क्या पारंपरिक एलिमिनेशन मैच लौटेंगे? (Will Traditional Elimination Matches Return?)

While speaking to Al Arabiya English, John Cena was asked who’d he like to face at WrestleMania 34 next year and seemingly avoided giving a direct answer to the question by not mentioning anyone in particular.

“Aw, I’m never in the picking business, man. I might have mentioned that on Edge and Christian’s podcast. Don’t play Vince, if you’re not Vince. The best way to love what you do in that respect is to say, hey, here’s what’s going to happen, and then say, ‘Hey, I’m going to make this effin’ awesome.’”

Cena has been off WWE television since Survivor Series and is expected to make his return next week.

While John Cena is currently being advertised for the Christmas edition of RAW on December 25th, he’s also being advertised for the December 30th SmackDown Live Event. Cena is scheduled to face AJ Styles in Jinder Mahal in a triple-threat match for the WWE Championship Title.

As previously reported, Cena took time off from WWE television after Survivor Series to work on his non-WWE commitments.

Everyone’s favorite Demon King isn’t doing a whole lot on Raw right now. After an amazing performance against AJ Styles at TLC, Finn Balor was chokeslammed into oblivion by the real Demon, the Demon Kane. Prior to that, he was stuck in a seemingly endless feud against Bray Wyatt, and it did nothing for either man  (except maybe reveal that Finn should not wear gray trunks). Just last Survivor Series, he was cannon fodder for Team Smackdown. Yowch.

Let’s face it, Balor’s not doing much. He could use a change in scenery. He could move to Smackdown.

Raw Doesn’t Need Him

At times, it seems like Raw is really just hogging all the big names. Sure, Smackdown has AJ Styles and Randy Orton, but Raw has all three members of the Shield, Samoa Joe, Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman, and Finn Balor. To put things into perspective, Balor is billed at 5 ft 11. The average height of the rest of the name on there (excluding Finn) is around 6 ft 3. It seems almost everybody else literally stands head and shoulders above him. He is going to get lost in the land of giants.

Strowman just seemingly turned face and is unleashing all hell on anybody who dares to trifle with him. WWE clearly sees potential in him, so he’s at the forefront of Raw almost every Monday night. The Shield are WWE’s golden boys, so they get their fair share of time as well. Those guys are pretty much untouchable right now, so it’s Balor who is led to the slaughter most of the time, be it against Kane, Samoa Joe, or even Elias.

It almost seems that The Extraordinary Man Who Can Do Extraordinary Things  is expendable. This would be sort of okay if he was a midcarder who puts on competitive showings against top talents but ultimately loses. That’s not who Finn is. He’s the inaugural Universal Champion.

Russo is joined on today’s show by his co-host Jeff Lane, Kenny Bolin, and Big Vito.

Russo says this week’s RAW and Smackdown Live had to be the worst 5-hour follow up to a major PPV in WWE’s history. He believes that Stephanie McMahon has to be the least cool character in the business right now, and she’s very frustrating to watch because it’s quite clear that she thinks she’s cool.

Bolin says he recalls a time when Stephanie McMahon was a gorgeous woman. However, the longer that she’s with Triple H, the more he’s starting to make her look like Chyna by turning her into a gym rat.

Russo says there was no need for Braun Strowman to be in the opening segment of RAW this week, and his inclusion there made no sense whatsoever. He thinks the only reason that Strowman was in that segment was to set up the match with Jason Jordan later in the night, and that’s just lazy booking in his opinion.

Russo goes on to say that there was a much easier way to get Strowman involved in this angle. Angle should have named Strowman as the first member of Team RAW, which would have pleased Strowman and resulted in him having Angle’s back. Then when Triple H attacked Angle at Survivor Series, Strowman getting angry would have made much more sense.

Welcome to the fastest hour on television, 205 Live!

Enzo Amore is still the WWE Cruiserweight Champion, after defeating Kalisto for a final time on the Survivor Series Kick-Off Show. With that win, Enzo has finally put to bed the feud with Kalisto, something we’ll all be pretty happy about, and now he moves on to a new challenger. Who will step-up though? Cedric Alexander? Rich Swann? Mustafa Ali? It seems likely to be one of these guys, unless of course we get a surprise return.

Drew Gulak and Akira Tozawa will do battle tonight to put a nail in their feud. For weeks Gulak has been boring the WWE Universe with his presentation slides and his new determination to stop all chanting. Well, naturally this got under the skin of Akira Tozawa, whose main method of communication is a chant. The two have traded barbs and blows as of late and tonight things shall be settled in a Street Fight.

