How about a faction of Bray, Demon Balor, and Black?

Hoping it’s not another head injury for DB. He’s the best guy they have in that company when Cena is not around.

If DB says he's going to 205 Live would you guys watch?

What I'd like to see is DB bring back Luke Harper and restart the feud with Kofi + New Day. New Day vs DB + Harper/Rowan at SummerSlam for all the titles.

During that open forum they did, that would've been the perfect time to bring Bischoff back to TV. Imagine the pop he would've got.

Shane is pretty athletic and looked worse than Vince on that stunner

They need to stop putting Dolph in main events. Actually, they need to not book Dolph at all.

Dolph really should have left years ago honestly. For his own sake actually, back in 2014 or 2015 when he was first rumoured to be leaving, he should have taken that time and gone into the independent scene or another large company like New Japan and reinvented himself and if he wanted to come back after that, then he should have come back refreshed.

When you look at the biggest wastes of talent in WWE history Dolph Ziggler has got to be number 1 or at least
in the top 5. Outside of CM Punk he was my favorite guy I enjoyed wrestling earlier on this decade. What Vince
has done to him is a travesty and now people think that Dolph actually sucks because hes been booked that way
for years now. I'm surprised they haven't just thrown him a bone make him a transitional champ or have a 3 month
reign just to make him happy or keep him credible in the fans eyes at least.

Is Kofi Kingston still throwing pancakes around? They had a golden opportunity to make this guy. He should have taken a serious turn after winning the title. Instead from what I saw he was still acting like a goof.

Any casual who started watching would think its a joke and stop immediately.

Interesting. They acknowledged the '09 incident with Orton.

And can we expect a Fiend-Balor squash considering Balor requested for some time off? No Demon I suppose.

Should be a convincing victory for Wyatt.
Push Bray to the moon, give him the title at some point and let him overcome all the challengers.
Let the impression rise that there's no normal person who can beat the Fiend.

Balor then ultimatly returns as the demon and takes the title.

Judging from his reactions and what people have been saying online everybody seems to be digging Bray
Wyatt or the new Bray Wyatt the "Owwie Wowwwie" line seems to be really over.

I love that he's dramatically changed his look I wish stale guys like Reigns and The Miz would do something like
that. I also think he deserves major props for getting into way better shape although I did see him huffing and
puffing again just entering the ring and giving Foley the Mandible claw.

I'm very curious to see if he's improved in the ring especially his cardio because right now he's got 2/3 things
nailed down. But even if he's average to above average he should be booked strong the good news for him
is Samoa Joe has taken over his and Rusvevs old role of being Romans personal jobber.

I know fans are going to crap on it, but I like this Orton vs Kofi thing. Orton has always been very underrated both in the ring, and in his ability to build up feuds and heat for his matches

Orton has been cruising for years, for a filler feud, it would have been fine, but not for the supposedly 2nd biggest show of the year (not that PPV's or anything matters anymore, it may as well be on an episode of raw tbh).

There was a brief moment when Ziggler won that survivor series match (sting’s debut) where I thought they were finally going to run with him. Then Cena came out to the ramp to celebrate with him and i knew that was that.

Not a bad episode at all. Liked the little cliffhanger at the end

BRING BACK LUKE HARPER

Bryan/Harper/Rowan vs Roman/Usos would be a great feud. A 3 on 3 man Hell in a Cell match sounds incredible between them.
