    Only 7 more taped Thursday Smackdown's left. It'd be nice if they were treated like a big deal till the switch.

    Announcing the last MitB participant this Thursday would be a start.

    I hope that gives the CC wrestlers a drive to step up their game. Competition like this truly makes everyone involved better.

    It's rare you get an opportunity to redo a big time terrible match and try to get it right. One of the big things today that wasn't around in 2004 is MMA influence. I think both Goldberg and Brock could do a good hybrid wrestling/MMA match if they really are getting a mulligan for Mania 20.

    Plus the crowd won't be predisposed to shit on everything they do.

    I have absolutely no interest in watching a 50-year-old Bill Goldberg, who hasn't wrestled in 15 years and wasn't any good at it when he did, do anything.

    I wouldn't mind it. I need to go back and watch the first time they fought but I hear it was a terrible match because both guys were on their way out so they just didn't care.

    If they do it right and put some effort into it then it could be fun.

    Yeah if they're going to do a second one it absolutely has to be different than the first. As soon as the bell rings both guys need to move like charging bulls and just beat the living shit out of each other.

    MitB is shaping up to be pretty damn good. Roman vs Seth always delivers, the ladder match has MotY potential, Crews vs Sheamus should be at least decent, and of course Cena vs Styles.

    Too bad Mania was such an overall letdown or this would be an amazing streak of great PPV's for WWE in 2016.

    Concerns about the status of NXT Takeover: Brooklyn seem unfounded. A big story yesterday was the fact that Ticketmaster and WWE.com had pulled all listing for the event, which was scheduled to take place during SummerSlam weekend. The Wrestling Observer reports that while many NXT talent was concerned after the listings were pulled, the show is still set for that weekend and was only pulled due it having outdated logos and event details.

    Ticketmaster will be adding the event back to the site with new logos and details soon.

    Full SD spoilers

    Champions The New Day kick off SmackDown but are interrupted by The Club. AJ Styles vs. Kofi Kingston is announced for later

    Becky Lynch defeated WWE Women's Champion Charlotte in a non-title match by DQ when Dana Brooke interfered. After the match, Natalya and Becky beat Charlotte and Dana down

    The Dudley Boyz defeated Goldust and R-Truth, after a ringside distraction from Tyler Breeze and Fandango

    Dean Ambrose and Sami Zayn defeated Kevin Owens and Alberto Del Rio. After the match, Owens brings a ladder in the ring and climbs up to grab the Money In the Bank briefcase

    WWE United States Champion Rusev defeated Jack Swagger. Rusev attacked after the match but Titus O'Neil made the save

    AJ Styles defeated Kofi Kingston in the main event. Styles used a Styles Clash to win while Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson, Big E and Xavier Woods brawled at ringside

    i'm sure it's fine because it's just to keep the feud going but it sure feels like weird booking that the dudleyz can't beat r-truth and goldust without interference. guess this really depends on how long the fight went before the interference, though.

    Probably the main event as well despite Drew Galloway and Bobby Lashley apparently doing a great job in building up the TNA title match.

    1. What is full metal about that?

    2. Does Jeff have spooky eyes painted on his eyelids!?

    I'm honestly going to tip my cap to Matt Hardy for somehow finding a way to look more ridiculous than a man with the flag of a fictional European nation on his face

    1. It's a TLC match. Also it's glam metal.

    2. Of course he does.

    I'm the only Lashley fan here but I still wish he could have ended up as a top heel in WWE.

    WWE has Roman vs Seth and the MitB headlining their PPV, TNA has Matt vs Jeff Hardy (fucking ridiculous build aside it's still a marquee match based on name alone) and Galloway vs Lashley (should be a great match) headlining theirs, and ROH has Jay Briscoe

    Oh yeah ROH does have a second marquee match for Best in the World. What is it you ask?

    BJ Whitmer vs Steve Corino. Yes my friends, Steve Corino is involved in a top PPV match that's had over a YEAR of build up in 2016.

    And it's been good buildup from what I've seen.

    Whitmer has always been a solid hand and he's mega over as a heel. Last ROH show I was at, he literally couldn't talk for over five minutes because the fans were booing him so much.
