Dean is face?

I actually thought of my ideal scenario. Styles retains until Rumble, loses to Taker. Taker/Cena happens at Mania, as does Ambrose/Styles, with the winner of Ambrose/Styles being #1 Contender. Cena and Ambrose win their respective matches, boom.

That'd make sense, keep everything clean, and add two awesome SD matches to Mania.

Well I guess yeah but by that logic so is Cena because Cena takes largely face actions but can be a dick/sometimes wrestles heel depending who he's facing if his opponent gets cheered more (which I believe Dean did against AJ once). That doesn't change that Dean is a tweener in the face role, which barring some major shakeup will be the case for the foreseeable future. I won't say tweener isn't a thing but saying "he's not a face, he's a tweener" is kinda silly when it's obvious said tweener is face-leaning. AJ is also basically a tweener but heavily leaning heel.

Do you think they'll have Bryan snap and put Miz in the Yes Lock at any point? Like, I don't expect them to ever let Bryan have a match, but I don't really see how this Miz/Bryan feud can end without any kind of physical interaction.
Dave thinks it's lose/lose since he thinks the fans would want Bryan to do more than a simple returning legend "hit the big spots on Heath Slater" segment, and I agree. And honestly, as great as Bryan was, he is now a legend, and it would be a tremendous waste to take the run of Miz's life and give the rub to a non-wrestler who he can't get any offense in on .

Then again, they keep returning to the rivalry even though they were reportedly quite skittish about building anticipation for a match. So who knows.

He should just go away for a few weeks is all. he's not gonna be fighting AJ for the title anytime soon(presumably) and other than.... chase.... Ellsworth.... which, I dunno it could be fun for a single episode but after that not sure what he can do.

He hasn't been bad but I think Ambrose needs to be the anti-Authority guy. As much as people poo poo on him for not becoming the next Austin I can't imagine how Austins rocket to the top would have gone without Vince

Shane is a golly shucks baby face and Steph is incapable of showing weakness, though. So barring that plot arc I'd like Dean to ease back

When Ellsworth tipped that ladder over, I was SO hoping he would set it back up, climb it, and take the belt down, thinking he'd won it, just to have it clobbered off of him by Styles


That was a good ppv, Kalisto and Corbin looked great, the right people won, and the show was short enough to fit right into my evening. Wwe putting the talking smack into the ppv recording instead of as its own broadcast was weird, but it meant I was kept guessing about how long the main was going to be

Why wasn't Becky the right person to win? Can't WWE learn how to book an interesting decently long babyface title run?

Nothing can fix Raw even before the brand split but all Smackdown needs is a couple more top faces. I like Dean Ambrose but he can't carry Smackdown as the top babyface alone week in and week out.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.
