I’m not mad about it, but I’m genuinely surprised that Shotzi Blackheart immediately jumped into a pretty prominent role on NXT tv.

Roman is a better wrestler than Mox and Cody and arguably Jericho now

Are you referring to only the in-ring here? I think if you consider the overall package, promos included, Roman is a good bit behind Cody and nowhere near Jericho.

Okay... Keep your head, Steve boy...

Having to ascend the tower like it's a Nickelodeon game show is a fun idea and a good example of the kinds of silly gimmicks shows should be doing while they have no audience. I'm sure WWE will still find a way to make it boring.

I don't buy that the Roman thing is out of spite, though. WWE, and Vince McMahon specifically, are all about controlling the narrative. Even with kayfabe not being what it used to be, they still like giving in-universe explanations whenever somebody's out, or they ignore things entirely when it's something they don't want to deal with (any of the billion storylines they've dropped midstream). They didn't have time to set up an excuse for Roman to be gone, so it's easier to ~maintain the fiction~ if no one reminds the audience that he's not there.

I find Roman's matches extremely dull and plodding, but I'd genuinely be interested to see what he could do outside of WWE's extremely formulaic style.

WWE’s plan was to repackage The Revival with new ring gear, and new music, with a completely different dynamic for the team as Vince McMahon had wanted to turn them into a comedy team.

We have received images that show the new ring gear, and look that Vince had in mind for The Revival, as he personally handed these photos to Dash and Dawson himself in their final meeting.

I'd be more likely to believe they were real if they weren't described as a comedy tag team. Despite everything I can't believe WWE would think The Revival would agree to be a weird comedy tag team, but I can believe WWE trying to pitch them on "you tried being two Arn Andersons, how about you try being two Jesse Venturas"
