Doesn't necessarily contradict the Meltzer report, since it sounds like they're doing the testing early March (and probably before Fastlane/the Raw on the 6th).

El Gallinero Gros posted:My guess is Joe if Rollins isn't ready to go Won't it be Sami/Joe and Sami/Triple H at this point though? I mean, yeah, by the sound of things they're gearing up for Finn/Joe, but heck, I also like the sound of Finn/KO/Jericho for the US title. Would really prefer Finn/Joe and KO/Jericho though. They can do Finn/KO for the US title after Wrestlemania. Build him up a bit so he isn't in the Roman spot.

I mean, Finn was more over in his first month on TV than Roman ever has been as a singles star. Plus people haven't even had time to get sick of him yet, so I don't think they need to worry about the Reigns treatment. Beyond that, from a booking standpoint, I feel like doing just about anything other than putting him right back in a feud for the Universal title would make him look weak(er).

I take your point about Finn being over as heck, but the thing is, if Goldberg wins at Fastlane, then either Lesnar or (hopefully) Orton is walking out of Wrestlemania as the Universal Champion. With that said, I would totally be up for Finn/Orton after Wrestlemania, but Finn/Lesnar would frankly be a foregone conclusion and I don't think they'll want to risk Finn loving up his shoulder again after a botched suplex. So yeah, I get you completely and I want KO to win at Fastlane and Owens/Jericho to be for the UC. I mean, Jericho would have to drop the US title to, I dunno, Big E or someone like that, but if it saves us from a Goldberg/Lesnar main event then I'm all for it.

The one thing I really hope doesn't happen is Orton bringing the stupid Universal title to Smackdown and then WWE finding some way to shift the WWE title to Raw.

The actual bewildering booking is the mess they've made of the women's division by keeping Ember in cold storage for what seems like 6 months while Asuka stayed face against the aussies and Nikki Cross, then cutting Nikki off at the knees by failing to follow through on her angle with the champ.

Basic Chunnel posted:At this point I imagine Nakamura's getting a rematch and Hero isn't. So it's more like 100/0. 50/50 is referring to the fact that he won one match and lost one match. Or another way to say it would be he won 50 percent of his matches and lost 50 percent. 50/50, if you wheeeeeellll.

Goldberg/Lesnar is main eventing with or without the belt, I think. In any case, I hate fantasy booking, but I still think you can book it to have Balor walk out with the title. Just have Brock cockily issue an open challenge after beating Goldberg in a competitive match, out comes Balor, etc. It's obvious they want Balor to be a major star since he's a merch machine with kids, and it would be a huge star making moment. It works out for everyone from a booking angle too: Lesnar gets his win back, and Finn only beats him *after* a competitive match with Goldberg, so he doesn't look really weak. All I'm saying is I really don't think Finn will be relegated to lower on the card. It'll be interesting to see how they book him.

I think Finn and Roman are probably gonna be rivals post-Mania because it's quite easily set up. And it might actually work if they let Roman be a heel and don't just feed Balor to him to get Roman ready for Brock.

As much as I liked Athena, they've given me zero reasons to give a poo poo about Ember Moon. She's Apollo Crews with a cooler finisher. Should've pulled the trigger on Nikki.

So wait, is it Asuka/Ember in Orlando or Asuka/Nikki? Because I really hope (a) it's Asuka/Nikki (b) if it is, Nikki wins.

For Takeover originally the plan was Roode/Andrade vs Hero/Nak but they may become singles matches. Nakamura vs Roode and Hero vs Andrade.

I am the same about the division. The plan is for Peyton to be Champion this year. No idea how it gets to her though. Via Asuka or via Ember Moon though.

If a heel can only win by cheating you get Kevin Owens. There is space between a monster heel and a cheating weasel where a heel can just be really good and win against like 75% of his opponents, get heat via non-wrestling related dickheadedness, but in the end clearly be worse than The Best Dudes and have to cheat against them. That was the formula that made Triple H a star, and considering how everyone says Bobby is Triple H lite, it should probably work with him.
