"A lot of fun" and "Corbin cashing in" the same sentence seems odd

 

I love the Dean and Seth build, but I wonder if there is room for them in the division right now. It would be cool to see them get the titles.

Stroman has to win at SS right?

 

The title being cashed in is always an exciting moment regardless of who it is

 

They are the only face tag team right now other than the Hardys haha

 

Corbin and Cena is not a good feud. But like Jersey said the other day, I see Jinder winning at SS, not sure how Corbin will factor in.

 

I wish they had the option to cash it on either show. That would be exciting especially with a guy like Corbin.

 

Cena might be moving brands after summer slam so I don't see him winning anyways to get cashed in on. Probably will be Nak winning and Corbin cashing in

 

Yeah true but you have Revival, G&A, the Hardys and S&C. That's a crowded field.

 

i disagree on the idea that 'any cash in' is exciting. The WWE title is currently held by a jobber and the guy holding the briefcase is someone I have extremely limited interest in.

 

So you think Nak wins tonight? I'll have to watch tomorrow since I'm seeing He is Legend tonight. They are basically the only band that stops in Reno anymore.

 

Jinder really can't be considered a jobber anymore considering he has held the belt for a while now - his reign is essentially similar to Owens' reign with the Universal

 

No I think shenanigans happen tonight to turn it into a triple threat match at SS

 

there is 0% Cena is not in a match involving Jinder at summerslam. It's either triple threat or just Cena, with Nak getting attacked by Corbin tonight.

 

You like Jinder as champ?

There's a lot of positivity coming out of Drew today!

 

I feel like there's no way we are getting a straight up Cena/Nak match on regular tv

 

I don't care for Jinder as champ but I wouldn't call him a jobber any longer

 

Okay if you don't like my wording of jobber that's fine... ill switch it to "joke' as a champion.

 

But that's any heel champion that isn't Brock Lester

Seth Rollins, Sheamus, and Kevin Owens were all booked like Jinder is now - it's the only way WWE knows how to book heel champions

So essentially every heel champion of the last 3 years has been a "joke"

 

Jinder is no longer a jobber, and I like the classic heel side of him being champ. But he is awful in ring. Pretty much unwatchable.

 

Except all of those guys had pedigrees of being taken seriously BEFORE they were booked as chicken shit heels. Rollins with the shield, Sheamus brought up as a force, and Owens extensively long background in NxT and the indies as a champ.

Jinder's lifelong history of being a jobber and then randomly giving the title... AND being booked as he is is why he's a joke.

In order for me to get over Jinder's history of being absolutely shitty, they really needed to wow me and they've completely failed to do that.

The WWE champ right now is pretty much "India"...not Jinder.

 

Damn. Can't really argue that though. And the fact that he has not won one title match even somewhat legitimately doesn't help.

 

I wish there would be more inter-show matches at the big PPVs, like a singles or tag match or two, a GM vs. GM type deal, I think that'd be cool if done right

 

I feel like in their minds, that undermines the concept of Survivor Series.

 

I mean, you can still do a Raw vs. SD elimination match/matches at SS, but maybe at SummerSlam/Wrestlemania/The Rumble do like a one-off match between two guys currently not in some sort of feud or whatever, throw in a stipulation if they want.

 

Especially since they did that at Summerslam last year with Randy/Brock.

In a world where Corbin has no obvious match, and there are RAW superstars that could use a match, it'd make sense to throw a one-off "which brand is better" match in
