As noted, stars shown at ringside tonight for WWE NXT "Takeover: Philadelphia" were War Machine, Maria Menounos, Trevor "Ricochet" Mann and Ethan Carter III.

WWE has confirmed that the former Derrick Bateman has been signed. The former TNA World Heavyweight Champion will continue using the EC3 name as he owns the rights.


Oh my Godddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

Why would they allow him to use EC3 name when people knows it means CARTER AKA DIXIE CARTER? lol..

He owns the rights to the name, and WWE will obviously not call him Ethan Carter the third, just EC3. ( that could mean anything )

Royal Rumble 2018 predictions

Men's Royal Rumble
1st pick - Shinsuke Nakamura
2nd Pick - Dolph Ziggler
Who I want to win? anyone but shinsuke tbh

Women's Royal Rumble
If the womens rumble is the main event, Ronda Rousey will win if its not the main event, asuka will win
Official pick....Asuka I guess
I want Rousey to win though (or wanted Paige before she "retire")

Universal Championship -- Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Braun Strowman vs. Kane:
Lesnar is winning this, he's gonna pin Kane obviously after Strowman look strong and get pitched outside the ring or something
Don't care for this match and don't care who wins

WWE Championship -- AJ Styles (c) vs. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn (Handicap Match)
Another match I got 0 care for...AJ Styles is gonna win though....prob gonna cheat to win or shane will get involved

Raw Tag Team Championship -- Seth Rollins & Jason Jordan (c) vs. The Bar
Rollins and Jordan will win
I like this team...they're good imo and I like the new jordan (where hes not trying to be a badass but just acts like an immature funny innocent young brother to seth)

SmackDown Tag Team Championship -- The Usos (c) vs. Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin (2-of-3 Falls Match)
Picking gable and shelton cuz uso got arrested, prob their punishement like roman losing the ic title for getting steroid exposed

United States Championship -- Bobby Roode (c) vs. TBA (Kickoff Show):
Why is this on the kickoff? more interesting than half the matches on the main card kinda ++ surprise opponent
Probably ziggler tho.......might lose and then enter rumble and win it if shinsuke doesnt

Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson vs. The Revival (Kickoff Show)
Don't care but will pick gallows and anderssen cuz revival burried and the club got associated with balor on raw~ (which they did 2 sweet with DX) <



Only really care for the 2 rumble matches..

Wouldn't even be surprised if Dixie came with him in a managerial role. I mean, she was in the Angle special. So she could be here, too.



In an update on Bobby Lashley and WWE, Lashley is reportedly no longer negotiating with NJPW and there are people within NJPW and Impact Wrestling that believe Lashley is heading back to WWE. There is also talk about Lashley working with Brock Lesnar after WrestleMania. Even though Lesnar’s contract expires in April, WWE could have it extended through August which would give WWE the opportunity to promote a Lesnar vs. Lashley match.

Omfg yes please.

Whyyy....I’m tired of Lesnar and never really liked Lashley.

Lesnar is boring but Lashley has always been a stud. Lesnar needs someone like Lashey to push him.

Even have Heyman turn on Lesnar to join Lashey.

this lashley talk reminds me of the batista talk last time b4 he came back everyone was so hype but when he actually got there it was a flop

ofc they pushed batista when it was bryan year
which caused the fans to turn on batista

on another note, they are going full broken with matt
