The only reason I've shut the gently caress up about Neville is because they gave Sami a storyline and I don't want that to happen to Neville too.

Speaking of people who should gently caress off, can Mick Foley go away already? He loving sucks and forgot what the Universal title was for like 10 seconds last night. Also I hope Goldberg wins the Rumble and decides to go for the World title instead of the dumb strawberry belt

What's this about? I don't feel like fast-forwarding through all of RAW later to find a segment where Mick looks dumb, but am interested in seeing this clip where Mick looks dumb.

I'm guessing Brock either is also in the Rumble or just shows up to eliminate Goldberg to setup a Wrestlemania face-off which will be 100% less enjoyable than the Survivor Series match.

Sami's story is good because as everyone knows, the best wrestler story is amplified real life and Sami is a loser nerd IRL, so making him a loser nerd in-story is perfect.

so is this the WWE trying to do the underdog thing again with Sami? Because I don't think feeding Sami to Braun is cutting it by any means.

They think he's Daniel Bryan, but oddly enough if you try to bury someone to make them hot, instead of burying someone who is already hot, it doesn't loving work.

It could still work if he can get a win back or put up a really good fight over Braun. It won't happen because that makes sense though

Sami had the best match on the main roster (Zayn vs. Owens Battleground) and arguably NXT this year (DIY vs. Revival might have beaten out Zayn vs. Shinsuke) and now they're feeding him to Braun.

Braun needs someone like Zayn to work with because he's still pretty green, and overall it will probably make him a better wrestler. But this program is going to hurt Sami, especially with his last two PPV showings being losing to Jericho for no reason and losing to The Miz with stupid heel bullshit that's honestly getting a little tired (I'M GETTING WORKED AAAAAA).

But the Miz is great and he should be IC champ untill a red hot babyface is ready and he should not drop the title again to Dolph loving Ziggler.

Cruisers currently have to do the following:

Raw
205 Live after Smackdown (at Smackdown)
House Shows
NXT Tapings
NXT House Shows

Not all cruisers have to do NXT stuff but there are more than a couple pulling double duty.

No, cruisers are still on Raw and also have 205 Live, their own show. It's entirely possible, though, that they just won't use the same people on a given week unless it's necessary. (LOL wishful thinking, WWE doesn't give a poo poo about rigorous travel schedules LMAO)

who is left, though? unless they rocket Tye Dillinger into SD (they won't) who is left? Miz hasn't had any interaction with the Wyatts, might as well start that program so you can give Bray his first belt maybe? that's if he doesn't feud with AJ first.

p.s. bray wyatt is a face and has been since the bray+roman tag team

He should have lost to Zayn so Zayn would have something besides being killed to do and so Miz could move on to the world title scene

As is, now both won't progress for a while, Dean will get 3 more shots that go nowhere, and Braun will get a toy that isn't a belt

Bray has held the FCW tag titles with Bo Dallas, but I believe that he was still Husky Harris at the time. Other than that, yeah, he needs to do something with a belt. He deserves it.

Lou Parper held the IC belt for a hot minute, but that was around the time the belt was slingshotted back and forth between him, ambrose, ziggler, and miz or whoever else was there.

I still wish Sanity was just brought in outright as more Wyatt swampmen and sprinkled throughout both brands to create a feeling of "holy poo poo this man's cult is going to rule over everything"

That was the only time Bray was a face.

They should turn the Wyatts face and have Bray/Orton vs. AJ and whichever one they don't go with against Miz.

But I think Smackdown has to turn either the Wyatts or AJ because they have a severe lack of credible faces right now. Cena and Taker don't count since they don't work full schedules.

exactly, no need to complain about Goldberg because he owns and loving KO/AJ/Samoa Joe/Nakamura are the top mens in this company. Goldberg is a way cooler Final Boss and whoever takes him out is going to get monster heat in the Rumble.

Judging by history and his current push trajectory I'm gonna say it's Bray and his ilk, much like how he dumped Bryan out years ago and also hosed up Brock (which lead to nothing) at the Rumble.

If it's not Bray Wyatt then let us have our Cesaro / Goldberg fight

Not to mention the tier below the tippy top includes Ambrose, Rollins, Jericho, Roode on NXT, Asuka and Becky among the ladies... the only indy darling who is truly getting poo poo on while deserving better right now is Sami.

I have to say it's quite smart gradually turning New Day into shithead annoying heels just as people started getting sick of them. The whole thing about desperation to cling to the titles to beat the record by any means necessary is a lot of fun at a time when they were getting really stale to me.
