Hmmmm, Raw desperately needs faces. It's about time for Drew and Dolph to break up and a big angle could really catapult Drew into the main event....

TIME TO TURN DOLPH FACE!

You say this, but bad booking has made me no longer understand alignments. I mean, Dolph, clearly a heel, is also definitely the Face in his ongoing spat with filthy cheater, and possibly only man less likable and more irrationally full of himself than Dolph Ziggler, Shane McMahon.

If Carmella is a face now, she's technically the top women's face on Smackdown, based off of creative apparently saying both Charlotte and Becky are heels, her being a recent champion, Asuka being a geek, and the ridiculous pop (Pop of the night, even!?) for her pin on Tamina.
~~~
If Bray came back next week Raw would have four faces.

Otherwise... uh...... they could promote Lars Sullivan as a face, guys! That'll get over, right?

Turn Roode heel, for the love of God, and we could have Gable as a face.

I'm not reading all of your bad fantasy booking, but

Daniel Bryan retires to become a farmer but buys a tract next to Brock lesnars farm. minor disputes over water rights and property lines escalate into cattle rustling and field burnings. the blowoff is a no dq barnyard deathmatch at wrestle mania which ends in a no contest when the wyatts ghost tractor returns and lays them both out

They easily could have had Dean say that he's glad Roman has cancer, which is still an awful thing to say and makes him clearly the Dude You're Not Supposed to Cheer.

Saying that Roman's cancer is a punishment from god is probably super fun to hear for, oh I dunno, the countless children using their make-a-wish to meet wrestlers?

Can't post for 33 days!
Becky is the Black Scorpion and Ronda brings out THE SHOCKMISTRESS, who is actually Nia Jax, to fight her and Charlotte. When she trips over the poorly constructed set, her glitter-coated Captain Phasma helmet flies off and hits Becky and Charlotte with great force, putting them both in comas. For this Nia is rewarded by beating Ronda for the title and getting to potato the women on both rosters with impunity.

That Daniel Bryan vs Brock match was wild. I was so used to seeing Brock destroy people that it legit made me get into it after Bryan fought back.

I mean we all knew the result was going to be the same but it was good to see a competitive match for once. Still not sure about heel Bryan but it's better than goober face Bryan with WWE's bad writing. Also shows Brock can still put on an exciting match and sell really well when he actually gives a poo poo.

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
Like people were saying in the PPV thread, Brock must really respect the hell out of Bryan if he's willing to put on an actual match with him and sell huge for him, as opposed to the usual hoss-off that Brock's matches consist of.

Orange Carlisle
Jul 14, 2007

Yeah he went through the entire range of Brock facial expressions and super selling and everything else. It was surprising and very cool to see. I haven't seen a Brock match like that in quite a while. Even took some stiff looking knees and didn't freak out. Then again Bryan is really good at making them look stiff and being safe so that was probably why.

If Roman had turned Tombstone botch into a reverse DDT or something, he would've let him off with just the Mumps, but when he tried to pick him up again, his fate was sealed.

Would you be my new best friends?

BRAUN!'s injury just serves as a further example of why putting all your eggs in one basket is such a bad idea. Everybody has been sacrificed at the altar of Roman and then suddenly he has to be removed from the picture, and now the only guy who ever actually got to look somewhat strong against him and Brock (kinda) needs surgery.

This basically leaves Seth Rollins as the defacto top face, as far as I can tell. The next closest is Finn Balor, who I love but has been just losing over and over and over again for months now.
