As much as we complain about WWE right now, there have been so many great matches this year

I think that's a lot of the pessimism. Some of the guys who put on those matches are either being misused or are injured.

I would laugh for eternity if Lesnar won the title at Summerslam, Rollins comes out to cash in, and Brock Lesnar just DESTROYS him for attempting such a feeble task.

I'm picturing Rollins at ringside, cheering on Cena during the match, but when Lesnar wins, he just turns around and walks away.

I would love it if they booked Lesnar so strongly as a monster that the MITB holder won't risk it even after a 25 minute or so match.

Lesnar wins, then we see Triple H and Steph literally having to physically push Rollins towards the ring while he shakes his head and tries to get away.

Yeah Vince likes Lawler cause Lawler ran his own territory and also didn't put up with Vince's poo poo and quit on him.

I know, it's weird. Motivations make sense, the heel's an rear end in a top hat and the face is a crazy hobo who's less of an rear end in a top hat... what's going on here?

Don't worry, this is WWE, there's a good chance they'll find a way to gently caress it up. Suddenly interference instead of a pinfall!

This may or may not be correct.

What happened between Wyatt and Flair, anyway? Did Bray ask a totally harmless question about Charlotte?

e: oh, so that's it. For some reason I was imagining some kind of backstage altercation.

Few news bits from PWInsider:

  • The Big Gold Belt is supposed to be retired now
  • All new belts after Summerslam with new logo.
  • Ricky Steamboat is done with WWE (he was a road agent)

New belts tells me that there's a strong possibility those midcard belts are being unified. An easy scenario I came up with would be to have Cesaro win the IC and then he can face Sheamus to unify them at Summerslam.

I wonder if they'll keep a similar design with the WWE title, and just replace the scratch logo with the new logo.

I wish they'd bring back the unified title design. That was one of my favorite belts. :(

This except replace Cesaro with the Miz. Already have a built in feud with Sheamus.

I hope they ditch the current design because it's ugly as hell, but they'll probably just change the logo like you said.
