What We Envy… #2

Welcome to another What We Envy…! Before you continue on, I get really intense about certain things that make me really mad, and I type a lot, so if you want to click out now, I advise it. If you want to continue on and read, I really appreciate. This What We Envy… is about fake WWE fans, or I guess, fake wrestling fans in general. I’ve witnessed all of these myself, and in no way am I making it up. I have 10 different fake WWE fans that really make me angry, and I decided to share them with you through a What We Envy… This post, not only, will feature a lot of words, but also a lot of sarcastic CM Punk memes. That was your second warning. If you have any other kinds of fake wrestling fans that you’ve encountered, comment them and I can throw them up in this post at the end! Anyway, I present to you, What We Envy… About Fake WWE Fans.

Fake WWE Fan #1 – The Try Harder

Okay, so this one really annoys me. There have been a handful of people that have commented on my wrestling shirts, and that immediately gets my attention, but then the hit me with this: “Oh, I’m a huge fan of WWE, but I don’t watch it.” Like, I get that some people have stopped watching because it’s gotten terrible, but when someone has never watched it and claims to be a fan really annoys me. Some have claimed to me that they follow it through WWE’s Twitter account and the WWE Universe account, but does that really matter? Maybe it’s just me, but I think that if you’re a wrestling fan, you should at least watch RAW or SmackDown, or the occasional pay-per-view and keep up with what’s going on. I know dozens of wrestling fans that only watch pay-per-views because, for them, watching three hours of RAW is grueling, but they watch pay-per-views. I’m talking about these people that have seen maybe one pay-per-view, and that’s it, but they’re claiming to be this hardcore, best fan out there. That’s like me saying, “oh, I’m a fan of certain football team, but I don’t watch them, I follow them on Twitter though.” I just don’t think it makes any sense.

Fake WWE Fan #2 – The Cenation Follower

I guess this one bugs me the most recently because John Cena is so well known in pop culture nowadays, but he didn’t used to be. Don’t get me wrong, I love John Cena as a person, but I despise him as a wrestler. Anyway, there are some people that I’ve talked to, because I’ve worn John Cena shirts before, that love my shirts. I started talking to this one girl, and she went on about how she loved watching John Cena wrestle and how she used to have a toothbrush that sang his entrance music. Then, I asked her about other superstars, and she told me she only knew John Cena. I’ve encountered this situation so many times. I’ve known people that say they’re major wrestling fans, and that they love John Cena, but they don’t know anyone else who wrestles. Now, because of all his pop culture knowledge, everyone knows John Cena, but nobody knows what he’s from. I’ve asked people how they know the John Cena references and they can only tell me Vine, not that he’s a wrestler, and some people don’t even know that. I guess that’s just the world we live in now.

Fake WWE Fan #3 – New Day Rocks SUCKS

Yes, I hate the New Day, and you’re probably wondering how I have any say in this, but I’ll explain as I go. There are people out there who I’ve personally talked to who claim New Day sucks because “there is nothing great about musical instruments and unicorn horns in the ring.” Yeah… So, let me explain, I don’t hate the New Day because Xavier Woods plays the trombone or because they wear unicorn horns on their head. I hate them because I just never got behind them. They started annoying me with their lame promo videos for their debut, they annoy me because they’re heels whose characters don’t portray heels. No heel in history has been that colourful or that strange, but I don’t mind it that bad. I don’t like how they’re the only ones leading the tag team division. In my opinion, the tag team championship should change hands on RAW, it should be held for two pay-per-views or three and then changed. That’s the only real way to keep them relevant. Anyway, back to these fake fans… I hate people that, one, assume that wrestling is dumb because of superstars like the New Day, and two, people who think New Day is terrible simply because of their appearance. They’re great wrestlers inside the ring, and they’re great on the mic, however, people don’t know that until they watch them, and I’ve seen people talk terribly about them who don’t know anything they’re talking about.

Fake WWE Fan #4 – Nice Shirt!

