Drew isn’t going anywhere either he’s having a great time with this heel run and clearly going out of his way to build heat for a Punk match.

The beauty is: if he stays, it’s build for a Punk match. If he leaves, well you can’t say he ain’t getting buried on the way out as is tradition!

I would say he is not getting buried. If he leaves I’m pretty sure it’ll be before punk is back from the injury so he’ll have torn Punk’s triceps, bragged about it, and walked off with no comeuppance.

Isn't Rollins like half-face half-heel? Like everything I've seen with Drew has just been this guy who pissed that everyone keeps loving with him but he is the bad guy because he is sick of the poo poo???

He turned heel recently screwing with jey uso because jey has turned face but he’d helped screw with Drew back when he was in the bloodline and Drew won’t let it go. Then he was feuding with Seth Rollins who’s been a babyface since his music got popular.

Yeah, that's the main thing in my head, though I'm not following the product so I take the thread's word for it, but it felt like those 3 who publicly haven't re-signed all got jobbed the gently caress out at Wrestlemania. Becky was literally sick and had to go out there to a 5 minute squash, Seth jobs to Drew and then has a comedy spot in the interference fest at the main event, and Drew gets cashed in for his win then loses the following day on the number 1 contender match. Just the right amount of pettiness for folk that are on their way out, or i'm overthinking it and they're still fedheads.

I think if Drew didn't reup they would have had him lose at mania and despite the cash in being super lol I can see the idea they're building to him winning it back at Clash at the Castle

As for Seth? I think there's some smoke to this especially since it seems like Becky might be wrapping up soon but Seth has always been such a company man that I'd be a bit shocked. But than it's also clear he's not gonna be the top guy in the WWE and might not even be in the next level below that anymore so I could see him wanting to try another place even if I don't think he'd work in AEW

I thought Powerslap was shut down but I guess it was just the TV show. Shame.

I would love Drew (and Sheamus) to go back to the independents, TNA, or AEW but I don't think it's going to happen. Even with the cash-in I believe giving him the title was their carrot before they give him the stick.

Seth leaving would be interesting with the timing. On one hand he's been one of the biggest company guy bootlickers but on the other hand he's one of the people who unequivocally spoke up against Vince. It's tough to gauge how he would be outside of WWE right now because his ROH run was during a much more untested time for him (that wasn't exactly universally beloved) and he doesn't always crush it between the ropes in the WWE but that doesn't mean he doesn't have something to offer no matter where he goes. Going back to ROH would be fun, as would a TNA run or a Cardona-esque independent run, but we'll see. Hell, get him and Becky in NJPW and STARDOM or something wild like that, why not. I'm not sure if Tyler Black being All Elite is something that would work as I don't know if there's room for him but I'm not willing to immediately count it out.

Sheamus is getting a bunch of produced promos on the shows. I don't think he is leaving.

Sheamus is coming back from a significant injury, so he probably had injury time added. He still hasn’t signed an extension, same for Drew and Seth and Becky (the latter three have been healthy)

I'm not sure if I'd count Becky and Seth as WWE burying them, or at least not them specifically burying them as they leave. Becky's being shoved down the card, but that just feels like them not liking her and trying to put her in NXT to train people. I just don't feel like they care enough about her (or the women's division) to actively spite her that way. And Seth... he looked lame in the main event, but that just feels like Seth trying to do a visual callback to turning on the Shield and WWE loving it up because their camera work is still bad. Again, I'm just not getting the kind of spite vibes you usually get in WWE.

(Then again, if they leave and things come out, I wouldn't be surprised.)

I think he might be coming back during the upcoming Europe tour WWE is doing with Backlash. The promos usually air side by side.

After watching the past few shows, it seems pretty clear to me that Roman is taking time off for reasons, Solo has taken over the bloodline with Tama Tonga and soon to be Jacob Fatu, and now that Jimmy USO has been kicked out it’s only a matter of time before the USOs reunite.

This will lead to USOs vs Bloodline at SummerSlam. Cody runs in to help his new bffs and then Roman reappears, spears Cody and then goes after Solo.

Survivor series is Roman vs Solo and then Roman gets to finish his story at WM in a fatal four with the Rock, Cody, and Seth.

I don't think Roman would go after Cody, but would help him if Cody is helping the usos. Heyman said per tribal chief orders that the bloodline accept the results until they have their shot at the title.

As I understand it Power Slap is owned by a separate company that is owned by Dana White & Lorenzo Fertitta, former UFC owner, as well as someone who was the UFC COO (& may still be, all I can find without paying is articles from 2022 when they tried to get slapping licensed in Nevada) & a producer on The Ultimate Fighter. But TKO themselves don't seem directly involved AFAICT
