Watching the PPVs in a theater is fun. I wish they still did Saturdays. My wife gets up Monday at 4 AM so she isnât thrilled about going again lol Hey, I am seeing it in theaters, too. I did it for Revolution, I'm doing it for this one. Hell, I went to see Wrestlemania Night One in theaters, as well as Summerslam. Nothing like watching a live PPV on the big screen.

Surprised FTR aren't on the card considering how hot they are at the moment.

It kind of felt for a bit like they were angling to do Jurassic Express vs. FTR for this show then just kind of awkwardly moved away from it. Wonder if maybe they're either going to do that on TV or maybe have Starks and Hobbs win the belts so that FTR can win them from heels.

Christian needs a reason to turn heel soon and 2. Hobbs and Starks kinda rule together so they'd be great champs.

I'm very excited about the show, but I agree with others in the thread who have said they jam too many matches onto their PPV cards. There would have been nothing wrong with finding a way to get the Trios Match and the TBS Title match onto Dynamite this week in the lead-up to Double or Nothing.
I get that's taking a women's match off DoN, but 9 really good matches including pre-show feels like the right formula to me personally, especially because it's not like Anna/Jade is a particularly hot or anticipated match.

Not the greatest build to this PPV tbh. A lot of matches feel just there but super excited to see Hangman vs Punk & MJF get killed by Wardlow.

I think they're trying to load up on women's PPV matches here given next month will feature a PPV card of no women's matches (or maybe one at most if they can get someone from Stardom). I also think it's possible Kris or Shida were going to be in Anna's spot but things got shuffled around there so they figured Jade should get a PPV match so let's have her face someone we're building up long term who we know can work well with her.

Fair point, I admittedly forgot that Forbidden Door's likely going to be less centered on the women. I think there are probably just ways to make their weekly shows even more meaningful while not putting on 4-5 hr shows that burn out crowds.

I'd probably just compensate for the Forbidden Door issue by doing some kind of lady's night on Dynamite the week of the show. Be a good way to give them a spotlight, experiment with how ratings would do going super heavy with the division, and rest up the male side of the roster for the PPV itself.

I'm so confident in these predictions, I refuse to wait for the go-home week shows. Call me dolphins1925, or whoever the WWE Leaker on Reddit was!
Page Deeb - new champ Wardlow Team Taz - new champs (Christian makes an oops; JB is mad.) JAS (Bryan is kayfabe hurt early. Or Eddie and Bryan take each other out. As a fair 5-on-5, P&P + BCC cannot lose to a team with 2.0... no matter how big Matt's magic is.) Death Triangle (Please end this rivalry!) Young Bucks (ReDragon helps and puts Matt on shelf. Returns Broken this Fall?) Joe over Cole - men's Owen Stat over Storm - women's Owen
Buy-In: Hookhausen (No 'objection~!' from the lawyer here.) Jade

I do definitely think it's a two match show, but it is two matches that I am finding myself more and more pumped for. Few of the others will probably be very good - triple threat tag in particular - but a lot of this does narratively feel like a speedbump of a PPV, which you'd really think wouldn't be a thing when there are only four of them a year.

Will Tony actually have the gumption to give multiple matches less than ten minutes?

Apparently Meltzer's said that internally Sammy & Tay vs. Page or Scorpio & PVZ is listed for this show, so maybe they'll add that on Dynamite. ... I really, REALLY hope not.

If it means PVZ wrestles and they get this over with, I'm ok with it, but really I feel like it'd be a better idea to do it on Rampage It not being a Trios Match after all that feels really wonky though. Like you could have kept Scorpio a conflicted face and had them face Sammy and Tay, who aren't gonna get cheered at all, or had him cut out of this feud after the ladder match, feud with Kaz, and have Page and Paige do the team up to blow that off. I feel like Khan really spun himself out with this feud, no matter what, it just needs to end before or at DoN.

I feel like Khan really spun himself out with this feud, no matter what, it just needs to end before or at DoN. More than anything I just think this show feels overstuffed. Not that I have any interest in seeing that match whatsoever to begin with, but really adding anything right now is just going to get an immediate, "God, no, why?" from me, and I say that even though this card has a lot of really obvious weird omissions from it like Darby, reDRagon (well, probably), and FTR. Do kind of have to think that something is going to get shortchanged on time, like, a lot, and it feels like it's probably going to be the women's Owen. Though if I were having to keep something short on this show it'd probably be either 1), keeping the Bucks / Hardys short because the Hardys going the Bucks' usual 20 minutes sounds like an utter disaster, or 2), having Wardlow flat out squash MJF.
