The glass ceiling of Nakamura, Tanahashi, Okada & Styles being the only "top" guys hurt them a lot over the past couple of years. Hopefully things pick up with the NJ Cup + Okada's reveal of the newest CHAOS member.</p>

As long as it isn't a long term reign so that it pulls from AJ's singles career it should be fine. It also serves the purpose of getting the belts off the New Day, who have more than run their course as tag champs.</p>

I could certainly see this with the IC title though. And using the Freebird rule on a singles title could give the company a fresh new concept to work with.</p>

They released a shirt for Y2AJ...I want it. It's simple, but effective nonetheless.

Well, if were committing to this, I want them to take the titles of New Day at mania. No more of this half-face turn against the league of nations for new day.

 

I still can't believe that this means we are gonna prob get Owens - Big Show over Owens - Zayn or Owens - Styles. Sigh.

<p>With the injuries bug, Big Show was always going to get a match at Mania anyways, it might as well be against one of the most promising guys on the roster in order to put him over. Hoping he does.. and that Owens pulls a WM20 Cena on him.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="petecrimson00" data-cite="petecrimson00" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="25169" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>AJ should be main eventing right away.. Idk how they could keep him down, hes the most capable to replace Rollins for the moment in terms of actual matches. Only question is who to put him in there with</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> No he shouldn't haha. Let's not get ahead of ourselves - AJ is great no question. But one thing at a time. I for one think it's great Jericho is rubbing his exposure on him. It must be fun for Y2J too, because he understands AJ's hype and I'm sure he'll personally make it so he gets treated well in the WWE. Even if he doesn't, as long as Styles holds his own, he'll go places in the industry.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="shawn michaels 82" data-cite="shawn michaels 82" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="25169" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>I don't get all the New Day love. They suck. A lot. Big E is as bland as he was before it, his mic skills haven't improved at all, and him screaming in that intro just makes me wanna shoot him. Same goes for Kofi. Great worker, 0 mic skills. Xavier is meh...Has some skills but i really can't stand him due to New Day. So i hate these guys, not in a "good, you're suppose to hate the heels" way. Just in a "turning my tv off when they're around" way.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Here's the thing... I used to think exactly like this a few months ago. I don't know when it happened, probably when they interrupted The Rock on Raw... that's when I saw their potential as bonafide entertainers. Now they've grown on me. You may not like their gimmick but they do an amazing job at captivating the crowd's attention & their antics are debatably unique which is why they have all this promo time/attention</p>

Anyway WWE Roadblock as many have said before is what Mania should have been with Ambrose vs HHH and the match announced on SD.</p>

Anyone think Ambrose can actually win? HHH is gonna be strong regardless. Ambrose losing a bitch match prior to facing Lesnar wont help him. But Ambrose winning the title what happens with him vs Lesnar?

 

Ambrose seems to be in a no win situation in terms of storyline. Why is he getting a title shot when Reigns is getting it at Mania? Whats the purpose of this PPV?

 

Im also still confused as to why this is a thing since I didnt watch Raw. Also why is Lesnar vs Bray happening? They dropped the ball and are now bringing it back at this BS event? WWE botched WM heavily this year. This pathetic attempt to give fans what they wanted in the first place wont save WM.

I assume this "Network special" will be treated somewhat like beast in the east one, where the WWE only kinda sorta acknowledged it happened on main TV afterwards. The treated it like a glorified house show.

<p>NXT and Smackdown were both better than Raw this week. Neville vs Balor, Sasha vs Becky and Ambrose vs Owens were all great.</p><p> </p><p>

Ambrose has to lose at Roadblock. Unless they do a Fatal Fourway at Wrestlemania Lesnar would be left without an opponent.</p>

I do think Ambrose should have won at FastLane. They could have just done Reigns Vs Lesnar II at WM 32 in a grudge match and have Lesnar squash Reigns. You could tell a good story with Ambrose and HHH. Ambrose can cut much better promos than Reigns and would make a more interesting feud.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="milamber" data-cite="milamber" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="25169" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>NXT and Smackdown were both better than Raw this week.
