I'm still not over at how great it was that time machine segment and Kofi coming out to his old music and speaking fake jamaican.

 

That was outstanding. Kofi has turned out to be pretty funny.

 

Who knew Kofi would end up being one of the best talkers in the WWE?

New Day is always entertaining but that segment was something special.

 

They stuck it to her so good I bet she wakes up every morning mad about it

 

Styles is getting over like crazy, he will definitely be in the title picture again and a win wouldn't shock me at all

 

I don't see AJ ever winning the title. I will be super surprised if he does. His feud with Reigns would also be way more compelling if WWE wasn't so insistent on treating the boos Roman gets as an ovation. Hard not to be insulted by the way they ignore the crowd and, by extension, part of the audience.

 

i love when reigns gets the boos EVERY TIME jbl says "like him or hate him", like nah, 80 percent of the crowd hates him and it is generally boos.

 

Bray needs to be the next WWE champion after Reigns. It has to happen.

 

It's always a tough sell when the baby face doesn't work out as planned.

 

He would still so good as a cocky babyface who got everything he ever wanted in life. But no, let's make him a babyface that everyone hates because he looks good. Ugh.

Also, they lost me with Bray when he lost to Kane and Taker. I can't take him seriously when he can't even beat two old man.

 

My only reason for saying styles ain't ever winning is the fact that he's from tna

 

only reason I think AJ will win is because the chaos of him with the title, Roman wanting it, then all those other main guys returning...the build to Summerslam could be incredible.

Whereas if Roman retains, Im not sure theres a story I'd care about in the lulls between ppvs

 

AJ winning could create tons of different and new scenarios. Which is why it won't happen. Reigns will retain until SummerSlam or something.

 

They won't take it from Roman again. Vince doesn't want that. Wouldn't make any sense after all that's happened. Which sucks because Reigns is just so boring in every way. Depends on a punch and a spear, bland in ring and on mic and worst of all, no gimmick! I mean the guy still comes out to the Shield intro music for fucks sake.

 

Orion vs AJ with a old era vs new era kinda feel would be kinda cool for the title.

Reigns is Reigns. He would do great as a heel but as a face he just makes everything unbearable. His segments are hard to watch with the boos vs the commentators portraying him as a face and him playing half face half heel. It's all so jarring.

 

The eventual Shield reunion will be awesome. I think it will happen someday. Reigns was great in that role.

 

And even worse, cause Roman can't carry a feud by himself, you have Gallows and Anderson looking like dumbasses the last 2 weeks, eating pins from the Usos and getting superman punched every 5s.

 

Oh yeah, they look like total losers. Can't take them seriously already.

 

Cruiserweight tickets are on sale.

 

Surprised people are coming to the defense of this feud. Like I said last night, it's kind of secretly sucked.

I wouldn't call the matches "great". They've been okay, probably better than expected. But getting the same bullshit tag match week after week is zzzzzz. The storyline itself is pretty bad. Bullet Club should be dominating the shitter Usos. I would even take a fucking Roman overcomes the odds moment over bringing down the Bullet Club to the Usos level.

Gallows and Anderson are forever seesawing back and forth between being heels and supporting AJ. Styles himself is just as much of a wash. Hating when Bullet Club ambushes Roman on Raw but not really minding that much when they show up in the actual title match. I don't know. And all that is without even mentioning how bad the promos are, which is literally half the feud.

 

It's okay. I will white knight for her so she doesn't have to.

 

Its a comparative excercise. Reigns segments in the time between the Rumble and WM were unwatchable, "do i even want to watch RAW" bad. And they meant every night started with a 20min HHH or Steph promo.

here, they've built something like a story. They've managed to get something out of Reigns. And the only victims have been Gallows/Anderson, who can come out if it fine by joining with Finn, or destroying the nothingness that is the tag division.

There's no such thing as a truly great story with Reigns. Honestly, this is the 2nd best we've gotten. The best was that 2 week period around TLC, when he almost got over, before needing to cut promos drug him down.

Would have been smart to do singles matches between Gallows/Anderson and the Usos though, rather than the tag matches. Cause individual guys trading pins vs The Club losing 3 or 4 straight matches does make a difference

 

Seriously - if goddamn sheamus can get a two month run they'll give one to AJ

 

You guys are forgetting Vince's lovely history of putting guys from other companies over.
