The same/similar forces in NXT who were anti him are still there. Bobby Roode is everything Terry Taylor & Co. thinks what a top wrestler should be while Ohno ain't. So Roode beat him clean.

That and they probably want to give Roode a longer reign than 2 months

Why the hell is Trips hot on the Drifter? I'd be super fine never seeing him on TV ever again

He's well liked and has the body that they like, plus whether X-Pac heat or not he still gets heat regardless and people like seeing him get his rear end kicked.

Everybody bitched about all the heels going over last year so of course WWE would wildly overcorrect this year

Honestly I rather have the faces win overwhelmingly at a Mania over the heels in attempt to get Roman Reigns over.

MAKE BRAY LOOK STRONG is one of the weirder preoccupations of this forum imo

Especially since is the natural conclusion of the storyline where the face beats the evil cult man. I like how people are twisting this like Randy is the heel do people forget that Bray's character is evil incarnate?

Yes, because who would want to see Cena and Joe do an extended program. They've never managed to get the people invested in a PPV match with short notice.

And why save Reigns beating Cena for Survivor Series or the Rumble when it can be the undercard on a Raw B-show.

Because despite being a big 4 show, Survivor Series is kind of treated like poo poo by WWE

That's actually a fairly clever way to get heat on Velveteen Dream, robbing us of another Good-rear end Aleister Black Match, but uh, it doesn't do great things for ol' Lio.

Kind of funny considering Lio and Dream were a tag team for a bit in the Indies

Drew McIntyre vs. Andrade Almas

Women's Title
Kairi Sane vs. Nikki Cross vs. Ember Moon vs. Peyton Royce

Lars vs Kassius it seems

And the Usos New Day feud is good enough that I don't care who wins since the matches are great

The Shield Winning Is Now Bad, Because

Because its a cynical attempt to get Roman over even though this is how it should have always been, Roman would way more of an actual star if the Shield remained a unit and he won the belt off Brock at Mania while Seth and Dean could have been IC/US or Tag Champs

Y'know, I was thinking to myself "If they put the IC Title on Braun, Survivor Series could be a really good show between Braun/Corbin hoss-off and Shield/Usos match. And if they put the world title on AJ, it could be an incredible show."

This is where I am right now. I love me some NXT Takeover no matter what but frankly, with a filler NXT Title defense, the tag titles not being defended and Gargano not wrestling, I might just skip this weekend altogether. Survivor Series itself holds zero loving appeal to me now

Maybe I'm just bein' a party pooper here but Shield/New Day sounds fun but so much less cool than Shield/Usos champs vs. champs, something I was legitimately really excited for.

The NXT Title defense is actually the most interesting defense in quite awhile since its been really well built in making Almas a challenger since beating Gargano at Takeover Brooklyn, also the Black/Dream match should be great as well.

I don't think so. She posted a picture of herself driving around Florida this morning, I think. Kairi is going to be down in NXT for awhile still, and probably end up taking the title from Ember at the New Orleans Takeover.

It could be a returning talent, for all we know. Like Kaitlyn. Or Michelle McCool. Or anyone else. There were also rumors about moving Nia to Smackdown.

I would imagine it not being Kaitlin, Casey wouldn't really be pumped for that. Though knowing him its probably Kelly Kelly
