WWE: Raw and Smackdown Part 5 the Paul Levesque Era

[GKJ]

I honestly don't know what the plan is. It just feels like they're copying the Bianca/Jade/Naomi storyline, but rushed over a weekend instead of a slow play. Frankly, it feels like a ton of decisions they made over this weekend were rash, short-sighted decisions to alleviate the ire of the fans once they realized the Rock couldn't be bothered to show up.

I don’t think anything has been short term other than Dwayne, which is only ever gonna be what storyline he’s involved in.

He did show up in Atlanta back in the fall as a surprise, so he does have a place he wants to be, just is a matter of who else knows what that is.

I said over the weekend. I think the decision to throw Becky into the match right before was damage control (no pun intended) for the inevitable disappointment for the following match.

 

[TheBeard]

Watching the Rock blame everyone but himself for this debacle is pretty on brand for that narcissist. I used to look forward to his appearances as they meant something, but now it’s clear he only does shit to keep his TKO bitches happy. I hope he gets the Hogan treatment from here on out.

I do wonder if they bring back Bailey to this storyline and reignite the Perez feud.
Giulia vs Rhea
Perez vs Bayley
Vaquer vs Iyo proper

we might see Io tonight on NXT so anything is possible at this point

This whole Cena angle is so flat. I just don't buy it at all.

Cena is a guy, like him or not, that I always believed 100%. Even when he had the corny rap gimmick, he grew up listening to rap. It was real.

I don't believe him for a second right now. This character feels completely processed.

I believe it's his thoughts with a twist.

I think he genuinely doesn't give a f*** what people think or lets it affect what he wants to do. But the "You stupid people" stuff is where it clearly becomes playing a part.

Especially when you see him at meet and greets yesterday shaking everyone’s hand and saying thank you. He can’t commit to the role the way say MJF can. I get it. People pay a lot of money for those three seconds but still…

One thing we definitely know about Dwayne is that he wants to be loved and knowing that he’s getting shit on again, he will seek to rectify.

I kinda think it'd be more fun to meet him and get roasted lol.

Just say you post on HFBoards ad there's enough material for him. /

Same, I'd love to get a trademark MJF diss more than anything.

Also, it's funny. NXT needed to fill up the seats around the ring tonight so they just upgraded my floor seat to second row for free. Cost me 30 dollars in the first place.

I think Bayley will be feuding with Becky.

But I think they are definitely starting to sew the seeds for Evolution 2.

I think we learn more on both Tuesday and Friday.

Which sucks because baby face Bayley has been so brutal. She hasn't been remotely interesting in years. She was great during the covid days, in fact, she was one of the best parts of the show. Even her in ring work lately has been lethargic at best.

Meh. I'm just not a fan of Bayley in general. Or any of the 4 horsewomen to be honest. I mean, I don't dislike Bayley and Becky, more indifferent.

So more Dwayne putting Dwayne over. Gotcha.

 

[End of Line]

Please just no…… He’s not Lawrence Taylor, Dennis Rodman, or Karl Malone

 

[Sheppy]

Jesus Christ. That guy needs to just go away.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

I hate the idea. But I'm sure a ton of the teens love it and it'll equal $$ in the long run.

 

[End of Line]

I can see it now. Night 2 main event of Summerslam will be Cena & Scott vs Rhodes & Jelly Roll

Trips and TKO are all in on him

i meant i hope TS isn't anything like Karl Malone. the bolding on here doesn't come off as well as it used to

Ah my mistake

 

[GKJ]

It seemed obvious to me that was the direction. Cena and Travis Scott vs. Cody and Orton. If there’s another person in the mix, maybe 3v2.
