BODY WAS TOO LONG EDITION

NXT Champion Aleister Black vs. Lars Sullivan

>With one swift and remarkably powerful kick, Aleister Black flattened every Superstar to cross his path on the way to becoming NXT Champion at TakeOver: New Orleans. Black’s nascent title reign, however, will be in jeopardy at TakeOver: Chicago when he defends the crown against a mammoth who is unlike anyone else he has faced, Lars Sullivan.

>Sullivan made that exact, thunderous point when he ambushed the champion on the May 30 edition of NXT. As Black tried to fight off Sullivan, The Dutch Destroyer uncorked his great equalizer, the Black Mass spinning heel kick. Proving to be every bit as quick as he is powerful, Sullivan shockingly caught Black’s strike before dropping him with the Freak Accident.

>The stunning scene was a rare example of Black being unable to decimate a foe with his signature move, and it sowed doubt that The Dutch Destroyer will have any better success against Sullivan when they clash for the title in The Windy City. What's more, Sullivan wrecked Black again on the June 13 edition of NXT, trouncing the champion with three emphatic Freak Accidents during a harrowing confrontation.

>Has The Freak — who prides himself on being not only a physically intense juggernaut, but also a thinking-man’s competitor inside the ring — cracked the code of Black? Or will the equally dominant Dutch Destroyer find a way to drop the behemoth — with or without Black Mass — en route to retaining NXT’s top crown?

>Don’t miss this collision between two of the black-and-yellow brand’s most feared Superstars when it goes down at NXT TakeOver: Chicago, streaming live tonight on WWE Network at 8 ET/5 PT!

Johnny Gargano vs. Tommaso Ciampa (Chicago Street Fight)

>Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa’s battles have rarely been contained by the ring, but that won’t be a concern at NXT TakeOver: Chicago — the site of #DIY’s unforgettable implosion — when the two bitter rivals square off in a Chicago Street Fight.

WWE Raw preview, June 11, 2018: Roman Reigns accepts Jinder Mahal's challenge

Live on Raw, Roman Reigns will accept Jinder Mahal’s challenge and the Team Red competitors in the Men’s and Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Matches will compete in Fatal 4-Way bouts to gain key momentum. Plus, Ronda Rousey and Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax will meet face-to-face!

>Strowman, Bálor, Roode and Owens collide

One week after Braun Strowman defeated Bobby Roode and Finn Bálor hit Kevin Owens with a breathtaking Coup de Grâce off a ladder, all four Superstars will meet in a Fatal 4-Way Match to seize momentum before the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

This confrontation will surely give the WWE Universe a taste of the mayhem that awaits when these four competitors face SmackDown LIVE’s The Miz, Samoa Joe, Rusev and a member of The New Day in a bout where a World Championship opportunity literally hangs in the balance.

<Will Natalya and Alexa Bliss be able to compete in a Fatal 4-Way Match?

On the same night Natalya suffered a knee injury during her bout against Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax, Alexa Bliss also seemed to suffer a leg injury during the night’s Six-Woman Tag Team Match.

Few details have been released regarding the condition of either The Queen of Harts or Little Miss Bliss, but both Superstars are nevertheless set to battle Sasha Banks and Ember Moon in a Fatal 4-Way Match on Raw. Who will prevail before all four women face Team Blue’s Naomi, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Lana in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match?

<Ronda Rousey and Nia Jax meet face-to-face before their title clash

Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax’s challenge to Ronda Rousey at the NBCUniversal Upfront last month was amicable enough. Since then, however, things have gotten downright tense between them, thanks in no small part to the pot-stirring machinations of Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon during their WWE Money in the Bank contract signing.

Low effort OP with the show story just linked because fuck it. At this point, if the thread ends up with less than 100 replies by the time 205 finishes, I think the weekly show threads are going to turn into multi-week generals that last til posting limit, because it's really not worth making a new one each time with the show having fallen so far as to make everyone lose interest.

205 is slower with posting updates so no show preview until later.

We all know it was you again Sullivan

>Police were called to a home in West Goshen, PA this morning just after 6:30 am where authorities found 2 people dead and have confirmed it is being investigated as a murder-suicide. There was reportedly a shooting and police were called.

>The local affiliates in Philadelphia are reporting that a husband and wife were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide on their Chester County home on Friday morning. Local authorities were called to the house at Isabel Lane and North Five Points Road, around 6:30 a.m to make the discovery. Their names were not included in the news reports but we have confirmed through his friends that, unfortunately, the dead bodies are of Rebel and his wife.

>Rockin Rebel might be remembered for his time in early ECW. This is really a sad story and some people in the pro wrestling community are already sending their condolences to the family.

Mostly good shit this time around although the prevalence of VOD shows does not give me hope for good quality video. Ishimori is probably winning? Maybe ospreay just to really push him to the moon.

Another Lifeless RAW Edition

The Monster Among Men faces The Snorious One

> As Bobby Roode learned when he absorbed an unexpected beatdown from Braun Strowman this past Monday night, it will be every man for himself in the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, where eight Superstars from Raw and SmackDown LIVE collide for a chance to earn a World Championship opportunity at the time and place of their choosing.

>But that’s WWE Money in the Bank. Monday on Raw, The Glorious One will stand across the ring from the goliath who calls himself “Monster Money in the Bank.” Who came up with that, jesus christ Can Roode leave Houston unscathed?

Former Universal Champions lock up

> Speaking of the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, two other competitors in that high-stakes contest will be in action when Finn "Just happy to be here" Bálor takes on Kevin Owens.

>Owens inserted himself into this past Monday’s match pitting Bálor against Braun Strowman, and WWE’s first Universal Champion seemed primed to defeat The Monster Among Men until KO intervened and caused a disqualification. Retribution will surely be on the Irishman’s mind when he squares off against his bitter foe on Raw.

Natalya stands up to Nia Jax

>This past Monday night, Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax toyed with a local competitor to show Ronda Rousey the torment that awaits her in their title bout at WWE Money in the Bank, and when The Baddest Woman on the Planet confronted The Irresistible Force, Jax simply laughed in Rousey’s face and walked away — clearly unconvinced that the UFC veteran represents a true challenge in a WWE ring.

>After witnessing Nia’s disrespect toward her longtime friend and training partner, Natalya will lock up with the cocky champion on Raw in Houston.

Wew, lads… someone's gonna get stoned for this one.

>Get ready for something

>That you've never known

You've never seen anything like this before, and when you do it'll be a complete surprise to you

>You won't see it coming

>But I promise you'll know

Basically, you don't know yet but you WILL know if you're unfortunate enough to encounter him.

Even when I was 9 that's how I took his lyrics to mean. If anything the stupidest part is the "won't see it coming" line. Yeah, because no-one can see a 7ft 500lb bald dude in a loin cloth hurtling towards them.
