205 Live has Jack Gallagher and Smackdown has Dolph Ziggler, I think the winner is clear

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Smackdown is better because it doesn't have Alicia Fox being used as a valet who's presented as the hysterical, man jumping, craaaazy woman of color stereotype. It's a funny gag when Dar says "gently caress," but she absolutely shouldn't be reduced to this role when she should be on a proper Raw's women division, and not the NXT Darlings Hot Potato Challenge belt.

I also totally get if people think this is taking it too seriously, but it just rubs me the wrong way.

Regarding Balor returning at WM to join HHH's planned group, I think Foochs already asked but what's the source on this?

Because if they follow up Rollins returning from injury as a heel with Balor returning from injury as a heel I think they've lost all semblance of what wrestling booking is :psyduck:

You can bring back Balor as a heel as long as you pair him up with the #1 face, Roman Reigns

Evil Prevails
The Big Dog Bow Wow Crew (BDBWC)comprised of Reigns, Balor, Owens, and Joe dominates WWE for the next 5 years, with Rollins as Crow Sting and Strowman as Lex Luger the only allied force that can stop them

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

Balor coming back to protect his mentor and get revenge on the guy who injured him and derailed his career is pretty much the most logical booking you could do so in this case bringing him back as a heel would make perfect sense.

The most logical booking they could do would be putting him right back in the Universal Championship scene.

Going to be hard when by the time he's back, Brock (and the belt) will never be around again or at least until like Summerslam

Before Randy's push was killed, Randy got huge amounts of time for matches and promos, very few of which were that good, and Batista mostly squashed people or was the second guy in a tag.

Balor will do something cool and get a big win and then be Roman's first feud after Mania because we can't have nice things.

Why the hell would anyone want Balor to come back as a heel so he can be squashed by Roman?

The only actual booking choices left for him when he returns are either "restart feud with Joe people were sick of 2 months into its run in NXT" or "random heel turn against the guy who genuinely did hurt him and cost him months of action and a title run". At least option B is something original
