Ambrose/Cesaro/Reigns/Ziggler beat the Wyatt Family after Raw. After the match, Reigns and Ambrose promised to go to the finals of the WWE Title tournament at Survivor Series and that the two of them will remain brothers no matter who wins. A lot of people expect one of them to turn that night. We'll see what happens.
WWE.com looked at the history of the BSK, Undertaker's backstage allies against the Kliq in the '90s.
- I'm surprised they acknowledged BSK, but I guess enough time has passed.
- OMG. I would pay to hear Undertaker rap.
- The Kliq has been mythicized as holding back, like, everyone.
- I can't blame people for being upset about the Curtain Call given the climate at the time.
- Do NOT fuck with Undertaker.
- I'm glad Taker and HBK get along now.
- Imagine the BSK going to WCW!! We'd be looking at a very different wrestling world now. Although I imagine there would still be macro problems for them.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Reid Flair and Charlotte's mom tweeted about the angle that closed Raw. I think it was a cheap way to build interest for Sunday's title match. Charlotte vs. Paige should sell itself without having to resort to soap opera angles. They're fumbling the Divas' Revolution because there's still a faction of people pushing for the Total Divas stuff to take center stage.
WWE has released a new Gobbledy Gooker shirt. How about The Gooker faces The Bunny at Survivor Series? It's either that or a painful Trump parody.
Raw this week got 3.29 million viewers. Hopefully Sunday's PPV leads to an increase in ratings. They need to really change things next week. It's time to build for the future.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I think it's fair to say Lynch should have spent more time in NXT. I think she could have developed into a top Diva instead of a sidekick. She's good and has potential, but they might have jumped the gun. We'll see how things look for her in 2016.
2. Breeze was in a tournament to declare the new WWE Champion. Even going out in the first round puts him ahead of some performers.
3. Crews has the backing of the diehard fans Reigns didn't have. Reigns was liked as a member of The Shield, but not as a guy who deserved a top-level push. Bryan's return didn't help things, but I think the seeds were planted before then. Hell, some people had disliked Reigns before that because he "replaced" Kassius Ohno in the idea for The Shield.
4. Some of it will depend on what things are like in six-to-nine months, but I definitely think Rollins as a dface vs. HHH could be fun.
5. A former WWE Champion in the WWE Title tournament losing to a guy who's never held the title? They could have done worse. I agree on one level, though. Fans are sick of the same old names still being in big roles.
More wrestling tomorrow.
