I'm just now realizing we could see Baron Corbin vs Brrrrrauuuuuunnnnn midway through the Royal Rumble. It's like a void.

The Royal Rumble loving owns. SmackDown loving owns.

I'm torn because My Boy Dean Ambrose can and should absolutely continue to elevate the IC Title (which Miz has been doing wonderfully) but I want a Dean/Cena World Title program SO GODDAMN MUCH. Ah well, that's the difference with SD; there's an oversaturation of GOOD possibilities.

I really dug Miz as IC Champion but after doing such a good job with it and based on his interactions with AJ Styles the last few weeks I'd love to see him pop back up to main event level.

There's a logjam though, unless you do, I dunno, Ambrose/Corbin and Cena/AJ/Miz Triple Threat?

He gets given a new job where every time Ziggler wants a title shot he has to beat Miz first, and he never does.

I apologize for the redundancy at the end of that statement.

i went to one of these wrestling shows and it was... honestly? frickin boring. i wanna see ricky! i want to see his gold chains and respect for the ftw lifestyle
the aj cena contract bit is one of the best contract bits i've seen, i usually dont like those very much. but after all of it, like aj's point is still kinda there, cena showed up after dipping out the last time aj beat him and just said "i get title shot now" and then he gets a title shot.

also holy poo poo it's crazy how much better aj has gotten on the mic in less than a year.

baron still sucks at promos though. i don't know why, i really like when he's vocal during matches but give him a microphone and he's runny dog shits.

Comfortable, i'd say. It seems he's really settled in and found the groove again.

If you watched Talking Smack last week there was a great bit where AJ points out that he beat Cena three times, Cena replies,"You didn't have me at my best, I had a bad shoulder an-" and AJ just cuts him off with the most gloriously smug,"Oh that's your angle, huh? You're gonna claim you were hurt when I beat you up?"

The moment before he exploded while Bryan and Renee are both hitting him with home-truths ruled too. He's just loving seething and it's the best.

Corbin's still getting the hang of in-ring promos, but he's gotten really, really good at Talking Smack promos. You can say some bad things about Corbin's first year on the main roster but drat if he hasn't steadily improved, despite that

Anyway.

Dean/Samoa Joe and AJ/Miz for Mania?

SmackDown is insanely good my friends, as is Talking Smack.

AJ STYLES owns, The Miz owns, Ambrose owns, Cena owns, Alexa owns, Becky owns, Baron Corbin owns, American Alpha owns, Wyatts own. Carmella is starting to be excellent?? Ziggler...might not be the worst hell turd anymore???????????

He's threading this crazy needle where if you are a "CENA SUCKS" person he's obviously cutting a heel promo directed at you but if you're a "LET'S GO CENA" type it comes off as baby face fire and it is glorious.

When WWE decides to do a 50 minute match they will work the cool down into the opening exchange too

No, he should not go back to the main event.

Are you all forgetting this is the pattern with the Miz? Does a great job being a midcard heel. Then he gets moved to the main event, and everyone gets sick of him real quick because he doesn't translate well to a main event heel. Then he gets sent to the midcard again to regain his heat where he does a great job. Rinse and repeat.

Quoting from the first page, but ADR wasn't a disappointment because he won. He was a disappointment because his final boss to winning was Santino and the match ended with a dud.
I would like to correct this. Santino did the "hiding under the ring" gimmick and immediately became the fan's last hope of stopping ADR from winning the Rumble. He was a joke but the end was really hot. It was similar to the Elimination Chamber that ended with Bryan/Santino. Just because you know it's not gonna happen doesn't mean they can't give you an entertaining story.

Dear God he has no hair. He's Corbin-ing.

agreed, he didn't used to look like this but after the Shield/initial Rollins feud he lost a lot of weight and got lax as gently caress in the ring. Roman puts on way better matches now especially since he can finally lift people for dos powerbombs
