Sami and Neville had some good matches but I only got back into wrestling after Cesaro's "deadlift guy from cradle position into pop-up uppercut" botch recovery spot, that was something else

You're not wrong but, you're also wrong. Having a defined, immediately recognizable character does you no favors in the transition from NXT to the main roster. Rusev is the exception that proves the rule
Seems to have worked okay for Kevin Owens, and to a lesser degree Enzo/Cass. I don't think it *hurt* Zayn or any of the women either, and honestly as badly as they've handled them is a lack of repackaging really the reason that [Breeze/Crews/Corbin/etc] floundering? The only real cases of this loving up a person I can remember are Bo Dallas, Emma, and I guess you could argue the Vaudvillains, since they all either had to revert or were just sort of tossed out there with the expectations people would understand the two-dimensional (as opposed to one-dimensional) aspects of their gimmick.

That'll take Alexa going through a table. It just doesn't make any sense, like when Kane won that first blood match to win the title

Sounds silly and it is. But people in WWE think Alexa is too small to be Champion.

I would prefer Alexa to win. Then feud with Nikki. Have Nikki win at the Rumble. Then Becky vs Nikki at Wrestlemania. As Becky is better chasing.

Alexa is too small to be champion in the same way as Sasha, i.e. they can't be put through a table because the goddamn thing won't break.

i like becky a lot and would prefer her to retain, but if their match has a false finish where alexa won't go through the table due to being tiny i'll be alright.

if i'm gonna be real honest, i'm guessing alexa wins because I can't believe that she'd break a table and they don't want to risk another Hell in the Cell finish.

Rumors have it the Wyatts will indeed Freebird the belt, RAW and SD pre-shows are on the chopping block and Tajiri is probably returning to the Cruiserweight division and might be working as a coach. All good rumors that I hope are true

I wonder how much Cody's tepid indie run can be attributed to him coming up in the WWE system, where he was never trained to do more than the milquetoast, cookie-cutter style they push on everybody. I'm not surprised he's floundering in environments that demand a more dynamic, energetic type of wrestling.

I'd be pretty happy with Bullet Club winding down and splitting off into a few of its own factions. But I think its still spinning too much cash

Well I think you can attribute the lackluster Cody stuff due to him not really spending any time anywhere. He is having one or two off matches everywhere. No booker in their right mind is going to throw a guy that might only do 2 or 3 matches for you into a real storyline. When/if he sticks around somewhere longer term then we will likely see some good stuff, although it is looking like he might be going to act full time in the near future.

Yeah, this is also true. He's got a bucket list of guys he wants to wrestle, and he's dead-set on completing that list, so he keeps hopping from promotion to promotion with no obvious kayfabe reason for why he's fighting these guys. Add on top my previous concerns about his vanilla style, and ... yeah, a lot of not-good matches stacked in a row.
