Rey Mysterio to defend United States Championship against AJ Styles

AJ Styles’ world got turned upside down when Rey Mysterio relieved him of the United States Championship — albeit with a little help from Randy Orton — and now, “Uncle Allen” will have the opportunity to right the ship. Following his victory in Monday’s Six-Man Tag Team main event, Styles has been named the first challenger to Mysterio’s reign, giving him the chance to ensure The Ultimate Underdog’s second stint with the U.S. Title ends just as quickly as his first.

His victory is obviously not a foregone conclusion. Mysterio has been on something of a tear since his son Dominik convinced him not to retire a few months ago; the odd loss aside, he’s been a near-constant source of dominance ever since. And, of course, there’s always the threat of Orton still lurking on the periphery — though given that The O.C. has never had a problem interfering on Styles’ behalf, we can probably place things on something of an even keel in the outside interference department. In that case, Monday’s stage is set as simply as possible: Mysterio vs. Styles. May the best man win.

Is wwe.com slacking with the preview or did you just get lazy...which is fine bc a lazy thread is better than no thread

It was literally the only thing they had up and it's not even in the Raw section. They only had results from last week up.

I'll check again because something must be up now.

Lazy is definitely one way to describe it because this is the second time WWE didn't have a preview this close to showtime.

Probably cause of the rewrites

Nope. Still no preview whatsoever in the Raw section and we're 30 minutes away.

Rusev and Lana to officially divorce on Raw

It’s finally happening, people. After weeks of psychological warfare, marital strife, extraneous make out sessions, restraining orders and arrests, Rusev and Lana will finally divorce on this week’s Raw. On paper (so to speak), this should be a net positive for both: Now, Lana is free to cavort with Bobby Lashley as much as she likes, while Rusev can start his own life anew free from his less-than-blessed union. Theoretically, this could all go down smoothly and without incident. But nothing has been quite so simple with these two for a time now. Strap in and get ready.

This is apparently happening, though.

Does no preview whatsoever mean this is going to be a clusterfuck of a show?

It could very well be, but then again SD a few weeks ago had to scramble and put on a bomb show.

 

[Sir Linko]

Feel like that's a bit different tho. Had to make whole new angles without changing it multiple times in a row. You just said fuck it and threw together a wrestling show. This feels more like they're struggling with preferences on what should happen, blagh

King doing Divorce Court......get it? Because court.

 

[Chris]

Starting with this divorce shit is fine with me so if it's trash at least it'll be over with.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Well at least we’re getting this out the way early.

 

[Chris]

I hate Lana's theme song

 

[Sir Linko]

So King was heel last week and now he's a babyface? Strange. Maybe he keeps his heelishness, but if not, how odd
