Uhaa Nation could be a big deal. If they don't go all racist with him and make him part of the New Day or something. Legit powerhouse and athletic as fuck. Awesome finisher.

Much like Itami, who I expect to be used as a comedy act once he hits the main roster, I dont have high hopes for their ability to not do what you said.

Probably right.

I am digging Tyler Breeze a lot. He has improved a lot in the ring. His gimmick is fun. He is probably destined for a Fandango like treatment.

Agreed with what you tweeted today. Zayn/Owens build up last week was money. I'd like to see this build to a Mania match. Zayn should come up full time soon and Owens cost him something big.

Fun Owens promo from back in the day.



Rumor is Samoa Joe may debut on Wednesday. Which would kick ass.

Itami is injured, maybe Joe attacks him and takes his spot in the triple threat?

Predictions for tonight:

Tag Title Match- New Day
Sheamus/Ziggler- Sheamus
Barrett/Neville- Barrett
Cena/Rusev- Cena
Divas Match- Naomi/Tamina
Fatal 4 Way- Rollins(I kind of expect Ambrose to turn heel in this match)

I agree with all of your predictions. No idea what will happen in the Wyatt/Ryback match. I assume Ryback will win but who knows. What they have done with Wyatt has been embarrassing. His promos are killer but they have not built him up at all. I want him to win Money in the Bank but I doubt that happens.

I am feeling an Ambrose heel turn coming as well. As over as he is maybe not yet though. With Bryan hurt Ambrose is the guy who gets the biggest pops right now. That would leave Cena, Reigns and Orton as the main faces. Which is about as exciting as paint drying. Dolph could be in the mix there but they have buried him as well. This really opens the door for Zayn when he is up full time.

I keep hearing Orton/Brock at Summerslam. I don't mind that as a match. I think it could even be really good. I don't wanna see it for the title though. Summerslam could be interesting though if it's Brock/Orton in a number 1 contender match and Rollins v Ambrose v Reigns for the title.

I forgot about Wyatt/Ryback, I think Ryback will win.

It baffles me that Ryback is over again. He sucks so bad.

If the Shield Triple Threat does not headline WM, WWE is doing something WAY WRONG. Those three are magic together.

This. 1000000 times this.

Mania of this...

Rollins v Reigns v Ambrose
Owens v Zayn
Taker v Sting (don't care...I wanna see it)

would fucking rule!!

[numbers]

I feel like the match last night kind of spoiled The Shield triple threat.

Also, I've said this on Twitter, I do NOT want The Shield re-formed any time soon. They've spent 12 months building these guys as individual characters, putting them back together at this point would be so counter-productive.

[numbers]

If I was going to do the Mania Card:

Rollins v Brock(Set it up so that Brock somehow gets screwed at Summerslam and then wins the Rumble.)
Rock v Reigns
HHH v Ambrose(?, any better ideas?)
Taker v Sting(will be brutal, but I'm pretty sure they are going to do it.)

Yeah as far as the Shield reunion it will happen someday. I just hope not anytime soon.

As long as they don't do the Shield triple threat soon I think it can still be awesome. Crowd will eat it up. They missed the boat on a Punk v Bryan match at Mania though. they will probably miss it on Rollins v Reigns v Ambrose too.

I wonder if Brock would want to be in the Rumble? If Rock is working WM32 I bet we see Brock v Rock.

[numbers]

I'd rather see Rock v Reigns as it makes sense story-wise and I think Rock would be really motivated to have a good match. I don't see why having Brock in the Rumble would be a problem, he can enter at 29 or 30 and just destroy everyone in minutes. The crowd would eat that up and he wouldn't have to go more than 10 minutes.

[BigRedLedbetter]

This was great. Also loved the exchange between Reigns and Ambrose about the loser buys beers.

If Brock doesn't have to go long I could see him doing it maybe. He seems like the kinda of guy that will do just about anything for the right price.

Very true. Reigns has actually gotten better in the ring. Another 10 months from now I'm sure he will be ready to go 20-30 minutes in a marquee match. I am not a Reigns hater like most. I see why they like the guy so much.

[numbers]

Reigns is still pretty bad on the mic, but his in ring skills have improved dramatically since the Rumble. I don't even think his poor mic skills are all his fault either, he's a guy that goes on a script verbatim, so the writing is half the problem.

They are bad but I'm sure they hold just about everyone back creatively. Which is a shame. I worry about that with Owens. He is so great on the mic. If they call him up and don't give him a shot to show what he can do it's a major waste.

you watching, brl?

you watching, brl?

Please. Someone. Anyone. Make a GIF of Owens doing the you can't see me hand thing. Such a badass! Did find a still. Look at how beautiful it is.
