I hope Rollins makes his return in Chi, Philly or NY. The roof on that place would blow off. Wonder if they'll have Rollins give up the title this Monday or keep him off air until his return.

I'm not a Ziggler fan. He's an entertaining wrestler, but his character does nothing for me. His time has passed as well. I'm more interested in seeing them push guys like Ambrose, Cesaro, Bray, Owens, etc. They should have capitalized off his pin at SurSer last year, but they didn't.

I actually want them to go the obvious route this time, and have Reigns be the corporate heel like the Rock, and have Ambrose be the face because quite frankly he's the biggest one on the roster at the moment with DB, Orton and Cena out.

Man, that sucks. Even though I've been really disengaged with the WWE product of late for a variety of reasons, I thought he was doing a good job as champ.

WWE has not positioned these guys well enough to take the mantle.

If you think about two years ago when Shield, Wyatts and Cesaro were where they are you should really have established Regns, Ambrose, Bray and Cesaro in to being strong pushes in to that tier battling. Some have been forced up to those levels but haven't caught on really.

The guy who's the best talker and worker IMO is Owens and he could do the rogue thing taking on faces and heels well. It would be cool if say saw the Authority go in to help Reigns win it, turns him complete heel but Ambrose knocked out earlier by Reigns and turning to the Authority he comes down and screws Reigns out of it and Owens wins the title.

Ambrose and Reigns have a feud develop and you find someone to face Owens but I don't know who that face is after maybe a three way match between those three.

I just don't see any way that Wyatt is in the picture given it would be crazy for them to all of a sudden drop the taker/kane angle. Either way looking forward to seeing what raw reveals monday.

Rollins was probably the main reason I still followed (PPVs at least).

It's going to suck without him.

Couldn't agree more. Ziggler's situation is unfortunate because WWE never truly pushed him when he was at his peak. He was red hot with fans for a while and was looking like he might be the next big thing. Then he fell back into mid-card (and lower) status and never recovered. Now there's a new generation that is surpassing him and he'll never truly get his due. I haven't been entertained by his character in quite a while and his matches are all relatively boring to me now. When he and Rey Mysterio were feuding back around Summerslam 2009, Ziggler was very close to being ready to be the guy, but that seems like a generation ago.

I think he did an interview where he said was flying back and meeting with Dr. Andrews on Monday.

I hope they keep Rollins completely out of the picture for as long as he's gonna be gone and then he has a moment like this when he comes back

Stupid question: are they gonna be doing a 1998 style deadly game tournament with 16 guys and have it all on the same night? That would be the best way to do it

They started the tourney last night on raw. And I doubt that'd be the best way to do it, that ppv was a clusterf*ck and had way to many short matches

I'm actually looking forward to a break from Rollins...

I was starting to find his promos and mic work boring and repetitive obviously as champ he's gonna
get a lot of air time but I was starting to get a little sick of him. Goes without saying he's a tremendous
worker to bad his last 3 ppv matches were against Kane, Sting and Cena although I really enjoyed his match
against Sting.

Sucks he probably won't be ready to have a match at WM but I'm looking forward to the sudden unexpected
change in direction this brings.

C'mon Razor, you can't be serious! To each their own I guess. Now Too Sweet me, bro.
