Gunther getting that #1 to last elimination nod. He will be champ before 2024 ends.

Also that Logan Paul Ricochet spot was wild

 

[Niall]

Don't really watch but that a fun enough rumble even if it lacked some tension with the final two.

Gunther should get Brock at Mania and hopefully he wins, deserves that shine.

Cody v Roman at Mania seems a good main event.

Bobby vs Brock imo
Gunther vs Drew vs Shamus

 

[Niall]

Rhea is pretty cool and it was a fun final three, but eliminating Becky and Bayley so early was silly as it took away any sort of tension.

Tamina and Nia still utterly pointless sadly.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Tamina and Nia still both utterly pointless also.

Rip Sami uso

 

[Athlai]

Sorta crazy how this Roman story has evolved.

Sami vs Roman and even Jey vs Roman seem like WM matches

 

[Athlai]

The Usos breaking up to give Jey a main event run could be gun. Sucks to split a great team but if they weren't brothers you'd have to say Jey is clearly the better of the two. Jimmy is the Janetty.

 

[Niall]

Assume for better or worse KO/Sami win the tag titles maybe at Mania. Obviously it should be Sami ending the Roman era but WWE going to WWE.

Regarding Cody, an obvious caveat is I don't really watch WWE these days but not sure if he has the babyface heat to beat Roman.

They are poor at booking faces and I do fear Cody could get booed out of the stadium at Mania.

Forgot to say also Bray Wyatt is all smoke and mirrors, just awful in the ring .

 

[Athlai]

I don't understand why every Bray match needs to be some insane one off gimmick match, or have some ridiculous story. The story leads to the match.

Really no need to do anything more than a cage/hardcore/strap/casket/last man standing match.

 

[honestbharani]

Its not healthy for a guy in his 30s to already be a special attraction tbh. There was a time when The Undertaker was there every show.

 

[Athlai]

I really hope they didn't hire Nia back

New gimmick. Nia Vax.

 

[Athlai]

Kinda wish we could get a commentary team of Michael Cole, Taz and Pat McAffee. Reckon they'd have an absolute blast.

Excalibur and Corey Graves could possibly mesh well together too. Graves is always better when he has someone that can play the mildly dweeby straight man (Phillips/Saxton). They'd probably make a lot of obscure references which I'm not sure is a good. Throw in Schiavone with a Red Bull maybe

 

[Arachnodouche]

PC nonsense making Ripley beat up male wrestlers but obviously they can't beat her back so constantly having some other chick run interception. They're trying to make her the new Chyna but there'll only ever be the one.

Loved the Gable-Rollins match on RAW. Super technical but entertaining minus the circus acrobatics.

Most mainstream companies nowadays does this. Heel female interferes, female friend of baby-face runs in to sort her out

 

[Arachnodouche]

Yeah, brave new world.

Also great to see Rick Boogs back. In a culture obsessed with rehashing the past, he has to be the most genuine throwback around...across genres, really; wrestling, music, movies, everybody tries to recreate history but he's the only one mental enough to make you believe it. Loved Miz's selling too, priceless reactions before The Mindset.

 

[Athlai]

So cursed

 

[Athlai]

He sees me while I sleep

 

[Kraken]

God it’s going to suck when Sami loses to Roman
