List of things ruined by not turning Roman Reigns heel months ago:

Roman Reigns
Seth Rollins babyface run
Finn Balor's shoulder
Rusev?

The entirety of Raw.


Also, remember when HHH turned on Seth and then disappeared for two months? Good times.

There was no reason for Mick Foley to weirdly insert himself into the signing.

Foley is brain damaged and is cruel that the WWE is using him whenever Stephanie or HHH doesnt want to do an awful segment.

I was impressed with Curtis Axel last night.

Then, of course, they book him to lose in his hometown.

Surely they could better spend their time just filming Dana Brooke flexing and posing in various outfits for 30 min? This woman has a lot to offer (just not performing in a ring).

Send Dana to smackdown. They can hide her weaknesses in the ring while she develops her character. Also one more reason to not watch Monday Night Raw

Because i think beneath the trainwreck factor she could be an entertaining part of the women roster.

Dana-Asuka was a fun match. We all know that Asuka is the best woman on the roster right now but Dana did her parts pretty well. Is a shame they rushed her to Raw and is unfair, for her and for Bayley, to be on the same show with all that divas revolution crap while they are given awful material to work with. The womens division should have been on SmackDown: Live a.k.a the good show.

the Axel thing is an attempt at gaining anti-establishment credibility for him in a "grass roots" way and hoping that it spreads. Dewey Foley wrote a few pages on the storyline and where it goes if it works, which impressed Vince enough to greenlight the whole thing immediately

Instead of sending Dana to Smackdown they should just give her the title on Raw, which they will at Wrestlemania.

I'm not sure hearing a non-stop "Roman Reigns" chant for 3 hours is going to make RAW any more watchable.
My favorite part of Roman Reigns chants when he actually gets one is that they can never decide how many syllables to chant.

"RO-MAN-RAY-AYNS"

Also Mick's promo was so loving dumb. He starts by telling everyone women can do anything, including murdering themselves in a steel cage, then spends 7 minutes yelling and Micksplaining to the frail ladies how awful the cell is and how they shouldn't do it. He does not say these things to the men who will also being doing the cell match that night.

Smackdown has a better womens division with just competent booking. There is a good woman wrestler vs a bad women wrestler who are fighting for a belt. There is no need for WOMENS REVOLUTION!, MAKING HISTORY or botch filled matches. They know how to write competent angles, the fact that they choose not to is a mistery to me.

When you remember that the entire point of the WOMENS REVOLUTION/MAKING HISTORY poo poo is to get specifically Steph and HHH over, it makes more sense.

Remember the Submission Sorority

Remember the teams fighting over the right to be the leaders of the Women's Revolution while totally ignoring the title
