They ****ed up with Ambrose having to feud with Wyatt. Ambrose was getting the biggest face pop of the night.
I know, of all the things they've messed up recently that is the one that ticked me off the most. He was getting by far the best reactions from the crowd, building momentum and then they inexplicably send him off to shoot a movie. He came back was still getting a good reaction, and then they put him in an extremely pointless feud with Wyatt that just involved a series of random, and very poorly booked hardcore matches. Both guys lost steam with that feud. He is a good talker, good worker, has size and he was getting a good reaction, now they are basically starting all over again with his momentum.
Bray Wyatt is facing Undertaker at WM. Dean Ambrose has an IC Title shot at Fastlane The two biggest matches of their careers too date. I don't see how being elevated from a "pointless fued" is basically starting over. That street fight and ambulance match was fun and great. When you have the talent that WWE has not everyone can main event WM or be the #1 contender. It doesn't mean they are being buried. I love Ambrose but I don't see him as a world champion yet ahead of Lesnar, Rollins, Bryan, Wyatt, Ziggler, BnB, Cesaro, Rusev. I think he's right where he should be on the card
Mildly disappointing by my extremely high standards for NXT. Really only the Woman's match and Balor/Neville lived up to the hype. It's irritating watching NXT and seeing how good the women's matches are and then seeing constant crap on the big show. Would have preferred they let the Owens/Zayn match come to a normal conclusion, but it's clear they are building this angle so I'm OK with it. Even less than spectacular NXT specials are still better than 90% of the WWE PPV's.
There's been nothing to suggest to me that Wyatt - Taker will be remotely entertaining. Sure, it's "freak v freak," but I feel like the luster of the Undertaker is over, after that loss to Lesnar last year. There's starting to be some balance on WWE. It's too bad, but I wish they could dissolve the WWE WHC and make it two titles again. All those names you mentioned (Dean, Rollins, Bryan, Ziggles, Cesaro, Rusev) and Cena, Sheamus, etc. could all be a legit champion, next to the WWE champion. But, it wouldn't make sense to dissolve the 1 into 2.
Takers fueds at WM over the last 6-7 years w/ Triple H, HBK, Punk & Lesnar have all been great. Wyatts promos have been outstanding.
Sure, but you go from HHH, HBK, Punk and Lesnar to Bray Wyatt? That's a huge step down. If Taker and Wyatt are going to go at each other, their promos better be spot on. In recent memory, I don't think anything will top Punk mocking Taker with the whole urn plot.
I doubt the whole urn thing at the end of that RAW before WM could ever be topped. But I think this will be the darkest/strangest lead in
Have you seen Taker recently? The guy is broken down, it isn't a step down. It is a chance to elevate a new guy
Maybe the day after Wrestlemania, he might show up on Raw. I like to see him go against the guys in the NXT roster than the main roster(Raw/Smackdown).

I think if Lesnar re-ups, they leave the belt on him at WM. Really would love too see Bryan v. Lesnar and then Rollins (cash in) though. The secondary titles are getting elevated with main event guys. Cena and Ambrose could be champs tonight
Rusev/Cena & Bryan/Reigns were two of the best matches I've seen on a PPV in some time. Wow. Reigns/Lesnar will be great. I've been watching a lot of NJPW's show on Friday Nights and it just had that feel of both guys laying it all on the line and hitting all their best spots. Seriously A+ for Cena & Reigns WM Reigns/Lesnar Wyatt/Undertaker Sting/Triple H Orton/Rollins Bryan/Sheamus maybe Ziggler Usos/Cesaro & Kidd Ambrose/BnB Cena/Rusev Ziggler, Ryback & Rowand v. Big Show, Kane & Harper?
