The live audiences are really into this Bella Sisters angle based on their reaction to Nikki's entrance, Brie showing up and telling Steph off and Steph's arrest. AND they popped pretty good for Paige's heel turn. I think these are very good things for the Division's future. Now if Paige and AJ can just put on the match we need them to this time instead of a total pissbreak like last night...

It's like if you give the Divas actual storylines people will enjoy them. It's like, both of these are pretty rudimentary so far, but it's better than the arbitrary nothingness the Divas are normally handed.

Their match last night was definitely rough in places, but hopefully they get time to work out the kinks.

I never knew I could love Dean Ambrose more than I did when he was part of the Shield. He's just so good at what he's doing. I do kind of wish Reigns would at least address the Rollins issue though. Even something as simple as :smug: With Ambrose after you, I don't have to worry about you.

I sorta see Ambrose and Reigns as using two different ways of carrying on the Shield's legacy.

We all know how Ambrose is doing his personal vendetta, fighting about the Shield being brothers and seeking to avenge his personal losses. His method of avenging the Shield is with beating the crap out of Seth Rollins anywhere, at any time.

Reigns and his strange lack of giving a crap, however, can easily be spun as him trying to keep the Shield alive in his own way. He's keeping the gear, the entrance, and the music, but taking it from the US and Tag titles straight to the world champion tier. He doesn't have to waste his time chasing Rollins: he knows he can beat the architect at his own game by rebuilding his castle better and stronger than ever before, and with that Money in the Bank contract Rollins would have to come crawling back by the year's end anyway.

Maybe we'll even get to see an Ambrose and Reigns clash, Shield-as-brothers vs. Shield-as-force.

There's a lot of water to be drawn from the Shield well. And of course, this leads to the sweet reunion bound to happen years down the line.

For all that the WWE fumbles around with most storylines, they've had perfect timing with the Shield. They didn't break up too early, but we weren't sick of them yet either, and they've managed to do something with each of them. It's much more careful work than they normally put into anything.

Why did Brock's shirt not say

BROKE 
 THE 
STREAK
or even

I mean, he can obviously wear whatever he wants, right? It's a no brainer for people to buy more shirts.

I think the implication is that breaking the streak is the sort of thing he does on the regular.
