So, this means all the champs retain at Hell in a Cell? Also, it begs the question, why have cage matches when you just finish doing a Hell in a Cell? I'm pretty sure this will be a "Network Special" like they've done in the past with some house shows, so it's fine I guess. I could see Charlotte winning the title at this show and have Ric show up to really pop the crowd.
Why waste the Starrcade name on a house show though? This seems more like a Mayhem, Sin or Greed level of event.
Here's hoping we eventually get a Lethal Lottery, as I always thought those shows were entertaining, despite 90% of the matches being shit.

“So Cody, UR right we should have Goldy on the show, by the way, what R U doing that night??? Wanna team with UR Brother?”
Hayes wrote that back to Cody. While it'd be cool to see him back, it's legit not worth it. What are they going to do, wrestle The Ascension? Cody probably wouldn't want to work for the WWE stooges anyway! The same stooges who brought Adam Cole back from the dead & presumably kidnapped Hangman Page #WheresHangman

So on the WWE Auction site, you can buy a personalized 8x10 and have the wrestler write whatever you want on the pic. For the low low price........of $200.
I say we pool our money together and buy a Roman Reigns one that says "I hereby pledge no Superman Punches or Spears if my arm has been worked over for the previous 10 God Damn minutes!!! This is a legal binding contract that requires me to do so. - "The Big Dog" Roman Reigns."
$200 well worth it, haha

Daniel Bryan has been answering Twitter questions/comments tonight during Total Bellas and he's talked about wanting to wrestle Cody, The Bucks, Marty, Kenny Omega (in a big stadium) and others. When asked who is the best wrestler in the world today, he said AJ, Cesaro, Zack Sabre, Rush, Minoru Suzuki & Negro Casas
Then when said he wanted Sami Zayn on Smackdown, but it hasn't worked out how he'd hope thus far, Sami's response...
Just go through his Twitter & read the answers. You can tell he really wants to wrestle still. I bet he leaves WWE after his contract is up. Even if Brie does come back to wrestle. He's missed wrestling for too long.

Not gonna lie, these past few weeks on Smackdown, I've been skipping the Jinder promos. Apparently some news outlets have picked up on the "racist promos" he's been cutting. WWE hasn't even put it up on YouTube from this past week. He's basically cut the same promo two weeks in a row, but this time was saying that Nakamura looked like Mr. Miyagi and wax on/wax off and how he "rooks" the same in every picture.
Crowd apparently chanted "This Is Racist" and "That Was Too Far" during it.
WWE already gave their corporate meaningless non-answer about it in their response. Honestly it just seems like lazy writing to me. Then again, look who we're talking about.

I haven't seen Smackdown yet but I won't be offended by whatever they wrote for Jinder. What I am offended about is that they made him champion in the first place.

During an interview with The Pueblo Chieftain, Kevin Owens spoke on the villainous persona he’s played throughout his career:
"I've basically been playing that role for a decade. When I think of things that make me not like people, I can tap into that easily because I like to watch and observe people and their personalities.
"And through the years, I've taken from a lot of people, little things that I consider to be unlikable traits. So why not use it at work?" That means it is entirely possible that Kevin Owens has seen you out in the world, observed you, found something about you he does not like, and used that to make himself a better heel on television.
That’s beautiful.

Jeff Hardy tore his rotator cuff & tore his labrum and will have surgery. He got hurt in the 6 pack challenge last week on Raw.

After months of joking about it, and just one day after Bullet Club “invaded” Raw, WWE sent The Young Bucks an ACTUAL cease and desist letter over the “Too Sweet” hand gesture.
Pro Wrestling Sheet has confirmed WWE reached out to the popular Ring of Honor/NJPW tag team to say they own the copyright to the “Too Sweet” hand gesture and have discovered that the brothers have been using it in other companies, as well as on merch.
Therefore, WWE is demanding the Bucks stop using WWE intellectual property in-ring and on any merchandise immediately. If not, they may be hit with $150K in damages or more.
They also want an agreement in writing saying the brothers wont use WWE IP again in the future.
It’s unclear at this point whether The Young Bucks plan to fight this, but sources tell us they’ve consulted with a lawyer and will figure out what’s best in the days to come.
While we don’t know for sure, it’s hard not to assume that this was done as a reaction to the Bullet Club “invading” Raw this week which can be SEEN HERE.

Only reason WWE are twats about this is because of how popular the Bucks have made it. WWE put out a dumb Too Sweet shirt a few years ago & it didn't do good sales. Now they're targeting The Bucks who are making a ton of money off of it. Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, X-Pac all have given then their blessing (I think even on WWE Table for 3 even, while not named specifically, they did talk about The Bullet Club doing it as a tribute).
Balor, Gallows & Anderson had been doing it before The Bucks, hell the whole Bullet Club has done it for years in Japan.
WWE are assholes.

Well this would make me happy........ - The current belief is that Jinder Mahal will be the WWE Champion for the rest of 2017 and possibly until Wrestlemania 34. There is a chance that Mahal loses the title to Shinsuke Nakamura at Hell in a Cell but then wins it back during WWE’s tour of India in December. Even though the tour is RAW-branded, Mahal is expected to be a big part of the shows.

Could you imagine how enjoyable Smackdown would be if Rusev was World Champion?
Jinder could still do the gimmick he's doing as US champion. He could be a dick and do what Lance Storm did in WCW and instead of making it the Canadian Heavyweight Title, make it the Punjabi Heavyweight Title. It'd get the same reaction he's getting as World champ.......which is none, but it wouldn't be at the expense of the SD World Title.

Originally had this in the ROH thread, but seeing as it has to do with WWE being dickheads with the whole Bucks situation, I moved it here.
Latest Being the Elite is up. Bucks dad found the cease and desist letter, so Matt & Nick burned a bunch of Too Sweet merch, then held up the letter given by the WWE Stooges to burn at the end, but written on the back was FINAL BATTLE 2018.
Could that be the Bucks last date before going to WWE? Could that be a triumphant return of one Bryan Danielson to independent wrestling?
Wonder what the teaser could mean?
Anyways it was a great ep, sad, funny, intriguing. Everything that RAW isn't.

Apparently Final Battle 2018 will be around when Daniel Bryan's 90 no compete clause will expire if he chooses not to resign with WWE when his current contract expires at the end of September next year. Very interesting.

So if Vince died tomorrow do you think HHH would wait until Smackdown the following week to take the belt off Jinder or would he job him out at a house show.
