The overall naming convention for NXT wrestlers has always been the same as the way Jack Donaghy attempted to name the Funcooker.

So going by the breakdown of how RAW's backstage happened, they had a talent meeting right before the show where HHH went into how everything was fine and nothing would change, but it also says that Vince showed up and took control right before the show started.

The mental image of HHH giving this huge rah-rah speech assuring everyone nothing bad was gonna happen, and then the second he leaves the room Vince struts in and starts tearing poo poo up is the most sitcom poo poo ever

Vince's diamond encrusted Nosferatu casket wheeled into the locker room on a handtruck, then he kicks the lid off as smoke billows out of it, right before he breaks into a tepid, half-assed, low energy old man acapella of "STAND BACK".

The whole fuckin' roster just has the air sucked out of the room moments later. As if their whole existence just got desaturated, ala Pleasantville.

Hopefully they team him up with Billikin Tannhauser and Ruffles Von Tuff Shed. Oh what a trios team that'd be.

Everything else is obviously perfect and fine in WWE, but at NXTTakeover, didn't Carmelo cheat to win, and then Bron went 'Oh well haha, still a great victory for you my friend' and wandered off, now he turns heel by attacking the dude whoi cheated to rob him of the title?

It's a bit weird.

I wonder if its a case of "Well, everyone knows your father is a piece of poo poo, no one is going to cheer for you now, so we might as well make you a heel."

Hey he's been cool like twice... for 20 mins.

Like when he was the sole survivor against HHHs team at Survivor Series that one time. Until Sting wandered down and everyone forgot about him.

And when he beat Alberto that one time.

Also i just thought of something. I'm gonna do a little power scaling here.

So on Sunday Cody and Roman battled equally for 30 minutes, kicking out of each other's finishers and everything (until Solo got involved of course). Then Brock came out and completely mollywhopped Cody without reprisal for 10 minutes. I think I've figured out how to get the belt off Roman, guys! I don't think he and Brock have had a match, but when they do, by the basic transitive property, Brock will easily defeat him and claim the Undisputed Championship.

"Wrestlemania" and "Monday Night Raw" are different canon instances so we have to as a best practice assume full power in each this is powerscaling 101.
