/Brock, I guess.

Post by randomone on Sept 10, 2015 12:20:00 GMT -6
Yeah that was sort of different, since I suppose you could say Taker/Brock is "bigger than the title".
It should end it even more so now that there is only 1 World title.

Why wouldn't Rollins vs Sting close the show? Fuck Vince.

According to Pwinsider.com, the site has confirmed with a source in WWE creative that the angle where The Wyatt Family attacked Randy Orton on Monday was not to set him up as the partner of Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose at the Night of Champions PPV. Orton is not currently featured in storyline plans for the next several weeks. It had been previously reported that that Orton was looking to work a lighter schedule.

In the process of updating the Fantasy thread and a couple things really struck me. If Orton is taking time off, then why oh why has he been almost unbeatable the past couple of months?
Additionally, even with the arrival of Braun Strowman or whatever his name is, do Reigns and Ambrose EVER lose? Even when they get the shit kicked out of them they win one way or another.

It's Miz, he'll be interviewing himself.

Miz should be interviewing Maryse.
