    I'd say he and Samoa Joe are at the top of the list.

    Nothing short of Lesnar losing the belt would make me happy.

    Gulak vs. Alexander on the Pre show.

    Well, finally is a stretch since she's only had a 2nd go at it. But I think at this point, yes.

    Yes, because I expect Carmella to retain because both Charlotte and Becky keep ruining each other's pin attempts.

    ALSO: I wouldn't be surprised if Dean turns on Seth. Raw really needs a top heel right now.

    Is Miz the best wrestler at cutting promos in the WWE right now?
    Yes, and I don't think anyone else is close. (Edit: Yeah, I think Joe's up there too, but I still like Miz better). Heyman's up there, but he's not an actual wrestler.

    What outcome do you want in the Reigns/Lesnar match?
    Probably won't happen, but I want to see Heyman turn on Lesnar, help Reigns win the title and turn heel. I know it's a broken record, but a Reigns heel turn would be super, and I think he'd have a ball blasting the fans in his promos every Monday night.

    Which match will steal the show on Sunday?
    Would Joe/Styles be credited with 'stealing the show' if everyone is expecting them to have the best match on the card? I think Rollins-Ziggler have the potential to have a great, great match.

    Do you believe Ronda finally wins the title?
    I'm leaning toward yes, although I think it's a bit early to put the belt on her.

    Does Lynch finally turn on Charlotte?
    Eventually, but I don't think it's going to happen on Sunday.

  3. Is Miz the best wrestler at cutting promos in the WWE right now?
    He's good. But I'd list Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe ahead of him. They are both better in-ring performers as well.

    What outcome do you want in the Reigns/Lesnar match?
    As long as Heyman takes a bump, I could care less.

    Which match will steal the show on Sunday?
    I'm most interested in seeing what happens with the Owens-Braun match. The best match will probably be Seth Rollins-Dolph Ziggler.

    Do you believe Ronda finally wins the title?
    No, I do not. Too soon.

    Does Lynch finally turn on Charlotte?
    Charlotte is way better as a heel, so I hope it's the other way around.

    Two people have answered that it may be a bit too soon to put the title on Ronda. @SpiritedDebate and @mpcincal - care to share your reasons behind those answers? Just out of curiosity. Is it because you don’t think she’s ready yet? She hasn’t put in her time like other divas have before they won the title?

    I think Rousey's done OK with her limited wrestling skills, but she still obviously has a lot to learn (and I think she will learn and improve greatly). I realized workrate isn't always the top consideration with these things, but I just feel she should get a little more seasoning in the ring before they put the belt on her. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if they put her over Sunday, and it wouldn't exactly upset me.

    Meltzer stepped in it today, rambling something on the radio about Peyton Royces look and how its changed or isnt helping her get over. Getting openly attcked by many superstars.

    Here it is. Deserves all the shit he’s getting. Hopefully Bruce rips him for it on his next podcast.

    Meltzer: 5-star asshole

    Bruce and Bishoff are ridiculous with the Meltzer stuff. It makes the shows borderline unlistenable at times, Eric moreso than Bruce.

    And yeah he stepped in it here. He wasnt eloquent. But its not an entirely unfair topic is it? We’re all talking about Ambrose’s new look all week......functionally whats the difference?

    1. Yes. Joe is up there.

    2. Braun cashing in and winning.

    3. I'll go with Rollins/Ziggler

    4. No. Alexa gets herself DQed somehow.

    5. No. I can see her winning the title.

    Ronda’s getting the belt and most likely Heyman.
