WWE: WWE TV - Raw & Smackdown Part 3

[Emperoreddy]

Raquel now has 4 title runs that ended within a month, but that still isn't enough to be the ultimate transitional champion.

Charlotte has her beat with 6 title runs under 30 days long

Ok now I think Finn has to win at Summerslam. JD all covered in gold and we have a good tension storyline of Finn and Priest giving each other side eyes over Priest potentially cashing in on Finn.

It writes itself, but they need to be careful. Are you really going to have Rollins/Balor III in September? I can't think of a logical face for Balor to face for the belt however.

I think Drew has to go over Gunther for the IC title. That takes him away. Riddle? Meh. Orton could be something. Gable/Balor would burn the house down but that would be kind of random. Ciampa would be too soon. Nakamura would have been a natural for it with his history with Balor but it looks like they're turning him heel.

I think Balor turns face eventually when Priest turns on him eventually. Long term speaking, you can have Balor lose the belt at Mania via a cash in fron Priest after a war with Gunther (who won the Rumble), and move Imperium to Smackdown afterwards. Question is can they hold that tension for almost 8 months in the meantime?

Sasha Banks is kinda a legend in this regard too, ya?

Also 4 (5 if you count her last RAW title run as legit).

So legendary but still behind The Queen

I don't think Drew goes over. GUNTHER is a month away from breaking the longest IC title run record, I can't see them stopping that short.

Plus Drew is a huge f***ing dork and Gunther rules. Why the hell do we need anyone to go over him anyway? This is probably his ceiling under the current setup in WWE creative.

Drew is one of the few that could credibly beat him clean for the title and not make him look like a dork.

The best move is to protect Gunther in some way to make him lose the IC title in a dubious finish or in a triple threat/4 way to not make him eat the pin but still make him look strong. He needs to be in the world title hunt sooner rather than later, but you're not going to geek him out to Rollins either.

She didn’t transition as much as much as she kept losing it back to who she won it from

I can't envision a scenario involving Balor having a long title run, certainly not a long world title run. He may be the least interesting and/or least crowd response of the four.

Priest has all the makings of a monster heel. It's going to be hard to finagle that if Balor goes over. Yeah, you can build some tension and have him cash in at Survivor Series or something. The problem with Balor as champion is that you don't have enough of credible face challengers for the world title on Raw. Way more stronger heels at the moment.

I find "The Judgement Day" boring.

Here you have a group/faction that has existed for 18 months or so, but still haven't established a true identity.

Yeah they use creepy, gothic imagery and music in their entrance. But there is nothing about the group that is dark or mysterious. Once their theme song cuts out, their identity as a group is relegated to wearing black cloths with purple accents. Doesn't help they often are seen operating independently away from the group.

They dominate the RAW show now and I don't find them compelling at all as a group. Any great faction in pro wrestling has a collective identity and without it, it's just a run-of-the-mill wrestling faction. Dom and Rhea works but they could take Dom and Rhea away from JD and they would be just as strong of an act. Maybe stronger.
