Finn Balor screwing Brock is another rumour I saw mentioned elsewhere actually. Doubt that's at all likely quite honestly, but it would make for a cool Demon vs the Beast narrative.

I'd mark out but Austin surely can't wrestle again?
Solomonster seems to think Austin's neck is fine these days (apparently Austin himself has confirmed this), it's just a case of him being motivated to get back in the ring again. So who knows?

Imagine if that happens though... Cena vs Austin, Taker vs Sting, Rock vs HHH (which they've hinted at a lot) on one show. Would be insane.

Plus maybe Shield triple threat for the title? Lesnar vs Orton? There are so many potentially amazing matches for them to put together for wm32,and according to Solomonster, a supercard like that is the only way they'll sell out completely.

Yeah and Austin said on his podcast that he only wants to come back if he's sure he'll be able to put on a great match. He just doesn't want to disappoint everyone with an unnecessary and mediocre money grab.

Does anyone else feel that open air Mania's have less atmosphere than indoor arenas? Never understood this "Omg we need to fill out Cowboys Stadium" line of thinking regarding Mania.

Cena actually said the word. ITSTL.

Call up the interweb, sounds impossible, but tell em they're about to hate me sixteen times more than they already do.

Yeah, loads of amazing potential combinations for great cards really. If we were to tweak that a bit and have Taker v Cena and Austin v Lesnar that's still a massive draw, and that's before you find something to do with Sting.

It's a strange one. I've got used to it these days. But at the same time, whilst it doesn't bother me at all that the undercard matches often now happen in broad daylight, I think it kind of does damage the atmosphere a bit when you are about 1-2hrs into the show and the sun is still out.

Sting's entrance last year for instance, lost so much because it was in broad daylight. Sun was barely down for when the Undertaker came out also.

Anyway, may as well get my predictions for Summerslam out now.

Ziggler vs Rusev - The best bits of this entire angle have been the ones where Ziggler was entirely absent. I really don't care about this match, but would probably prefer if Rusev won. Doubt he will though. Ziggler here.

Orton v Sheamus - Don't care one jot about this one either. Seen this match so many times already, and it's always meh at best. Sheamus needs the win here though, so I'll go for him. Not that it matters at all.

Tag Team Title Match - Will go for New Day here. About time they got the straps back.

Womens Tag Match - Not sure about this one, could really go any way. Hopefully one of the NXT women will get the win though. Will go for Team BAD.

Steven Armell/Neville v Stardust/Barrett - This has "faces win" written all over it. Barrett to eat the pin because that's all he ever does these days.

Ryback vs Big Show vs Miz - Ryback to retain the IC title and to look strong in doing so.

Owens vs Cesaro - Tough call, but I'll go with Owens. Bloke has lost repeatedly in recent weeks and could do with a win here.

Cena vs Rollins - Desperately hope Rollins wins this one, but am feeling decidedly apprehensive. Will go for Rollins.

Taker vs Lesnar - Lots of people seem to think that Lesnar winning is a deadset guarantee, and I just don't see it myself. Going to go out on a limb and go for Undertaker.

Blimey, having gone through all that, that really is a lot of matches, even for a 4 hour event. Maybe some will be relegated to the pre-show.

Oops, forgot one.

Dean and Roman vs Wyatt Family - Wyatt Family to win this one, and Dean to turn on Roman.

Haven't had the net at home since moving out. Catching up on last weeks raw. Amazing how much better a mood this puts me in. Loved the SAWFT sign in the crowd.

Rollins has been on fire with the mic lately, really coming into his own as champion since ditching J & J and Kane. Hoping corporate Kane is gone and super heel masked Kane comes back for one last run.

Oh holy ****. When Rusevs flag unfurled from the ceiling with his face on it. Genuine lol moment. Loving Rusev at the moment.
