WWE Speculation • Page 145

from the Observer:

Shane Strickland is basically in the same situation as Ricochet in regards to coming to WWE; his MLW contract has an out, but he's still stuck because of his Lucha Underground contract.

WWE and AAA had interest in Marko (before the injury).

Jonah Rock is a part of the January PC class with Trevor Lee and ACH

Kushida, Karen Q, and Rachel Elllering all being courted by WWE

Queen of the Ring possible for the second all-women's PPV

WWE UK deal strictness kept Walter from doing any offense on Meiko, and a big reason for no "man on woman" violence is their deal with Mattell

 

Kushida will be straight to 205live midcard and he's better than that. Surprised Rachel Ellering hasn't been signed already.

 

Kushida in WWE would bum me out

 

Yes please.

 

START USING RACHEL'S REAL NAME

 

I don’t get why they changed it yet still mention who her dad is

 

iirc it was enraging to me that JR kept mentioning him during MYC1, but made zero reference to the fact that he was currently on NXT at the time

 

WWE Reportedly Interested In Signing Dalton Castle

Hmmm.

 

I just wish he'd take time off and get back into shape. He looked like half a person last night.

 

Yeah he needs to take time off and heal up.

I think he would do very well in NXT. He fits better there than ROH in my opinion

 

I'd love to see him in NXT, A Dream/Castle feud would be incredible but I'm sure Dream will be called up before he gets there

 

Weren't they interested in him for like, years? I'm sure he would have plenty of time off until he debuted so it would be fine.

 

Raw spoilers for next week:

- Elias defeated Bobby Lashley in a Miracle on 34th Street Fight

Elias scored the win after using a violin and smashes it on Lashley. At one point during the match, Elias opened a box filled with Legos and Lashley took a bump on them. Elias poured eggnog on Lio Rush after the match was over.

- Bobby Roode and Chad Gable defeated The Revival to retain the Raw tag team titles.

- Finn Balor defeated Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler in a triple threat match

Balor won the match after hitting Ziggler with the coup de grace. McIntyre went to attack Balor once the match was over but was laid out by Ziggler.

- Sasha Banks, Bayley and Ember Moon defeated Alicia Fox, Dana Brooke and Mickie James

The Riott Squad came out after the match and attacked the babyfaces.

Paul Heyman came out to talk about Brock Lesnar. He ended up singing a holiday song until Braun Strowman came out and said that he would beat Brock Lesnar for the title at the Royal Rumble.

- Ronda Rousey defeated Natalya to retain the Raw women’s title

Ronda submitted Natalya with an armbar to retain.

- Heath Slater defeated Jinder Mahal by disqualification

The Singh Brothers interfered to end the match. Rhyno dressed as Santa arrived to make the save, goring Mahal.

- Seth Rollins defeated Baron Corbin

Rollins defeated Corbin with the curb stomp to close out the show.

 

Was that all filmed last night after Raw? That crowd had to be miserable.

 

but its DOUBLE the wrestling for one price!

 

Sounds like a typical holiday show

 

I went to a double taping once. It was only like an extra hour and 15 since they didn’t have to stop for commercials

 

I know this is setting up the Rumble...but my god, all Sasha and Bayley have done since WM is fight the Riott Squad.

 

Ali went over Almas at Smackdown tonight (next week's episode)

 

I wish both guys could win all the time

 

Rusev is the new US champ

 

Merry Rusev Day!

 

Blimey, Karl Anderson pinned Cesaro in 4 on 4 tag on next weeks SD. Sanity reappearing and looking strong this week, The Club pinning the tag champs. Maybe Vince is listening. “Damnit, we’re gonna have to use these guys they actually like as opposed to the ones I’m trying to make them like, aren’t I?”

 

I'm gonna be pretty surprised if Nakamura decides to stay with WWE. I think the only feud he won this year was the Jeff Hardy one.

 

If Kenny is actually leaving NJPW to do AEW then they could really use Nak back
