You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Stephanie was great.
Roman was a little bit better.

Roëmænce is ælive!
I thoroughly enjoyed Raw. The Randy face turn I could do without (he's Miz-level "I don't want to see you face" to me), but besides that, I got Miz and Mizdow, THE BIG GUY, Ziggler having a prominent role in the episode, Mark Henry beating up Show, Ambrose beating up a wrestler I'm not as big on as all y'all (so it's funny), Korporate Kane losing again (which is just funny), I got to see my favorite member of the Shield (during its run, Ambrose has topped Reigns since), and all my favorite wrestlers are still champions.

e: Except Tyler Breeze.

Hopefully this doesn't mean he's abandoning his awesome personality for generic WWE Babyface.

Either he's a legit good actor or he actually enjoyed playing the role of a face again. I think it's the latter and I'm happy he's back and the crowd loved him.

Was it just me or was Roman's segment short and pretty weak? I can see why there is now some rumored hesitation pulling the trigger on him.

So who is team cena and who is team authority?

Well I guess it depends on whether or not Seth/Orton is going to be a singles match right off the bat but I'm guessing:

Team Authority: Rollins, Kane, Harper & Rowan on loan from Bray

John Cena's Second Team of Stupid Idiots: Cena, Orton, Dolph, and Reigns if he's recovered from surgery

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

My guess is

Team Authority: Rollins, Kane, Rusev, and Henry
Team Cena: Cena, Ziggler, Show, and Orton

I'd round out the Survivor Series card like this:

Ambrose vs Wyatt
Something like Sheamus, Usos, Swagger, and Ryback vs. Goldust, Stardust, Cesaro, Miz, and Mizdow
Divas Title Match: AJ vs Paige VIII, probably
Team Nikki vs Team Brie

And I'd throw together a NXT match too on my fantasy card. I don't watch regularly but something like Zayn, Devitt, KENTA, Kalisto, and Sin Cara vs. Neville, Ascension, Kidd, and Breeze could steal the show.

isn't survivor series 5 on 5? anyway I don't see Rusev on a team because they still don't want to pin him.

The fans were super loving psyched to see Ryback last night. They popped like a bomb.

Ryback Rules.

e; also, Bo did a super job of selling Ryback as a threat considering he has been the drizzling shits in terms of win/loss as long as he has been a tag guy. Someone gif that expression change on Bo's face as Ryback's theme hits

Axel was on Raw. He was one of the last men to come running out at the end (Seamus was sandwiched between Axel and Adam Rose).

I think until they come up with better reasons for Bray to do things, I'm done with the character. Its just tedious now.

"Bray, why did you do thing?

" Because crazy stuff. Hahahahaha!"

The slight change in aesthetic actually works and makes him more menacing. But drat if I can't give poo poo about his motivations. Since there aren't any.

Looking at the gif, the RKO looks so good because Rollins doesn't leap into it. So many guys make that mistake and it takes away from the impact. It looks like the RKO should look, grabbing a dude's head and planting him.

If I was to take a guess on the number, I'd say it's 845k. And releases? Axel, JoJo, Matadores.

For Cesaro, it feels like he is on the backburner because they are waiting for him to find some kind of character. The guy does great matches, and thats about it. It seems like they want him to do his own promos since they took away Zeb/Heyman away from him. It also seems like they want to hold onto a good midcard heel. However if thats what they want him to develop, then I'm not sure why you hardly ever see him get chances to talk.

I'm bummed I watched that whole main event and was getting into it when they did yet another DQ finish.

I really should have expected the DQ but I figured there was no way they'd do a gently caress finish after like 20 minutes of wrestling!

All of Cesaro's character have been complete duds except when he ALMOST turned face at Wrestlemania. They should have just pulled the trigger on that, because he's a complete bore as a heel at this point. Sure, the guy puts on good matches, but that doesn't mean anything when you have literally no character.

Also, I'm hoping that Bray set Rowan and Harper free so we wouldn't see Wyatt family interference in literally every Bray Wyatt match.

Claudio's enhancement talent and is married to the lead female trainier in NXT. They're probably paying him a nice amount for his skills to be able to go reliably pull a good match out of anyone, much like X-Pac was able to do back in the days. I'm sure he's making enough to live comfortably, and while he would like to go further, is fine with helping the younger talent and making them look good. Would it be nice if he got a title run in the end, yes, but I don't think he's going to be going anywhere. If he does get released from talent duties, I could see them keeping him as an NXT trainer or something similar to that. Trips would be completely nuts to just let a talent like that walk.

Less "going after" and more seeing her as someone who is ultimately expendable, isn't in the role she was hired and guessing she has a more expensive contract than other Developmental workers.

Also it'd be hilarious that WWE would release someone like Cesaro who is incredibly prominent in the lead commercial for their video game & has a lot of intangibles that helps them internationally.
