Guest bigmatt Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 The TV ratings have been very poor since Wrestlemania. It is hoped that Brock on TV again for a sustained spell (2-3 months say) will help that and boost/prop-up WWE Network subscribers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPIB 62 Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Seth Rollins © vs. Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship will take place at Battleground. If WWE is looking to generate some ratings for RAW and Battleground, then it's certainly working for me. I'm very intrigued on how they will make Rollins seem like he is in the same league as Lesnar.

Guest Ciaran The King Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Rollins is going over at Battleground, Owens has to win to have any credibility going forward on the main roster and Bray not Roman needs the win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jayfunk Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Against cena? No chance. He basically destroyed rusev. No, you get a win over cena and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigmatt Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 and Bray not Roman needs the win Because this smiley warms my heart for reasons I don't understand: :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ciaran The King Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Against cena? No chance. He basically destroyed rusev. No, you get a win over cena and that's it. Then there was no point in pushing him then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsrchris 190 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I think Owens needs the win. Especially with the US Title on the line, and Owens being the one asking for the title shot. It'd be a helluva way to bow him out of the NXT rotation and bring him up to the main roster full time. They've got to have faith in him because of the sheer smount of screen time he's getting across all shows, so now seems like a great time to have Cena finally not overcome the odds.

Guest Ciaran The King Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Owens I think will drop the NXT title in Japan and then he should win the US title to give him a good chance of making it on the roster which I feel he will do if he defeats Cena at Battleground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jayfunk Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) I would have thought Rusev would get another win but lost three in a row. What should happen and what will are totally different. I will root for Owens. Edited June 28, 2015 by bigmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigmatt Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I wonder if the plan here was for Rowan and Harper to attack Roman and drag it out to SummerSlam? They might have then done Roman and Dean against the Wyatts at some point. Rowan has a torn bicep now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Criterion Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Considering the show takes place in St. Louis, it's weird that Randy's not on the card. Ambrose doesn't have an opponent either. They should probably put them in a match together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sparrow Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Surely Kevin Owens big title win should be saved for Sumerslam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
