Strowman with any kind of belt seems like an awful idea. Yeah, he's big and scary looking. So what? His finishing move is to pick someone up and hug them to death. We don't need a singles match of that at every PPV.

I'm going to throw out the wild card for the Cena match to be ...... Braun Strowman.

As much as we want Daniel Bryan, or expect Tyler Breeze, you can't get past the fact that it needs to be a heel that puts Cena on the shelf for a few months. Breeze isn't that guy. But Strowman can be that guy. Pulls a Lesnar and just power moves the crap out of Cena. Cena mounts his Superman comeback and is blindsided Harper and Rowan, but out of view from the ref. Strowman gets the pin and the title, and the beatdown continues. Depending on the spot on the card, maybe Wyatt comes down and does a final Sister Abigail on Cena leaving him carted out on a stretcher. The beatdown needs to push the PG limits.

This does many things. Puts Cena out of commission. Gives Strowman a rub. Make it the protected property of the Wyatt Family. Strowman defends the US Title with the entire family ringside and just rolls the competition with help. I would also put the Tag Belts on Harper and Rowan, but that is another story.

Let Strowman carry the belt all the way until Cena returns. Huge pop for Cena's return and then it gets an easy PPV or two pre Wrestlemania with the Wyatt Family.

Vince is this you? The minute Strowman arrived we knew he would only be built up so Superman can finally overcome all the odds and bury the monster!

Just follow the exact script we used with Wyatt, Rusev, and KO.

I'll agree that Strowman by himself doesn't make sense. But you put the belt basically on the entire Wyatt family, then you have something.

I just don't see anyone on the current roster, that is not in a match, that could put Cena away for the time he wants off.

Theres always the Big Show or Mark Henry! Who doesn't want to see them every week?? :X

 
Replace Wyatt Family with New Day in the above scenario, and you have something interesting. Big E takes the title....Cena goes for the handshake of respect and gets a beat down instead...New Day gets heat by injuring Cena...they can drop the tag belts if WWE wants to give the Dudleys a 10th run.

That kinda seems like what they're leading up to

 
Awesome match.

Can't imagine there is anybody left that doesn't think Reigns is ready. He and Wyatt are both capable of being top dog.

What a shame they're wasting Rollins in this crap.
Click to expand...
It wouldn't be a shame if it were a retirement match. Kane is 867966 years past his prime and completely uninteresting to me. And why have a Hell in a Cell PPV if it's just gonna hang above the ring??

 
Rather decisive win for Rollins. It wasn't my favorite program, but he comes out it as a really powerful champion...good enough filler for his long title reign.

 
Roman beats bray in an amazing match.

Filler

Lesner and taker great match. Lesner wins clean

Wyatts carry takers body out after a beat down

Really good event.

 
I get that they are setting up a Survivor Series match, which is cool. Most likely Wyatts vs. Taker/Reigns/Dean/Kane or Brock?. And that should be a great match. The best thing about Survivor Series matches are that you can hide the old guys behind hot tags and quick in and outs. A nice in-match story would be in Dean or Roman refuse to tag in Taker because they are protecting him and just get the crap beat out of them.

That said.....

Would it have been better to have Taker motionless in the ring, the lights go out and the Wyatt family shows up and carefully removes him from the ring? Like a fallen Warrior King. Let the entire WM buildup be Taker handing over the Evil Power to Bray.

 
The promos said something to the effect of "Now we stand for him" ... wondering if Taker will even be in the match, maybe a different group of 4 fights for him somehow?

 
I wonder where they're going with Alberto Del Rio? Face or Heel? Zeb mentioned bringing people together, but it would be easy to make him an America hating heel who accuses us of being racist pigs who follow Trump and really want his people kept out behind a big wall. He could even tip Zeb off his scooter tonight on RAW.

I really hope this happens. Zeb and ADR are an odd pairing IMO. I don't see it :shrug:

I don't think ADR needs a mouthpiece cutting promos. I personally liked Ricardo Rodriguez announcing ADR to the ring and that's the extent anyone needs to talk for ADR IMO.

More than likely, we'll get Jack Swagger challenging ADR 2nite and they keep Zeb with ADR.

Maybe Zeb turns his back on the country. I'm really hoping to see ADR vs Cesaro soon.

Wonder what's next program for Rollins. Sting, then Kane, now.....Big Show? Henry? GOLDBERG?????

 
As great and historic and magical as Steve Austin's run in the WWE was, I'd wipe it all from existence if it meant I'd never have to hear that "What!?" chant again. It's worse than the wave.

I think the "This is awesome " chants have been played out as well.

 
Can we officially say that Reigns is over?? The crowd last night was light years away from the crapfest that was the Royal Rumble this year.

I don't mind that as long as it's deserved. Sometimes in NXT they do it like a minute into the match, which is kind of silly.

The "what" chants disrupt the flow of the promos, IMO. I get that it's fun to be part of the show when you attend a live event, but I wish people would keep in mind that people at home are watching too and their heckling is making it less enjoyable. Bray Wyatt had a pretty important promo after their actions at HIAC and I found those chants really distracting.

I think he's still disliked by the "cool kids" (20-something males in cities like Chicago and Philly). Once you get in their dog house it's hard to get out. But yeah, he seems to be getting more popular. I assume he'll get his title shot at Survivor Series, and I'm looking forward to it.

"This is awesome" should be reserved for matches after a series of great moves/spots.

"WHAT?" should be shot into the sun.

I just can't get behind the superman punch, it's just an absurd move, in my opinion. His spears have seemed to be getting progressively better but still aren't great. Other than that, I have been open minded to liking him.