I guess these aren’t necessarily fake fans, but sometimes they are. Some people will misjudge a wrestling shirt as just a cool pop culture shirt, but when people acknowledge that they know it’s a wrestling shirt, and then go on to call it a random superstar’s shirt bug me. Here’s an example:

Person: Nice wrestling shirt!
Me: Thanks!
Person: Is that Finn Balor or whatever his name is?
Me: No… it’s an Undertaker shirt.
Person: Oh, yeah, that guy…

If you’re going to say that it’s a wrestling shirt, be sure you know what you’re talking about. This really bugs me because then it’s really awkward afterwards because they were so confident and I just shut them down. There are also some people that say they want to buy a superstar’s shirt or a specific shirt, and I ask them if they know whose shirt it is and they have no idea. I mean, I buy wrestling shirts simply because I think they look cool, but I make sure I know whose it is before I buy it. I guess some people don’t care enough to do that.

Fake WWE Fan #5 – Oooh, That’s Gotta Hurt!

Okay, before I start this one, I have to say that I’ve pretty much always known that wrestling was fake, or staged. I mean, when I was a kid, I probably didn’t, but since then, I’ve known. Anyway, I wouldn’t necessarily jump to call these types of fans fake, but I wanted to touch on them. I think it was at the very first RAW I went to that a kid sitting two seats next to me was constantly talking about how this kick or that punch was going to hurt in the morning, like it was real. I don’t get how some people don’t know that wrestling isn’t real, it’s scripted. Not all the hits are real hits, not all the kicks actually hit someone in the face, not everything has contact.

Fake WWE Fan #6 – Just Because…

I get people that hate superstars, and I get that people like superstars, but I hate when people’s reasons are “just because.” Again, this isn’t really fake fans, but I wanted to touch on this as well. I think for every superstar I’ve ever liked, I’ve been able to give a reason, yes, some of those reasons include looks, but it’s better than “just because,” right? I don’t get how you can just like a wrestler without any rhyme or reason for it. This is almost as bad as people calling a wrestler they like cool. “I like him because he’s cool, you know?” No, I don’t know because that’s what I used to tell people as a compliment when I couldn’t think of anything else. Yeah, you’re cool, I guess.

Fake WWE Fan #7 – What’s A Storyline?

This kind of goes along with the first one, but here it is! I have encountered people that say they’re these major wrestling fans and that this guy is his favourite and whatnot, and then I ask them how they feel about the way this superstar is being used or how this championship is being handled, and they have no idea what I’m talking about. But I thought you were a fan? Oh, you don’t know any storylines, I thought you watched wrestling? This really annoys me because it’s like, why lie? I don’t get it, I really don’t.

These next three, I’m going to cluster together because they’re really similar.

Fake WWE Fan #8 – Yeah, That Guy!
Fake WWE Fan #9 – That One Move, You Know?
Fake WWE Fan #10 – That One Guy

There are people out there that ask me if “that one guy” still wrestles. Like what? Yeah, sure, that one guy. If you don’t know a superstar’s name, don’t talk about them! If you don’t know the name of a move, don’t talk about it! You know that one guy who does that one move? Yeah, you mean THE ENTIRE ROSTER? I seriously don’t understand how people can talk like this. “That one guy…” or “that one move..” just doesn’t cut it. There’s an endless amount of possibilities that it could be. I can’t have a conversation with people like that. I just give up so easily once those words come out of someone’s mouths.

Anyway, before I write for another like 8 hours, I’m going to stop here. If you’ve encountered any of these types of people, I’m sorry, because I understand. I hope you enjoyed this little rant in the style of a What We Envy… Thanks for reading all the way to the end if you did! I really appreciate it! I’ll be posting a lot more about WWE in the following few months, and I hope you return for those!

Holiday Bucket List & Ideas

Welcome to a new series on Outside the Brass Ring called “25 Days of Christmas.” For the next couple of weeks leading up to Christmas, I am going to post one entry a day somehow related to the holiday season and Christmas. I figured I’d kick it off with my holiday bucket list and ideas on how you can make your own bucket list for the holidays!

