I would like to see something ala Ultimate Warrior. Gunther beats Rollins for the title and then is made to give up the IC title and we have a tourney to decide who will be the new IC champ. That way you really don't have to have Gunther take a loss giving it up and can be open to giving it to a face like Gable or a heel like Miz.

Definitely will end up being Cody going to SD. And if thats the case IDK if I'd wait til Mania to have him beat Roman. Not everything has to be a "Mania Moment".

I hope they dont just stick Baszler and Stark as a tag team. Baszler deserves a singles run. A Ripley/Baszler feud would be good.

I think it’ll be KO.

Read this earlier and it really resonated, but it's crazy how many strong and beloved babyfaces exist in WWE right now. Can't remember a time since the Ruthless Aggression era probably where there was so many strong babyfaces.

(no order)

Cody, Seth, KO, Sami, Jey, LA Knight

It's clear (along with Roman on the heel side) why the product has been so good since HHH has taken over. So many guys to invest in and care about.

I've got friends, who haven't watched since they were kids, getting back into wrestling. They're in their late 20s

I'm starting to feel that the late 2010s were like the early to mid 1990s for WWE. Really weak booking and storylines that were derailed by Vince calling last minute audibles and shoving Roman down everyone's throat

Yea, the rise of babyface Roman just was really bad aside from a few moments. I'm really starting to enjoy the product overall again.

Cardboard Dawg · 09-08-2023, 07:40 PM

YEAH!

Cardboard Dawg · 09-08-2023, 08:07 PM

I have a feeling that I’m reading far too into these LA Knight and Paul Heyman teases and will be heavily disappointed when nothing comes from them

At the same time though…

Jolten Joe · 09-08-2023, 09:14 PM

AJ turning heel looks like. Weird interaction with JD and BL but my guess is we eventually get a triple threat for the titles JD vs. BL. vs HB2.0

Something like that isn't done on accident. They're setting something up for the future. Now, if LA Knight fizzles out before they can put the wheels in motion, that's another story.

Jaypers · 09-11-2023, 10:22 AM

Today is the last day Vince will have majority control of WWE. The merger takes effect tomorrow.

JustinVerlander07 · 09-11-2023, 07:07 PM

One reason Jey Uso is so over: phenomenal theme music. Even the new slant on the old theme. Theme music matters, especially in an era where so many have generic crappy music.

Vince's last F U... here's Nia Jax back

Imagine that is truly the case, and as soon as the deal is done endeavor cuts her again lmao.

Heading to SmackDown Friday, hoping for a surprise or two. Maybe whoever is "traded" to SmackDown will debut.

EDIT: Sitting here and thinking about it, it truly is crazy that the FINAL image of the McMahon era is Nia Jax while being booed to #@#@#@#@. That was the best option to end the main event?

Why is it Vince's last? I thought the new company was going to keep Vince around?

Need to return to entrance video's

JustinVerlander07 · 09-12-2023, 11:05 AM

I'm slightly curious if the boo's for Dom are piped in. Because the noise was SOO loud for the opening segment.

Guess they dont care what the fans want.

I'm just hoping we see something good with Nakamura and he gets the title

Jericho · 09-12-2023, 01:01 PM

Well I guess Nia Jax is at least a more believable opponent for someone like Rhea since they have a lot of smaller women on the roster. Her being kinda unsafe at times is a huge issue though. Hopefully she's trained while away and gotten better?

Already tired of this Jey Uso thing. He's been a main focus for so damn long

Jolten Joe · 09-12-2023, 01:08 PM

Wonder if they are going to do the SD vs. Raw teams for Survivor Series where each brand attacks each other leading up to it and Jey ends up being the savior for Raw after walking out again and that's how he finally earns the respect of the locker room type deal. Similar to the WCW/WWE thing where Austin had left but in the end wound up saving the WWE guys.

Why would they go to the trouble to pipe in boo's for a guy like Dom? If they were doing that they'd be doing it for Priest, who has the MiTB.

I don't know, why did they pipe in boos and cheers for every person when Smackdown was taped?

Well, that makes more sense because it was for everybody.