That’s it for tonight’s 205 Live preview, the show begins right after SmackDown Live and remember to download the Ringside News app. Enjoy the show!

On today’s show former ECW, WCW and WWE Superstar, Big Vito and Jeff Lane will discuss Survivor Series.

Vito points out that WWE brought Kalisto into 205 Live to get good, entertaining matches out of Enzo Amore. Unfortunately, that hasn’t happened and the experiment has failed big time. He says that Kalisto has definitely taken himself out the Title picture for an extended period of time.

He says that Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn definitely did something to piss people off because they went from the main event picture to being placed into the ‘Ha Ha spot’ with Breezango at Survivor Series. He thought this was a terrible match, and these two kickoff show matches really started the show on a poor note.

Lane points out that NXT: War Games didn’t sell out, and the crowd arrived late for Survivor Series. He wonders if four nights of wrestling in a row is becoming too much for fans. Vito says that NXT lost a lot of big stars recently before they had the proper people ready to replace them. He suggests that maybe WWE should consider rotating a few talents back and forth from NXT and the main roster.

Vito thought Survivor Series’ 5-man booth had way too many voices. He also thought that Shawn Michaels had a poor showing on the kickoff panel. He says that he has no heat with Michaels but he made no sense whatsoever on that panel, and the other panel members had to bail him out on several occasions. He points out that when you’re not cutting promos on a consistent basis there’s going to be some rust.

It was being speculated Sunday night by various websites that Brock Lesnar may have been injured in his Survivor Series match against AJ Styles, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.

Many fans in attendance noticed Lesnar limping to the back after the Champion vs. Champion match and figured that he was hurt. We can confirm that he’s not hurt and was only selling the match. Lesnar appeared fine backstage after the match.

Lesnar isn’t expected to return to television at all for the rest of the year . Lesnar’s next match will be at The Royal Rumble event, however Vince McMahon nixed the plans for the match against Balor that they were previously building. It remains to be seen who his next challenger will be.

Welcome to Monday Night Raw, just 24 hours removed from a historic Survivor Series!

Team Raw defeated Team SmackDown Live last night, in no small part thanks to Triple H. Team Raw was cruising to a 3-1 win over SmackDown Live, largely because of Braun Strowman, but just as Kurt Angle was about to snap Shane McMahon’s ankle, The Game stepped-in and hit the Raw GM with a Pedigree. HHH then helped Shane cover Angle to take the standings to 2-on-1, only to hit Shane with a Pedigree and score the overall win for Monday Night Raw. Strowman stood on the apron, as confused by the proceedings as everyone else. The Game celebrated his win and attempted to include Strowman in his victory, however Braun choked Triple H and told him never to cross him again. Sadly, Triple H didn’t listen and attempted to Pedigree Braun, which earned him two running powerslams. Where does the Raw team go from here? Kurt Angle will want answers from The Game for attacking him, and will HHH be pissed about the attack from Strowman? There are a lot of new questions that we’re excited to see unfold tonight and beyond!

Also at last night’s Survivor Series, Team Raw’s ladies defeated SmackDown Live’s best women. It was a hard-fought match that ultimately came down to Natalya and Tamina versus Asuka, and it was the Empress of Tomorrow who stood tall at the end of the night, retaining her undefeated streak and looking fairly unstoppable! This has to have sky-rocketed Asuka to the top of the food chain, where Champion Alexa Bliss is on shaky ground after losing to SmackDown’s Champion, Charlotte. Will Asuka be the next challenger to Bliss’ Championship, or will she have to prove herself over a big opponent like Sasha Banks or Nia Jax? Hopefully we get an idea of the new direction tonight.

The next Raw PPV isn’t until the Royal Rumble in January, so the red brand has a long time to build stories. One such story will be the next opponent for the Beast Incarnate, the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar. At Survivor Series, Lesnar had one of his best ever matches against the Phenomenal AJ Styles and prevailed once again. Lesnar is now in need of a new opponent as we head into the Royal Rumble but it’s unclear who that challenger may be. Finn Balor may be next in line to challenge Lesnar, although I wouldn’t expect to see Lesnar back in a WWE ring for a number of weeks. Let us know who you want to see face the Beast!

There was so much more that happened last night, like The Bar losing to The Uso’s, and you can expect to see a ton of fallout tonight. Remember to download the free Ringside Talk app and enjoy the show!
