I love The Undertaker and his decades of work, but after last year, I really don't want him to wrestle anymore.

Brock vs Rock = shudder. Two part time wrestlers with Paul Heyman carrying the feud weekly with a few taped promos and the occasional confrontations. Sadly, I could see WWE doing this.

At first she was acting all cold and heartless about it then that almost immediately turned into some weird scared look, and then by the time she was going up the ramp it looked like she was about to cry. She's the worst.


I re-watched the end of the Edge-Jeff Hardy match from Royal Rumble 2009 when Matt turned on Jeff. And Matt isn't a guy known for subtlety and facial expressions. But the look on his face after her hit Jeff was this look of envy mixed with disdain and it was perfect. Nikki should've been watching that clip on a loop for the last week trying to copy it exactly.

From a bigger picture POV, this wasn't a huge shock but its why I was really hoping it wouldn't happen. She's not good, and Brie's really not that much better. Brie did cut by far her best promo in that backstage segment at Summerslam, but I really wonder how much of that was because it was probably pre-taped. These two are simply not good enough to be in a main event level story and it really disappointed me that they didn't just do this as simply as possible and have Brie win and then she just goes back to being just another female wrestler.

Yeah I don't like Rock vs. Brock for the title, maybe as a separate match but not for the title. Who knows if Brock will hold the title for that long.

I'm not a huge fan of Reigns vs. Brock. The only fitting way to have Reigns win the strap at Wrestlemania is a triple threat match with Rollins and Ambrose. If he beats Brock, I don't know how much I'd buy it and it would seem like a forced storyline choice.

Here's an idea nobody is talking about: bring back Kurt Angle and do Angle vs Lesnar at WM31. I know we've seen it already but they had some good ass matches in the past.

There's a reason why no one's suggested it, its not a good idea. Kurt shouldn't still be wrestling and if he does it, it should be with someone like Bryan and Ziggler that can bump around for him not the other way around. Plus, I don't think Kurt would pass there medical tests.

Brock's had 8 matches, the Big Show match was more of an angle than a match so exclude that one and so he's had 7. The best matches have been with Cena and Punk who spent the match bumping around for Brock. And so hearing about a match with The Rock or another match with the Undertaker and I'll say if the direction they go is what everyone suspects, I have significant doubts about the quality of Reigns-Lesnar. As a character he's ice cold and because of that this isn't a good idea for a match but the only big guy I'd be really confident could get a quality match out of Brock is Sheamus.

Kurt Angle can barely walk to the ring upright. He's broken & he now realizes it.

It's the reason why he's begging to be re-signed to the WWE. He wants to be taken care of for life.

I would like to see Angle (if healthy ever again) vs Rusev.

Kurt's net worth is $20M. He doesn't need anyone else to take care of him.

If he's going back to the E, it's because of one last hurrah/his legacy, not to get surgeries.

Shame. That shouldn't be an issue.

I really doubt that Kurt has $20 million.

Possible. He does owe TNA the respect of, at least, waiting til his contract ends before he publicly courts the WWE. He has been treated very well in TNA, including them being patient with him during his multiple substance abuse problems.

Maybe the WWE will swerve everyone and let Ambrose win the briefcase from Rollins then, in the same night, cash it on on Brock for the title? You'd think that at some point for the Rollins v Ambrose feud to end that the briefcase has to be on the line.

To me the direction and end game of this feud seems pretty clear. Ambrose will be out the next few weeks, I don't know what Rollins will do at Night of Champions but I don't expect another Rollins-Ambrose match there. Ambrose will return either at Night of Champions or the following night and then at Hell in a Cell we get the blow off match to the feud in a Hell In A Cell.

I guess we will get Dolph / Miz at Night of Champions. Hopefully The Miz gets his belt back.
