^ This is the actual match graphic on WWE.com lmaoooooo

[EJ!]

they really gotta chill out man lmao. there gotta be some kinda swerve or something coming. no way they expect us to think Edge and Randy *censored*ing Orton to put on anything close to the greatest wrestling match of all time.

[Oresama]

Elias to perform his own version of "Tribute" during the match.

[AONO.]

I don't think they do tbh

It's weird asf, but I don't mind it for some reason.

Looks like Bobby has it over his shoulder. Looks good tbh. Also, they got rid of that white/red logo quick. I liked it lol

 

[Crazy.]

Can't get into Lashley's matches at all but I trust Drew so I'll give it a shot. Don't really get what Lashley has done kayfabe-wise to get a title opportunity though. Seems like a lazy choice.

Greatest wrestling show ever.

[PaperThinWalls]

I feel bad for Edge and Orton for having to put up with the marketing for their match.

[Crazy.]

Both the world championship matches are random as *Censored* lmao, the backstory is literally "the challenger(s) just asked for a title shot and got it".  At least Miz/Morrison were tag champs recently, Lashley has been doing *Censored* all filler stuff for months.

[PaperThinWalls]

They’ve been pushing Lashley as a dominator who can have even greater success if he didn’t have such a poor manager. MVP shows up, tells him to get rid of Lana, hire him, and he’ll get him to the top prize. McIntyre is a fighting champion and so it makes sense that he would accept a guy like Lashely (who’s been winning in dominant fashion lately) challenging him. So I don’t agree that this match is random; it’s had a nice build.

[EJ!]

yeah Lashley has been beating piss out of people since Mania. plus this title shot has been a long time coming.

[AONO.]

yeah I don't mind these kibd of little builds. I've regular championship defenses for a while now lol

I didn't watch SD so this handicap is a big WTF for me... no Fiend?

[Motown Saint]

I get the feeling that The Fiend will interfere in the Universal Titie match.
