A Mick Foley style multiple gimmicks could have worked, but only if he was known as Kruger in the main show before, enough so that people would notice. Or care.

They could do it the opposite way. Where we know him as Rose first, and then when he snaps he starts calling himself Leo Kruger and acting like a weirdo mercenary.

His last advertised/scheduled appearance is next week's Raw. He really does have to go and start promoting the movie now, so I think he really is gone this time.

I expect he'll be back later. hopefully he'll have his cardio in order when he does so it's not like when he first came back earlier this year.

Let's all just send WWE a series of increasingly ridiculous fantasy booking ideas for Alicia Fox. If nothing else it might amuse the people who run the website, since I'm sure 99% of their inboxes are "omg cena suxxxx bring back cm punk".

I'm gonna be the guy complaining about the OP this week. The detailed recap for promos is great, but do we really need every detail of every match too? A simple summary is fine, we don't necessarily need to know every single spot. Like, "RVD fought Cesaro in a dogshit match which Cesaro won with a German suplex after BNB distracted RVD." I think this is easier than reading about every single punch.

I watched the most recent NJPW show last night, even with the Gracies I think I made the right choice.

I did tune in to Raw to see Daniel Bryan and Stephanie say absolutely nothing.

Will Payback be the end of the Cena-Wyatt feud? I can't think of a satisfying end to the story, Cena simply winning when Wyatt doesn't care about wins and losses doesn't seem good enough. I don't see any good feuds for either guy either, Wyatt's already feuded with all the other top faces and Cena with all the top heels.

Yeah that's kinda the problem with this feud. The stakes are so muddled, guys roles aren't clearly defined, I don't think anyone involved has a plan.

The roster is so shallow right now that they can't really make Cena look weak, but I don't see how he gets out of this looking stronger than before it started.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I guess they could go with what they should have done at Wrestlemania, have Cena win by maybe choking Bray out with a ring rope or something and just have Bray smile as he passes out.

Then it'll be undone when Cena goes and hugs the crowd, but what are you gonna do?

Cena beats Bray but had to become a monster to do so, thus ultimately proving Bray's initial argument, that Cena was a monster.

Oh he's already weak, according to Dave it's hurting him overall and long overstayed its welcome.

You know, if you drop the kid/crowd stuff (that they've dropped now anyway) and you switch the results of Mania and ER, this feud almost makes sense.

Bray beats Cena at Wrestlemania due to intereferences, Cena challenges Bray to a Cage Match where there can be no interference.
Cena can't beat Bray in the cage match in a straight up fight, so he escapes the Cage, Bray challenges Cena to a Last Man Standing match, so Cena can't simply run away.
Cena wins the Last Man Standing match by going full brutality, Bray can't answer a ten count and wins the war (proving Cena is a monster) but loses the battle (Cena beat him)

End Result: Even though Wyatt lost two matches, he was never pinned. And looks like he's "Broken" the no.1 babyface in the company. Cena has a new character trait to work through for the next couple of months or at least a feud, thus giving a chance to get people reinvigorated (yeah right)

This requires being a competent writer though. And making Cena look vulnerable. Was never fated to be.