Here’s my bucket list!:

There are a few ways you can make your own holiday bucket list. Obviously you can come up with the ideas from your head without any help, but if you want or need a little help, here are a few tips that I have found useful! Visit Etsy and search either ‘holiday bucket list stickers’ or ‘christmas bucket list stickers.’ They have a lot of interesting ideas, and you can even buy the stickers to make a cuter holiday bucket list. Another idea is to simply google ‘christmas bucket list’ or ‘holiday bucket list’ and go through the images that it comes up with. All of these can help you make a bucket list, but what’s the use of a bucket list if you don’t look at it or do anything on it. For me, personally, I like to put a couple of items on there that I know I’m going to do already, which let me cross those off and motivate me to try and do all of them. You can also save it as your home screen on your phone so you look at it every time you go on your phone. You can also print out pictures, or buy stickers, and make a collage on a poster board of your bucket list. This is also a fun idea to do with your family and post it in the living room or somewhere where people go all the time. This can make your holidays filled with fun adventures, and keep you busy throughout the holidays. Don’t get too stressed with all the holiday shopping and go do something fun on your bucket list!

I hope this helped some people. Leave a comment with something from your holiday bucket list, or tweet me, @graveyardpxnk, and we can talk about holiday bucket lists, or I can give you some ideas! Don’t forget to check back tomorrow for another entry in my 25 Days of Christmas blog series! I hope you liked this and I hope you’ll continue reading the rest of the series!

If you’re interested, I’ll leave a photo of my upcoming posts so you can look and see what you may be interested in! Click on it!

WWE Championship Tournament

A lot of people have been saying that Seth Rollins getting hurt was at the worst time possible, but I really don’t think it was after watching this tournament. Yes, there were some really weird moments and really unnecessary matches, but overall, I think it was perfect timing. Even though I strongly dislike Rollins, I’m sad that he’s hurt and sad that he’s gone for 9 months. At Survivor Series, it was obvious that Reigns was going to win and become the new champion. I’m not saying that I wished for Rollins to get hurt, but having a tournament does give a new storyline that wouldn’t have been present before. I personally think that a tournament like this has perfect potential to make lots of storyline throughout the tournament. “You lost me my shot at the WWE Championship, I’m going to interfere in your next match so you don’t have an opportunity either.” Well, that could’ve happened, but we all know it didn’t. I say it has perfect potential, WWE creative doesn’t understand that obviously.
Yeah, I get it, I claim that I know everything that WWE creative should’ve and wouldn’t do. I am obviously no storyline expert, but I like to pretend I am. If you have decided to read up until this point you’re probably asking yourself what I would do with the tournament. Oh, you’re not? Well, I’m going to share anyway.

Round 1 –

Roman Reigns VS Bray Wyatt
↳ Roman Reigns advances

Sheamus VS Cesaro
↳ Cesaro advances

The Miz VS Damien Sandow
↳ Damien Sandow advances

Alberto Del Rio VS Jack Swagger
↳ Jack Swagger advances

Kevin Owens VS Kalisto
↳ Kalisto advances

Neville VS Stardust
↳ Neville advances

Ziggler VS Big E
↳ Ziggler advances

Dean Ambrose VS Tyler Breeze
↳ Dean Ambrose advances

Round 2 –

Roman Reigns VS Cesaro
↳ Roman Reigns advances

Damien Sandow VS Jack Swagger
↳ Jack Swagger advances

Kalisto VS Neville
↳ Neville advances

Dolph Ziggler VS Dean Ambrose
↳ Dean Ambrose advances

Round 3 –

Roman Reigns VS Jack Swagger
↳ Roman Reigns advances

Dean Ambrose VS Neville
↳ Dean Ambrose advances

Final Round –

Roman Reigns VS Dean Ambrose
↳ Dean Ambrose wins and turns heel

Now I’m going to go one by one for each match and explain why I would want these matches.

Round 1 –

Roman Reigns VS Bray Wyatt
↳ Roman Reigns advances
This would end the Wyatt/Reigns storyline and shove Wyatt out of the WWE Championship picture so he can truly focus on his mini feud with the Undertaker.

