WWE: Raw and Smackdown Part 5 - The Paul Levesque Era

[Sheppy]

in the end i think jey uso gets his big moment at summerslam next year or something they may not want to give it to him at a wrestlemania but in my opinion u cant have his first world title at a b ppv after all this hype you got to atleast give it to him at a summerslam.

And I’d have no issue with him getting a moment down the road at all. It’s just not the right time now.

wrestlemania 41 is shaping up to be a bust anyway.. cena winning 17th title or cody losing to orton in a shocker doesn't really do much for me lol

 

[HeisenBaez]

Jacob is pretty clearly the guy you strap the rocket to. He has top heel written all over him.

Same can be and should be said about Bron Brekker. I think Brekker/Fatu is the next big money feud.

Cena's not winning a title.

 

[BruinDust]

If he doesn't close out Elimination Chamber in Toronto somehow, they are doing it wrong. If they aren't about to beat Cody prior to WM (they won't and they shouldn't), why can't KO be the World Heavyweight Champion? I'd rather see KO vs. Sami for the WHC than any feud involving Gunther right now. He's the most entertaining character in WWE right here today.

I do agree, Gunther does 0 for me...I am bored with his matches and him on the mic...I believe they need to use some momentum for ppl who are over.

I also believe super Cena gets 17 at WM, so why not put it on a transitional champ for a run

Makes sense for the Gunther fans that it's not CenaWinLOL over your boy

Cena's only booked for 36 dates, no point in wasting those dates with a title run.

And once again, you don't get it...no one cares except for him getting over Flairs number

Nah, f*** that.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

He is? That was just his 8th match on TV or PPV since winning the title 6 months ago. Spends 95% of his camera time now cutting dreadful promos.

If they want to get Gunther over as champion, how about more wrestling and less talking.

Even most of his promos are pre taped vignettes that are always a variation of the same thing.

hes over with the crowd will get big reaction at mania and could put him vs drew easily make a program there with the past history or do a friend vs friend feud vs sami . i mean as of now whats gunther gonna do at wrestlemania? fight cena ? kinda meh if u ask me.

Punk wins the rumble, headlines Saturday night vs Gunther.

WWE Raw Viewership Plummets in Week 2 on Netflix

Netflix WWE Raw viewership numbers sank a whopping 37% on the much-touted program's second week, which may not be a good sign.

www.newsweek.com

I am aware it's more open for international viewers, which is good

But this is not very good news at all for WWE. In America you could have just watched on USA network now you have to sub to an extra package just for RAW and WWE?

I'm more expecting/hoping that Cena goes for the belt at WM, loses, and then the rest of his year is chasing 17.

I honestly would rather see him win late in the year and have a stipulation where he retires when he drops the belt. Predictably, it would be at WM42. I'd pick Bron. I'd expect they would pick Bron. But I could also be talked into Jacob.

So hopefully he has a movie/show filming fall through in early 2026.

I could see Jey getting the briefcase and getting a run out of that.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

I can see the dislike towards Gunther as champ. I like him with the belt, but I can see how others would think he can be boring. Yes, he's great in the ring, but he hasn't wrestled nearly as much as he did when he was the IC champ.

Hell no to Jey with the belt. He's just over with the kiddies with a dumb catchphrase and style. He needs to head back to the tag division which is on life support as it is.

If crowd reaction is what we're after, I recommend re-strapping the rocket to Dom. Has he been injured? He really had all the momentum and it's been totally cut off. He'd get nuclear heat as champ (yes, I know it wouldn't make sense for him to wrestle Gunther, just work with me here).

 

[TD Charlie]

Joe Hendry gets a good reaction for his entrance. He winning the title now too?

I think he is exactly the type of guy to start AND end a short run at a "B ppv"

MITB needs to die, honestly.

H seems to take the belts way more seriously than Vince did. It took them 9 months to get Priest to finally cash in and that was honestly done more to further Punk and Drew's beef than to elevate Priest.

Essentially, I think Triple H only wants to put the belt on guys who are on top of the company at the time, and he's not gonna end long reigns like Gunther's or Cody's with some cheap shit like a cash in.

You mean you don't want months of failed cash ins?!
