    It's kayfabe but to me it was part of the problem with booking the demon version of Finn. Kind of the same with the booking of Brock, where he's so strong his only weakness is groin shots.

    WWE seems like they're rushing everything but I could be wrong. So that means we get swasuke vs Joe at takeover Brooklyn 2???

    RAW is going to great

    Anderson & Gallows vs The Usos confirmed. This could be Balor's spot.

    WWE is putting together maybe it's best roster ever with guys who can go in the ring and with the exception of Styles & Jericho all my fave matches so far have been talent pushed through NXT.

    After WM raw should become the official way too introduce the next wave of NXT, every year. Shinsuke, Joe, Bayley, Asuka,American Alpha,Revival,

    Finn is almost at king troll level by now. He got caught on tape at a house show in Poughkeepsie talking about how he was going to be staaying in NXT and take back his belt, then on Instagram he posts:

    Looking forward to tonight's go-home RAW tonight...Anderson/Gallows make their debut, we get to see how the AJ/Roman story develops, get to see Zayn, Owens, Jericho, Ambrose, and Cesaro in some capacity. I also think Shane will be running RAW again tonight. And John Cena announced via Twitter his return date...

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">They said the surgery recovery time is 9 months, but I’m ready to go in 5. This <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MemorialDay?src=hash">#MemorialDay</a> Cena is back on <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Raw?src=hash">#Raw</a>. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NeverGiveUp?src=hash">#NeverGiveUp</a></p>&mdash; John Cena (@JohnCena) <a href="https://twitter.com/JohnCena/status/724644242224746498">April 25, 2016</a></blockquote>
    <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

    I understand that Cena is Vince's #1 guy but I think he should use that time to rest a little bit more, he will still be in the main event/title picture when he does come back, that injury history of his just gets longer when he comes back ahead of initial prognosis. I understand his workaholic mindset, but every now and then, some real rest is a good thing (especially when you know your spot in the "pecking order" will still be there once you return). WWE has been much more interesting since WM, and everyone we deem important has been getting some good screen time.

    NJPW owns the copyright and is still making too much money on it.

    WWE should form a partnership where a few top guys work select shows for the other company

    Bullet Club is not complete without Finn and Omega. Gallows and Anderson and Styles better come up with a new name.

    Omega wasn't even an original member... So by that logic the real bullet club hasn't been complete for the past year and a half or so. If there was ever going to be a "complete" bullet club again WWE has all the marquee guys.

    But They are coming up with a new name regardless.

    Are you saying Omega is not a marquee guy? I strongly disagree with you 100% You sound like I was making a dis at styles and company. Which I did not. Just stating that they should come up with a new name in WWE, which I stand corrected. With all due respect K-Low

    I love omega and I'm not saying he isn't a marquee guy in the general sense of the word.
    I'm saying he wasn't a marquee original member so I don't think it makes sense to say its not the bullet club without him... I dont think anyone is missing bad luck fake or Tonga right now so of the original 4 Devit and Anderson are the "marquee" guys.

    Either way they wont be bullet club, they are becoming something new altogether, whether its with Styles or Balor or both. Bullet club doesn't necessarily translate here like it does in Japan I mean beating up Roman Reigns and the Usos doesn't really give them any heat. Where as in Japan beating up anyone like that gets you tons of heat just because they hate cheating and stuff but in America we are so used to it that it doesn't really do anything.

    I'm more interested as to what direction they try to push this new faction, cause they are playing heels but to be a real heel you need a face to feed off of and AJ is the top face as of Monday night.

    No matter how much people say they hate Cena I think 99% of people would rather he be there than not... Hell at mania i Popped for Cena when his music hit than i was like "oh wait, Cena sucks."


    Which was the general feel in my section, everyone cheered than was like oh yeah its fun to boo this guy.

    So Ric Flair told Nattie to "kill herself" at Smackdown tapings.

    He's lost it.

    On top of the more obvious reasons for this being abhorrent, his own son recently just committed suicide.

    See how Teflon he is - he got away with kissing Becky Lynch recently too.

    Charlotte needs to go it alone anyway. Get the old man off TV.

    He really has aged into being Dustin Hoffman as Ratso Rizzo in Midnight Cowboy. Using Charlotte as his meal ticket off the streets.

    He should be and probably will be taken off TV for that.

    John Cena is a much better performer that Reigns, and it's not close. Reigns is a terrible talker, and only a decent in ring performer on top of a Superman treatment that even Cena doesn't get.

    Cena gets a ton of hate (myself included) but it's mainly because his character has long since grown stale, and he virtually never loses unless it's an epic screwjob. Having said that he's been involved in a number of great matches despite his limited moveset. On the mic he is a comfortable, and charismatic talker. He's no Stone Cold or CM Punk, but a Cena promo has never been awkward. Cena has worked an extremly heavy workload over the years, given he worked 4-5 nights a week, he needed to have a reliable (if repetitive) move set, and you can only say so much when you talk as much as he has and can never say anything edgy.

    Tired of his character, but I respect the performer. Can't say the same for Reigns because I have yet to see anything that makes him Main Event worthy.