Sheamus VS Cesaro
↳ Cesaro advances
This would push Cesaro closer to a potential title run, while having Sheamus angered, continuing to lurk in the background of the championship storyline. He’s basically guaranteed a title opportunity, he doesn’t need to get any closer.

The Miz VS Damien Sandow
↳ Damien Sandow advances
I would love to have this rivalry continued because after Sandow stopped being with the Miz, he sort of just disappeared. This would keep both of them relevant, while pleasing the WWE Universe, I think.

Alberto Del Rio VS Jack Swagger
↳ Jack Swagger advances
This would give the US Championship a genuine rivalry with the Zeb Colter boys. Swagger already showed face, this could’ve jumped that rivalry. Del Rio has a championship, he doesn’t need to be in the WWE Championship picture.

Kevin Owens VS Kalisto
↳ Kalisto advances
Instead of having Kalisto defeat Ryback, he would’ve gone more over with the WWE Universe in beating a champion, again giving a genuine storyline surrounding the Intercontinental Championship.

Neville VS Stardust
↳ Neville advances
This rivalry is dead and over, but I think it would be cool to have Neville beat Stardust, and maybe have this be the turning point of Stardust becoming, well, not Stardust.

Ziggler VS Big E
↳ Ziggler advances
Remember when Big E and Ziggler were friends? Yeah, I think this would be a cool match. That’s literally the only reason I did this.

Dean Ambrose VS Tyler Breeze
↳ Dean Ambrose advances
I had no issues with this match in the original tournament. It was a great match, with great chemistry.

Round 2 –

Roman Reigns VS Cesaro
↳ Roman Reigns advances
Cesaro is a crowd guy, Reigns is a crowd guy who WWE wants to get over to be champion material. I’d have them have a good old fight, but congratulate each other at the end of the match.

Damien Sandow VS Jack Swagger
↳ Jack Swagger advances
These two guys obviously don’t belong in the title picture, but it can get them over with the crowd and hopefully push their own individual storylines.

Kalisto VS Neville
↳ Neville advances
Again, they don’t really belong in the title picture, but it would push Neville into being a main event guy, and hopefully push Kalisto into a solo match guy.

Dolph Ziggler VS Dean Ambrose
↳ Dean Ambrose advances
My two guys, but ones got to win. Ziggler belongs in the title picture, but Ambrose winning is crucial to the final match, okay? Okay.

Round 3 –

Roman Reigns VS Jack Swagger
↳ Roman Reigns advances
Putting Swagger with Reigns will give Swagger the push to take off as a title holding potential for later on. I think their styles will compliment each other, while putting on a good match.

Dean Ambrose VS Neville
↳ Dean Ambrose advances
Like I said above, I think this would push Neville upwards to a potential title run of any title. They would also compliment each other very will with the lunatic, high flying matchup.

Final Round –

Roman Reigns VS Dean Ambrose
↳ Dean Ambrose wins and turns heel
This is the best way to finish this tournament. The WWE Universe doesn’t seem to want Reigns as champion, they never do. I think that Ambrose and Reigns could have a good, fair fight and Ambrose would come out on top. Then, Reigns goes to shake Ambrose’s hand and BAM heel turn Ambrose. Yes, this needs to happen, okay.

Well, those were my thoughts on the tournament, and obviously, the final round is still possible. It’s just a question of, “Will WWE do it or not?” In a few hours, I will be posting my Survivor Series predictions, so if you are interested in that, look out on my Twitter, @graveyardpxnk, for when that comes out. Also, I will be posting another edition of WWEIWC, wacky wrestling endings I would change, on Hardly Serious following the pay-per-view. If you’re a WWE reader of mine, then I would recommend you go and read both of those, also check out my WWE category here on my blog and read anything you haven’t already. Comment or tweet me what you would have done with the tournament. Also, follow me on Twitter and you will gain a follower, me! I look forward to talking to anyone about anything WWE, so shoot me a tweet.

