I wouldn't mind a SHIELD reunion if the Wyatt's get built up like they should.


I realize that in the end SHIELD would go over, and Bray would probably be right back to where he is, so maybe not.

 

I can't believe they let Peyton Royce wear that for her match. Looked like a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen

 

The first 15 minutes of NXT were great. The rise of No Way Jose from dumb dancing guy who wasn't great at wrestling to complete package of mic work, ring work and charisma is a real testament to NXT still being a succesful developmental brand

 

I feel like there have been so many more flops than successes.

 

What if Eva Marie attacked Nikki?

 

Ive seen rumors of him vs Roman, which honestly, sounds like an awful feud...but I guess I'd rather they waste both and let everyone else do fun things.

And if WWE put the shield over as tag champs, might as well just book The Club back to NJPW

 

I mean I'd be shocked if the 2/3 shield don't become tag champs at some point, I've been seeing rumors float up about it for a good amount of time. I wouldn't hate it as long as the feud was good. I'd love to see them face orton/Wyatt in a champ vs champ match but other than that they're going to probably beat all the current heels out of the water. The only thing that might be beneficial is bringing up the revival to narrowly beat them for the tag title so they're automatically elevated.

 

Weren't they already tag champs?

 

Yep

 

Yes, Seth and Roman were tag champs.

RAW already has 0 plan for Enzo/Cass and The Club...or what they'll do with the New Day...and they just built a team out of mid-carders. So, adding to that a tag team of two top-card guys is gonna bury 1 if not 2 of those teams. Unless they are gonna elevate Cesaro or Sheamus to fight for the title.

Its also a scenario where Roman would be holding multiple titles hostage, meaning those feuds are all drug down by bad mic work.

 

I think he would lose the title, maybe to strowman... Ehhh

 

Braun Strouman US Open challenge sounds hilarious

 

I think it'd be a waste for Seth/Roman to get the tag belts. That rub could've gone to several other deserving tag teams, Seth and Roman don't need it.

 

Ellsworth answers first


I know, I know...whole brand split thing.

 

Man in a company where you have so many actual legit tag teams with built in tag gimmicks, what a crazy waste it would be to have both champions consists of single wrestlers

 

Id love to know what the Club were told during negotiations about where their characters would go and what kinda trajectory they'd be on. You have to think there's a little bit of regret there leaving NJPW.

 

I want to say there might have been plans with Finn and AJ, but they sent AJ to Smackdown and that makes no fucking sense.

 

I doubt Finn ever comes to smack down, more likely aj to raw and I doubt that too

 

I think Raw needs to pull the trigger this Monday and have Jericho win the US title. He should have already because I think the Y2J/KO running Raw would make a lot much more sense. Tag titles wouldn't work IMO. Also makes their matches at Roadblock...sensible?

Not gonna happen though.

 

Jericho should be leaving soon, so probably not. I'd love that though.

 

Everyone has said he's leaving soon for like a year lol is fozzy recording yet? That usually tells all

 

I think you're gonna see KO turn on Jericho soon, and it'll culminate in a final match at WM with Jericho putting over KO and leaving WWE again for a while.

 

They started recording in October.

 

But yeah, he was supposed to leave around August. lol
