Agreed. And Lashley puts me to sleep.

Why are Reigns and Lashley feuding again? Aren't they both supposed to be good guys?

 

The Miz didn't amount to much? I don't recall Morrison ever being trusted with the big strap.

Miz didn't win ... if he's only referencing TE winners.

 

I was thinking that exact thing last night. It's like they both threw a couple of insults at each other, and now they're archenemies. It makes no sense. The whole thing where the locker room empties and has to hold the two guys apart should be saved for real hatred, not for a couple of faces having a verbal pissing contest.

 

Lashley shouldve gone full heel but with Roman as cool guy tweener (that everyone boos) it doesnt work. Samoa Joe was so much better in the role (as FU Roman guy) and just got squashed. Be interesting to see what the crowd reaction to these two is on Sunday, esp if they main event.

Has there ever been a more underwhelming “big return” than Lashley’s so far?

 

I don't know why they didn't just go with Reigns against McIntyre so you'd have the Shield vs. Dolph/Drew. You still do the individual matches, but you have Reigns go a PPV without a match (shocking!) and let him be in Rollins' corner. He and McIntyre go at it, set that up for the next show. Hell, with the right writing, you could turn it into a four-way for the IC belt.

 

Agreed. McIntyres been incredible since he came back. Some of his social media stuff about the next generation knocking down doors and out working the annointed ones, while smarky, would really tap into the dislike of Reigns if they put it on TV.

He says this to Romans face its instantly over

 

THAT would be amazing, and it would make McIntyre more than backup and put some real meaning into a feud with him and Reigns. I've decided that we should all be writers for WWE.

 

I think the WWE will take their time with Drew because of how it unfolded the first time he was around.

Granted, he is wiser and understands the business a lot better than his first go-around. I just don’t think they want to invest everything on him right now off the bat. His time will come, though. He’s been killing it in the ring, on the microphone, and social media. In addition, he has the “perfect” look of a World Champion.

 

It just weakens him to me to have him go from NXT champion to Dolph's backup. I can see slowplaying him some, but right now it seems like he's being wasted. Of course, the same could be said of a lot of guys they brought up from NXT. At least he's in a storyline.

 

Totally understand where you’re coming from. However, I just really believe that the WWE wants him to “earn” it again. He was given a big push when he first arrived, and he just couldn’t deliver. Now that he’s wrestled all over the world, and became better at his craft, he will get his shot eventually, and it may be sooner than we all think.

 

They kinda have him in the Diesel role to Ziggler's HBK. At some point, Drew turns on him and becomes huge.

In the meantime, he's made Ziggler relevant.
