WWE Discussion thread- Raw/SD/PPV

[sthoemke]

Looking forward to Tajiri coming back to WWE, even if it is just for the cruiser weight division.

Where is Emma?

[jmarascojr]

She was at the house show in Rochester a couple weeks back, she was the guest referee and then started some nonsense with Bayley...

God I hope he wins the title at WK! One of the best in the world for sure, think he could have a great run on top feuding with Okada/Tanahashi/Naito

[gorillaz]

Apparently DDP is the first inductee into the HOF this year.

[cdub6238]

yaaay what a way to start off SD..

Ziggler/Corbin for the 3677589 time....again, another reason to be made for the roster being to thin for a split...

[cdub6238]

finally something new!!

Ziggler heel turn much needed...thought they were gonna keep with the same feud schtick with another Kalisto/Corbin match..

[Ty Hope]

AJ made Cena look completely ridiculous and a hypocrite. Cena is coming off as a whiny child.

[Ty Hope]

Every point AJ made was spot on. Cena just rambled.

[DaKidder]

It almost seems like the writers watched Total Bella's & just told Cena "Be the cocky guy from the show." It's not quite a heel turn, but more of an "I'm better than you" tweener who tells you how good he is

[jmarascojr]

Cena's promos lately are coming off like he's having an inner struggle between the Dr. of Thuganomics and Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous John Cena....

The doctor wants to come out and play, but upper class John Cena keeps pushing him back inside....

I like it to be honest. No one on the SD roster can touch him on the mic and his slowly changing characters is refreshing which is something he needs.

Most WWE fans don't tune into the network and watch NXT however. They only have like what, 1.5 million subscribers? But take into account a lot of those people aren't watching NXT either as they are mostly using it either for the PPVs or watching the old stuff. So most people watching the Raw storyline are unaware of the Bayley NXT storyline.

I think it's starting to progress nicely. Got her big win against the big bad (but also terribly) Nia Jax, now will face Charlotte at the Rumble and lose, which sends her on this long quest to finally reach her goal of the women's title. In all honesty, it's the Daniel Bryan story all over again.

The team behind Smackdown is so much better than the team behind Raw. They hear the boos for Dolph, so they turn him heel. They know AJ's always going to get cheered, and Cena is going to have some people boo him, so his character gets tweaked. The crowd gets behind Corbin, so they give Corbin a more prominent role. The crowd is invested in Miz's storyline, so they give Miz quite a bit of time.

And on a somewhat related note, WWE, you've got a top star in the making in Jack Gallagher, don't screw it up.

Yikes! Daniel Bryan storyline was a movement. This is just an underdog role. Daniel Bryan hijacked everything on the program and was much longer build.

Also, a failed face turn Sasha Banks has stolen that "this was my dream since I was a little girl" angle.

Sasha should've kept the belt, had Bayley congratulate her than Sasha go heel on Bayley by showing who "The Boss" character really is/was. Even though that would again be NXT storyline, at least it's 2 new people. With Bayley chasing Charlotte it's the same exact rivalry as Sasha/Charlotte it's just Bayley is next one up.

Well calling it the Daniel Bryan storyline is a bit of a stretch, it will more reflect the chase for the title that Bryan had (except WWE never planned on giving him the title vs. pretty sure they are eventually planning on giving Bayley the title.)

You could still turn Sasha heel and screw Bayley from getting the title. Maybe have Sasha down the line turn on Bayley right when she's about to get her big win. Sasha goes on to win the title and then they have the Sasha vs Bayley match where she finally gets the big win.

I believe Bayley's win should come against Sasha and not Charlotte. I feel it could really progress the story very well to have her best friend backstab her right when she was about to win it, and leads to another chase eventually for the title.
