90% of the world can't stand Punk which is why they loved the whole McIntyre/Punk feud so much.

I could not possibly disagree more with this.

Punk makes a lot of sense for this given his history with Heyman and how he wasn't around for most of Reigns dicketry. You must have had the volume muted during the last 5 minutes of Smackdown.

Probably now end up doing something were Punk elimnates Roman to win the RR sending Punk to face Cody in the main event night 1 at WM and Rock and Roman are night 2.

it was odd they went back to the Gunther/Priest well again when the thought that...............a returning CM Punk would start challenging for title after the lengthy Drew feud. Now Punks been off TV for almost 2 months now. Wondering if they pivoted and will now have him be apart of the ongoing Bloodline storyline especially with his history with Heyman.

Well. Well. Well

Sorry Anarchy, but I brought up Punk being the 5th member before you did.

He has history with Heyman and Roman. The Shield was originally created as Punk's hired guns.

And yeah, crack is on crack if he thinks 90% of the wrestling would/fandom hates Punk. Listen to the pop he gets, look at the merch sales.

Punk basically cutting a more heelish promo leads me to believe we finally start getting heel Punk when he returns.


Remember this? Guess both our predictions were wrong huh? lol

[marl1220]

I know I'm in the minority but I just don't get the fascination with Punk.

[ThatGuyPal]

That's the thing about Punk, he's polarizing, whether you like him or hate him you'll have an opinion. Guys like Cody, Roman etc. can't make fans feel such a way on both ends of the spectrum. You'll literally have people think he's the greatest thing to happen to wrestling and have people thinking he's the biggest POS in the business and didn't even deserve another WWE chance lol

He's a good storyteller.

As a person punk is a dick who treats everyone as they are beneath him. But as a wrestler give him credit he can give you a great match.

[whitmm]

The long term story telling told us it was going to be Punk a while ago. Back to when Roman went on his break. Punk's promo about being the original Heyman guy. Heyman asking Punk to take him with.

[whitmm]

What are everyone's thoughts on it being pointed out that Heyman was dressed just like Solo on SmackDown?

[ThatGuyPal]

Did we need TWO new women's mid-card title announced within a month?

Doesn't really seem necessary when you know they aren't gonna make it a workhorse title for the women, I also don't see who the target wrestlers for this are. A title isn't going to make someone like Chelsea Green or Mia Yim more over, and I can't see a Becky or Charlotte going for midcard titles beyond maybe Becky doing a Cena and becoming US Becks for a couple months lol so is it just a title for the second tier of main even women when they don't have the main title like Bianca, Asuka, Liv?

I'd rather they created one new title for them like a Television Title instead of mimmickng all the male titles for the women.

This is modern day WWE need to have equal titles for men and women even if the womens roster is not good enough to support two extra singles titles. Going to have maybe what 6 women on each brand fighting over the two titles on each brand?

[JustinVerlander07]

The Kofi/Woods segment was SO good. Didn't think Kofi had that level in him.

Very much looking forward to the New Day segment next week.

Big E as special referee for that match when it happens?

They'll put it on someone "big" at some point to show it has importance, kinda like when Charlotte/Becky went back and won the NXT title.

And I would assume that these now count towards the career "grand slam" so all the big names will need one or the other...

[Jaypers]

For those keeping score, that makes 11 championships across Raw and SD.

Only a matter of time until they create a second set of Women's tag titles to square everything up.

[Jericho]

I always find it odd when the face team has the advantage at War Games, but Im happy Bayley is in the match instead of Cargill.

I dont think they needed a womens US and IC Title. Should have just made a Womens TV Title that could be defended on both shows like the womens tag titles.

The New Day thing doesnt hold my interest because theyve been irrelevant since Big E was taken out of the group. That said I assume Big E will be part of things on Monday.

Agree with the first part but I don't think "grand slams" hold as much importance anymore especially when titles are dropped and introduced at the drop of a dime. I doubt Cena makes it a point to win the IC title before he retires (which means he prob will lol) or Punk for the US, when grand slam was three titles and IC had significance it was different. If anything I think the current Grand Slam for women would be NXT Women's Title, Raw and Smackdown titles, I'd say tag but I don't think its right to punish someone for being strictly singles or going the "can they co-exist" route and giving the title to two main eventers feuding like Ronda and Becky or something.

This championship was created to be defended on all shows, including NXT.