King of Darkness

There have been rumors circulating for about a month now about Undertaker potentially passing his torch of darkness to Bray Wyatt, yes, THE Bray Wyatt. With these rumors and the recent actions of the Wyatt Family against the brothers of destruction, a torch passing is not far fetched. Undertaker fought a hard match against Brock Lesnar at Hell in a Cell and was still able to stand, but the Wyatt Family came out and beat him down, barely standing. They carried him out and before a week was even up, Kane followed behind his brother. The Wyatt Family stole the brothers and Bray took their souls, cue terribly fake lighting strikes that only the TV audience can see. I feel like Survivor Series would be a good time for Taker to pass this torch, but with another match looming at WrestleMania 32, can Taker really pass the torch? Can one pass the torch of darkness and continue to wrestle as the king of darkness?With Survivor Series honoring “25 Years of Undertaker,” it wouldn’t be a bad idea for a traditional Survivor Series match of a 5-on-5, but the brothers of destruction are TWO and the Wyatt Family is FOUR. There isn’t really anyone I can think to join the Wyatt Family, well except Adam Rose, who was rumored to be joining them months ago. I guess that’s my the biggest question out there because what group of three men will join Taker and Kane?

Unfortunately, there is nobody worse to carry on Undertaker’s king of darkness gimmick than Bray Wyatt. He has terrible storyline history. He taunts a superstar, had a match at the next pay-per-view, but win or lose, it just stops, and repeat. It’s like taunt, match, win/loss, repeat. Okay, that was terrible. He doesn’t even have a good record against big names, with John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, and of course, Undertaker defeating him. His storylines end up being meaningless and not worth anybody’s time. The other unfortunate thing is that with Undertaker coming towards the end of his career, it’s without a doubt that he needs to pass on some sort of torch. He’s too big of a guy whose made too big of an impact to not have a torch worth passing. His legacy has to travel through him lifting someone up, and Bray is looking to be that guy.

Bray Wyatt is a decent guy, and I know it’s not his fault that his storylines have a terrible ending with no fall out for either man. That’s all WWE creative, and everyone knows how I feel about those guys. I can’t be the only one who gets chills when Bray Wyatt drops a promo. I’d even go as far as to compare him to the likes of The Miz, John Cena, and even CM Punk. He’s not a Paul Heyman, but hey, who is better than that promo giving walrus? Even WWE has ranked him 34th in their “50 Best Talkers in Wrestling History.” He’s got all the potential a WWE superstar could have, he just needs to get that push into the spotlight, and Undertaker could give that to him.

Rumor has it that Undertaker will have his final WrestleMania match against John Cena, a man he looks highly of and a man who he wants to basically end his career. John Cena needs no elevation, so there won’t be anything left after that match for either man really. That’s the unfortunate thing about it. WrestleMania 32 is completely perfect for Taker’s last match. I mean, it is in Dallas, Texas. However, if this torch passing is an actual idea WWE creative had, then, it’s not really ideal for Taker to have his last match at WrestleMania against John Cena.

This storyline really interests me and I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas about it as well. Comment down below, tweet me, @graveyardpxnk, or you can submit them here and I will respond there as well. I hope you enjoyed this storyline style blog post! I’d appreciate it if you were to like it or share it as well so others can read it, too! I appreciate the support I’ve been getting over my past few entries and would love to broaden my readers as much as possible. Later in the month, hopefully some time next week, I’ll post another storyline style blog post about the vacated WWE championship and the routes WWE creative can and should go with it. Until then, follow me on Twitter for any updates on my blog, and be sure to check out Hardly Serious on Mondays after RAW and after every pay-per-view or my edition of WWEIWC, Wacky Wrestling Endings I Would Change.

