8:00 Eastern, 7:00 Central, 5:00 Pacific

Where: Ricoh Coliseum
Toronto, Ontario, Canada

WrestleZone Forums is proud to be holding an LD tonight for WWE Roadblock, but we're going to think of it as WrestleMania with a main event we actually want to see. We have a stacked card and a rare broadcast from Toronto for us here this evening. The card is as follows.

Both the WWE and NXT Tag Team Championships will be on the line. The Revival will defend their titles against a very vengeful Enzo Amore and Big Cass, which should be a very good match and the crowd will most definitely be hot for this one.

We may not like it or be looking forward to this match, but The New Day will defend their Tag Team Championships against Sheamus and King Barrett, who have great chemistry together.

Simply put, The Beast is hungry. And on his plate tonight, Bray Wyatt. The man who was supposed to be feuding with Lesnar going into WrestleMania and is responsible for taking him out of the Royal Rumble, therefore costing a shot at the main event of WrestleMania. Tonight he will be looking for revenge.

...and our main event...

We are only three weeks away from WrestleMania, and the main event may not yet be set in stone.

Dean Ambrose can cause that rift in the main event if he can win the WWE World Heavyweight title from Triple H tonight. One victory can turn what began as a one-on-one showdown between Triple H and Roman Reigns into a potential Fatal Four Way, thus combining the two matches scheduled for WrestleMania into a HHH/Reigns/Ambrose/Lesnar street fight.

Here's to a good show.

I'll be here to hopefully see Ambrose turn Wrestlemania on its head. Though I still really want Brock vs Ambrose 1 on 1.

Yes, very much so. Looking for the mania main event to become a fatal four way on Raw tomorrow.

 

[BringThePain834]

I expect bonus matches to be added

 

[Logisticalbooker86]

I think Roadblock is going to be a decent live special, where the people who decided to watch will get their 9.99$'s worth.

That being said, I am laughing my ass off that some people actually think HHH won the strap at the Rumble to drop it at a glorified house show in Canada three weeks before Wrestlemania.

I hope I'm wrong.

But I'm not.

 

[Bagpipes]

Wishful thinking: Reigns returns to interfere, costing Ambrose the match, turning heel and giving some justification to the established title match at Mania.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

Some guy on reddit said they announced three filler matches. Jericho vs. Stardust, Sami vs. Swagger, and R-Truth vs. Viktor.

 

[BringThePain834]

Well there does need to be filler matches.

It seems crazy, but there are very legitimate reasons to do the title change.

Making Ambrose champ would likely set up a four-way at Mania, which would bail them out of a disastrous main event in terms of fan reception. If Roman is destined to walk out as champ, at least the fans can have Dean and Brock to rally behind instead of Triple H by default.

Changing the belt would also bring more intrigue to Mania and get people talking, something they need since they're desperately trying to hit that 100,000 attendance record.

Dean as world champion could also lead to a Reigns heel turn. He could simply be pissed about Dean taking away his revenge i.e. stripping HHH of the title. He could begin his turn in the weeks to Mania, then cement it in the main event and walk out champion to boos that are actually desired and appropriate.

Triple H retaining (probably due to a Brock run-in) is the likely scenario on paper, but it's not as guaranteed as you think and arguably the worse move compared to the other possibilities.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Sami Zayn versus Jack Swagger is one of NXT's hidden gems, though I expect tonight's encounter will be meaningless.

You guys are just lucky my 3DS is low on battery - I just bought Pokemon Yellow.

Oh shit, Sam will be here? I may have to stick around.

 

[L@RISANO]

Here we go!
Will Dean Ambrose prove to be an actual Roadblock for the Game, or will he be a mere 'speed bump'?
Stay tuned.

Spoiler

This just in. Chaos in the locker room 15-20 minutes ago. An argument which is unknown what it was about, shoving and then fight that involved Big Cass and Brock Lesnar. Lesnar threw Cass to the floor and hit him in the face several times before being pulled off. Cass then tried to throw punches only to be taken down again and punched another four times. No word on how this is going to affect the card.

 

[J-Dogg]

Canada will shit on Roman but will pop for Sami it's simple it's Canadian fans

 

[Sean Valjean]

I thought they were playing Balor's theme at first.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

Kick off the show with the best option possible.

Seems like BS to me. Why would someone not yet on the Main Roster possibly damage their chances so stupidly when on the cusp of call-up?

 

[J-Dogg]

New day oh yeah

 

[Sean Valjean]

Kind of sad that the only time we get different stage sets are for televised house shows and Wrestlemania.

 

[J-Dogg]

If the nation wins I'll be pissed because the nation have no potential

 

[Nate DaMac]

After watching Ride Along and Table for 3, my love for The New Day is at an all time high.

 

[Uncle Sam]

WWE could take me eating a yogurt and make it must-see with a video package.

 

[BaconBits]

So I'm watching and talking to you jerks instead of out drinking green beers and laughing at millennial dipshits who don't know how to drink.

 

[J-Dogg]

Put them in the HOF now dammit lol
