Using the releases in promo's is just pathetic imo.

It is. Surprised they did that, especially used Edge. It was insensitive

Was really hoping a drip off feud

Rk-bro joins the list of funny dysfunctional tag teams that have success.
Kind of like:
Austin and HBK
Austin and Dude Love
Austin and Taker
Austin and Angle
Sensing a trend here with Austin :P

Bob Lashley should 10000000% be with that tittle right now. He's so polished and so good. He doesn't have long left I'm sure so use him while you have him and quit wasting him.

After years of mediocrity Orton really turned it up since Edge came back. I wasn't watching wrestling during his prime so as of like 2019 I was wondering how on earth he has nearly as many titles as people like HHH and Cena.

I'd go Lashley as champion defending against Royal Rumble winner Lesnar at Wrestlemania, or Big E gets beat by Lesnar sometime in the next few months and defends against Lashley. It seems like the ideal big draw match for them and they need it since if the Smackdown match is Reigns vs McIntyre would be only an OK WM main event to me. You could then have Big E have his dream big slappy meat match against Goldberg to have 3 matches between monster guys like at Crown Jewel. I tried to think of a scenario where Rollins wins and forms a faction with Owens as champion but I just don't know which babyface he'd defend against, maybe face Styles, although I really like the idea of Styles vs Edge as the potential 5 star of the card. I thought Rollins was about to take the title off Big E at the start of this PPV cycle but now I wonder if he's just going to be in a tag team storyline with Owens for the foreseeable future.

I really want them to get moss and boogs away from Barron and Nakamura and put them with Elias and form a trio of mean heal badasses.

Man, that was an entertaining Raw. Lesnar showing a personality and cutting another thinking man's promos rather than just being The Beast is such a refreshing change. As much as I like hearing Heyman talk, I'd like him to talk less in order to defer more to Brock. Otherwise, it makes Brock look like his old Beast character - which had become tiresome. Brock's done a great job of reinventing himself.

Lashley winning the 4-way was obvious, but it was still great. And it's fun to speculate what happens with Roman on Smackdown - they were smart to have Brock emphasize he has plans for Roman on Friday. The whole show was entertaining - even Doudrop's promo was surprisingly good.

If 2 years ago I told you that WWE's championship picture would be centered aroubd Lesnar-Reigns-Lashley and possibly world title unifications most would have been disgusted. If I would have also told you it would be must see tv and one of the best story lines of the year I would have been laughed off of the internet.

Major props to WWE creative for turning around the perception of those 3 superstars and really making it a must to see. Sprinkling KO-Seth-Big E only added to it.

Yeah they are doing gold with the main event scenes. Times the mid cards and tag divisions suffer but man the main events are must see spectacularas. That fatal 4 way puts anything AEW does in blast. Those 4 guys went out on cable and put on a paper view 4-5 star match.

I wouldn't mind seeing K.O. in the U.S./IC title scene. Have him and Seth keep working together. Seth wins the rumble and gets in on the unification match(Lesnar-Roman-Rollins). In return Rollins helps him win either of those titles.

Gotta give them credit the title picture is looking pretty good right now. Makes sense to have their 3 toughest and most believable guys involved

Yeah man they need to get the us tittle picture pumped up. K.O. lifting that tittle up and getting him and Rollins into the tag title scenes better would be amazing.

Priest and Dolph have been killing it lately. Easy to overlook with what's going on with the WWE title.

Not sure if I'd want anyone from the main event scene "stepping down" to the midcard title. I'd rather elevate someone else to the US title scuffle and keep those guys at the top and extend the program until maybe half of the year.

I caught more of Raw on Monday than I usually do, and also caught them saying “he’s going to unleash his Damian side!!” about 54 times as well. Seriously, they must’ve gotten an extra 10 grand every time they said it or something.

Honestly they have to stop emphasizing that alter ego gimmick. It's working but too much of something won't be as effective and will lose its luster

Great main event and Ziggler and Priest was also good. But I'm really surprised Lesnar vs Lashley isn't a Wrestlemania, interested to see what they passed that up for. With it being rumored that McIntyre was supposed to face Reigns at RR before his injury it's possible they'll just do Reigns and Lesnar at Wrestlemania maybe with it ending with Brock 2 belts.

WWE bold decision to make Lashley champion a year ago despite being a 44 year old guy at the time who had been in midcard and Lana type storylines for years was one of the best decisions they made in a long time. I always thought there was something underrated about the way he talked with the boyish type of voice weirdly helping, it's not like he's a guy that goes out and gives long promos in the ring, but it feels more natural than someone like McIntyre trying to make 10 year olds mark by being Scottish warrior guy with stories etc.

Yeah he's doing good in ring work but man.... Can we please.......... Drop this terrible gimmick that's going no where. He doesn't need it he was getting over before just being cool guy doing cool things.
