Why the F*** is Cena beating Kane down, while Bryan is scared of him?

Seth turning heel seemed like a dumb swerve, he is a natural face and Abrose is easily The the most in need of turning heel, but I guess Reigns needs a mouthpiece.

Uso vs Wyatt family looks to be good aslong as Cena stays away from it.

WWE is currently missing Top stars with only two months till Summer slam, Wyatt could have been the guy to beat Cena and had him instead of Kane get handed the title. He did beat Bryan before wrestlemania so him being #1 contender makes sence.

Then you have Reigns win MITB setting up a huge SS main event with Ambrose screwing Reigns over. Reigns beats Ambrose up after so everyone is protected and you build up Wyatt vs a returning Bryan for Survivors Series and you can keep that until Wrestlemania.

Booking is easy if your not an Idiot.

Not sure I agree with you. Well, I do on the Cena parts. He's pushed so hard it's ridiculous.

For the Shield, I think Rollins was the right choice, and the most unexpected one. Ambrose is going to be huge as a heel when they eventually give him a singles run. His promos, his ability to adapt, and his ring psychology are all ****ing amazing. He doesn't need to be in a stable.

Reigns is being pushed regardless of what happens. The dude has the look, the strength and the big moves to get him even more over. He just needs to refine his technique.

Now, I'm not saying Rollins isn't bad. He's not. He's a great high-flyer, a great seller, and he's comfortable on the mic. His match with Ziggler was PPV quality. Reigns wasn't going to be the new Batista, and Ambrose doesn't work playing second fiddle to Trips, imo.

Rollins is the better choice for the time-being, I think.

Good summation on Rollins getting chosen.

I'm interested to see where the title picture goes if Bryan isnt able to compete. This MitB could be historic.

Thanks.

Sad for Bryan too. He finally gets given the belt, and through no fault of his own, gets injured. I just hope he doesn't get mega buried the way Ziggler did after his concussion.

Also going back to what Pym said about them missing stars; tbh, I'm not sure I completely agree either, at least in the sense that I think they have stars ready to be handed the ball and told to carry it.

Ziggler is awesome. Seriously. If he only sold his own offense a bit better, he could be the next big star.
Cody Rhodes could be put in a title match tomorrow and look right at home.
Sandow is an amazing talker, and as his matches with Cena and Cody have shown, he's solid in the ring too. Not spectacular, but great psychology, and can tell a story as well as anyone.
Rollins or Ambrose could fill the slot.
Bray Wyatt has come a long way this last while, but he needs to be kept away from Cena imo.
Sheamus is over enough with the kids, that he could be one of the higher-ups again.
Cesaro. ****ing Cesaro. The man can put on a good match with ANYONE.
Miz came back at a house-show recently from filming the Marine. He may be hated, but the dude can hold a main event when he isn't being buried by Cena, and he has put in a hell of a lot of work on his ring technique.

I still think uniting the belts hurt the card, all things considered. Guys like Del Rio, Big Show, Ziggler and Sheamus all had solid feuds with that belt, and I think it hurts the program with them not being able to get more attention. Sheamus really shouldn't be US champion either.

These guys just need a chance. The ones that got it, deserve to still be in the picture. The ones that haven't, deserve it now.

I mostly agree with that.
WWE seems afraid to take big chances IMO. Never mind that big chances are what got the top guys where they are to begin with.

Two belts really was a better deal, especially with So many stars JUST at the cusp of main eventing. The WWE title was the big one, we all knew that. But the World title was prestigious in itself. Its the belt you gave the work horse champions, if not the name brand ones.

Look no further than the IC and US titles now that Barrett and Sheamus (who is one of those work horses, and deserves a belt IMO) have gotten hold of them.
This is what two equally great belts can generate; fan appreciation and great singles/triple threat/ champion Vs champion matches, with challengers going back and forth threatening both title holders. In short, good story relling.

Yeah, they've really stepped it up recently. Maybe they were annoyed at Big E, who can talk, having trouble with the script, and Ambrose who was always too busy with the Shield to defend his title.

We get real title matches now, and that can only be a good thing.

Truth!

Just read about 1/2 hour ago, Bryan's injury is legit not healing well. The belt(s) may actually be decided by the main match at the next PPV.
With only Del Rio qualified so far, this seems a sticky situation for the bookers.
Do they put all the viable champs in one match or rely on a dark horse to potentially get the gold?

I expect to see either Cena or Orton in the match, and one of them should win it. I'd be amazed if it was someone like Cesaro or Wyatt or something.

That would be pretty shocking, yeah.
I feel bad for Bryan, but this sucks for WWE too.

I agree with the Seth Rollins angle. It's going to be quite interesting how Ambrose and Reigns respond to this.

I am pretty upset about Ziggler. This guy is getting squashed like no tomorrow, and I am not sure what you guys think, but it looks as if Kofi Kingston is riding the Jobbertrain as well.

What the hell is going on with Sandow? I actually hate to watch him. Ever since losing to a one armed Cena, it's getting quite hard to watch his recent gimmicks.

I agree with Bryan. It really sucks what happened to him. I really fear in what PR stated with Cena/Orton. If Orton somehow grabs the title, I won't be too enthused, but I could handle it but if Cena wins it, I might stop watching for awhile.

Does everyone honestly think, Bray's character can recover after being fed to the Superone? many fans think he can still main event..I just hope as PR stated, he can get far away from Cena as possible.

I do want to see more of Paige 😉 though she hasn't been on Television after the PPV. Anyone know what's going on?

Cody is stuck in a fued with Goldie in which he is the losing party, he needs to finish that first.

Sandow is dead in the water, he is gonna need a lot to reach his potential.

the shield are stuck in a fued, same with Orton.

cesaro is probably gonna be part of a fatal four way to unifiy the midcard titles.

Miz is this generations X-Pac.

In other news, what do you think of bringing back the red belt, aka the light-heavyweight championship? I feel like if it is treated with respect it could be seen as a near parallel to the WWE World heavyweight championship and would allow some amazing matches that can go 15+ minutes.

Not sure how i feel about another belt, until things get more settled with the existing ones.

So, its official now, the ladder match will be for the championship.
And Randy Orton just gets given a slot. Bleh.

I gotta say that pic of him on vacation was hilarious, it was old school cool.

I loved Ambrose's promo on what he was going to do, when he gets his hands on Rollins..epic. The detail on the rearranging of Seth's nose was awesome 🤘

So, no love for a cruiser weight division? What about a Mini's division to take the divas filler spots and move the Ladies to a second match spot?

Also WTF is up with JBL? Is he a heel or what? He sucks up to the authority & most heel acts but also blows Cena every time he comes out WTF? Is this a conspiracy or something?

Also F U C K who ever thought ADR should take Ziggler's spot in MITB, and also a shout out to Gatorade. I love the new Lime Cucumber flavor.

That Ambrose bit cracked me up. Didnt know where he was going with it for a moment, but then just couldnt help
Laughing!
