Sheamus and Roman, much like the rest of the roster, will probably have a really good match that nobody will care about because the writing is very bad, IMO. Bad poo poo in creative, and HHH has a lot to answer for.

he is going to win by cheating in some fashion just like seth rollins did for his entire reign

At least he won't randomly start doing highspots in the middle of his cheating so he won't piss me off as bad.

Yes and he wants to look like he can lead the WWE better an he can only do that but actively loving up the main program because he knows most will just blame Vince and Dunn while sensibly booking NXT and making it a viable brand.

It's disgusting and he's actively sabotaging the careers of Roman Reigns and Sheamus.

Sadly Roman is the new Lex Luger: Really good but everyone in the future assumes he was awful because of a failed main event push. HHH goes over at Mania.

I'm sure all the bad parts of RAW, are Vince and Kevin Dunn's fault, and all the good parts belong to HHH, who does not actually book NXT.

I still can't believe people think giving Jon Stewart, who cost John Cena the title by giving him a chairshot in the back, an AA was some kind of heel move. Like, my god.

Babyfaces (especially company mascot John Cena) are supposed to be the better man. At the very least, "if someone you barely know takes something from you, beat the hell out of them" isn't a very good message for kids.

Babyfaces, and wrestlers in general are supposed to give a poo poo about winning the title, and should be extremely mad when someone screws them out of it.

Remember when Roman Reigns just like, gave Sheamus/Authority back the belt a few weeks ago, instead of doing something interesting or badass with it? When that happened, did you think, "Well, I'm glad Roman's the better man"? What you definitely did not think was "Wow, Roman is bad rear end and cool, and really wants to win the title" which is bad because that is what you probably should be thinking about the face going for the belt.

How exactly was spitting in the face of your boss offering you a leg up and then physically assaulting him for offering a handshake a face move though? I mean, it would make sense as an explicit callback to "you broke up me and my buddies" but no one but H ever referenced it. Roman himself characterized his actions not as "this is payback for screwing the Shield" but as "I'M GONNA DO THIS MYSELF MY OWN WAY" which is not a position I find particularly sympathetic.

Assholes suck up to the boss. Real men do things themselves. I'm not saying anything in the last month has been good booking, but like, jesus, do you think cozying up to the boss offering you a free pass to the top is a face move, then?

Like honestly, all of this just seems like a misguided attempt to compare wrestling morality to real morality, which, yeah, it's going to seem hosed up because in the real world, we try to discourage people from solving all their problems with violence. But that'd be lovely rear end booking in wrestling.

Oh, so he belonged in the ring interfering with the match even less than a manager, who at least is allowed to be at ringside unless banned by a stipulation.

Roman was barely pushed for like, half the summer, taking a back seat to Lesnar, Taker, Sting, and Seth Rollins. The Lex Express poo poo back in the day put the "Roman Reigns is being shoved down our throats" poo poo to shame.

I do fear for Mauro's mental health with Vince screaming at him and calling him a moron in the headset. He is someone who has options and can tell WWE to gently caress off.

Also I wonder if he will retain his name.

Does Vince bother to do this for SmackDown?