WWE Just Got More Gorgeous

Well, I don’t normally talk about SmackDown, and I don’t normally watch it on time, but Thursday was different. Because SmackDown is recorded on Tuesdays, a leak blew up on my Twitter timeline about the king of cuteville making his debut on SmackDown. Yeah, I wasn’t going to miss it. Tyler Breeze was great down at NXT, his character was stellar, his microphone skills were great, his in-ring ability was really great, and well, he is cute. It was just a matter of time until he came up to the main roster, however I was dreading that day. Obviously I am ecstatic about Tyler Breeze making his main roster debut, but I do have a lot of issues with it. Why you ask? Tyler Breeze was a star down at NXT, he was in storylines, and he belonged. Once he gets ‘upgraded’ to the main roster, he won’t have a spot in the title pictures, he won’t have relevant storylines, he’ll eventually job out and become the next Bo Dallas. I do BOlieve that. That’s why I’m here and that’s why you clicked on this link obviously, or you accidently clicked it while scrolling through your Twitter timeline and decided to read on. However you got here, you’re here. I’m obviously bugged by the way Tyler Breeze came up, that’s why I’m writing this right now. I’ve waited about a week to write this as well because I was hoping he’d do something at the pay-per-view or at least on RAW. He kind of did, but not what I was hoping. So, back to the actual blog post, here are 7 good and 7 bad issues with Tyler Breeze debuting on the main roster.

Good:

1. He is finally up into the bigs, and he has a chance to make a bigger name for himself.
2. NXT fans love him, so he already has a fanbase that’ll follow him up into the main roster.
3. WWE is due for some new superstars, and hey, maybe Tyler Breeze is just the start.
4. It gives a new vibe to this love triangle, err, square, err, pentagon storyline.
5. He brings a new dynamic for future storylines.
6. He has a good background of storylines that give him good credit for the future.
7. Ziggler and Breeze seem to have a decent amount of chemistry within that small segment, which makes me excited for their future together.

Bad:

1. His character is borderline jobber material based on WWE’s resumé.
2. He came up at a really bad time, right before a pay-per-view with someone who already had a match.
3. There wasn’t a real suspense because it was spoiled due to pre-taping. If he had videos or flashing noises of cameras tormenting Dolph beforehand, it would’ve been better build up.
4. WWE put him with Summer Rae. Need I say more?
5. He got thrown into a crumbling storyline that nobody really cares about anymore.
6. He probably only came up because it got leaked that Lana and Rusev are engaged, so WWE probably doesn’t have a real plan for him right now. Which is probably why he just sat at ringside on Monday.
7. I’m 99% sure he’ll be out of a storyline within the next month, which sucks.

So those are my 7 good and 7 bad issues with Tyler Breeze coming up to the main roster. I’m excited for what’s in store for him, but scared of the scarring it will do on his long career in WWE. I’ve fallen in love with superstars like this time and time again. Zack Ryder was amazing, fans loved him, and WWE just threw him in the corner and let John Cena take over. Dolph’s been in and out of title pictures and doesn’t really stand anywhere. I hope Tyler Breeze is different, but WWE scares me. Let’s hope for the best. I know this was a short and weird blog post, but I’ll be in Disneyland on Monday, so I won’t be posting WWEIWC on Hardly Serious. I’ll probably post my reactions or some sort of blog entry on here a few days after I get back, aiming for Friday, for both RAW and SmackDown of that week. Until then, follow me on Twitter,@graveyardpxnk, for updates on when I’ll be posting again. Talk to you then!

WWE Hell in a Cell Predictions

Welcome to Outside the Brass Ring! It’s Sunday, and that means in less than an hour, I’ll be sitting on my couch watching the WWE Network… well, I do that daily, but today is different! Hell in a Cell is tonight, and boy am I excited! Normally, I take to Twitter to voice my predictions, which I already did. I’ve decided, however, to make a blog post about it to go into more depth and detail that cannot be achieved in 140 characters. I’ve already made my predictions for tonight and if you just care about that, you can look here, and while you’re at it, follow me! If you want a more in depth look at the upcoming matches tonight, stay here and read on! One last thing before we get into the reason you clicked on the link. If you don’t know it yet, I am now writing for a website called Hardly Serious, where I post an article called WWEIWC, Wacky Wrestling Endings I Would Change. Tonight I will be posting one about Hell in a Cell, where I talk about every match and what I would’ve changed about the ending, obviously, if my predictions are incorrect, I’d probably change it. Look out for that on my Twitter either shortly after the pay-per-view ends or on Monday prior to RAW! So, now that I’m done blabbering on, I give you my Hell in a Cell predictions.

