The wrestler that tapped The Man out in January could've been a strong challenger but WWE booking happened.

Most people, myself included, REALLY liked their Fastlane lane. That's why we want to see more. We got Bryan vs AJ for 5 months....

Yeah, if Lars doesn't fuck up or is able to deal with his anxiety in the coming months, he'll probably be Roman's first title defense.

Said so already early in the thread, I'd LOVE to see a real feud with those two (and end it at Summerslam with a hair vs hair match). But it seems Bryan is injured for real (or hopefully he got a nice vacation) so if that's the case he's gonna be facing someone else in the meantime.

Who is there to feud with Roman before he goes for the belt? The Bar?

The face of the Fox era!

The Owens turn is so evident it's pretty awesome tbh.

Ali is fucking insane.

Smackdown's roster was insane for a whole year. Last year's shakeup was the biggest upset with SD winning by a landslide. Big Cass was literally the only bad get and dude lasted 2 months.

Finn is on SD. Unless Joe loses the belt or is stripped, he's going to RAW. They'll come up with a random reason for it.

Xavier going off about UpUpDownDown getting decimated due to the Shakeup and the crowd not know what the fuck he was talking about was something else I've never cared about Balor, not even during his New Japan run. But if Roman is not an option, I'd be down for a Balor/Bryan feud.

Roman vs Bryan for the title so soon would probably be taken by fans as "WWE screwing poor Kofi to shove Reigns down our throats agan!". Not sure they would boo the samoan out of the building like old times but a 50/50 reaction at minimum would be my guess. I'd much rather see a Roman/DB feud not for the title ending in a big gimmick match at Summersam. With Rey gone to RAW, I can still picture Bryan being able to have an apuestas match and make a "hair vs hair" match work.

It's either Roman for "big star" or Braun for "big dude".

Tranquilo.

Tony Neese retaining via all time level fuckery for 3 straight PPVs to build Braun to finally win the belt at Summerslam's pre show.

Any chance Vince scrapped the "War Raiders" name because it had "War" in it? :lol:

I don't think they know who is going where yet, so they've smartly kept a lot of people out of RAW and SD so they aren't tied to any programs before the shakeup. Bryan going to RAW would make sense but I think he would push against that idea and it's been pretty clear he gets to do what he wants now. If him and Rey are on the same roster, I think that's his next big program, not Kofi.

So the post Mania RAW averaged 1 million less viewers than last year.....BUUUURNNN IT DOOOOOOOOOWN. It was still the n°1 con cable for the 18-49 demo so everything is not lost I guess? All jokes aside, does anyone have an idea of what kind of ratings they are gonna need for Friday night once they go to Fox? At this point it seems they will be moved to FS1 in November

They probably didn't want to start any new programs for them considering the shakeup is next week. One of those three will probably go to SD. And, most importantly, Vince is gonna decide who goes where on Sunday afternoon and still change his mind on Monday

Didn't even think about him tbh. I guess because with him you knew before the bell rang that the crowd was likely to turn on his match.

They are giving him A+ material for next week at least.

This is not his fault at all this time, but Rollins gotta be the main eventer whose had most matches hijacked by the crowd, no? It's either him or Orton

Welp no one saw the Bar coming at least.

RAW after Mania always has the best returns!

Cole was the drizzling shit for 5 years during that 06-11 stretch. He was particularly awful during his heel turn. Control your stanning
