2019 Pro Wrestling thread

This Tweet grabbed my attention too, so I went and looked in wrestling db:
Since Cena got squashed by Lesnar for the title at that Summerslam the following have beaten him clean or clean-ish:
Kevin Owens
Seth Rollins
AJ Styles
Nakamura
Bray Wyatt
Roman Reigns
Undertaker
and now Finn Balor

Definitely varying degrees of success there but an impressive list

 

With the Royal Rumble a few days away, let's hear some of your predictions.

 

Anybody who missed Rey and Andrade last night, find it. 16 days into the year and we may have the main roster match of the year.

That might have been one of the best matches I've EVER seen out of Rey, and I was a WCW loyalist during his original heyday.

 

They brought back Rey for Andrade to have such matches.

 

I don't doubt it. And credit to Rey for still moving like he does at 44, in spite of all the wear and tear he's taken over the years.

Just now catching up on Monday and Tuesday's shows.

Raw was pretty good from what I saw, and I'm liking the cameos by all the NXT call-ups. Dozovic's charisma can get Heavy Machinery over by itself. Also loved the Smackdown interaction with New Day and Becky. Woods shrieking "OHHHH NOOOOO!" made me laugh for whatever it was.

I would've thought Asuka could speak better English by now, but I do hope that she holds the belt past Mania.

The Mandy Rose-Naomi angle needs to just die already. BUT we did get to see a lot of Mandy and that's good.

QUESTIONS FOR THE GROUP

Where are the NXT folks going? Which show.

Who's winning the women's tag belts?

 

NXT talent destinations
EC3: Smackdown
Lacey Evans: Raw
Heavy Machinery: Raw
Nicki Cross: Smackdown
Lars Sullivan: Smackdown

Women's tag title winners: Riott Squad

 

Not sure if there has been an update on Lars since this came out:

NoDQ.com - Major match for Lars Sullivan reportedly in jeopardy

 

Have to give the womens tags to sasha and bayley right? Its been a story for well over a year. Riott squads good, they should take the belts when its time for the breakup, but I think to start they want the 2 stars on top..... and if the champs are allowed to cross brands its a good way to get them on the same show as the other horsewomen

 

Good podcast from Jericho about how his post-WWE path has come about. It includes how, after Jericho won the IC belt for NJPW, he pitched an IC vs. IC champ match vs. Rollins at SummerSlam, but it was ignored by Vince.

 

Nobody can’t accuse him of keeping guys down in his old age.
