Cyber Sunday is a much cooler name than Bragging Rights.Razor-Lazor

Up until last year when all the voting (except one or two matches) had to take place on cell phones.trick_man01

I'd like to see RVD wrestle Jerry Lynn on this PPV... like it was 1999.

And I'm pretty sure there's a better chance of that happening than there is of Edge wrestling on this PPV.

... RVD vs Lynn, that is. The chance that it will be 1999, somehow, is slightly less than Edge wrestling on this PPV.

sounds like a good concept, though the name is just horrible.lilhbk

Also with the Name being what it is, and that is the concept, then this should be lame.

[spoiler] The rumor I have heard is that there will be triple-treat matches on here, featuring a wrestler from each brand, and the winner of each match will have the "Bragging Rights" for their brand, hence the name of the PPV. [/spoiler] Link256

The WWE "Bragging Rights" PPV is scheduled for October 25th and will apparently be a RAW vs. SmackDown! themed event. The idea is which brand gets the "bragging rights" over the other.

The logo for the PPV will feature red and blue, mixing the colors for both RAW and SmackDown! together.

It's also likely that the elements from the Cyber Sunday PPV (fan voting, etc.) will be used within the PPV theme, as Bragging Rights replaces Cyber Sunday on the schedule.

They should do Champion vs. Champion vs. Champion again. That was kinda entertaining

I would really like if the PPV is a champion vs Champion match through out the ppv.

WWE vs Heavyweight vs ECW champion

Intercontinental vs US champion

Diva vs Womens champion.

I'd enjoy that, probably most of you would not.

Is it a good or a bad thing when WWE is getting sponsored on the Weather Channels "Local on the 8's", I was just wondering just cause I saw it today on there, for this PPV, when Hiac isn't till this Weekend.

Weird or Funny. :?

Was it this PPV that tipped you off, or was it every Smackdown vs Raw game, Wrestlemania, or the upcoming Hell in a Cell PPV?

Smackdown vs Raw 2010
...and Oh yeah...ECW is in there too.

BTW ECW was in 08,09 and featuring in 10. Plus they are always featured as "with ECW" on the game logo sometimes.

I could buy a Smackdown vs Raw (vs ECW) PPV, but I have a hard time believing WWE would have confidence in a show without having at least one World Title defended.

I'd love to see a WWE vs World vs ECW Champion match, assuming it'd be Cena vs Punk vs Christian. That could be a lot of fun, even though its unlikely SuperCena would lose, even though a win would do him far less good than it would for either Christian or Punk and he wouldn't have to be involved in the decision.

I can also see round 1 of Jerishow vs DX and that'd be a suitable main event level match, but I can't see WWE believing in a Tag match to sell PPVs, even with the starpower. They'd feel they'd need a WWE or World Title match. Maybe they'd do the silly "choose which title is on the line" (to maintain the Cyber Sunday link) which would actually slightly increase Punk's odds.

They had the fans vote which belt would be on the line in that Cena vs. Booker vs. Show match

I suspect The Miz wins tomorrow and goes on to face Morrison in a Champion vs. Champion match

WrestleZone originally reported several days ago that the theme for WWE's new "Bragging Rights" PPV will be Smackdown vs Raw. You can read our original report if you CLICK HERE.

In a second report, which you can read if you CLICK HERE, we reported that the show will feature an undercard of matches that will see the winners of each match take place in a a tag team main event which will be a Smackdown vs Raw bout.

It is now being reported that although WWE had toyed with the idea of making the PPV fan interactive, where the audience would vote on such things as matches and match stipulations, that idea seems to have been scrapped. "Bragging Rights" is replacing the "Cyber Sunday" PPV, which has a history of drawing a lower buyrate for WWE, so it seems as if the company no longer wants to go in the fan interactive direction.

Iron man match? That's going to be a lot of headlocks!

I am completely serious when I say this, I would love to see John Cena go to Smackdown. It is highly, highly unlikely that he will (no way they would send Batista over if Cena were on the way), but I would actually like to see it.

I still think of Cena as a Smackdown guy, because that was where he built up and that was probably, creatively, where he was at his best. Things didn't start to go wrong for Cena until he went to Raw (though, I think the chinks in the armor were beginning to show).

Maybe, just maybe, a change of scenery would be what the doctor ordered and the Smackdown writing team can figure out how to harness his talents. I mean, Jeff Hardy can barely string enough words together to make a complete sentance and they managed to make him the most popular wrestler in the WWE.

But its not happening. It just isn't.

I have a very strong feeling that Cena will go to Smackdown, and I base this entirely off the fact that no one in this union ever thought that Triple H would work on Tuesday nights.

Even if the WWE were willing to put Cena on SmackDown, I think it is safe to say the WWE is not going to pull a Matt Hardy.

I'm a little confused by this, please elaborate? The only thing that pops in my head is how Hardy was on all 3 brands.

And also, if I recall, Trips really didn't give the ratings much of a boost (he did probably help to keep the ratings fairly consistent).

I don't think it was entirely based on ratings. It opens up new storyline possibilities, and since Cena has feuded with EVERY top superstar on Raw right now multiple times, he needs something new. Punk, Undertaker, Jericho, Ziggler.

My point being no way in hell WWE is going to make Cena look THAT weak. Rightfully so, I might add. If anyone should be protected, it should be Cena. If Cena were to go to SmackDown, it would be on HIS own terms. If anything, I sooner see Cena winning the match, and going to SmackDown regardless, than I see Cena being Matt Hardyed.

WWE may be dumb, but they are not THAT dumb.

Oh Laudy is that Cena vs. Orton for 60 minutes?

Wow.

Of course Cena won't be buried on Smackdown. He will bury everybody that had a chance of being in the Title Picture. Can anyone believe that John Morrison was in that picture just mere months ago? I won't say Batista killed Smackdown. The Undertaker did.

The new picture on the first page. Orton looks remarkably like Cena.

Does anyone remember the time when Orton/Cena was a match that the majority of people couldn't wait to see...

I highly doubt that Cena-Orton will be a 60 minute Ironman match. Far more likely that it'll be 30.

I am going nuts over the Cena/Orton Ironman match.  :D

Bragging Rights Update:

World Heavyweight Championship
The Undertaker (c) vs. CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Batista

Well, this match could go many different ways. Let me go over each of the competitors.

The Undertaker: The champion going into the match. 'Taker winning wouldn't be too surprising, simply because he is the current champion. However, Fatal-Four-Way is a sneaky way to have someone lose the title without getting pinned, therefore saving face. Either way, I expect The Deadman to reign victorious in this one. He is my first choice to win.

CM Punk: Since they ended his reign, and major push, so quickly, I also would not be surprised if Punk takes the title back. One theory I had about Punk VS. Taker in Hell in a Cell was that they couldn't think of a way for 'Taker to lose, so they just gave him the title with plans to take it off of him at the next PPV. However, right now, Punk is my third choice.

Rey Mysterio: Honestly, the only person in this match who has no chance in hell of winning. Fourth choice.

Batista: As tacky as it would be to give Batista the title so quickly, I wouldn't be surprised if WWE gave it to him here. As sad as it is, don't count out Batista, as he has a good chance of winning this match, in my opinion. Second choice.
