[The GOAT]

Looks like a pretty good card, really. I'm a bit concerned about them having eight matches, though. With two HIAC matches and a 2-Out-Of-3 Falls match, you'd think they'd limit the number of matches to like six or seven (unless they end up throwing one of 'em on the pre-show, probably the US or Tag Team Championship match), but whatever.

They released the video below for the Intercontinental Championship match. Good to see they want to treat it like a serious title defense, especially seeing as how it's the most prestigious championship being defended on the show since Brock Lesnar isn't around:

I suspect the 2 out of 3 falls match will be a 20 minute affair. which would be pointless but promotions always fuck up with this concept.

Having 8 matches on this kind of PPV is a bit concerning, indeed. Especially knowing that the 2 of those will be inside the cell itself and would be fairly long, as well as the Ziggler/Cesaro match.

Since Mizdow will be hosting the MizdowTV on the pre-show... He might as well call out The Miz and Sheamus, they kinda get in a fight and start the title match right away... Or they could throw in the Tag Team championship match in there, on the pre-show... We'll see, though.

All I know is that this is a good card and I'm looking forward to HIAC.

- Sheamus vs Miz should be good, while Mizdow is gonna be hysterical outside the ring...
- Rollins/Ambrose and Cesaro/Ziggler would be up for Highlight Of The Night for sure.
- I'm also curious how they'll end Cena vs Orton... And as well as what'll be the REAL main event... Who'll actually close the show (Orton/Cena or Ambrose/Rollins).

The fact that the Mizdow TV segment is on the pre-show is what got me thinking the US Title match might end up being booked there instead. All it would really take is Sheamus coming out to interrupt The Miz and saying something along the lines of "Why wait until later, let's fight now!", and bam, the title match is on early.

As for Cena vs Orton, I think a good ending would be a duplication of Austin and HHH's 3 Stages Of Hell match from No Way Out 2001, where both men have foreign objects and turn around and end up knocking one another unconscious at the same time, and HHH's body just happens to fall on top of Austin's for the pinfall. Regardless of who picks up the victory here, this would be a logical way of booking it since since whoever's body falls on top of the other's in a scenario like this one is simply a matter of serendipity luck and thus makes both guys look evenly matched. If Orton wins, then he picks up a win over Cena in a matter that still makes Cena look strong. And if Cena wins, it makes Orton look strong since they're in the midst of an Orton face turn and have reasons to want to protect him as much as possible one way or the other.

Nailed it 100% there, as always, right on point.

I could totally see that happening. We'll see, though... Somebody may get involved in that match, I mean any scenario is plausible. Looking forward to seeing how they do that one, as well as Rollins vs Ambrose (which I have a feeling Bray Wyatt is gonna magically appear and cost Ambrose the win).

Maybe Orton will come out and RKO Seth right before his match and then proceed to lock him in the cage with Dean and Dean just ruins him with the Dirty Deeds or Double Arm DDT and that will only take a brief amount of time.. Rusev will probably make big show tap in 6-8 minutes.. AJ Lee vs Paige will be about 7-10 minutes estimated.. Tag Match will be about 10-12 minutes.. Brie will probably get jumped by Nikki's goons halfway down the ramp and that match will be about 5-7 minutes. I think they could squeeze all 8 in the PPV.. I'm pretty sure there has been several times where the PPV has gone on 10-15 minutes past the time slot given too although I'm not 100% sure on that.

I don't see Rollins/Ambrose match going that route, tbh. Orton may get involved before/after the match to get some sort of payback from Raw... But, their match will be physical and it'll be fairly long, imo. Plus, for weeks now, I've had this feeling that Bray Wyatt is gonna get involved and cost Ambrose the victory.

I agree on the other stuff, though.

 

[The GOAT]

It would be insanely cheap of them to shortchange the Rollins/Ambrose HIAC match by having Orton pummel Rollins before the match even gets underway, especially since this is the one cell match that everyone is actually looking forward to.

I wouldn't really be shocked if they did it, tbh.

Still, I'm pulling for Wyatt to magically appear and cost Ambrose the victory.

Dont have enough time? Then don't have Cena vs Orton happen.

Lol, you wish. Even though Cena vs Orton has been done a zillion times before, the reason I'm okay with this is because Orton will win, most likely. And it's got me curious how they're gonna go with this one.

The upcoming Orton vs Rollins feud may not be bad.

You have two great wrestlers in Orton and Rollins, it's bound to be good.

Someone actually respects Orton as a wrestler? :blackshock: You're right though, dude can deliver.

I'm damn excited for this PPV tonight despite everything. We've seen Ziggler vs Cesaro a million times, and I get the feelings it will be an even better match than usual. AJ and Paige hopefully will get more than 6 minutes and will be awesome, and Ambrose/Rollins... yeah. Finally WWE delivers the match people want to see without the fans having to hijack every show for a month lol. Wish the overall card was better but I'll take any bit of optimism I can get from this, now lets enjoy the show tonight

I love Orton - the wrestler. Orton - the character, not so much. He's bland.

I do think Cesaro vs Ziggler is gonna deliver, like always. It'll be up for Highlight Of The Night, as well as Ambrose vs Rollins.
