<p>If we do get a brand extension again, I hope Triple H gets to run Smackdown and Vince stays on RAW. He can push Roman till he falls off a cliff, while Hunter can work with the younger guys/NXT call ups and actually utilize them properly. </p><p> </p><p>

I'm actually thinking really hard about the possibilities. Too bad I'll most likely be really disappointed.</p>

<p>The diva match might be one of the hidden gems that could steal the show, based on past performances of the workers involved. They could go for Charlotte vs Sasha which has proven to be a good matchup and (if I'm not mistaken) hasn't even been done on main (read: non-NXT) shows yet. Then there's Charlotte vs Becky which has been done recently and should benefit from a stipulation or risk being ordinary unless Becky gets the title (and I assume she will). A triple threat might be a logical choice, but I'm not really a fan of those. Anyhow, I hope they amaze us...</p><p> </p><p>

As it's a weak card on paper. Really weak.</p><p> </p><p>

And I liked the brand system in the past. Hell, I even liked the RAWvsSD! video games that had the - albeit simple - manager mode. I stand by my point that it's the best way to simulate competition as TNA has never been competition. They just overdid it with titles, having some lower level titles where none were needed (as divisions weren't deep enough). Let's have one brand focus on tag teams and one brand focus on a competitive women's division.</p>

Hunter will get cheered more than he should because a lot of people don't like Roman and the result is all but a foregone conclusion, which is never good.</p>

Not sure how you can say this is a weak card considering its 38 days or so away from WM. But, that could very well be true as more matches are announced.

 

The women's match should be great regardless of which way they go, although I'd like to see Becky win in a triple threat. :D It looks like we are headed to some form (tag or trio) of New Day vs League of Nations, which should be good as well. I would like to see AJ vs Owens for the IC belt and maybe Neville and Kalisto for the US belt. As for the main event, the best way to do that match is a flat out brawl, which plays to both guys strengths.

Reigns vs HHH - I don't mind Reigns winning but they need to work hard to script the match so it's a good mix of technical and brawling otherwise it's just a copy of Ambrose vs Lesnar but less compelling. And don't go overboard with the interference.

 

Ambrose vs Lesnar - The result should be a forgone conclusion. If they make it as brutal as possible within the PG style Ambrose can lose and still come out looking like a star. Brock needs the win so he can put someone over at a later PPV.

 

Shane vs Taker - Should be a slow spotty match if it happens. Other options are Taker sides with Shane against another opponent of Vince's choosing or Shane recruits Austin to fight for him.

 

Charlotte vs Sasha vs Becky - With Sasha being booked as a tweener it makes more sense for Becky to be in the match and take the pin. Then Sasha feuds with Charlotte. Just a matter of whether they stick with Charlotte as champ a bit longer or give Sasha her Wrestlemania moment. Plans for Bayley's call-up might influence the result.

 

AJ Styles vs Owens - It might be a bit early for this feud but it's Wrestlemania so they might as well. I would book KO to win via cheating to keep him strong. AJ can win the IC title at Payback and they can end the feud at Extreme Rules.

 

Kalisto vs ??? - Neville, Jericho or Miz would all be good opponents, unless Lucha Dragons are part of a big tag team match instead.

Am i the only one who doesnt wanna see AJ get a title yet? Why put a title on a new guy just to do it? Thats the problem. There is no longer a chase for a title because WWE is so used to putting a title on a new or debuting member so quickly. The fact that Wyatt has yet to hold a title while his gimmick doesnt need one before AJ is already in talks to get one is stupid. Also Owens deserves to carry the title for a while before losing it. The man shouldnt be a transitional champ.

 

Give me Owens vs who some that can lose to him. Owens vs Jericho though...

 

 

AJ vs Miz or someone not named Jericho.

He done the same thing with Jericho in his first month of matches vs. X-Pac. X-Pac had to go to Vince and sign off on Jericho before he faced any other person on the roster. Miz and Jericho are now being used in this role to be breaking in AJ. Once they give the ok on AJ then you will see him have different opponents.</p>

<p>God I hope not on the Big Show match. I don't get why they hate money with Owens.</p><p> </p><p>

you had Sami eliminate him from the rumble, which I assumed was the first step of a K.I.S.S booking decision to have them build a 2 month program of Sami wanting revenge for Owens costing him a year. </p><p> </p><p>

All you needed to do for a hot, star making semi main event the next night was:</p><p> </p><p>

-Owen's promo attacking Sami, insulting him for eliminating him but failing to win, as usual, and Owen's saying the next time he sees Sami up here in the "big leagues", he's going to put him out for good. Then Sami's music hits, your off to the races. </p><p> </p><p>

Instead we might get....Owens vs. Big Show. in 2016. weeeeeeeeeee.</p>

I don't get all the Big Show hate, he is a legend a future Hall of Famer. Even at his current age he is a hell of a lot better than Roman Reigns. Chanting "Please retire" at Big Show is extremely disrespectful of a legend. I would rather see Big Show as champion over Reigns any day. Now would there be a possible more interesting feud for Owens? Yes but it could be worse. If Big Show puts over Owens it would make Kevin Owens look great.
