"After defeating Nia Jax at Extreme Rules,[7] Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss said she had beaten every women on the Raw roster."

'every women' ? Surely that should be 'every woman' or 'all the women.' 173.160.130.14 (talk) 19:29, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Constable" Corbin

@TheBigBoss3900: You are close to violating the WP:3RR. It is recommended that you resolve the issue here before reverting again and getting blocked. JTP ^{(talk • contribs)} 01:17, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Baron Corbin's ring name is "Constable" Baron Corbin because JoJo the ring announcer on Raw calls him "Constable" Baron Corbin. TheBigBoss3900 (talk) 01:17, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@TheBigBoss3900: That is the equivalent to "The Viper" Randy Orton, but The Viper is not apart of his ring name. Can you provide a reliable source? JTP ^{(talk • contribs)} 01:26, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll see what I can do TheBigBoss3900 (talk) 01:56, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Actually "Constable" is not BC's ring name at all. It is his recent management position and he insists on being introduced with it. But actually he also insists on being introduced as "Constable personally appointed by Stephanie MacMahon". Is that part of his ring name too. Is "WWE World Champion" part of AJ Styles's.

SummerSlam Kickoff Matches

The SummerSlam Kickoff Matches should be on top of the main card matches 73.100.111.128 (talk) 04:33, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not until the event starts, see WP:PW/SG#Results. JTP ^{(talk • contribs)} 05:22, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Universal Championship match

The match is happening because Lesnar had previously refused to defend the title, so Angle gave him the ultimatum that he would strip him of the title if he did not agree to defend it. The "tournament" was done to determine his opponent, but is not the "why" for why the match is happening. --JDC808 ♫ 21:43, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That is completely unrelated. We don't need to go into week by week of what is happening in the WWE at the time. The fact that he didn't want a match is meaningless. Nothing about the match itself started until the #1 contender matches were announced. We don't go into how Carmela didn't want to wrestle Becky. The point is to discuss the storylines of the matches, including the Brock didn't want it adds nothing to the match. - Galatz גאליץ ^{שיחה Talk} 21:47, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is not unrelated. It is exactly why the match is happening. The match was agreed upon BEFORE the #1 contenders matches were even announced. Heyman (on Lesnar's behalf) agreed to a SummerSlam match so that Lesnar would not be stripped of the title, THEN the #1 contender matches were scheduled. How you don't see the connection here baffles me. --JDC808 ♫ 21:56, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't say there wasn't a connection. Everything is connected, but it's irrelevant to the match. Just because it's something that happened, it doesn't mean it needs to be included. It's useless trivia that adds nothing to the storyline itself - Galatz גאליץ ^{שיחה Talk} 02:45, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How is it irrelevant when it was THE reason the match happened? And it was part of the storyline. --JDC808 ♫ 17:52, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, the reason the match happened is because there was a tournament. There was a tournament because of that. There was that story line because he won in April and there was no where to be seen for months. He defended in Saudi because he won at WM. See I can connect dots too. Just because it can be done, doesn't mean it needs to be included. You are adding way too much useless level of details. - Galatz גאליץ ^{שיחה Talk} 20:06, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's not "useless detail" when it is THE reason the match was happening. Holy crap, this is not rocket science. The tournament happened to DETERMINE Lesnar's opponent. The match happened because he was given an ultimatum: defend it or be stripped of it. --JDC808 ♫ 17:51, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No the match didn't happen because of that. Just being told to defend it would not magically make a match happen, there needs to be something in between. There is no need to go 2 steps back like that. Its obvious that he is defending the title at SummerSlam by the fact that the match happened. - Galatz גאליץ ^{שיחה Talk} 21:55, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

SMDH. Yes, that was the reason. In storyline, had Brock not been given that ultimatum, we may have had another refusal to defend like he did prior to Extreme Rules. It's not going two steps back. It's starting from point A (being given the ultimatum) to point B (determining the opponent) to point C (anything substantial between then and SummerSlam). Your version here is starting at point B. --JDC808 ♫ 18:42, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Throughout the history of PW there were 30 day mandatory defense clauses and they were worked into storylines countless times. Do you have another example of when that was used to say why a match occurred? Nia said she had one at Money in the Bank (2018) but its not mentioned there. - Galatz גאליץ ^{שיחה Talk} 18:59, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone please change the Universal Championship Match back to Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns. Some vandal has changed it to John Cena? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.232.149.143 (talk) 07:01, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kickoff Matches should be on the top

I Am Not going to say this again The Kickoff Matches should be on top of the main card. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.100.111.128 (talk) 05:10, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