Match: Ziggler, Cesaro, & Neville VS Rusev, Sheamus, & Barrett

Naturally, if you know me, it’s not that hard to assume I’m rooting for Ziggler, Cesaro, & Neville in this match because Ziggler is in it. However, I do truly believe that they have a huge chance of winning tonight and here are my reasons, well I only really have one. For the past few weeks, Rusev, Sheamus, & Barrett have been dominating this trio without any bumps in the road. I have a good feeling that something is going to happen tonight within this team. I have a feeling that Sheamus is going to Brogue kick Rusev or Barrett unintentionally, or that Barrett will bull hammer Sheamus or Rusev unintentionally. I just hope it happens, honestly, because WWE is making Ziggler, Cesaro, & Neville jobbers right now, and they need a win to bring them back up in the rankings somehow.
My Ending: EITHER Sheamus Brogue kicks Rusev or Barrett, realizes it and gets pinned due to the distraction of hitting his own teammate OR Barrett bull hammers Sheamus or Rusev, fights through the accident, whoever he bull hammered attacks him and walk out, allowing Ziggler, Cesaro, & Neville to pick up the win via pinfall probably.

Match: The Dudley Boyz VS The New Day

Again, if you know me, you know I hate the New Day, so this prediction is no surprise. Last week on RAW, Xavier Woods disappeared and wasn’t at ringside, so I have a feeling he won’t be around at Hell in a Cell either. I feel like the evening out of odds will help The Dudley Boyz pick up a victory and pick up the Tag Team Championships. There have been rumors about Sasha Banks joining the New Day, and if that is true, it could happen tonight. If that happens, I will be really upset because she won’t be doing anything good and her coming up was such a waste of her time.

My Ending: The Dudley Boyz defeat the New Day via pinfall. Not having Xavier Woods around at ringside with the trumpet throws Kofi and Big E off because there is no added distraction for the Dudley Boyz.

Match: Kevin Owens VS Ryback

Even though I strongly dislike Owens as a champion, I didn’t really like Ryback as champion either. This is one of those matches where I have to choose the champion because of one reason and one reason only: Once the number one contender loses his rematch, he will be out of the picture and a new superstar will be added to the dynamic. This is exactly what I want to happen tonight. I want Ryback to lose so a new superstar can come in and defeat Kevin Owens for the championship. Who? I don’t know, and I really don’t care who else it is.

My Ending: Kevin Owens defeats Ryback via pinfall after a popup power bomb. There really isn’t much more detail I can go in with this one because I really don’t know what else could be a factor in the ending.

Match: Roman Reigns VS Bray Wyatt

This storyline has gone on too long, and I really like Roman Reigns, so naturally I want him to win. Bray Wyatt has become really annoying and boring recently, and by recently, I mean since he had that rivalry with Dean Ambrose I don’t even know how long ago. I really don’t want Wyatt to gain a victory over Roman Reigns, because that would probably mean a rematch. If Reigns wins, I think Wyatt will just move on to another victim like he always does.

My Ending: If the rest of The Wyatt Family is at ringside, my hope is Ambrose is as well. I hope The Wyatt Family tries to distract Roman and somehow distracts Bray instead, allowing Reigns to lock in the superman punch, spear combo, then pinning Wyatt victoriously.

Match: Dean Ambrose and Randy Orton (?) VS The Wyatt Family

So, apparently Orton just disappeared and isn’t cleared to wrestle or something like that. With that being said, Ambrose is on his own and needs an opponent. Who do I want it to be? Baron Corbin. I think that with Braun Strowman, I always spell that wrong, being the “black sheep,” naturally, his worst fear would be a “lone wolf.” If this happens, I will literally cry tears of joy. Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, and Baron Corbin as The Shield 2.0 would be literal perfection. WWE, don’t let me down like you did with bringing back Chris Jericho for two seconds, thanks.

