There might be no authority when he comes back... Cena needs to start gearing up for Lesnar though I keep hearing Lesnar won't be around till Rumble so idk maybe your right.

Sheamus & Zigs aren't turning heel, WWE is so sorely missing top baby faces right now especially after Ambrose seems to be sizzling out.

Wwe is stuck in this rut until reigns returns and squashes Rollins and then we could see some hat changes.

I can agree they need top babyfaces, which is the reason Ryback is back to ''FEED ME MORE'', however, i can almost bet my money that Sheamus will be turning heel either by the very end of this year or around the start or mid next year. I'm pretty sure Ambrose impressed WWE enough for them to be like ''hmmm maybe we can pick him as the face instead''.

Reigns..well...he says he wants to expand his skills and claims he can get ''very technical''.

I cant see him as a technical guy, but i'm willing to be surprised. Him being more well rounded cant be a bad thing.

Of course! If Roman Reigns is gonna be the face no matter what, gotta make him well versed in the ring. Even WWE don't want to make another mistake like JC.

Cena's fine in the ring.

The latest breakdown of television viewers for RAW, SmackDown and Total Divas is as follows.

- The average viewer is 41.4 years old, meaning viewership is getting older, not younger.

- The audience is 63 percent male, however Total Divas skews that number, as it would be closer to 68 percent for RAW and SmackDown.

- The viewership is 19 percent under the age of 17, 22 percent between 18 and 34, 22 percent between 35 and 49 and 37 percent over the age of 50.

I agree with this mostly but, i also think this all goes in cycles.
If we start looking at wrestling since the advent of television (50s), its fairly easy to see the fanbase ebb and flow.
Hell, just youtube comparable matches from every decade and look at the audiences.
Things will swing back around.

Idk about that, it's been a pretty solid curve with WWE losing 8 million fans in about 20 years. Honestly a good raw is lucky to break 3.0 ratings. WWE has been a joke lately because they are so busy trying to come up with lies to put in documentarys on the network that they have completely abandoned the current product.

On a more positive note the first episode of Lucha Underground looks good

The article wasnt about ratings, it was about demographics.
Still, good rant. I can relate!

No doubt, i'm just saying WWE doesn't want Reigns to be treated like another Cena by the fans.

Well, the IWC already treats him as Samoan Cena. They wouldnt be pleased if he came back wrestling like Malenko.

If WWE builds reigns without going insane on a Cena push he has a chance of getting over but I still say Ziggler has the better Story if the company got behind him

I dont think it'll matter.
Reigns is custom built to be hated.

I do hope Ziggler breaks the glass ceiling though.

We all hope Ziggler can be the man 🙂

Reigns....well...even a nice amount of people in the IWC likes Reigns. I think he can pull this off.......we just need to...believe that 😉

Reigns was made to be a monster heel, monster face Cena has soured a lot of people on that kinda wrestler so just like Hogan gave way to Bret and Shawn if WWE wants to get the fans back they need technical guys to rebuild all levels of the company so that when its time for a monster face it means something because Cena's extended stay has buried the entire roster.

So if Reigns isnt the monster face, who is?

You don't have one for 4-6 years and you rebuild the ranks.

Just look at this

Bruno Monster face
Backland technical guy
Hogan Monster Face
Bret Hart Technical guy
Stone Cold Monster face
02-06 technical Mastery
06- monster cena

It's times like this...that i just love listening to Pym 😂

The evidence is there...but it sounds just sound so wrong for some reason.

Haha, no that makes great sense.
Going by that, it should be Ziggler's time...

Here is WWE's main problem

If Cena was done, came out and retired who on the roster would you put in the main event vs a Rock or Austin if they come back for a wrestlemania.

Wwe has no star power because 10 years of one guy devalueing everyone else.

Just saw Lucha Underground ep 2

Mundo & Puma look awesome but every other competitor I found lacking
Big Rick cut an ok promo
Striker & Vampiro are solid on commentary
Not sold on sexy star yet but she is growing on me

6.5/10
