rock aint coming back full time and as much as I dont care for roman at this point, I dont want to see another loving brock reign of terror

I know Cena is coming into his own with the acting but do you think vince is making overtures in that direction? Realistically he seems like the only "huge star" that might be willing to come back and work enough of a schedule to credibly be champion

god help me, I'm imaging reaching back ten years and saying "actually one day you'll wish cena would come back to dethrone that big cool guy in the SHIELD"

Put the last dagger in Bray Wyatt and get rid of the one relevant thing he/his Fiend character ever actually did (be the temporary last match and screen appearance of Cena's in the company)

Does Spooky Alexa and her Spookier dolly have anyone to feud with yet?

Coz she has done a couple of vignettes, but I dunno if they are leading to her feuding with anyone specific yet.

Maybe Carmella? A pretty, glamourous, "diva" of a woman vs the spooky scary child. There could be shenanigans when/if Carmella steals the doll, and/or mirror weirdness as Carmella is putting on her make-up etc.

Asian American / Pacific Islander month started yesterday, and given how this company treats black wrestlers during black history month, there's a non-zero chance that Vince tears up the plans and has Roman drop the title to like Otis or something.

I don't know what thread to put this in, but Twitter informed me that Bin Laden was killed ten years ago today, which Cena announced on TV at the end of a PPV.

But Rock also tweeted about it before literally anybody had reported it, proving he must know somebody high up in government.

Well, another alert I got from Google is that today is Dwayne Johnson's birthday.

So whoever let that state secret slip likely did it as a birthday present.

Considering she beat Asuka clean before it would make sense for her to feud for the title soonish. The question is: is the spooky evil magic woman acface or heel?

Likely a heel considering she turned on Bray (even if he was a very lovely babyface both booking and gimmick wise). Also I say she "feuds" with Asuka first just because WWE is doing everything they can to kill any sort of interest behind Asuka, and there is a bunch of (misplaced) fan speculation that Asuka needs time off because of her dental issues. Nevermind the fact that she has outright said that it would be six months before they could get her in to get actual replacements for her teeth that were knocked out.

edit 2: lmao, actually 3 times. he and sami zayn were fired by daniel bryan and got moved to the alumni section. why don't people believe in WWE stipulations again?

People are already fantasy booking Alexa back into the title scene and her inevitable title reign if it happens, and how excited they are.

And then these same people will end up bitching about how everyone gets buried against said supernatural characters. Nevermind a gimmick as lovely as "Alexa and Lilly". Which could beat out The Fiend this year for "Worst Wrestling Gimmick" depending on how things go. Then again the field is already crowded with Retribution, The Fiend, and now Alexa/Lilly.

They should be excited, WWE is awful television but when Alexa is playing Undertaker Anderson Silva Goldberg it's extremely funny.

They're all horrible. I know everyone can't have iconic themes like Austin, Rock, or Undertaker, but the themes have to be instantly recognizable for them to work.

It would be wild to see Alexa defeat Sonya by hitting her with a cotton doll. So you have to root for that outcome
