So, who is it going to be for WM? Cena or Kane?
The Undertaker's Return to WWE Announced, Could The Dead Man Be Appearing at Survivor Series?

Cena makes the most sense imo. That doesn't even need a buildup. UT in the same ring as him at WM would be huge.

The ending of that tag match with Ellsworth was brutally brilliant! That pop when he tagged in...

the fans were literally jumping up and down...

that was a 1998 Stone Cold Steve Austin level pop....

and SPLAT!

WWE's greatest troll job ever!

Although given how badly WWE has booked Bray, it wasn't hard to think they'd job him to Ellsworth. Making fans believe it was a lock to happen was what made it so brilliant.

Regardless of your leanings, this is funny

I heard he won that case by hitting Ted Cruz with a lead pipe

Taker gonna take Shane's spot on team SD?

 

[jeffro151]

Well that was a waste of time

 

[wildturkey]

Does anybody that isn't a fanboy even want Taker back on the SD roster? The dude is 50 years old and all kinds of busted up.

What I thought of whole show.

I'm not sure if I'm a fanboy but I'm definitely for a last run by the Undertaker as long as he feels healthy and he stays out of the ring except for major PPVs.
I just see it as one last run before he retires. I'd like to see him work with Corbin.

Really good PPV.
Alexa has been my favorite part of either Woman's division since the brandsplit. Glad her great work is being rewarded.
I liked the Heath/Ryhno storyline but it had run its course. Wyatts bring a ton of legitimacy to the tag division and the belts.

Miz and Ziggler delivered another strong match. That felt like the blowoff so I'm curious where they go from here.

Kalisto and Corbin was the best singles PPV match I remember either having in their main roster run. Both are needed for roster depth. They're bringing Corbin along perfectly.

The main event was a WWE match of the year canidate imo. There are a ton of great in ring performers in the WWE.. as many guy as I can remember capable of a show stealing match (Zayn, Rollins, Cena, Balor, Owens, Neville, Cesaro, Ziggler etc)... But at this point it's AJ in his own tier than all of those guys in another. His matches are must see every time out. He deserves his own show and he makes the roster split work.

 

[wildturkey]

I felt AJ was showing off a little too much. No need to be so cheeky.

 

[futballiscool]

The new RKO is amazing

Ellsworth screws Dean again.

I know he signed a deal with WWE but ii wonder what creative will come up with for Ellsworth after his storyline with Dean & AJ is over???

 

[Duffman]

Mickie James is back full-time:

Multiple WWE sources have confirmed that Mickie James has signed a multi-year deal with the company.

Currently, the plan is for James to appear on the Smackdown brand, likely debuting in January 2017.

The former WWE Women's champion returned to the company for the first time in six years at the WWE NXT Takeover event in Toronto, losing a great match to Asuka. From the second she arrived in Toronto, internally it was considered just a matter of time before the company locked her into a deal again.

James, 37, had a great run with WWE including a tremendous Wrestlemania 21 bout against Trish Stratus. Since leaving WWE, she has recorded a country album, began work on a second, married former TNA champion Nick "Magnus" Aldis, gave birth to their son and has worked consistently in TNA and around the world on independents, including Tommy Dreamer's House of Hardcore.

Looking forward to the 5 star matches from Ziggler and Styles.

How many stars do their matches drop if Elsworth gets involved? Oh, who am I kidding, WHEN Elsworth gets involved!!!

Smackdown had an old school Clash of Champions on TBS feel. Great show tonight
