Ryder getting TV time and Rusev is about to beat him before he wins the U.S. championship tonight.

 

Tonight's RAW post-show opened with Randy Orton being stretchered out due to the attack from Seth Rollins and The Authority at the end of RAW. As noted, Orton was being written off TV while he films The Condemned 2.




- As noted, John Cena was pulled from advertising for tonight's WWE RAW in Buffalo last week. It was announced at the start of tonight's event that refunds would be issued for the first 20 minutes due to Cena not being there.

 

Rusev V Sheamus was a good 20 minute odd minute match after raw.


I can see them doing that more and putting a match on the network.

 

Any more news on network

 

nothing there's no noise from anyone about this.

 

Sky have exclusivity on Raw and Smackdown but not PPVs.

I havent read anything, Raw worth watching. Cheers

 

* is going on

 

Only way a sky network could work here imo is if we still get the on demand content through wwe otherwise it'll be a bust and there won't be a network in any form anywhere at the rate it's hemorrhaging money

 

- It was reported that the WWE Network UK launch was delayed at the last minute due to negotiation issues with Sky. Sky has denied this on social media today. They are telling customers that it was WWE's decision to delay the launch and that the WWE Network is an independent service that they won't be providing. F4Wonline.com reports that WWE sources close to the situation insist that it was the ongoing talks with Sky that delayed the launch.

 

I guess we'll never no the true reason for the delay Sky will blame WWE, WWE will blame Sky the UK will never get the network now

 

I think I'm more likely to believe WWE in this instance. I mean, they're looking to get as much money as possible for the network, right? Why would they delay it? The only reason I can see is rights issues as far as TV goes in the UK, which means Sky.

 

thank * for YouTube you can watch stuff on that if we never get the network

 

So we all no Randy will return and join team Cena at Survivor Series before going on to feud with Rollins, I hate face Randy as well

 

Has sky got the rights for Ireland as well or just the UK?

The power is in the people not the people in power

 

if you have sky the yes they have the rights for Ireland

 

Apparently it's to do with them giving survivor series for free as the exclusive deal they have on ppv's runs out in Jan so sky blocked them

 

Didn't even see this on RAW last night :smiley-laughing002:

 

looks like Rey has left WWE according to F4W

 

Online rumours are Stephanie McMahon is pregnant if true Team cena will win at Survivor Series giving Steph the time off