My Ending: IF Baron Corbin comes up, I’d have him pick up the victory by defeating Braun Strowman because he is basically undeafeatable. If Baron Corbin does not come up, obviously I want Dean Ambrose and whoever to win because it’s Dean Ambrose. I’d love for Dean himself to pick up the victory, but as long as his team wins, I’ll be happy.

Match: Charlotte VS Nikki Bella

I’m still very salty about Nikki Bella becoming the longest reigning divas champion of all time, so if she wins I will literally be done with the divas division until she retires. I want Charlotte’s title reign to be more than a month or however long it has been. She was a good NXT Women’s Champion, so I know she’ll be a good divas champion. I assume Becky Lynch will be in Charlotte’s corner and that Brie and Alicia will be in Nikki’s corner, which gives Nikki a slight advantage. I’m curious to see if Paige or maybe even Natalya will be at ringside as well on Charlotte’s side. Whoever it may be at ringside, I hope twin magic does not happen because, come on ref, Nikki has boobs.

My Ending: Charlotte wins by using the figure 8 on Nikki, after she tries to attempt twin magic and gets caught by the ref. Hopefully Brie and Alicia get booted from ringside sometime during the match.

Match: Demon Kane VS Seth Rollins

So, after making all the changes to the little pictures the WWE Facebook posts, I realized that I chose Demon Kane to win, which means he’d become champion and Corporate Kane would still have a job. I obviously don’t want Demon Kane to be champion, but I don’t have the time to redo these pictures, so I’ll just keep them the same and roll with it. I want Corporate Kane to get fired so we can get Demon Kane all the time because while this split personality is funny, it’s already old. Even though this means Seth stays champion, I don’t think WWE will ever give Kane a championship again.

My Ending: Seth Rollins defeats Demon Kane via pinfall, so Corporate Kane loses his job. Demon Kane will continue to haunt Seth Rollins until he gets his rematch because Seth beat him here.

Match: Undertaker VS Brock Lesnar

With this being Undertaker’s potential second to last match in his career, I don’t think WWE will make him lose. Also, I think they will give Undertaker 2 of 3 against Brock Lesnar. Undertaker is getting to the end of his career, and his last match will probably be at WrestleMania in Dallas. I think he will win that match as well, but that’s not what I’m here for. I think Undertaker will put up a good fight against Lesnar and vice versa, but I think Taker will have the slight edge.

My Ending: Undertaker defeats Brock Lesnar in a CLEAN win, with a tombstone to end things. Paul Heyman will probably try to interfere somewhere in this match, but I don’t think it will cost anyone the match, I just thought I’d throw that in here as well.

Match: John Cena’s U.S. Open Challenge

I have to admit it, I was sad when there wasn’t a U.S. Open Challenge last week on RAW. Since it’s an open challenge, I don’t know who his opponent will be, but I have one hope of his opponent. Before I tell you that, I will tell you this, John Cena is probably going to win, and I will want him to win unless my predicted opponent is his real opponent. My hope for his opponent tonight would be Tyler Breeze, yes, the king of cuteville, prince pretty, the gorgeous one, Tyler Breeze. He debuted on Smackdown, which I am writing a blog post about and once it is posted, I will insert a link here. I will also publish a link on Twitter. Since he debuted on Smackdown, I don’t see a reason why he couldn’t accept the U.S. Open Challenge, and potentially win,

My Ending: IF Tyler Breeze accepts, he defeats Cena and becomes the United States Champion. If anyone else accepts, it’s more than likely that John Cena will retain and continue his reign and weekly U.S. Open Challenges.

Do you agree with my predictions? Tweet me, @graveyardpxnk, and let me know, let’s chat about it. If you liked this, then look out for my WWEIWC tonight where I talk about what ACTUALLY happened. If you want to look at my previous WWEIWC’s, check out Hardly Serious! I’ll hopefully talk to some of you on Twitter, and if not, I hope you’ll come back when I post my entry about Tyler Breeze. Thanks again for reading, I’ll talk to you next time!
