    She has the best entrance music of all the Divas. I admit I get hype whenever her music hits and her sexy ass comes out. Would be awesome if she won the belt. Threw the Divas belt in the trash and brought back the Women's Title. That Divas belt is so gaudy

    HHH vs. Reigns is not a bad matchup IF they add/bring in guys like HBK, DX/Kliq, Vince, Shane O'Mac, etc. on Triple H's corner and while The Rock, Usos, Rikishi and the rest of the Samoan family are in Roman's corner at WrestleMania XXXII.

    The guys mentioned above can be involved in this storyline in the weeks leading up to Wrestlemania.

    Just wanted to highlight that.

    While the PG wrestling has no bearing on whether a match is great or not...it does add to the weight of the match.

    I mean it would be cool if they would realize this and every once in a while for big matches allow the wrestlers to bleed, it made those old matches seem like complete war.

    The sad part is that the wwe footage will be the reference material for the public if they look back at Styles' career in the wwe. Compare that with Jericho's debut footage which captured the whole experience, and is evidence to one of the biggest pops of the era. We've been robbed of having a similar chill-inducing moment.

    Shinsuke was stripped of the IC Title, his last days in NJPW are the 29th & 30th. He'll be in the performance center in Feb before debuting on the main roster

    I argued it on forums the lack of appeal of a Roman vs. HHH Marquee Mania Main Event and this sentiment is exactly how I feel:

    That being said the WWE has a large task ahead of them when they hoped to create the biggest Mania ever with trying to pack a 100,000 seat stadium in Texas while having a bunch of injured stars, unavailable stars and retired stars not set on wrestling (Austin, Punk etc.)

    HHH vs. Roman makes story sense but its not WM Mania Main Event sexy, thats why I hope it'd be resolved at Fast Lane. As much as I wouldn't like a repeat, I'd rather have Roman vs. Lesnar at WM again in the Main Event. It'd be a travesty for Brock to be in a ho-hum match with the Wyatts who've proved they are nothing but intimidating looking jobbers to the stars.

    Roman beats HHH at Fast Lane. Lesnar destroys the Wyatt Family at Fast Lane. Roman vs. Lesnar at Mania. Roman wins and turns heel and joins the Authority having "earned respect" of the McMahon Family by beating HHH etc.

    The reason why no one can come up with something interesting for last night is that 1 vs all bull**** should have never happened in the first place.

    It's so hard to salvage anything good out of that garbage idea without divulging into complete randomness that WWE would never do anyway.

    Reigns vs HHH doesn't need the title. What's their plan to make Reigns a 3x World Champion? :confused:

    So damn stupid and makes title reigns (lel) meaningless.

    Creative needs to understand that everyone is sick of these "overcoming the odds" storylines at this point. It was fun with Daniel Bryan b/c he's a midget and it seems realistic.

    It's not fun with Cena and Reigns anymore.

    They need to stop. Make them human again.

    It shouldn't take 20 guys worth of interference and all the odds stacked against him to beat Reigns. He's not that important yet.

    The only guy who looks worthy of that is Brock.

    Roman could take an angle that the Rock took. Before going Corporate, go heel with a faction or partner. It kind of sucks now that it seems every heel is corporate except the Wyatts. But if he could do that and then earn the respect of the crowd and go face and then right when they love him the most go Corporate like the Rock did it would be great for him. He could address all the hate from before the next day he went Corporate.

    This will never happen though. Its like hoping for Cena to make a heel turn. They just won't do it

    There's still hope that this can turn into a triple threat main event - Brock vs. HHH vs. Roman

    So, 3 straight years they have to turn their Main Event into a triple threat because they f**ked up planning their most important show. Yeah, this company totally knows what they are doing.

    If they had put half they effort into pushing some other guys besides Reigns they would be in good shape. Even Reigns would be better off because a big part of the resentment is how overpushed he is. Literally nobody feels like a top guy besides Reigns and Lesnar, and Brock only shows up occasionally.

    They've been sitting up HHH/Reigns for months, I'd say they've had a plan and stuck with it.

    If Rollins didn't get hurt, he was going into WM as champ.

    I don't care how long he does it. I'll never get enough of him.

    He's seriously one of the best to ever do it.

    How do you follow the rock? I stop tuning in after that. Triple threat match, meh. This is the first time I actually stayed up to watch raw, lol. I need to get out more.

    I hope they pull a switch and Roman loses at Fast Lane. Highly unlikely of course.

    It is set up ideally to make Roman look strong by going over Brock as well as Ambrose.

    I'd be crazy for either HHH - Brock or HHH- Ambrose.

    Let Reigns take on the Undertaker or something

    Can see Ambrose maybe joining the Authority at Fast Lane...

    I really think Ambrose walks out Fastlane #1 Contender. And storyline wise, this would be what Triple H wants...Wyatt Family on Lesnar & League on Reigns.

    Reigns can still find a way into a Reigns/Ambrose/Triple H Triple Threat. Same way Daniel Bryan was booked into WM30. Last year I thought Reigns/Ambrose/Rollins was going to be the main event. Triple H is the placeholder of Seth Rollins.

    I thought New Day outshined Rock. I don't know who Flo Rida is but his raps didn't rhyme, he seemed lost and what he said was corny as hell where as Bo Dallas Atleast was clever and was old-school style. Also his new ring gear is great now that there's no more belly flopping with him jogging around the ring. Same thing his dad wore in his late 80's WCW run.

    Styles/Jericho was a good RAW debut and probably an AJ Styles top 10 dream match. Hell probably a dream match for Jericho too.

    Owens is ready to be pushed to the main event. I'd say Ambrose is too. Styles can make it.
