Re: WWE Raw Discussion II
Rose looked ready to me the past couple times I've seen her live.

Re: WWE Raw Discussion II
For one, Riot may seem like an aesthetic fit for Paige, she does not however fit the role of henchmen particularly well. And Belair doesn't either. But more than anything, these two have higher upsides than those two. And maybe they won't be at the top of NXT or the main roster, but it would behoove them to not let these two get to a point where they can reach there full potential.

I just realized she was the b on the last Tough Enough series they had. I remember being angry that Miz saved her from elimination in one of the episodes. She was definitely not a team player, but when they did the matches at the end of that series, she did seem like the most polished of them - though it was more the other contestants being bad than anything else - and she's certainly eye candy. Weird thing - she looked a lot shorter back then than she did last night. Maybe it's the boots. Or maybe Alexa Bliss being so short in comparison. Hey, that's a positive about Bliss - she makes the other women look physically imposing. Can't say I'm a fan of Mandy Rose, but if she's put the work in... I can see why they're giving her this opportunity.

I thought I'd be Finn but he lost clean to Joe last night. Are they gonna do another Brock/Joe? I wouldn't mind that.
Also wouldn't mind another Fatal 4 Way, with Brock (c) vs Dean vs Roman vs Seth. That can start The Shield implosion.
Brock vs Joe part 2 (best option) or get that damn Brock vs Reigns match out of the way so we can get Brock vs Strowman at mania (which is the best match raw could put on at this point).

Re: WWE Raw Discussion II
I think Vince has lost confidence in Balor.
Kobe Bryant was asked who he feels is the toughest opponent to guard in the NBA. Instead of picking OKC's Kevin Durant, Bryant went with Portland’s Brandon Roy.
"Roy 365 days, seven days a week. Roy has no weaknesses in his game."

Re: WWE Raw Discussion II
Balor putting on a show in that loss on the last Raw to Joe doesn't hurt him. That was a great match against a great opponent.
But are they ever going to finally start a Balor Club - instead of just calling his fans that name?

Re: WWE Raw Discussion II
Yeah, multiple reports say that Vince is super down on Balor. He doesn't think the fans are behind Finn.

Well, we spent three years with him thinking the fans were behind Reigns, so I don't think he's a great judge.

You guys seen Finn's tweet with him and Reigns with a, "fOreVER" caption?

Re: WWE Raw Discussion II
Don't know if it was mentioned yet but didn't Paige spend the bulk of Tough Enough trying to get Mandy Rose kicked off? That's pretty funny.

I vaguely recall some tension there but I'm sure it was all in the name of kayfabe.

As I vaguely recall, Paige's biggest problem with the females on the show was they hadn't watched her latest big match. She pitched a fit about it and acted like... a diva.

Re: WWE Raw Discussion II
what on earth was that? Seriously the crowd was dead, raw itself was dead also. Only thing that was halfway interesting was Hardy possibly becoming broken (even that, the crowd barely reacted cause wwe killed him so much).
Also they've turned Finn Balor into a jobber (that is man finn, demon balor is still capable, but the man version of him is useless). I would say turn the man heel but you can't swear on WWE tv
Rollins vs Cesaro was good and Asuka squashing Brooke was well done but its the 2nd week of Paige's return story and they're still going with the 'no, i started the revolution' nonsense. Its pathetic.
Was like 09 raw all over again actually (where most of it is absolutely horrid, but theirs about 1 or 2 redeeming factors).

Who benefits from a Wyatt-Broken Hardy feud though? TNA built Decay first before involving them with the Hardys. Bray is no one atm.

I suppose I could maybe buy Sonja, but I chuckled a little bit at the thought of Paige and Mandy intimidating Asuka.
The Absolution is a terrible stable name and I'm already bored to tears with them. Paige just doesn't have appeal anymore.

Belair better be on top of NXT soon.

Elias has a lot of sXe Punk and Wyatt in him. I'd like to see his current gimmick morph into that of a cult leader. I really think he could pull it off.
