Raw/SD/NXT/PPV spoiler thread part 11

[M.C.G. 31]

They killed the Nexus and Wyatt, yes. Rusev has never been more over though.

 

[ColePens]

It took Rusev a loooooong time to get back to this. And they can pull the trigger at any time, IMO.

 

[Emperoreddy]

And he is still a comedy tag team act right now. He is wildly entertaining but he still isn’t being used to the best of his potential.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Rusev is like Big E. He is a legit star in the making. He’s big, he’s a hoss, he’s charismatic, he’s got good mic skills and is over. Rusev can’t be killed.

Wyatt could because while he’s a great talker, it was just nonsensical garbage that didn’t make sense because he always lost. At least Rusev has the benefit of not having a complex character and can just be goofy and funny and entertaining to make up for any losses.

at least WWE does see the value in him and aren’t having him eat any pins since this tag team began and they seem to be giving him every opportunity to keep getting over. His shirt is also back ordered, so I’m sure they see money in him. Rusev is everything Vince should love in one of his guys. Last night was the closest thing to Yes movement vibes since the Yes movement itself honestly. Not everyone can be a star right away and I’m okay with waiting — Rusev being on SD affords him the opportunity to actually hold the top title in 2018 too.

If he keeps being this over I’d say either he or Big E win MITB tbh.

We've all seen what WWE does to comedy tag teams with good wrestlers in them who dare to get over.

*stares sadly at Breezango*

 

[Emperoreddy]

See I’m ready to start giving up on Big E getting a big singles push anytime soon.

I don’t think they want to get off the New Day merch ride, and instead want to make them the undisputed greatest tag team ever.

Rusev really deserves a huge singles push and I hope it eventually happens, but I’m not holding my breath considering what company we are talking about.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Big E isn't getting a run for a long time. New Day is likely a thing for years to come and its not like...I dunno...a Wyatt Family thing where it's a clear group but Bray can go off on his own...nah. Big E, I imagine, is a tag team guy for the foreseeable future.

 

[ColePens]

Big E is so freaking talented and so freaking charismatic. I hope he wins the WWE belt in 2018.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

New Day doesn’t need to break up for Big E to get a singles push and singles title. The act will still be great regardless even if E has the WWE Title and Kofi/Xavier are chasing or holding the tag titles.

 

[Emperoreddy]

That goes against the way WWE books. A mid card belt run? Sure. Not top belt unless they break up New Day.

Yeah but the WWE hasn’t had a team like The New Day in... ever? When has a team ever sold so much merch and been so over? It’s completely doable for The New Day imo.

It is doable , I just don’t see this Creative staff booking that way. Another company wouldn’t hesitate, but WWE really likes to keep their divisions segmented and seperste if they can help it.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Yeah but New Day has really changed things, and in doing so, have helped elevate The Usos and the rest of the SD tag division. It’s no longer far fetched to believe SD’s tag division could main event a PPV for example, and not far fetched to believe The New Day just lasts forever, always tied together even when chasing singles gold.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

When was the last time an established group in WWE had a run at the top singles title rather than a top guy getting the title then establishing a group around him? Orton? Trips?

 

[Falco Lombardi]

It would be a bit of a radical idea but the idea of New Day holding the WWE Title collectively is something that would intrigue me. It’s never been done, but I’d argue there’s never been a situation like this where it could be argued that collectively, the New Day is one of the biggest acts in the company.

 

[The Gongshow]

She did still wrestle on the weekly shows as well though. Just because a lot of people didn’t watch weekly doesn’t mean she wasn’t used a lot.

She was never booked like Lesnar.

She wasn't on every NXT. Since it was taped she'd be on T.V what, maybe twice out of 4 shows

 

[Emperoreddy]

Word is the GTS is banned and Itami is going to use the Rings of Saturn as his finisher.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Itami is the Alex Daigle of the WWE.

 

[GKJ]

I didn't read the Observer yet, but I'm listening to the radio show. They're talking about Cena being scheduled for a headliner at WM. Not many guys available who fit the bill, other than you know who...

 

[KaseMeOutside]

the only way i'd want to see cena and hogan in a match is if they were a tag team but you'd have to find opponents big enough to make it worthwhile.

i have said over and over Undertaker is not retired, this is WWE, they are not subtle. if he was retired they would beat us over the head with it

 

[Emperoreddy]

I think the exact wording was “bigger then AJ”

I might actively avoid Mania if it turns it to be Hogan.

 

[The Gongshow]

bigger than AJ in WWE terms. All of us know there's not much bigger than AJ at this point. He's the best in the world right now (imo) and easily the best in WWE

AJ deserves a big Mania match, but that's just what I want.

I'm very curious as to who AJ will face now.

 

[Paris in Flames]

One day we'll get Seth vs AJ and I'll die a happy man.

Until then it'll probably be Jinder again or some other shit.

 

[Sheppy]

I'd love to see Hogan back in the Silverdome, Brother.


Not.

 

[Cor]

Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns
HHH vs Kurt Angle
John Cena vs Hulk Hogan
The Undertaker vs ....
Ronda Rousey vs Charlotte Flair
AJ Styles vs Randy Orton

Would be absolutely hilarious and likely end up being one of the worst WrestleMania’s ever.
