I mean it's not like they're doing anything compelling with him to begin with. I read today that he asked to go back to NXT.

And he was denied. I think he's pretty much done in the WWE. It may depend on what his non-compete clause is - another reason these guys should have a union.

Everything Black has done on the main roster has fell flat, and it’s a shame because he was yet another guy that looked like he had high-level potential. Nonetheless, just like with Vega, if he were to be released, there would certainly be a market for him.

That being said, I don’t know if he had/has the same gripes with the company that Vega did so I don’t know if he’ll for sure be let go/released.

Every time a guy gets called up from NXT they never do anything meaningful with them. Rinse repeat

I think Montez Ford has a lot of potential; he’s uber-athletic, tall, has a good look, dresses well outside the ring — but he has these over the top, goofy mannerisms in the ring.

The ring psychology just isn’t there. Street Profits are too “New Day-ish” in there promos and though their matches can be entertaining and I do like them, it’s just not consistent enough to call them a great tag team though.

From what i've read, they'll be turning heel soon. Should be interesting

I'm sure they'll do the same thing with them that they do with every tag team...break them up way too early, thus ensuring no one really cares when it happens and leaving both guys dead in the water because one isn't good enough to make it on his own and the other doesn't have enough experience and isn't ready.

Look what just happened with heavy machinery. They had Tucker turn on Otis, only to not follow it up with anything and immediately make Tucker a jobber

Maybe Montez took your words to heart, because he was the entire package in Survivor Series. He set the tone for that match - talking the talk and then walking the walk.

Seems like he was the backstage brains behind most of the great Rumble booking too.

Ugh. Looks like Roman/Goldberg.

I suppose I don’t mind if it’s a quick squash program for Rumble. If this is what they’re planning for Mania, I can’t help but think it’s such a waste of what Roman has built for himself.

This would be avoidable.
Nobody wants to see that. The current storyline with Reigns is much better and he should continue that.

They should build to Roman vs Big E for Mania.

I’ve been hearing some clamoring for Big E to get that main event spot, but I just don’t think he’s worthy of it. He’s just too jokey and silly a character — even after splitting from the new day. His character is centered around goofy mannerisms and expressions, and it’s not like he puts on five-star matches.

Drew vs Roman would’ve been a great main event with fans there.

I’m okay with Goldberg stepping in since they didn’t get their match earlier this year.

The Talking Smack promo with Heyman and Big E was a must watch. Hope it leads to E shedding the New Day schtick entirely and becoming a monster. And if they are going to do Roman-Goldberg at WM, they can afford to turn E heel then too.

Big E was speechless, didn't look like a work. If it was, really well done

And add his last name Langston for the love of humanity

Just saw it - that was terrific. Still, E needs to show more pure wrestling skills to have top level matches and to be a legit top card guy, imo.
