Could be related to the Vince retirement?

Theory seems to have beef with everyone except his actual Summerslam opponent right now

Wow. I expected Karrion Kross to come back but not that fast and not like that. That was a near perfect return for him. Looked like a monster.

Got his theme back and got Scarlett back. Another guy HHH is gonna push to the moon.

Nitpicking with the hair but damn that was a perfect return! Those head bumps on the stairs were brutal for Drew and it was a great setup for their feud, plus sets a future storyline for Roman (similar to what they did in NXT, intertwining talents for future matchups). This is how you book monsters.

Ciampa in Raw and Kross in SD. WWE is again must watch finally!

HHH is going to fix the mistakes of the past with the mishandling of his guys. We will see the characters we saw succeeding at NXT finally get the chance they deserved on callup. Next guy that needs a HHH revival is Dominik Dijakovic. 6'7 monster athlete that has the look and the in ring skill to put on great matches and Vince buried him in retribution like a jobber.

Unless they wanted Liv to turn heel halfway through her reign like Bayley, making her the illegitimate champ was a mistake

Great job bringing back Kross looking much cooler with the leather jacket and Scarlett

Lol at them letting Drew call Reigns the Tribal Qweef

Damn completely forgot about Dijakovic. He may need to cut back and get lean again though if they want to utilize his high flying style back. Lessens injury risks

The (re)packaging was perfect. I was relieved that he won't be going against Cena or The Rock, knowing full well they'll mock his previous gimmick and might taint and dilute his monster persona

Buuuut then, Drew tweeted it instead smh

True. He would be a great heel to work off of someone like Riddle. The hard hitting, acrobatic matches they could have with each other would be great.

Theory's title reign would likely have some goons so this would probably be a good opportunity to use T Bar

I mean I can see them just bringing the way back Johnny gargano using theory to get the tittle odd the mosnters and Johnny stabbing him in the back for the tittle, in a double turn.

Who else is pumped for an angry Drew promo on Kross, Karrion interrupting with with some Tiktok line or Scarlett with a cryptic gaze, then Roman backstage not giving any Fs?

It took Triple H 2 weeks to bring some prestige back to the IC and US titles

Hit Row was a nice surprise. And never thought the first feud for Maximum Male Models would be Los Lotharios

That was the best Nakamura has looked in a while for me, liked how much damage they made Gunther take, really sold Nakamura's strikes.

Anybody else read that Vince had soured on Walter and was ready to bury him? Jeez him stepping down did a huge service to himself

gambitx777 · Post #57 » by **gambitx777** » Tue Aug 16, 2022 12:07 am

I did read that. I'm not sure. He was apparently the one that told Walter to get in shape which I don't have a problem with. But if Walter was gonna get barried I feel like they would have done that. Why not fee Walter to Roman and Roman could have had the other belt ? I just don't buy the story .

His IC title win was so fast, I could have seen Vince only pushing him to pump him up for Clash at the Castle and then burying him after. But HHH is surely a fan.

gambitx777 · Post #59 » by **gambitx777** » Tue Aug 16, 2022 12:22 am

With HHH in charge he has to be on the short list of people who are built enough to take that belt of Roman.

I mean it would be
Cody
Seth
Cross
Drew
Gunther

Maybe Bron?

But like there isn't a lot of people in the WWE you could believe could maybe pull off a mericle against Roman.
