So it's an Ambrose/Reigns final by the looks of that. Be interesting to see the winner of that, win dirty and go heel. Unless someone does there isn't a heel other than Bray that I can think of and he's busy.

Roman Reigns vs Ziggler. Bray Wyatt interferes, costs Ziggler the match, and then feuds with him for six months (unsuccessfully) trying to coax out his dark side.
Yeah looks like WWE given Roman a "hard" draw so he can overcome the odds bla bla bla
What a shamblesOriginally Posted by Jeet
Hasn't Breeze been on the main roster for about two weeks? And when did Kalisto or Titus O'Neil last compete in a singles match, let alone win one? Quite surprised R-Truth isn't in there as well.
I was going to say it was a massive slap in the face to all the midcarders, but then I remembered they don't exist. Probably a bit ambitious of WWE to go for a 16 person tournament when five or six of their top guys are unavailable. Might've been better to go with an 8 person tournament or a massive ladder match or something of the like so they don't have to expose the hideous lack of depth on their roster for everyone to see.
In before the massive Stardust push.
Could have put Swagger a former WHC in and even Sandow former MITB winner. I know they are fuck all now, but is Miz is in. Bo should have been in aswell. Former NXT champ, what has Kalisto done?
Lulzy spoiler for a RAW 'special guest' segment tonight.

The right hand side of that draw is a proper state.
Reigns vs. Ambrose has yawn written all over it.
I just don't see who, other than Owens, could actually get away with beating Ambrose out of those lot. It won't be Owens either because it's too soon.
If it is Ambrose and Reigns then Sheamus needs to come out with a Rollins style cash in mid-match to make sure none of the two ruins their 'cherry pop' title.
Were this a tournament to face Reigns at the show I could see them have Owens beat Ambrose but then lose the crucial one and have him vs Ambrose at the PPV with somebody else getting the title shot. Owens isn't getting a title shot.
That spoiler is the very reason I stopped watching. Well, one of the many reasons. That sounds horrific.
Darren Fletcher completely ignored by everyone despite playing for The Manchester United for years, still having a better 2015 in WWE than Damien Sandow.
Should had waited until SS for Taker and his jober brother to get their hands on Bray
A "This is awesome!" and two "Holy shit!" chants for a load of predictable guff. Good work, Manchester.
Three or four dodgy finishes for the matches as well.
A top-notch Raw all round.
A friend of mine went and he said seeing Undertaker live made up for what was a pretty shit event.
I can imagine that's true. I saw him back in the day at a Smackdown taping and it was incredible. Probably made better by the fact he was storyline injured and appeared out of the blue for a dark match.
Raw shit? Shocking that.
I went to Insurrextion 2003 and I got to see Rodney Mack in action, so you can all sod off.
I shook D'Lo Brown's hand at British Uprising 3, which also featured megastars AJ Styles, Spud and Hade Vansen who had that one vignette on Smackdown before assumedly dying.
Did you ask him when him and Regal are having their Ultimate European Championship match? Admittedly given they're at four apiece probably only the Mania main event slot following a four month feud would do it justice.
To be honest, I was too busy crying and trying to conceal my erection to concentrate on anything.
Raw this week got 3.16 million views. Raw from Liverpool last year got 3.93 million. 20% of the audience gone in a year.
I'm throwing a party when we get into 2 million territory.
You're such a weirdo about the WWE.
I know. It just bugs me how shit its become.
There has always been a lot of shit, it's just that there isn't now quite such a concentration of talent at the top end. I reckon the average is about the same, it's just that the peaks are less frequent.
There wasn't any shit until whichever year I stopped being a child. None at all. So I think you're mistaken there, Webly.
I love watching Val Venis get his naked jacksy smacked by an irate Japanese as much as the next man, but still...
Stay strong, Lewis.
Mark Mero and Barry Windham say hi, every fucking week.
The shit was always there but the good stuff was streets ahead, I've just passed King of the Ring 98 and it's about a million times better than anything even vaguely recent.
Eddie Guerrero died 10 years ago today. Cross post in 'things that make you feel old'
Let's all watch that again.
Is that 10, 15, or 20 years after he should have retired?
Selling that leg like a champ.
So Billy Gunn has been fired because he failed a PED test at a powerlifting competition in July that WWE didn't even know he was competing in. He's also been banned from powerlifting for 4 years.
What an odd story.
It's a 4:1 ratio to account for mega-athletes doing just enough gear to stay competitive. The actual 'normal' ratio is something like 1.2:1 for normal adults. What was he doing?
Lads, I've got the '06 Rumble up next.The show as a whole looks fairly atrocious but does anybody have any strong opinions on the actual rumble match? Retrospectives on it seem a bit mixed and I'm loathe to sit through something if it is in fact megashit.
Also only just saw that Kalisto beat Ryback on Smackdown. Did not expect that.
New Rey - need to boost the Mex's ratings.
Basically they wanted Kalisto Vs ADR.
I have that show on DVD. It's pretty crap. Don't think there are even any great cameos. Not a particularly good show in general, to be honest. Cena/Edge might've been decent, but I'm pretty sure nothing else is worth bothering with.
Yeah that was the only non-Rumble match I was looking at.
Though I might watch Boogeyman squash JBL inside two minutes.
On the back of my D'Lo/Regal post I've just been looking at how a similar matches for other titles would lookand came across the fact that Bradshaw was a 17-time Hardcore champion. I know they had the 24/7 thing and loads of times when the title changed hands a bunch of times during the same show but still.
Does that count each time a title changed hands during the same match as a reign? Because that's not how WWE counts it, and I can't imagine Bradshaw winning 17 actual championships.
Crash Holly, maybe. Bradshaw, no.
Bradshaw won the Hardcore one 17 times during that period where he was getting pinned while waiting for his bags at the airport. No?
Raven was a 27-time Hardcore champion within a span of less than two years. Prestige!
Yeah, each title change was a 'reign.
Here's a three night tour of Canada from 2002 - new champion, who they beat, town and date:
Shawn Stasiak Tommy Dreamer Kelowna, British Columbia 08-09-02
Steven Richards Shawn Stasiak Kelowna, British Columbia 08-09-02
Tommy Dreamer Steven Richards Kelowna, British Columbia 08-09-02
Shawn Stasiak Tommy Dreamer Kamloops, British Columbia 08-10-02
Steven Richards Shawn Stasiak Kamloops, British Columbia 08-10-02
Tommy Dreamer Steven Richards Kamloops, British Columbia 08-10-02
Shawn Stasiak Tommy Dreamer Vancouver, British Columbia 08-11-02
Steven Richards Shawn Stasiak Vancouver, British Columbia 08-11-02
Tommy Dreamer Steven Richards Vancouver, British Columbia 08-11-02
Wasn't there a pay per view where it changed hands about fifteen times? Trish Stratus (somebody with tits anyway) had it for about ten minutes I think.
Yea, I was going to say Raven smashed that. There's a few people with stupid number of reigns. Add in that one of Godfathers Hos had a reign and you can tell how prestigious it was.
Molly Holly. Patterson and Brisco took it from each other at some point, too.
