Card looks great on paper. Hope it delivers as well as the past few shows.

Booker T made a couple of announcements on the preshow: #1 Rusev will be replaced by a former world champion in the IC Title Chamber match and # 2 Stevie Ray has signed a Legends contract.

JBL quoting Arrow is pretty hilarious.

Stardust wins a hard fought match with Zack Ryder that the announcers ignored for 90% of it. Stardust wins with his new finisher called The Queen's Crossbow.

Look at Zack Ryder being on TV twice in the same week.

Reigns turning heel? I like those two as friends and it would leave a babyface void, but I think Reigns can pull it off well.

Kalisto with a Homicide moment.

Is it wise to eliminate the two Hispanic tag teams first when the event is being held in Corpus Christi?

I think he is and I think it's a mistake. I was for it when it looked like it was hopeless to get him over as a face, but that's no longer the case. Turning him now would be like when Bret Hart turned on Sting in WCW after he finally got over as a face for the first time there really.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #11 on:** May 31, 2015, 08:38:34 PM »

I wouldn't advise it either, but I think he can pull it off somehow. Just don't see it fitting with Rollins doing so well.

Also, that tag match sucked.

KoppoKick · « **Reply #12 on:** May 31, 2015, 08:42:44 PM »

They were already short on heels and now Rusev is out with an injury. If not Reigns, then who? Kevin Owens might become the top non-Authority heel in the company.

Nikki Bella's entrance is better when her sister isn't there to get in the way.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #13 on:** May 31, 2015, 08:49:38 PM »

All current Divas should be forced to go down to NXT to learn how to work before they are allowed to wrestle again. Nikki definitely got better on her own and probably with Cena's help, but the rest are lost causes. Just looking at Paige slow herself down in this match because Naomi can't work is sad to watch. Go watch Paige in NXT, she was amazing.

FreebirdSTF · « **Reply #14 on:** May 31, 2015, 08:51:48 PM »

Out of top guys Reigns may be the best choice right now, but you've got guys like Sheamus/Barrett/Bray Wyatt you should really have been elevating to that level already.

Bray's actually in a bit of a weird spot in general. Elevation isn't exactly his issue honestly. It's just being used more effectively.

KoppoKick · « **Reply #15 on:** May 31, 2015, 08:57:41 PM »

Surprised the match of the night is going on so early.

Assuming Neville gets the death spot that is normally reserved for the Divas for the 2nd PPV in a row. Is that a rib against him?

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #16 on:** May 31, 2015, 09:02:55 PM »

Have no idea how they will book this. Seems like Owens should win somehow since the titles aren't on the line, but you never know with Cena's booking. He's been great with helping talent lately, but he doesn't call the shots, Vince does.

KoppoKick · « **Reply #17 on:** May 31, 2015, 09:03:47 PM »

Try to call a spot louder, John.

FreebirdSTF · « **Reply #18 on:** May 31, 2015, 09:04:45 PM »

I figure you're getting a non-finish and that's why this match is on so early.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #19 on:** May 31, 2015, 09:13:27 PM »

Cena has the worst kickouts in the world, no drama whatsoever. Surprised no one ever told him or he ever worked on it.

Before I hit send, Owens had an equal shitty one after that awesome moonsault miss.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #20 on:** May 31, 2015, 09:17:41 PM »

I almost had a stroke when he tried the package piledriver.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #21 on:** May 31, 2015, 09:24:15 PM »

Amazing. WWE management is very high on Owens and it can't get much higher than beating Cena clean.

Great match, Owens is going to be a huge star.

KoppoKick · « **Reply #22 on:** May 31, 2015, 09:24:46 PM »

Unreal. Wow.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #23 on:** May 31, 2015, 09:27:07 PM »

Doesn't even matter if Cena wins clean at Summerslam, he put Owens on the map.

Of course, every huge star has the guy who helped make him by beating them clean many times. HHH had Foley. Batista had HHH. Cena had everyone. Maybe Owens has Cena.
