Maybe Ambrose should join Bray, it seems like being his henchmen is a good way to end up in the main event.

The people in charge of WWE are the strangest paradoxes. I guess it's a side effect of being micromanaging control freaks.

They didn't fire him for it, he was never going to survive because Stephanie was waiting in the wings.

I hope the epic ballad of Rowan and Renee isn't dropped, I wanted to see where that goes. Seeing how Renee deals with a Jason Vorhees goat guy is the match I'm waiting for, a psychological match of the mind!

Also, please let Brock appear at Survivor Series, or on the RAW after. Give us some Beast.

Just like Cena beating Laurinitis, I'm pissed about heel authority figures having opponents for longer who make way more sense being thrown to Cena to be the guy who beats them in the end.

Also, I give them a week before they replace them with some other heel authority figure storytelling crutch. This won't change poo poo.

Nobody move and nobody gets hurt.

Guys, this is obviously all a part of Bray's long-term plan to destroy the machine. He's positioned a henchman on either side of the match, with no one suspecting that they're working together. Bray will show up for the finish of the match, the Family will lay everybody out and his version the Ministry will rise to power.

Triple H cut a better babyface promo tonight about how WWE his is life and his family's life and how it defines his very being and it was better and more passionate and more belivilble than any Cena promo I've ever heard. I hope the authority smashes John Cena's smug cube-shaped head in on Sunday.

Butt first, let's

Erick Rowan? Seriously? If you had me pick who I'd put on Team Cena I really think Rowan might have been the absolutely last person. And people are actually into the idea of "Hulkamaniac" Evad Sullivan 2.0? We've somehow found ourselves in a place where people want the worst of terrible pre-nWo WCW booking?

This is just an elaborate prank, right? Rowan didn't join Team Cena.

It's a product of living in the wrestling bubble; Meltzer has said many times that their attitude is "it's just wrestling, everyone knows it's fake nowadays so it doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense." Which to me is mind-boggling because it demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of other types of fiction. Like can you imagine the writers of Game of Thrones going "oh well everyone knows it's fake so let's just do whatever, doesn't matter"?

I think the problem is they don't see themselves as producing a work of fiction but as something that's supposed to be real, even though they completely ditched any pretense of that years ago. So you end up with this weird rear end cognitive dissonance programming where the one thing that they think makes wrestling work is no longer in play so just throw whatever out there because it doesn't matter anyway.

It's still especially weird because, the guy who made a show bible and storyboarded storylines, Chris Kresky, was mocked by Steph for doing that...when Kresky was the head writer for WWE's most lucrative year ever.

Also the time when the stories made the most sense, and everyones relationships were solid and made SENSE and called back to previous events because we can assume that people are STILL WATCHING.

They didn't actually do any "Rowan is a Cena fan" bit, people are just guessing at his motivation. It's more likely to be that he hates Luke Harper since Harper used to smack him around. Harper only joined the Authority at the end of last RAW, so that tracks with Rowan not joining Cena until now.

Or maybe Rowan got confused and thought he was Sheamus. Or maybe the stuffed animal told him to do it. Who knows.
