Doesn't really make sense for him to debut on Raw this week unless he's part of the BC stable and not the leader, think him and the crew turning on AJ at Payback makes the most sense. Keeps AJ looking good in the loss.

 

Whether Balor debuts or not, Anderson and Gallows are interfering in the main event, pretty sure that's a given.

The real question is do they beat down Styles, Reigns, or both?

 

both

 

i dont see the point of getting reigns involved further in a bullet club/styles feud. beating up reigns also gets bc unnecessary cheers. i'd just have them cost aj the match, beat him down, then have balor appear as the ppv signs off to indicate he was behind it.

 

Based on his most recent tweet, I think Jack Swagger is done with WWE very soon.

 

Wonder if we're about to get a bunch of future endeavors soon.

 

Gonna be a lot of guys who have been buried the last few years disappearing soon. Now that WWE has NXT, they dont need to pay a Swagger or Barrett or similar guy to be a midcard filler. They can bring up a Corbin or Crews instead.

That PPV was also thrown into disarray by Seth's injury. Remember, Roman won the #1 contender spot right after HIAC. Its even possible he was gonna take the title from Seth at SS originally.

What I'd love to see is them attack AJ, build to the feud with the Shield, and then have WM end with AJ joining them. Hell, have AJ or Balor win the title because of that. Feels like its been a while since WWE has done a good "member turns on group" move.

 

I still don't see The Shield reforming anytime soon... There's too much bad blood between Rollins and Reigns/Ambrose for them to just get back together. If anything, Rollins is gonna come back and gun for Reigns, who's blabbing that he's "the guy", while Seth claims to be the "true face of WWE". And, there's still the unresolved business between HHH/Seth.

I have to think this Bullet Club angle is separate and it's just keeping Roman busy until Rollins is ready. Maybe we'll get a Shield reformation down the line, but not anytime soon.

 

I was thinking The SHIELD reunion would be a one-off thing just for a match against BC to end the feud. Like when SHIELD went against Evolution. Evolution wasn't back together, just together for one match.

Have BC cost Ambrose, Reigns, Seth some matches. They tried to feud with them one on one but it doesn't work because of constant interference so SHIELD reunite to even the odds / end things but then quickly go their separate ways.

 

I don't think the shield should reunite in any way until they do a triple threat, even though shield/bc would be great.

Got around to watching WM32 for the first time in full since it aired. So much lost potential. If the booking was better I think we'd be talking about how amazing it was for a show that had such a lackluster build. Brock/Dean is disappointing, but I wouldn't call it bad. Roman spearing Steph was really well done, but it was the worst match on the card.

 

my biggest issue with Ambrose vs Lesnar was that Punk vs Lesnar at SS was so, so, so much better. Ambrose/Lesnar could have at least recreated that match spot for spot and it would have been ridiculously better than the match they did have at Mania. The Mania match seemed rush and missing a lot of spots or something.

 

because i'd rather try and improve the WWE champ 'story' anyway possible. Sure, your idea creates a decent enough feud for AJ and then AGAINST Reigns eventually, but I'd rather try and make the best of a rough situation with Reigns by giving him a better storyline. Having some sort of "Roman Empire" stable intrigues me.

 

If the Roman Empire doesn't involve the Uso's, I'd be fucking surprised. Anderson and Gallows are going to stomp The Uso's and Roman will come out and somehow trash both of them. Lights go out, Demon Balor is standing in the ring.

 

1. Styles wins title at Payback pretending not to know Anderson and Gallows interfered (ala Nash vs Goldberg w/ Hall taser)
2. Reigns can't get title back because BC keeps getting in his way.
3. Ambrose tries to help because he and Reigns are BFF's but doesn't work, 3vs2
4. Seth comes back but doesn't quite work with Reigns and Ambrose because he's Seth
5. Some PPV has Styles vs Reigns vs Seth where Seth sneaks the victory from Reigns (again, call back to WM31)
6. BC drops Styles for Balor because Styles lost the title (little bit Orton out of Evolution, little bit Punk takes over Nexus)
7. Sets up Balor vs Styles / BC stuff and Seth/Ambrose/Reigns for title

 

im gonna stop you right there haha come on now

 

Ramen aint dropping the title until at least Summer Slam

 

Points or trying.

 

Yeah I'm going to go with these two.

 

I feel like Enzo and Cass should lose this #1 contender match. They aren't the ones who need the push right now. Enzo is going to push them so far. VV can use all of the help they can get at this juncture.

 

I knew TNA was a mess, but this is just bad. How do people watch this product? A seven minute ladder match that is stiffer than the chubs in the front row.

 

yup. totally agree. ive even heard 'rumors' there's a chance the vaudevillains win the titles too to really get them noticed.

 

Wait, that ladder match is for control of the division? The hell does that even mean?

 

I think that is a bad idea. Aiden has the promo chops to go against New Day and Enzo, but Gotch has nothing.

 

I hope vaudevillains win them.
