Brock Lesnar. Cena will be too busy with a rematch against ADR and properly burying him.

ADR has done a fine job of burying himself, especially when he decided to play cronie to Sheamus.

I think teasing a title shot or a #1 contender's status for Reigns is not the most effective strategy here. They want him to be a sympathetic figure but the fans are only going to be receptive of that if he is forced out of that picture and getting his ass handed to him regularly. And whoever they decide to have win the Rumble that isn't Reigns needs to not have that whole deal overshadow the winner which if he's near the end of the match, it will. Because chances are he's there getting booed mercilessly and that becomes its own deal where someone like Vince will think that they're only cheering because it's not Roman. The sympathy angle is not a six week fix here and whoever they're going to make the Rumble winner needs to have an honest reaction to see what they have there.

If I'm writing this out, I'm suspending him the next two weeks then putting him in a Rumble qualifier where he has to beat the other three members of LoN and Trips just sledges him to keep him out. Then set up a rematch at the Rumble where Roman eeks out a win over those three. Then set Reigns and Ambrose up for a tag team title shot against New Day at Fast Lane where Trips screws them over and maybe tease a little dissension between Ambrose and Reigns over it. Then you set up the Trips-Roman match for Mania. But pretty much from now until the match is set for Mania, Trips needs to put Roman down repeatedly.

That works. I think you have to keep him near the title initially to hammer up Trips properly screwing him.

I don't he can just instantly vanish from the title picture without it looking stupid. Screwing him out of a rumble qualifier isn't bad.

I still think it can happen middle of the rumble match so that way it doesn't overshadow the winner (who needs to be Owens unless DB returns)

For KO if I was writing it I would literally have him cut a promo where he buries the IC belt.

He doesn't want his rematch and it's beneath him and all he cares about is winning the rumble and he does is cocky KO thing and guarantees a win. And then have him walk out on every match he is booked in until the rumble (maybe have his antics cost him a good number).

Then Fight Owens Fight wins.

If that doesn't happen he absolutely NEEDS to win money in the bank or they are officially wasting him.

NO... I want to see worse numbers.

You're Canadian. Your numbers mean zilch.

 

[SladeWilson23]

Why would any wrestling fan wanna see the biggest wrestling promotion go belly up?

 

[The Gongshow]

Guys... TLC was actually fun to watch... (I skipped Rusev/Ryback and ADR/Swager)

 

[KaseMeOutside]

nobody wants WWE to die, we want them to hit rock bottom so they will overhaul the way the show is produced and presented and allow the talent more freedom

ADR/Swagger was actually decent. I would recommend giving it a watch.

 

[Serac]

Yeah
ADR/Swagger wasn't half bad
Rusev match was completely forgettable

Ladder match was fantastic though
Easily MOTN

Great...

Sufferin' Succotash!

 

[BonMorrison]

I swear to god if Reigns comes out smiling and stuff...

 

[The Gongshow]

The Tag Ladder match was amazing, it was like 30 mins long to, huge spot fest but was really fun and entertaining. Ambrose vs KO was only 9 minutes... but it was a good match, I hope the rematch gets a good 20 minutes. Tables Match was fun, TLC match was just, okay....

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Reigns shouldn't appear at all until a run in from the crowd at the end of the night. Should be "suspended" and run in

 

[M.C.G. 31]

at Reigns opening the show.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Ambrose vs. Ziggler tonight and The Wyatts vs. Team ECW in an Extreme Rules match.

 

[The Gongshow]

As long as its bad ass / border line heel Reigns then I'd be alright with it, but he has to do less talking and more beating anyone and everyone up...

 

[DoyleG]

Like we needed to see Steph scream.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

He's not opening!

It's someone that's way more annoying, though.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Oh god we have to listen to Steph talk....

 

[The Gongshow]

That dress is not flattering to Steph.......
