    Listening to Bryan cut these promos and couldn't help but think he's perfectly describing the New Day. They might not be everyone's cup of tea anymore as it's the same thing over and over with them but the promos Bryan could cut would be epic and much more entertaining than a feud with Randell or Rey.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if he went into a program with New Day. Is it worthy of Wrestlemania? Probably not. Very few viable babyface options on smackdown as it stands

    I’d utterly adore if Kofi finally won a Rumble. Just....it would be my favorite thing ever,

    I also 5ink New Day are absolutely the most over faces on SD after Styles. A proper feud with Bryan and New Day would be phenomenal. Great call.

    Suspect if you offered Miz the chance for a major pushed, focused singles match at Wrestlemania - which is a guarantee when you're in there with a McMahon - complete with the payoff that comes along with it, he would bite your f*cking hand off. Since his big WM Main event, he's been on the preshow once, in the battle royal twice, in a multi person match, & in a 3 way on the undercard. His mixed tag in 2017 with Cena & Nikki is the only real focused spot he's had at Mania in the last 8 years.

    They're not wrapping up Shane McMahon's feud before Wrestlemania, though.

    Not a fan of Becky’s music at all.. if they’re going for STone cold comparisons, he never really acknowledged the fans cheering him a lot, Becky does. Maybe it’s a small thing and I’m nitpicking

    That was Bryan at his peak, can draw so many comparisons to 2010 CM Punk and the SES. The new title is perfect, looks just as shîtty as it needs to in order to draw heat.

    Never thought I’d say it after the whole “Yes Movement” but Bryan really is a natural heel when his lifestyle choices are part of his on-screen persona. It works so well because it’s an exaggerated version of who he really is.

    Haha at least Rusev dropping the title to Naka makes sense now!! At least they had the decency to protect the latter from that.

    They still had Rusev job to R-Truth though. And now they’ve turned him heel again. Terrible booking for Rusev.

    Bryan throwing the belt in the bin might be the first time a heel has legit pissed me off in years.

    I liked the belt thing too. It was risky but it makes sense for the character.

    Don't know if Rusev or the US title took a bigger hit last night. The latter is on a comedy character and the former is now buddy's with the guy who put his wife in harms way twice in the last month. Great idea it was breaking him up with English as the 2 have really flourished since.
    The hemp belt is kitchy but Bryan has been a borderline comedy heel for weeks so he might as well go all in.

    The worrying thing is when he does lose it they might introduce the blue version of the Universal belt for Smackdown which would be horrible.

    How much is WWE shop going to sell the Eco friendly recycled belt for?


    Probably more than they do the normal belts.

    Honestly never should have broken up Rusev and Aiden English. That tandem was over. Do a personal angle only to turn English heel and then what?! No pay off. Didn't benefit either party. Should've put the tag straps on them for freshness. Now Aiden is a commentator on 205 live of all things and Rusev is bloody heel again. Senseless stuff. Rusev had been popular for so long, is genuinely likeable and is very believable as a threat to the top guys if pushed properly. It's just sad.

    Vince will never push a Eastern bloc foreigner seriously as a face.

    yes, he has that out of touch with reality, and probably racist.

    I guess that'll teach Rusev for getting over on his own.

    any interest I had in Miz is non-existent at this point. and I have never cared about shane. especially now. this story line is just dreadful. every time shane speaks, he fluffs his lines and appearsnervous/emotional. and im sick and tired of the coast to coast/elbow on to the table.

    Well looks like it's official. We have another guy who WWE can't be bothered wasting letters on in Rowan.
    How come the women get their full names plus titles like Goddess, yet the men lose half or 2 thirds of their names?

    Rowan and Harper both lost their last names during their run as Bludgeon Brothers. As far as women go, Nattie lost Neidhart and Tamina lost Snuka.
