I hope the two belt problem was solved last night with Flair stealing the big gold belt.

If Rollins' injury really is a work, can we just declare him the greatest seller of all time now?



Also I don't get the AJ/Paige angle, if they're going for insincere friends who descretly hate each other but are hiding it behind over the top civility, then why have paige declare that they're frenemies repeatedly? Isn't that kinda defeating the point of pretending to be friends if you just straight up admit that's not the case?

Because Paige stinks at anything that requires talking.

No she stinks at wwe's overly scripted non sense. In NXT she did some really decent to good segments where she talked. I think this story line might just be really stupid.
There is no doubt that the storyline is stupid, but Paige is not a good talker in the least. She's had plenty of opportunities to speak, and nothing, from her mannerisms to her emotions, comes across organic. Even the whole scream-o thing is cringe inducing.

I dunno she seemed absolutely genuine when she won the title, and I see nothing wrong with her scream at all. I think people here just like to pick on small things that I am sure will be fixed over time and experience. Just because every angle she has been put on is bad doesn't mean she is bad.

Oh I don't think she's bad; she's a good wrestler and really good for the women's division. I'm just not a fan of her out-of-ring work at this point.

Also, I was really hoping they were going to do something big with Flair, like turn him heel and align him with someone (Rollins?). The whole shaking The Shield's hands then winking at Triple H a couple of months ago seemed like a setup for something...but I guess not.

What is all this "backlash" they are speaking of? A small minority of twitter people needing something to get upset about like usual?

I'm really getting tired of this overly sensitive fabricated backlash.

There was no problem with what Lana said at all, and I hope Vince has the balls to keep plowing forward with this angle.

Jericho really needed a win as he's been jobber to the stars lately and hard to take seriously, but at the same time Wyatt also needs A LOT of huge wins.

I don't think this feud does anything for Wyatt unless he crushes Jericho cleanly. The Wyatt family interference has gotten very old.
